Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Luciana let go of his hand, then gently rubbed Donovan's cheek and asked, "Did you take care of finding that embroiderer and sending the message to the trade caravan?" "Already done. But it's gonna take a while to get a reply. Still, even if no reply comes, whatever you want will definitely get delivered" Donovan leaned in and nuzzled her hand a little, clearly trying to please her.

Luciana had always stayed in contact with various caravans, buying rare spices, gemstones, fine emeralds, glass, coral, and so on from them. Some rare herbs and minerals, only found in specific regions, were also bought from the traders. Luciana would then process them int products and sell them through her own shop.
