Another trip across our great market and the flow of people even during this weather shows how important trade is to the City and the Compact.

Relationship Note on Alarissa

A delight to catch up with you my dear friend over tea and the sweetest fruits we could find. In my absence your desire to do good in our realm has not stopped, I am just distraught that I could not assist you while I had the chance.

Being a Patron of the Arts has a great positive, to start seeing the works and scripts before they are confirmed. Adding my own insight where I can.

Also it allows to find something different to do and relax with while touring the city's shops. Checking ownership and ensuring that that Commonfolk of our kind City have opportunity.

Hours working through matters for The Crown to ensure our finances are in good order is benefiting us all. A financially steady and prepared Crown, is a realm that can see off all challenges. Coin speaks when others do not.

Relationship Note on Rymarr

Marquis. You may need to part with more silver or set realistic expectations on trying to secure that much diamondplate at a discount of over forty percent.

I am sure the tenacity though is appreciated by someone.

Another matter seeing to since returning to he city, is an update to the liaisons and representatives to each House within the Silver Consortium.

Jeeves, the trusted valet of mine, will be due a reward of some sort when he returns back with the letters.

Relationship Note on Draven

Upon my shop visits, checking up on their market conditions and how fare their payments. I made my way through the market to find myself beckoned across by an overworked broker to share with me their horror.

Young Draven Bruvier. The poor broker is seemingly beside themselves already trying to locate a potential source of the fireweave for you at such a discount, and in that quantity. An almost insulting 35% off versus the base cost. Do ease the broker's burden.

Coin should never be coveted, it should be spent. It's by Gild's blessing we have formed civilisation and society that let's us be rewarded for what we were born to inherently excel at, or work to be good at. When people come to me to learn about matters economic, or 'how to get rich', I tell them I am someone who understands people better than I do numbers. If they can do the same, nothing will prevent them doing as I do. This is the truest thing I have possibly ever said.

Money is a tool. If you obsess over it, you are unwise, and consumed by greed. If you earn it as fast as you spend it, you can make great works in this world. That is all I do.

Relationship Note on Rosalie

I can do little else but speak remarkably highly about Lady Rosalie Redtyde and her ability to take burdens off my shoulders. The lady has been terribly kind in doing House Champagne the honour and providing her time in a number of ways, but not least of all in arranging our events, both internal and external. I look forward to all dinners and extravaganzas under her purview.

Relationship Note on Yasmine

Since my lovely companion Yasmine has joined me in tending to some aspects of business, we've seen quite the growth, which in turns means I can expand other areas of interest my family has.

Those who regularly buy from House Champagne have started to see her name more and more on the books, which makes me awfully proud.

It's also because of her the family is never at all seen as dull or drab in the fashion arenas, and her celebrity there is well deserved, for all her years in acting and modeling. Utterly beautiful.

This week I went to the Catharsis. It is not my usual kind of venue, but as ever, I can learn something about myself stepping outside of my comfort zone.

Unfortunately what I learned was that his highness, Prince Mydas Velenosa, is trying to poison me. I hear what he served me something called Foolsbane and, it is true, I was quite the fool to accept.

Never again.

Business has been booming of late and I enjoy sharing around such bountiful profits. It, as ever, my great delight to continue sponsoring the Whisper house, Bard's College, and renowned artists of the Black Rose Theatre.

For other enterprising sorts, do reach out, and we shall see what we can do for you.

Relationship Note on Harlex

I look forward to calling upon the services of this man in the future. My family have aptly named him the 'Champagne knight'. Technically, he's no sir, but we'll make it work.

It's been a week of celebration, it seems like. First, good business well done. Second, a new hire amongst my family's retainers. Now, a little vacation.

Relationship Note on Mae

Silver is the currency of Arvum, darling. We're a consortium in Arvum, for economic powers.

Just to clear up any confusion to that connection for any readers.

It brings me great joy to know that I can both bring people discounts on their silks that will be used in the latest fashion trends and also make a profit.

The brokers in the market have gotten to know my face for more than just taxation, too. That's always a bonus.

Aeterna and umbra prove to be the most popular so far. I have warehoused a good quantity for this week's demands.

It is with overwhelming joy that I can put ink upon paper to declare that I have a firstborn, a daughter, and a new light of my life. Celebrations are shortly incoming to spread that same fortune and wealth of blessings given by the gods, as is only right.

Yelena Grayward, born to Yasmine Rovashani and myself, is a tiny thing and yet her presence in my life is consuming. She's perfect.

I would just like everyone to know that I didn't do anything to the coins.

I also might be temporarily blind due to being in the Crown vault at the time of The Shinening.

I will put this very, very simply. If one does not see the prospect of saving for weeks as sufficiently acceptable for time spent under the direct tutelage of a Princess-Consort of House Thrax, one of the Great Houses of the Compact, it is insulting. It should be something one aspires to, and if one does not, they needn't save their silver for such.

Placing a constraint on accessibility to such rare opportunities in the name of charity is reasonable. The decision to not participate is equally so. The disparaging of another's choice to value their time so highly shows thought lacking in critical thinking.

I worry for Marquis Fairen Leary and Lord Tomwell Leary, I truly do.
