Merit blushed to a deep red with pleasure. she followed her Father and the merchant king. She was walk on air with happiness. She was also excited about being the first to see the wares. So many people were walking about and animals were tied with ropes and children minding the animals. Goats, sheep and camels, she recognized but there were others she did not know. She kept a sharp eye out to see everything that was going on for she did not want to miss a detail.<br/><br/>"Merit has no suitors at this time. But if you wish to change that status, I would be willing to listen to what you have to say. Then I shall speak with her and my wife, Hat-Su to see if it would be a suitable arrangement. Merit has a small dowry that she has work on as well as learning how to keep her own quarters and servants. She has a small garden to sit in.<br/>Here is the grand courtyard where there should be plenty of room for your people to set up their tents as well as their wares. The camels and live stock may be housed in the pasture just beyond that wall. It has a small pond for drinking purposes and plenty of grass for them to eat. The weather has been terrific, thanks be to our gods.<br/>I hope that this will be satisfactory for you and your people?"  Achencheres inquired of King Henry.
