βββHe had to admit β not that he thought it'd be simple β just how damned demanding trade reports were. Among his equipage were copies of past Madrid guild accounts, including reports to reference from.

To the Most Esteemed Guild Master,
Per your request, an audit of the recent supply was conducted following our recent gathering. The Assistant Warden, alongside our masters, expected a routine assessment, but were met with an unexpected outcome. During convene with the traveling suppliers, they proposed a new commodity to the market. However, their demonstration was insubstantial despite their fervency for organizational ideology. Nothing of material worth after inspection β no silver, no iron β despite the promise of gold.
Some members were beginning to hesitate to question their credibility, while others dismissed them as frauds. The market momentum may endure minor fluctuations should external actors seek to disrupt stability. How much stock should we place in such ventures? Their timing and method suggest an interest beyond simple commerce, depending on whether this is an isolated attempt or part of a broader investment strategy.
Further assessments are necessary to determine if future negotiations will follow similar patterns. Our competitors watch, but I shall remain watchful and report accordingly.
π·πΆπΊπ» πΊπͺπΉπ°π·π»πΌπ΄ Caelius has yet to acquire the warrantum suum de fidelitatem of the suppliers.
In service,
Deputy Warden L. de RΓos
Worshipful Company of Fletchers

βββWithout a doubt, the empress would understand his use of βinsubstantialβ over βunsubstantial.β Magic involvement shouldn't be ruled out. And if she were to request details, hell, he'd gladly explain them.
βββEnzo unscrewed the hollow crossbow bolt from its arrow, scrolled the parchment, and slotted it in, followed by a locking. All he'd need to do now was to drop by one of her fletcher guilds and deliver this to a contact. The courier'd handle the rest.
