Immediately all the merchant's Traders assembled in the throne room, all of Jake's monarchs were already seated at both sides of Jake, Jake then stood up to speak.
" You all are welcome, please sit!" Jake said to the merchants and traders.
" The reason for me calling you all here today is to tackle the issue of Arcadia wasp problem! " Jake then paused to look at the reaction of the merchants and traders before continuing.
" I have finally found the solution to our problem! " After saying this Jake then brought out the Wasp trinket trap, some of the merchants and traders were looking surprised, while some were keeping neutral faces.
" Here with me is my latest invention called!, Trinket Wasp trap!" Jake then got up and pressed the Trinket button, immediately the Transparent box with jelly-like liquid came into being, All the merchants and traders were all amazed.
" Bring me any captured wasps!" He ordered Jake to his guards, after few minutes the guard was seen coming in with five wasps in a barrier trinket.
He brought it to Jake, Jake then kept the Trinket Wasp trap some feet away from the barrier trinket. Then he released the wasps, immediately the five of the wasps started flying towards the Trinket Wasp trap.
It was as if the jelly-like liquid inside the trap was pulling them to come in.
When they got close to the box they started rushing into the little hole on the Trinket Wasp trap and they started feeding on the liquid, in less than one 1minutes they had finished sucking all the jelly-like liquid.
All the Monarchs, Merchants, and traders were all amazed, some even clapping. The wasps were trying to come out of the Trinket Wasp trap, but they couldn't, the hole they came in was still open, but for some reason, the Merchants and traders didn't know why they couldn't get out of the trap they were all left confused.
" I know that all of you have questions to ask, but I will only be answering two of your questions!, so who will be the first to ask?" Jake asked looking at the Merchants and traders.
" Your majesty, am truly amazed, we all are!, but I have a question! how did you design the trap to be able to hold the wasps from escaping when the hole they got in through is still open?" One of the Merchants asked, he was one of the rich and top merchants in Arcadia, a man who was in his 30s.
" First of all, my invention plan is for only myself to know, and not for anyone, then second why they can't escape is because of the special way I create the trap!" Replied Jake. The Rich merchant sat down unsatisfied, then the next person got up to ask.
" Your majesty, you did a wonderful job, this will make Arcadia rise to the top of the power rank, if I may ask, how did you use in making the jelly-like liquid inside the trap that makes the wasps to be attracted to it?" The Trader woman asked.
"As I said, no one is to know how I made my invention, seems like there isn't any relevant question! so let's get on to the next agenda the business part!" Jake replied to the traders and merchants.
Some of them had angry looks on their faces, while some looks were unsatisfied.
" The main reason of me calling all of you here is because, I will be setting up the first Arcadia invention trade!, and I want you all to buy from me then you can sell to Arcadians or where you wished to trade!, we will start first from Arcadia then will move to other kingdoms, so what do you say?" Jake asked looking at the Merchants and traders.
" I would be honored to be your first buyer your majesty, and I am willing to pay for a hundred of the Wasps Traps your majesty!" The merchant who asked Jake question first was the first to reply.
" Good, for now, we have only 200 of the wasp traps, so anyone also interested could come to my monarchs Kathy and Amy tomorrow, they will be handling the Trade!" Said Jake and he immediately disappeared, then his monarchs followed.
Everyone started getting up to leave the palace. Jake didn't go to his room straight but teleported to an underground workshop just below the palace.
50 people who looked like forgers could be seen all standing as soon as Jake teleported in. Floyd and Mina were also there and after greeting Jake, Floyd then brought out a scroll with lots of signatures recently signed.
" King Jake this is all the people who are willing to work for you on the Wasps Trap with the swearing oath of keeping the creation of the trap secret and also an oath of not trying to betrayal you by creating theirs! they have already signed the scroll, what is remaining is just the oath swearing!" Floyd said handing over the scroll to Jake.
" You all did well, and I promise you that you and your families will be well paid and taken care of! so now you all can come one after the other to take the oath!" Jake said. And immediately the forgers started coming towards Jake to take the oath.
As soon as they were all done swearing the Oaths, the oaths stone disappeared back into Jake and he then taught them how to create the trap, but he didn't teach them how he made the jelly-like liquid, he needed to hide some of his secrets even though they all swear oaths were still being cautious.

In the East part of Arcadia a hooded man could be seen entering the woods, he got to open space inside the woods then he took off his hood revealing his face, it was the rich merchant who had a meeting with Jake.
He then threw something out of his hand, and immediately a large warehouse came into being. He went towards the door, opened it, and got in, inside the warehouse, A large table could be seeing situated at the corner of the warehouse with chairs and people sitting all around the table.
" You are late Adanberht!" One of the people seated said looking at The Rich merchant.
