"I am happy that all of you took your time to attend this party. We are not here to talk about serious stuffs but you need to know that in the month of late September, this adhesive powder called cement would be available in the market for the customers so, if you are an intelligent person, you should be asking how you will be procuring this cement so that you can sell it to other markets. In addition, I plan to build carriages with the steam engine. We will forgo the use of the unreliable horses for transportation and bring the use of the locomotives. Cheers everyone and wish me a good luck and success in changing this world." Virtya raised his cup after saying this and he received cheers and clapping before the people in attendance continued to enjoy the party.
The party was taking place inside a large hall of the palace and candle chandeliers were what illuminated the hall, it was not that these candles were enough to illuminate the hall perfectly as they only seem to act as a piece of aesthetic. The real thing that illuminated the hall were the torches fixed all around the wall of the hall.
It was nightfall and Virtya had arranged this party after he came back to Whiten.
Currently, he was quite energetic as h had took a hot bath, slept and ate after the lifting off the heavy burden of constructing the cement factory.
The party was attended by many nobles, local merchants and foreign merchants.
Virtya had invited all of them and he didn't expect that he would receive a hundred percent attendance as no one that he invited missed this party. Of course, the attendance rate was attributed to the fact that Virtya would be making a powdered material that would help in the construction sector not to mention the fact that Virtya had also declared that he would make the carriages to move without the use of being pulled by the horses or the workers.
All the invited guests were influencial people and they all had spies who were keeping tabs on Virtya's movement and that was why they got the information about what Virtya had been doing and his plans. How do you expect them to miss this occasion to verify what they heard?
The hall had chairs and tables which were arranged exclusively so that the most respected people sat at a designated area while the others sat at the remaining part.
It could be seen that at Virtya's table, it was only him and Tanya while Alexandre and Galina sat at a table beside them, there at of the people around then were the few dukes in attendance and some respected merchants.
All the attending guests were wearing black suits and black leather shoes while the men and women (palace maids) who served them were wearing yellow shirts and black pants.
A 15 year old influencial singer had been invited and she was entertaining the guests with her bewitching voice. Of course, the musician was not alone and she was being helped with her band.
"I can't imagine that I managed to pull it through. Even if there had been mistakes here and there, I am absolutely sure that by next week or after next week, we will be getting cement from Pollow factory. I can't wait to build a palace of my own design." Virtya said before he took a sip of wine from his cup. He stared at Tanya who was now shaking her wine cup as if she was debating if she should drink the wine or not.
"That is good for you. You have achieved what you wanted." Tanya answered while still staring at her cup. Tanya's answer was short which caught Virtya off guard as he had expected Tanya to tell him how he struggled to to assemble the turbine and installing it and she would have even mocked him at how his hardwork turned out to be a joke because the turbine that he struggled with it was simply a useless junk that could not do a thing at the cement plant, but Tanya didn't say that.
