>>5193410Your visit to see Mayor Fowley had lasted a quite long time. With the great profits and the ideas of both trade and military actions planted into the mind of Fowley, you considered this a successful visit. With these profits you could arm and recruit more soldiers, attempt to fix your worsening supply situation or outright buy more foodstuffs and equipment.
The idea of acquiring the masterwork armour from Dalaran came to your mind too, but would you put yourself ahead of the needs of Alterac?
Either way, you were quite hungry and with Mayor Fowley forgetting to invite you for a dinner, you headed towards the place that you knew would have food.
You had noticed it earlier, but hadn't really thought about it. There were scaffoldings around the inn Monica owned and the workers were still working around it.
Stepping into the inn, you saw the place bustling with people. You didn’t notice anyone familiar or anyone who could be a threat to you, but the people there did notice you arriving.
"Prince Alric, it is our honour to serve you." Said the bartender that you didn’t recognize.
"What has happened to this place? Where is Monica?" You asked the bartender as you were somewhat confused.
"Prince Alric, I am renovating the place and I have hired some workers to help me." Monica said as she stepped out from the backroom. "It is really nice to see you, you are probably hungry?"
"Very."
…
Monica had guided you to a private room in the new extension that had been built since you last visited Tarren Mill. Apparently the increased trade had brought more visitors and she had invested the profits into renovating the place and building an extension for more important visitors.
It didn’t take long for a waitress to bring you a bowl of venison and vegetable soup with a mug of cold beer. Monica told you as you ate the soup that along with the bartender, she had hired a cook and a waitress. This had meant that she could spend more time actually running her inn and supervising the work instead of being the one who did it all.
"Impressive work. I hadn't expected such a change so fast if I were to be honest." You said to Monica.
"Thank you, it means a lot when you say it." Monica said and looked at you admiringly. "You have Alterac and Dawnholme while I have my inn."
Monica laughed at what she had said and you couldn’t prevent yourself from smiling. This was her kingdom.
"So Alric, I heard you visited Stormwind City? How was the city, is it as beautiful as the stories say it is?" Monica asked you and leaned a bit closer.
