Right after the signing, the nobles applauded enthusiastically for a while. It actually made me kind of uncomfortable. What are they celebrating? I hope they don't just feel obliged to clap for me. This deal is going to cost these nobles a lot of money. Wait, maybe they don't mind because it's actually a good deal for them.
Let's see, as far as I know, I'm offering my military protection and trade with my subjects. I get the impression that elven crafts and amazon materials are very valuable among humans.
I'm basically giving this country a monopoly on the sacred forest trade. So, it could be that they stand to make a lot of money trading in sacred forest items. I'm sure some of these nobles are already making plans to enrich themselves. I had better make sure my subjects don't sell things too cheaply.
