"You what?" Amelie looked at those two in surprise, not expecting Lothur to publicly assume such a shameful thing.
"The Frost family gave both sisters to the same man?" Lina said in disbelief.
That was a polygamous world, at least for the most part. And even monogamous people understood the relationships of those different from themselves and did not judge them negatively. But even in this society, sisters marrying the same man was an abnormality.
And considering that Annaliese and Viktoria were twins and the only daughters of the Frost patriarch, the situation became even more special.
"Hmm, but please keep the secret about it. We haven't revealed it in public yet." Lothur smiled at those two while Annaliese looked at him with wide eyes.
Lothur understood what was on his sister-in-law's mind, but he knew that these people would not go around talking about it. After all, this family wanted to avoid public contact with House Frost and seemed to want to get closer to him.
Thus, it would not do this organization any good to spread rumors about Lothur and Annaliese.
On the other hand, by saying this to these women, Lothur showed how vital the Frost family was to him, which would invariably affect their business together.
They wanted to do business with him, but they would have to consider this!
So, after hearing Lothur's request, the two nodded in agreement while they had many thoughts in their minds.
They would not go out talking about it publicly since they had more important things to do and would not benefit from just dirtying the Frost family's image. Besides, if Lothur was so good as to be invited to join the Formation Masters Association council, then he was even more valuable to them!
That way, the two tried to ignore some of the problems related to what he talked about as they finally sat around a dining table.
"Please try this one..."
The blonde hostess showed some appetizers prepared for the two visitors to taste as she poured wine for the four of them.

"The rumors about you are somewhat unfounded..." Lina commented as she looked at Lothur's handsome face. "Besides being talented, you are also with both sisters while everyone thinks your marriage is fake..."
"Is that a strategy of yours, Lothur? What are your plans for the future?" This black-haired woman questioned him, ignoring the food on her plate.
Lothur continued to eat next to Annaliese and answered. "My goal is to build something that eventually no longer needs me but can guarantee me a comfortable position."
"Oh? That's a good goal..." Amelie commented as she watched him thoughtfully. "But how are you going to do that? With your qualities as a tailor and formation master?"
"I will use my skills relating to those professions and others." He smiled as he thought about presenting his main project to these women.
He wanted as many associates as possible, so since the Christen family was a rising bourgeoisie, undoubtedly looking for growth opportunities, this was a good try for him.
"I have something in mind that will change transportation across the continent." He placed his cutlery on the table and looked at the two. "I have a project for a vehicle that will not need animals or beasts to be moved."
"What? Is something like that possible?" Amelie was surprised at his idea and asked this since she had no experience in the subject.
But Lina, as a formation master, had heard of past tests concerning people trying to produce objects that moved by themselves, using spiritual energy as fuel.
Unfortunately, only small objects like fans worked with that idea. When groups of people tried to create automatic flying chariots or boats in the past, they always failed.
These means of transportation were too slow, difficult to control, and could not carry several people or too much cargo at once. Anyway, there were several problems related to this unique means of transportation that Lothur seemed to talk about, which discouraged Lina a bit.
"It is possible, but never in the history of our profession has anyone capable of producing something with similar power to ordinary chariots," Lina commented, already thinking that Lothur would fail.
Lothur understood why this woman did not trust him since he had already heard of some of the failed designs made throughout history. "Don't be so quick in your judgments regarding my project, Miss Engelmann. My idea is entirely new and in no way resembles what my predecessors have tried to do."
"Is that so?" She asked with a smile on her face.
"Yes, I will have the miniature of this project later this month, so I will show it to you if you wish..." He returned his attention to his plate.

"I will also present it to the Becker family, some merchants of Lewerenz, probably my women's family, and someone else I plan to meet soon." He said, trying to draw these women's attention to the fact that he already had other contacts.
"Becker family?" Those two were surprised that Minos was mentioning the name of this family.
Rumors were going around the province that the Becker family was going to marry their daughter to the heir of House Baier. So as much as that family was not an enemy of House Frost, the Baiers did not have good relations with Annaliese's family!
Because of this, it was rather strange to think that a probable future enemy of House Frost would be in the network of contacts of the husband of the future leader of that family in question!
Annaliese then said. "Lothur has an excellent relationship with young Miss Becker... Moreover, he has dined with the patriarch's family a few times and earned that man's interest."
"Is that true?" Amelie asked Lothur with interest in her eyes.
"Yes... Also, I am already doing business with that family regarding that glove I presented to you." He maliciously said.
These people probably thought before he arrived for this dinner that, besides talent, he had nothing else. But his words and Annaliese's showed these women that he was not just a naive junior without connections.
Lothur was someone with goals, already working towards them, and would not just depend on one organization.
People like this were harder to manipulate but more interesting to partner with!
After all, it was better to be around competent individuals than the other way around.
Because of this, Lothur was sparing no effort to show these people his position, quoting things that, if investigated, would confirm his position.
And both Amelie, and Lina, knew they could investigate all those words of theirs.
"I see..." The blonde woman commented. "Then I will wait until you have such a thing in hand so we can talk about this special vehicle..."
'In the meantime, I will send someone to check that information...' She looked at her friend, and even without saying a single word, she managed to get her message across to Lina.
Lina then commented. "Well, it seems you know what you are doing and already have the means to do so. So, I guess you wouldn't be interested in joining the Christen family..."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
