Chapter 475: Sticks and Carrots are equally important
"Master," Tsalinade made an awkward curtsy as we approached the sunroom. I had no idea whether it was because it had been a long time since she bowed to anyone, or because she still had some apprehension toward submitting herself to me.
Well, didn’t matter to me.
I observed her briefly as we stopped walking. "Are you here because you need another drop of Amrita?" I asked dryly.
It might be because I now knew that Valmeier’s grandfather was an identical soul to my grandfather, but I found my annoyance with this magician not lessening one bit--if not increasing. I couldn’t say I was glad to see her, so depending on her objective, I would either listen or kick her out.
She flinched and shook her head swiftly. "N-no, that’s not--" she paused, biting her teeth and took a deep breath before continuing. "Well...that also why, but I would not dare show my face in front of you with nothing in my hands, Master."
I looked at her hands and tilted my head. "I don’t see anything in your hand, though?"
"I--I already handed the stuff to this--"
"This?" Zarfa raised her brow and her voice while at it.
Tsalinade cleared her throat and started over. "I...I mean, I already handed the items to Miss Goldbel here..."
"Hmph!" Zarfa scoffed and walked passed her inside the sunroom.
"Hmph!" Jade followed with narrowed eyes and puffed cheeks that only made him look adorable instead of menacing.
