"Ah, yes, that ingredient is named Colat, a consumable cream extracted from a slow-growing plant in the moon of Auroria", said the Emperor. "Due to its rarity, it is quite expensive. Colat is a new-found trend amongst the aristocracy, with some liking the cream and others finding it distasteful. I am myself ambivalent regarding its taste"

"We Stoinians aren't quite as used to sweet tastes in our sandwiches. But I believe there is indeed a market for it in your Empire. I doubt many Stoinians would be interested in paying such a high price for any type of plant extracts."
The King spoke with a rather calm tone for his temperament. The Chancellor was seeing an opportunity here. "Perhaps this cream or plant has other beneficiary effects which our populace would be interested in?"

"Not in particular. There are no outstanding medicinal or postively biologically altering elements that come from ingesting Colat, or at least that is what I know. I am no biological expert, and thus I cannot speak as an authoritative source on this matter"
The Minister of Finance interjected, for she knew something about Colat. She had visited Auroria recently to meet with some regional business tycoons in a financial summit, and whilst chit-chatting with one of them, she was informed a bit on the substance. "Your Majesty, I have heard that Colat can aid humans and Velpans with the biological constitution of muscles in the body if ingested adequately due to its particular proteins"

"Interesting, but are you certain this couldn't be used as a drug of sorts? I don't mean to incur, but it sounds that Colat may become a foundation of a new type of drug. Of course this is highly speculative and don't know nearly as much about Colat. It's just a precautious thought I had."
The Chancellor answered. He didn't intend to insult the Ryccians, but they were already showing decadent behaviour and who knows what they could do. Pacifica: Myria, Sallodesia, Stoinia • A1-0: Stoinian Star Kingdom • Aurora: Kingdom of Threnebor
"So far as we are aware, Colat cannot be developed into any illicit substances", said the Chancellor, "From what I was told, numerous secret laboratories have attempted to forge a damaging drug from the food item without much success, and thus it is harmless"

"Then I would only advise to keep vigilant. History has proven that such illicit substances always find a way to people who are the most vulnerable to it"
The King spoke in a patronising manner. Pacifica: Myria, Sallodesia, Stoinia • A1-0: Stoinian Star Kingdom • Aurora: Kingdom of Threnebor
Ferul noticed the tone in his voice, and so did many in his Cabinet. Many were annoyed, but to react to that attitude would be counterproductive. It would just be adding fuel to the fire.
"Our authorities police our state to the best of their ability. You need not concern yourself too much on our internal affairs, Your Majesty, but I do thank you for the thought"

"Indeed I trust you police force. But should it ever come it, there are Stoinians eager to expand their businesses into the Ryccian Empire. These are mainly Bounty Hunters and Private Investigators who would want that. I don't believe you have told me if such practices are still done or legal for that matter. Could we get a more detailed perspective about it?"
The King asked rather inquisitively, though his hopes were rather low for a productive conversation. Pacifica: Myria, Sallodesia, Stoinia • A1-0: Stoinian Star Kingdom • Aurora: Kingdom of Threnebor
"Such policies depend on the level of crime in a region. For example, private citizens cannot take the law into their own hands under any circumstances in peaceful regions such as the Core, but in regions such as The Imperial Rim, where our forces are constantly engaged in anti-piracy operations, private citizens can perform tasks as auxiliaries to local police and military units by acting as reconnisance and temporarily joining official ranks if they possess legal military-grade weaponry that was purchased at their own expense. These 'militiamen', as they are sometimes referred as, fulfill a task in exchange for payment. However, the practice is not so widespread as to justify your bounty hunters to expand into our borders, I am afraid"

"I see, well in our Kingdom they work through a license which one can buy and perform several strict tests. I see their Bounty Hunting skills may not be accepted here, but what about their Private Investigation enterprises? You see, our Bounty Hunters often work the two jobs as they work hand in hand, would this still be acceptable in the Ryccian Empire? I don't quite see how that would be a problem. In return any Ryccian private investigators can also expand in Stoinia."
