Chapter 121: When you’re the actor but you don’t know the script
I was too flabbergasted by my new wealth that I couldn’t concentrate on Malta’s explanation on each room this floor has--I’d just ask Theemis later.
I mean...yes, I knew I was bound to a relationship with the wealthiest demon in the realm. I knew that I could just ask him for anything and Natha would buy it for me, provided it was reasonable. There were three rooms full of treasures that I could plunder to my heart’s content.
But it was different, way different with raw capital. It was different when I had the freedom to buy and procure what I wanted by myself, without having to first amass the courage to ask him for something.
So, forgive me, Malta, but right now your explanation kept bouncing off my ears.
Thankfully, she ended the tour fast, because it was just an introduction anyway. "I heard you’re waiting for someone to work as your researcher, Young Master, so we put the position of the floor’s manager on hold."
That topic brought my focus back, because I had to think about what she meant. It took me a few seconds to remember the mission that Heraz had been doing right now; catching the runaway elf.
"Ah, right. I don’t know if he’ll work with me, though..."
"If you wish for it, His Lordship shall make it happen," Malta replied confidently.
Geez--what do you think Natha was? A genie?
"We’ll see about that later. I’ll still use the place either way,"
We bid farewell to the two imps then, because today’s tour still had one more itinerary. Again, I had to endure those curious and interested stares as we left the southern tower and made our way to a colosseum-like building just outside of the main castle.
