The Beast And The Tamer [MoonSun] Complete

Chapter 8

Within the spacious room assigned to the guests of the royal court, Sandeul enjoyed all the comforts that this type of places always offers, sitting in a large armchair lined with fine fabrics, ate the grapes he had requested and that quickly they had carried, both feet in the exquisite footstool of the room, spitting the seeds of the juicy fruit.

Knock knock knock someone knocked timidly at his door.

Sandeul had to smile at the stealth.

-Come in Eric - He almost shouted and the aforementioned entered the place with a face of horror, to later look at him wanting to kill him.

-Uuuuuhhh Eric ~ that look will cause me nightmares - The black-haired handler mocked.

-Let the childish behavior, I have more important issues to attend and my presence in your room in the palace will certainly generate some rumors-

Sandeul, who was still tasting the fruit of the vine as an expert taster, decided to go to the point.

-Oh, I just wanted to inform you of my encounter with the lovely couple - He was still commenting on that sly tone that bothered Eric. If he was not necessary, Eric would have already eliminated he, poisoning the grapes that the handler now devoured.

-What have you achieved?, I hope you are disgustingly efficient, for the rude amount of money you asked for-

-Ah! But you can't criticize me, there is no soul on this earth who dares to make a deal with you on your journey of madness love - Eric annoyed with the theatricality hit his feet out of the footstool to accommodate himself.

-So?- Asked already annoyed.

-So... What Eric?- Without leaving the childish tone Sandeul seemed to be having a lot of fun.

-Why the fuck did you make me come here?!- He raised his voice, unable to keep his temper at bay.

-God! we have no need to lose our respect ... Ah well! - He stood straight in his chair, resting his elbows on the arm rests and advancing the upper part of his body, as when someone wants to tell a secret.

-The meeting with the regents did not go completely unnoticed, Mmm...- Paused -To tell you the truth, I think Queen Yongsun has her doubts-

Eric nodded, telling him to continue.

-She is the smart one of the pair, she is the one you should be careful, the other is just a brute beast, like everyone in this place-

-That's where you are wrong - Sandeul corrected him. Eric looked irritated -Not everyone in this place is a brute beast- He clarified the point, not exactly what his interlocutor intended to hear -You didn't let me finish - He said when he saw his confusion -The meeting with the regents was not so easy, but the real problem was the meeting with the construction workers. Remember Eric? I am not an engineer-

-What happened then? - he asked ignoring the sardonic final comment.

-Well I had to stick to the planned, listening to the proposals and shutting up almost completely. I am sure that people doubted my ability, but the solution appeared in front of my eyes after a few seconds of walking in the places where the canal will pass- Eric was listening to him.

-It turns out that not all construction workers are beasts, this country has a strong immigrant invasion of devastated or too poor villages. One of those specific immigrants, with a history ~ very sad ~ with his family ravaged by the current war, his members infected by the black death it brought, cracked by not being able to bring enough sustenance to his relatives and most importantly - Sandeul paused, wetting his lips and standing up from his seat -He is hungry Eric, hungry for money mixed with resentment and delightful knowledge of engineering-
