Chapter 56: Merchant Guild
Shortly after healing Claudia and confirming that she could sustain the sea journey, Mirelle promptly arrived at the perimeter of Leonard’s chamber.
Outside the chamber stood Curtis, who remained guarded. The look he gave her was unfriendly and almost hostile.
Knowing that her action had made the guards disdainful of her, Mirelle didn’t mind the hostility. It would have been more abnormal if she still received friendly gestures and remarks.
"The Crown Prince summoned me," Mirelle approached Curtis and said calmly.
"I’ve heard." Curtis nodded and sidestepped. "The Crown Prince didn’t wish for us to enter, but considered this a warning. Even if you’re a sixth circle mage with the Mage Association’s backing, there’s a limit to how much you can cross."
"I give my thanks to the warning," Mirelle replied and entered the chamber.
Upon entering, Mirelle spotted Leonard standing near the mirror and donning another set of clothes. Unlike the previous all-black uniform, he was wearing quite a colorful outfit that resembled the likes of wealthy merchants.
’How many sets of clothes has he brought along?’ Mirelle twitched her brows in disbelief. She thought she had understood the crown prince somewhat, but reality had repeatedly proven her wrong.
He was unpredictable and eccentric. His attitude changed faster than the time it took one to breathe properly.
"If you’re here then come help me wear these clothes properly." Amidst her dazedness, she suddenly heard Leonard beckoning for her.
