Klaus once again shows up to the dismay of Wend and has a request. He wishes Wend to hold a bazaar to sell items o the population since the merchants can only come once every 3 months. He tells Wend he doesn't care what he sells as doesn't care that he makes a profit. He already got permission from Artur and he will block Kurt from interfering. Wend gets Elise's approval before he agrees then his group and the junior commander family help set it up.

They set up the bazaar in an area in between the three villages as Elise goes to the villages and advertises the bazaar. Once it opens almost all the villagers show up to buy. Wend is amazed that just about everything he put out to sell have been bought. Later when they are sorting the money Ina is shocked by the amount of money the villagers spent. Burkhart is also helping with the count while filling Wend on what Kurt was doing during this time. He lets Wend that he met with his followers and gave them instructions. The groups starts to have discussion about the village and how when they tries to give money as a reward to the kids they got an unexpected result. The children didn't know what to do with the money so they had to give them gifts instead. This causes the group to realize that the situation in the territory is worse than they thought.
