"I couldn't even wait for Nora and Monica to wake up," he chuckled.novE.lB(In

They all laughed together as Nexus continued.

"So, I found a great idea for our vitality elixir last night," he told them with a smile.

Madeline and Selina looked at each other with puzzled looks. "I thought we already had the plan to sell them to military men," Selina asked him.

"Oh, yes, that plan is still there," Nexus said, still giddy with what he was about to share. "But I found an even better way to sell the vitality elixir," he said, his smile widening.

"And how would we do that?" Selina asked, still confused. "Who else can we sell it to?" she asked.

"We would sell it as a sexual booster," Nexus said with a huge smile on his face. As the two women processed what he just said, he continued to explain, "We would sell the elixirs to men who have issues in the bedroom, you know," he said, his smile widening. "When they take a bit of this, they would have even more vitality than a horse," he laughed out loud.

The women now understood what he was implying and laughed along with him. "Oh, that is an amazing idea, Nexus," Selina was the first to acknowledge. "I mean, do you know the amount we could make distributing this super-effective Viagra? If it becomes popular among men, even women will be coming to purchase it for their husbands," she said, her voice getting even more high-pitched as her business sense kicked in.

"This is amazing," Madeline said, looking at Selina with happy eyes.

"Yes, Madeline, yes," Selina said, "we would make so much money from this. Do you know how many aristocrats have issues in the bedroom? If we start mentioning names, it will take the whole day," she laughed again. "These people will definitely rush for this product," she said.

"That is exactly what I thought," Nexus said, happy that they had grasped the idea. "I told you it was an amazing one," he said, a tinge of pride in his voice.

"Nexus, this is really good," Madeline said. "Speaking of aristocrats, do you know that Reaves is one of these men?" Madeline said.

"Reaves?" Selina asked, widened eyes in surprise. She was aware that there were several men with dysfunction, but she did not think that the ever-charismatic Reaves was in this number.

"Yes, Reaves," Madeline reiterated.

"You mean the man that invited us to the banquet?" Nexus asked, very curious.

"Yes, exactly," Madeline said. "I can clearly remember that my late husband once told me Reaves was having issues making love to his wife because of his failed manhood," Madeline said.

"I couldn't believe it myself then," she continued, "I mean, Reaves, the powerful mage and politician, cannot last long in bed. I was truly surprised," she said.

"Oh, wow," Selina commented. "Well, charisma does not mean a good penis," she joked, forcing all of them to laugh out loud once more. "I never heard about this before, though," Selina said as she looked at Madeline.

"Yeah, very few people know about this," Madeline explained between laughs. "It was his dirty secret," she said as she composed herself finally.

"Well, are you thinking what I am thinking?" Nexus said with a smile.

"We certainly are," Madeline answered.

"Our new drug deserves some publicity," Nexus said.

"And Reaves is the perfect advertisement," Selina completed as they all burst out laughing again.

"Don't you worry," Madeline said, "I will do this part myself. I just have to pay him a visit and sell it to him," Madeline said.

"Alright," Nexus said, taking a more serious tone. "This depends on you now. You have to try your best to convince him," he said to Madeline.

"Of course I would," Madeline responded. "Just trust me," she said.

And with that, the three of them continued their jokes and talks on this new idea. It was definitely a turning point for them. The prospect of a new market for their vitality elixir, especially among the aristocrats, opened up a realm of possibilities and potential profits.

Nexus, Madeline, and Selina discussed strategies, marketing plans, and how to approach Reaves with their unique proposition. The dawn of a new venture awaited them, and the excitement in the air was palpable.

-------------------

Later that day, the sun began its descent, casting long shadows across the bustling streets of Castra City. Madeline, armed with a batch of the potent vitality elixir, carefully prepared by Nexus, set out on a mission to visit the James family. Nexus watched her go, a mix of anticipation and curiosity in his eyes.

"I hope he accepts them," Nexus said as he handed the vials of the elixir to Madeline.

"I believe he would," Madeline reassured him. "Just trust me," she added, a confident smile playing on her lips.

Nexus nodded, putting his trust in Madeline's marketing abilities. She had proven to be a great leader in times past, and he was sure she could pull this off as well. Madeline, with a sense of purpose, made her way to the James family, carrying additional presents to express her gratitude for their assistance.

Reaves and Madeline's late husband had been close pals during the latter's lifetime. They had shared stories, victories, and secrets with each other. It was through this friendship that Madeline's husband had learned about Reaves' hidden struggle. This knowledge had prompted him to assist Madeline during the banquet when her lands were unjustly taken.

Reaves, a shrewd businessman and politician, typically refrained from involving himself in matters that wouldn't directly benefit him. When the Russel family fell into penury after Madeline's husband's death, Reaves had chosen not to extend help, deeming it unprofitable. However, with the recent success and prosperity of the Russels, he saw potential and an opportunity to bring them closer into his orbit.

Madeline arrived at the James residence, a grand and imposing structure that spoke of the family's status. The butler welcomed her and guided her to the drawing-room, where she found Reaves immersed in a book, seemingly lost in thought.

"Good day, Reaves," Madeline greeted with a polite curtsy.

Reaves looked up from his book, a faint smile gracing his features. "Madeline, what a pleasant surprise. To what do I owe this visit?" he inquired.

Madeline reciprocated his smile, presenting the additional gifts she had brought. "Just a small token of appreciation for your kindness during the banquet," she said. "And, of course, a casual visit to catch up."

Reaves accepted the gifts graciously, his eyes reflecting genuine appreciation. "You've always had a knack for thoughtful gestures, Madeline. Please, have a seat."

"It has been a while since you came visiting like this," Reaves remarked, a tinge of nostalgia in his voice. "I mean, ever since my dear friend died, it has been hard to see you," he confessed, his gaze lingering on the past.

"I am sure you understand what I passed through then," Madeline said, putting on a somber expression as she took a seat. "It was really tough on us then," she added, reflecting on the challenges that had befallen her family.

"Yes, I understand," Reaves replied, settling into his seat.
