"I know what you really need," I said

"Huh? what do you mean?" Azael asked

Azael's guild is the most famous guild in the empire. However, the crown prince, Apollo was not happy about it. If the guild becomes stronger, the empire can't make a fuss. So, he made some bad rumors about them. And that's why a lot of nobles step back, and the guild is struggling.

"I'll give you authority for my mine"

"What? that ancient mine? are you crazy?"

"I am crazy, did you just know that?"

"Yeah you're right, but you sure about this?"

"I'll give you 30% of it"

"That much? and what will we do with it?"

"Sell it, duh"

"But how? we can't just sell a huge diamond"

"Are you stupid? sell it to jewellers"

"And you want us to decide for the price?"

"Yes, finally you understand"

"Hey, I'm not that dumb, but you're strange"

"Pardon me?"

"You know this place, and all of the sudden you trust me"

"I know this place for a long time, and for the other one"

"What? I'm your old enemy, how can you just trust me?"

He's right, it's weird that I'm here. Especially Camelia, she's a homie. She barely goes out, except for training and going to the market. And it's weird that you can trust your enemy that easy. I'll have to think for another excuse.

"Let me ask you something, have you ever seek for revenge for me?"

"No, why would I ?"

"That's right, an enemy is someone who seeks for revenge, but you're different"

"And what am I to you?"

"You're just a person who envy me, you just wanted to be better than I am, am I right"

he grinned

"I didn't know you're that smart"

"Hmm, I'm flattered, so then you'll agree with me?"

"But, what do you want in return? I don't know what to give"

"Prepare me a training ground"

"You're doing swordsmanship again? how about the duke?"

"Let him be, this is my life and future anyway, no one can stop me"

"Heh, you're as confident as always"

"Will you do it?"

"Rest assured, me and my subordinates will do our best"

"Thank you, I'll go then"

"See you next saturday"

"Okay"

The first plan is a success, I'm happy about it. I think I should go home now, I'm kinda tired. And also it's been a long day for me.

"Oh yeah I wanted to ask you something" I asked Damian

"What is it?"

"Tell me about your old master"
