Chapter 381: Merchant Guild ? ? ? ? ? (2/2)

The blame will be on her if he dies.

”Don't worry. I already got Aleshia's approval,” Lawrend said to Elena when he noticed her look at Aleshia.

”Sister Aleshia, why??” Elena asked in disbelief.

She never thought that Aleshia herself would approve of it.

”*Cough* I trust in Master and everyone here,” Aleshia replied.

”Everyone?” Nao furrowed her eyebrows.

She was new to this group, so she couldn't understand what was going on. How was she gonna be of help?

”We will help Master as he drains his mana,” Aleshia explained.

”Big Sister, why is Master draining his mana in the first place?” Ella asked curiously.

”I will tell you later in private,” Aleshia said and glanced at Aleshia and Kenova.

When he saw her look at him, Kenova felt awkward. He had the urge to stand up and leave, so they could talk in peace.

”That's all,” Lawrend said.

Everyone's curiosity was piqued. They wanted to know what was going on, and their imaginations ran wild on their own.

Kenova himself was surprised and interested as to why Lawrend would drain his mana. He was 99.99% sure that he was going to kill himself. There was no point in doing it, in his opinion.

…

After Lawrend ate lunch with his maids, he, Humility, Aezel, and Kenova headed to see the city lord.

”Let's go ask the coachman,” Lawrend said.

They rode a carriage in front of the inn and asked the coachman to lead them to the city lord's home.

”Sir, what is your business with the City Lord? You can't just meet him for nothing,” the coachman replied.

He was used to people asking to go to the City Lord's home. Most of them were merchants on the brink of bankruptcy.

Lawrend signaled Kenova with his eyes.

”I'm here under the Third Princess' orders,” Kenova replied.

”T-The Third Princess!?” the coachman exclaimed from outside.

”Shhh! It's a secret,” Kenova shushed him.

The news might get back to the King if the coachman accidentally spreads it.

”I'm sorry. I will hasten my horse,” the coachman replied apologetically.

He whipped his horse and drove it fast through the streets, but not so fast that he couldn't control it.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the very center of the city.

It was a huge Merchant Guild building.

”The merchant guild is the biggest building here?” Lawrend asked the coachman.

”Yes, sir. Trades here are very popular, so the Merchant Guild became the biggest influence. In this city, they can decide your future,” the coachman explained.

”Interesting.”

The carriage stopped in front of the Merchant Guild, and they disembarked from it.

”Master, should I change my clothes?” Humility asked.

She was still wearing her maid uniform.

”That's alright. Kenova will be the star of the show today,” Lawrend replied.

Since Kenova would be the one to replace the City Lord, it will be his job to communicate with the current City Lord.

They were merely his 'friends' at the moment.

They entered the Merchant Guild and greeted the receptionist at the desk.

”How may I help you?” she asked with a customer service smile.
