In front of the Rowen Trading Guild, Amarti challenges Lawrence, proclaiming he will pay for Holo's falsified debt of one thousand Trenni silver coins and then propose to her, certain that she will leave Lawrence.

Lawrence verhandelt mit Amarti über die Pyritpreise und Holos Schicksal

Lawrence realizes that he has to drop the price of pyrite or risk losing Holo to Amarti. After receiving the information on Amarti's assets, Lawrence finds Amarti and proposes a deal based on credit (essentially, naked shorting on pyrite), which will result in profit for Amarti if the price of pyrite rises or losses if the price of pyrite falls. Amarti accepts the deal after Lawrence appeals to his chivalry and causes him to doubt that Holo will agree to his marriage proposal. Unable to enlist Marc's help to purchase the pyrite necessary to pull off the deal, Lawrence turns to the alchemists in the belief that they should have a large amount of pyrite that he can purchase.

To gain access to the alchemists' quarter, Lawrence asks Batos for a password to meet Diana. Upon his arrival, Lawrence is told that the pyrite has already been sold on credit. Diana, however, agrees to sell Lawrence pyrite instead and tells him that she will handle negotiations and contact him upon their completion. The next morning, Lawrence goes to the exchange with Amarti and receives fourteen Lumione gold coins, equivalent to three hundred Trenni silver coins, in accordance with their deal. The price of pyrite continues rising, worrying Lawrence. (Source: Wikipedia)

Lawrence und Holo navigieren durch die Pyrit-Marktchaos, um ihre gemeinsame Zukunft zu sichern

Lawrence participates in the pyrite market, selling small quantities several times to combat the rapidly rising prices, but to no avail. Lawrence's original plan falls through when Diana's messenger informs him that the negotiations did not go as planned. In despair, Lawrence all but gives up before he is spurred on by Mark's apprentice, Eu Landt. When Lawrence goes to sell his remaining pyrite, Holo also sells a large bag purchased from Diana, revealing that she was attempting to help Lawrence from the beginning. The market quickly turns to selling, dropping the price of pyrite and causing Amarti huge losses. He fails to fulfill his portion of his challenge to Lawrence and gives up his marriage proposal to Holo as a result. Holo and Lawrence realize what they mean to one another and the two grow closer as they decide to continue traveling together to find Yoitsu. (Source: Wikipedia)
