Amoly

I knocked on the door that the butler soon opened for me.

"I came to see Max."

He let me in.

"The master is currently busy. Would you be kind to wait a minute, miss?”

"Of course, of course…"

He took me to a room.

"Would you like something to drink while you wait?"

"Cold cream drink."

"I'll get it for you right away. Make yourself comfortable. "

I sat down on the couch and took off my robe. I looked around the room. It was quiet, very quiet, that pleased me. I leaned back on the couch and closed my eyes. I was thinking about everything that happened a few days ago. They were full of surprises and exhausting. And the next few days will be especially hard because of the journey. I can’t believe Oliver convinced us of this. Well, at least he'll pay us well, we'll earn more than enough.

Butler came in and served me a drink and put a bowl of fruit on the table. I was drawn to the orange in that bowl. It reminds me of an orange turtle with blue eyes. Heh, he reminds me a lot of Larot. They are similar in character, always thinking about jokes and games and just looking at how to annoy someone. What was his name called…?

“Amoly! What are you doing here, my dear? ”

I looked at the black panther who greeted me cheerfully.

"It's nice to see you, Max."

I smiled at him and shook his hand.

“Where is the rest of the team? Hm? ”

"They couldn't come, they have work to do."

"Too a pity, really pity… Tell me what brings you to me. I know you girls well. You only come to visit me when you need something. Right? You should come to me more often.” he said as he poured himself a drink.

"Yes, we need something. We're leaving tomorrow, the four of us won't be here for a while."

"Should I keep an eye on the property and the inn?"

"Exactly. Can you?"

"Of course. No problem."

After we agreed on the price, there was silence.

“So, where are you going? I guess some work again.” He asked me to break the silence.

"I can't tell you anything." I answered him and took a sip of my drink.

"So that's why you don't want to tell me how long you won't be here?"

"No, I just don't have the answer to that. The four of us don't know that either. But Rosabella will be there. "

"Mhm" How is she? I heard about the incident at the market." He asked.

"She was lucky. And those people got their lesson."
