“Or should I tell you all the few skilled members you had? Wait, wait, wait, or... The meaning behind ‘inky asylum’ that name you created for yourself commander?” She’s smiling telling him about it.

  While the commander was clutching so hard trying to calm his anger inside.

  “How?... How did she know about all of it? Is she really telling the truth? About hitting her head that she saw the future ahead?” The commander is still thinking of a way to understand it all. “Haha...” he's trying to laugh inside at how funny the situation was.

  “My lady,” Ednol who was silent for a while now spoke to her.

  Zenniah looks at him.

  “My lady, if you are telling us the truth about seeing the future ahead, are you menacing us?”

  “Oh... Ednol... My knight, how could I? All I want is for you to believe me, it’s just came out of my mouth this way without any harm, of course,” she calmly replied. “And also just to be your priority as a customer, that's all.”

  “...”

  “What you will say about it, commander?” She asked. “Well, I will follow the terms of payment anyway,” she added.

  The commander took a deep breath and he slowly exhaled.

  “My lady... ...” he sighs. “Alright... Let’s say we believed you... Well, as you say ‘I’m the leader’ of that guild, tell us what we will gain from dealing with you as our priority customer then?” he spoke with a very calmly serious attitude.

  “Hmm... A moment,” she put her index finger in the middle of her eyebrows while closing her eyes.

  The commander and Ednol look at each other’s eyes. The commander made a sign on his pinkie finger and he shook it three times. Ednol understood right away and he nodded at him.

  “Uh-huh...” Zenniah suddenly slams the table and smiles. “Unfathomable golden myrrh.”

  “!!!”

  “!!!”

  Ednol who was trying to be composed stands up when he hears it. The commander explains straight ahead about what she’s saying.

  “The unfathomable golden myrrh is a plant that was so hard to find, my lady. That’s why it was a name that included ‘unfathomable’ in it. It was very complicated to even find a tiny bit of it. Golden myrrh is like the level of a healing saint’s power, or more powerful than of the royal family saint’s or they say more than the saints healing, it can revive the dead person and make it healthy again like it was nothing.” The commander explained to her patiently. Clutching his hands so hard trying to be respectfully calm.

  “That’s how powerful it was. No one ever knew where it was for hundreds of years until now, even the most trusted expeditor of his king, our majesty. The results are still always the same!! So, are you saying to me you know where it was?” He chuckles while looking into her eyes.

  “Oh my... Including your guild, right?” She smirked while crossing her arms.

  “My lady!” Ednol almost shouts at her. He felt like she was insulting the guild the why she said it.

  The commander's hands stop Ednol from talking more. The commander looks at him and shakes his head, then he breathes out slowly.

  “Uh... How many times I sighs in this moment, I can’t count,” he said.

  “Alright... I lost I gave up. As you said, I’m the leader of the naevus inky guild,” he continued.

  “Commander!!” Ednol react.

  “Well, that was fast... Alright then, nice to meet you, leader of the naevus inky guild,” Zenniah reach her hands to him.

  The commander accepted it and they shook hands like ready to deal with the issue.

  “The atmosphere should be different now, I guess!” she used a friendly smile at them.

  “Ednol, just sit down now,” the commander told him. “It’s alright for now, I guessed.”

  “?” Ednol doesn’t know how to respond. “Revealing the truth about the guild is not a good thing,” he thought.

  “Oh... So sorry, I knew dealing with a customer you should wear a mask to hide your identity, right?” She said to them. “But well, I knew already so, I’m very special, different from the other customers you deal with,” she smiles.

  “???”

  “Haa... I don’t know what to say anymore my lady,” the commander replied. “I guess, you really saw the future ahead.”

  “Well, let’s keep that a secret. Like I will keep yours a secret. For now, we’re even, isn’t that right commander?”

  The commander nodded.

  “So be it! Then let’s get to the point. What job do you want us to do? Reaching our guild means is serious one.”

  “Then, I will be straightforward,” she spoke in a tone that tried not to get irritated.

  “...”

  “Find all the people who are disloyal to my father, to be precise to our family. Starting inside our mansion,” she chuckles trying to brush off her irritations, mentioning those disloyal people.

  “What do you mean about that my lady?” Ednol spoke. “Do you mean in this mansion there were people who already betrayed the duke?”

  “Well, yes, but of course not including the people who took the oaths to my father.”

  “How dare they!? Betraying your master is like you are already dead!!” the commander spoke who is most loyal to the house of DeLa Wharlton, mostly to the duke.

  “Give me all the names in a list. Including their in and out of this mansion, who they meet, what they did, etc...” She stands up and leans on the study table. “I believe you will not miss out on even a little bit of information.”

  “How about we talk now about what will our contract be?” she added.

  “That will be great! But my lady as you knew already, I assumed we can’t call you ‘my lady’ as our special customer, right?” The commander asked.

  “Aah.... Right, right. Mr. Inky Asylum, I almost forgot that,” she said in a joking voice.

  “You can just call me Inky when we are in business,” the leader replied.

  “Then, just call me...” she’s like hesitating to say it. “Just... You can just call me Hennah when we are only in business.”

  “Londe is my guild name, my lady” Ednol spoke.

  “This guy just had a simple guild name,” the commander taps the shoulder of Ednol.

  “Now, let’s talk about the contract, shall we?” the commander added.
