The peace that formerly reigned in Terra Nova has eroded, now little more than a memory. War ravages the continent. Disputes divide kingdoms; ideals divide families. The quest for power consumes absolutely and indiscriminately. None are immune to its allure.
Who will rise and who will fall? Only time—and ambition—will tell.

Change in how times flows. Was 4 IC seasons, now only 2 IC seasons per 1 OOC year.
5 whole years of Heir Apparent goodness! When I started the site, I knew I was hunkering down for the long haul, but I never could have predicted the numerous twists and turns this roleplay site has seen. Hundreds of plots, characters, and members have come and gone, all leaving marks on the site. I am so very thankful for those who have invested. Because you keep coming back, keep getting on, and keep writing, Heir Apparent has the legacy it does today. Three cheers to us!
Things with making potions is that you always need viles to put them in. She had to make sure that she made a list of how many she needed. Dezi knows she could ask one of the staff to go to fetch them for her. However, potion making is a art and she need to make sure that she has the best viles money can get. She goes to one of the shops that sells potions and viles.
Dezi slowly looking around checking quality and price, she is a woman on a mission and the sellers here know that she isn't a woman to mess with cause Dezi know what she is on about with buying goods. "is this the best you got in at the moment? some of the toppers are not sitting right. if the topper not siting right, air gets in or potion spill out. That doesn't look good on you." She explained as politely she could.

Nicholas wasn't very involved with magical business, and had decided to perhaps change that. It was a tricky market, though. Food and supplies needed a stamp of approval, and his company's stamp was a benefit to vendors, vut witches didn't care as much about it. They knew what they liked and went to the shops that were up to their standards. Even the shops weren't keen on partnering up with a big company such as Nicholas'.
That didn't stop him from trying though. He was at the Toil and Trouble that day. He was speaking with the owner in the back.
"I just don't see the benefit, Lord Beaumont. Your stamp of approval means little to us, and we would have to give a percentage of our profits to you? I'm afraid I'm going to have to decline."
He had expected it, but it was still a slap to the face. "I understand, my lady." He stood and smiled at her. Then he left her office and walked back into the store. It was then that he saw Dezembre talking to the the lady behind the counter. Dezembre was his wife's cousin, but they didn't know each other well. They didn't have a lot of family parties.
"Now I understand why you don't want that stamp", he said to the owner, who had followed behind him. If the toppers didn't sit right, the product wouldn't be approved by Nicholas at all.
"I didn't know you knew so much about witch supplies", she remarked dryly. She thought Nicholas shouldn't speak on things he didn't know anything about. He couldn't even make a potion if he wanted to.

"I am sure you're mistaken, i am sire there a easy fix to it." The lady behind the counter explained trying to be calm and professional, but clearly annoyed that they are being called out.
Dezi laughed at the woman softly as she crossed my arms. "I've been making potions for years. I know what to look for." Yeah, she helped with making potions and only recently made them by herself, but she knows a good vile when she sees one. She heard a familiar voice came from behind her and she noticed it was Nick.
She was shocked hearing that these are not approved. "so you telling me none of these are stamped? you know that some of these potions can be highly dangerous and you are letting people put them in any old thing. If i wanted to do that, I would go to a market stall buy a random container and put it in there. They possible safer then these sorry excuse. Thisman know what he is talking about."

The owner of the store was becoming increasingly annoyed. "No, my lady", she said, looking at Dezembre. "Our store doesn't work together with the Beaumont company. Nothing here has a stamp of approval, because the witches supply stores have refused to work with lord Beaumont."
Nicholas was just enjoying the woman battling to explain why her products weren't approved by the Beaumont company. There was no need for them to be because they weren't working together. Their products hadn't been inspected by his team either. They just preferred to stay independent. "Like you said, you know what to look for. The lord here isn't a witch, he wouldn't know what boxes the supplies need to check to be considered good products." She smiled at Dezi, hoping the woman would understand what she was saying.
And Nicholas still didn't say anything. He crossed his arms and smiled at everyone in the store. But it was good to hear that his cousin-in-law say that he knew what he was talking about.

This woman must of been cursed to have the IQ of an ape. She laughed softly at a comment. "You don't know what makes a good product either cause if you do, you wouldn't sell anything faulty. this is possibly why people keep coming back, it not because you sell good products, it is because you sell faulty ones so people need to come back to buy new ones. Lord Beaumont is a man yes, but he does his research, so he more knowledgable about this stuff then you clearly do." Dezi is cleary a woman who have a strong head on and not scared to bite.

Dezi's response made the owner bite her tongue and nod. "Yes, my lady", she said. Nicholas smiled and took a step closer to Dezembre.
"Thank you, lady Chaudhari. I'm sure the lovely ladies here would be more than willing to give you a discount on these flasks, if you're still interested in purchasing them", he said, looking at the owner and the clerk. They nodded, not happy with Nicholas.

Dezi looked at Nick before she looked back at the woman. she was happy that the woman had come to her senses, even though how much is still yet to be questioned. She thought about the discount, "No problem, Lord Beaumont." She said softly before stating, "I am only interested in the discount if you are willing to reconsider working with the Beaumont company." Cause they need to up the standard of products in this shop and it a step in the right direction.
Even though Nick is not blood he is still his cousin-in-law so she would defend him to a point.

Nicholas laughed kindly at what she said and gently placed a hand on her arm. "It's quite alright, Lady Chaudhari. They have made it clear they are not interested, and I won't force them. I can't, I don't have that authority, and I wouldn't wish to either." He smiled at the owner, then looked back at Dezi. "It wouldn't be a good foundation for a partnership, and could hurt my business in the long run, so I will take it somewhere else."

Chaudri respect Nick request, however he gave the owner an glare that would send shiver down one spine if they had one. However, she doubt that they have a backbone to stand on."I'll take my business elsewhere to. Even with a discount, i have to make sure the quality of the jar lives up to the Chaudhari name." She explained.
She can't justify a discount if the wear is not up to standard cause it is a safety risk and it only takes one complaint to ruin her and her family's names. "Thank you." she smiled at the ladies however she wanted to add ... for wasting our times at the end but she decided to hold back.

Not even a discount could make Dezembre change her mind. The owner didn't even care anymore, she just wanted these people out of her shop.
He clapped his hands together. "Well, enjoy the rest of your day, ladies", he said, nodding goodbye to the owner, the woman at the registry and Dezembre, before he would leave the store.
