I'm taking the merchant exams?

(POV: Lumiere)

Finally, we arrived at the Argentia Merchant's Guild. 

The building stood tall and elegant, a symbol of commerce and opportunity. 

As I stepped inside, I was greeted by a bustling crowd of merchants and staff. 

"It's so noisy here," Anastasia said.

Ruri kept smiling. "I guess so, but it's way better than several other merchant guilds." 

"Really?" Anastasia sighed, annoyed. "I can't imagine any where else being worse." 

"Funny how I thought the same thing about you guys," I said. 

"Don't even start," Anastasia frowned a bit. 

Smiling, I raised both my hands a bit. "Don't bite my head off." 

"I wish I could, but it smells like old farts here..." 

"That's the same thing I said when my father took me to Nuvadaʼs merchant guild." 

Come to think of it, I initially wanted to go to Nuvada, but Serena and I got sidetracked by our encounter in the Great Forest.
