At the very moment when the secret agents of the Milwi settled in Paris, the alchemists of France, Jeonju, and the Medici merchants were waiting for their visit.
Whether by fate or fortune, not long after, the men of interest arrived looking for the "Red Moon (lune rouge)."
“Oh my! Welcome, welcome!” The hostess greeted them with a honeyed voice, and the Medici merchant returned a hearty reply.
“Hahaha! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I’m counting on you today as well!”
“Don’t worry about that!” The hostess answered again with her sweet voice, then gave a light nod to the servant who had followed her, quietly instructing him.
“Escort the honored guests to the annex!”
“Yes! This way, please.”
“Oh! An annex, how nice! You really know how to please me!”
The secret agent disguised as a servant led the three to a separate annex in the back.
The annex was a cozy place, perfect for private talks.
Of course, it was also a perfect spot for the Milwi agents to hide and eavesdrop.
Once the three took their seats, a luxurious table full of drinks and snacks was soon set before them.
Once everything was ready, the hostess who had come back asked the Medici merchant with her usual sweet voice.
“What would you like to drink? Dasekju? Vin Brule? Grappa?”
Vin Brule was an early form of the drink that would later be called brandy.
