Chapter 59: VOL2 Chapter 4: Licenses
"Everything has been perfect, young miss. Additionally, the promised compensation has been delivered by the faction and is perfectly organized in the treasury."
"Hehehe, does that old bastard think he can save himself by sending the compensation before we arrive? Age has made him naive." Sigrún commented as a mischievous smile appeared on her face, which was contagious to Eleonora, who smiled similarly.
"Fufufu, most likely he has something good up his sleeve. We need to gather good intelligence this time before we go to swindle..." Eleonora pretended to cough a little and continued as if nothing had happened. "Negotiate with the director."
At the same time, Eleonora placed a plate full of cookies on the table, which she brought closer to Erik. He could only roll his eyes at the brazenness of his beautiful masters, though not without accepting the 'bribe.' After all, the cookies were innocent and were better with him than in his master's ring.
On one side of the table, Seraphina stood professionally, smiling elegantly at the scene. Though her eyes revealed the amusement the whole situation brought her, her attitude quickly changed a bit when she heard Sigrún's voice.
"And Sera, have you made the preparations for Erik's license applications?"
Upon hearing her master's question, Erik couldn't help but look at her confused; after all, he had no idea what she was talking about. Seraphina responded calmly while bowing respectfully.
"Of course, young miss. The young master reached the minimum standard to request it several years ago, so everything is ready and waiting for your approval."
"That's great, as efficient as always, and I think it's better to finish this before the end of the month," Sigrún commented, pleased, then turned to look at her beloved disciple and asked with a smile.
"What do you think, Erik?"
"What licenses are you talking about, master?" Erik asked, genuinely confused, to which Eleonora commented with a slight smile.
