Chapter 60 – Her Blatant Ignorance (2)
Ruth thu in vain to quell his agitation, knoell he was speaking to the lady of the house But his emotions couldn’t be pacified with her preposterous plans Even so, he explained as calmly as he could
“Glass is not practical at all Insulation of glass is extre with the s open Moreover, knights often train in the backyard and it will be only a matter of ti swords Another thing, it scratches easily so it’ll be challenging tothem and soon, you’ll be short-handed”
When he picked the points Max had never thought of, she quietened even further He looked through to the very last bill and only then did his face softened a little It was unknown if it was the realization of his brusqueness up until now or thewords had a hint of softness
“Fortunately, not everything has been ordered Why don’t we agree to change the s of the lass, and the relass or have double covering for insulation? It’ll be very useful in the winter if you add an outer door and have theh to show off your wealth to the guests without burning a hole in your pocket”
He pulled out a new piece of parchment paper and drew a blueprint of the castle as he explained Max blankly looked at the drawing and nodded
“A-all r-right I-I’ll t-tell him th-that”
“The crystal fountain is not worth anything”
He tossed the parchment paper in his other hand over his shoulders and dipped the quill into the inkwell as he set a new piece of paper in front of her
“Let’s get rid of the garish ones and one by one note down those absolutely necessary,” he said, see the reins in his hand
A nonplussed Max si hier for her, but here he was just enlisting things and handing over the vital aspect to her She certainly didn’t want a rerun of the rebuking session!
“W-what if I-I ain…” She tried to hint that hecare of this in the future I’ll guide you in the right direction, so don’t worry” He had made his stand crystal clear
She looked down at the ledger, feeling lost Her head was as blank as the paper in front of her Panicking, Max sifted through the bills and searched for so to write She tried to calm herself and looked for the oldest purchase record and wrote down the items purchased and the details with it She followed it with the nues and contract period, and then… things began to get coe in work
Max scrunched nu down numbers as sweat laced her temples How much was each currency worth? How should I calculate? </ehtly clenched the quill as if to squeeze out the answers
Upon noticing how flustered a er had made her, Ruth furrowed his brows He see on in her mind, but he still opened his mouth in order not to assume
“Just to be sure, you do know the currency units, right?”
“I-I k-know the within at the possibility of her secret being discovered However, the wizard looked at her narroith suspicion Under the intense scrutiny she was being subjected to, Max held her breath and ed to add…
“I-I’m just… I ne-never u-used mo-money before, I…”
Without another beat, Ruth launched a question “How much is 60 lirams in soldems?”
“I-I, uhtened all of her ten fingers and blurted out an answer she fervently hoped was right But at his resulting glare, she quickly took her answer back
“Thr-three!”
“How et from 24 denars in soldems?”
