☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Relax, it happened involuntarily, - Amamius didn't hear Erefir's thoughts, but he understood her reaction from her gaze, - but I'll keep it in mind for the future, it won't happen again. As for the money, I still don't understand. When I joined you, the contract only specified a monthly salary, right? Plus bonuses at the employer's discretion. So, I would wait and see, and instead, submit a request to award Carneolus for the completed work, but it's better to specify what you expect, but don't be too demanding.

To be honest, after the last unexpected turn of events, the girl didn't know whether to believe this innocent misunderstanding in his eyes or not, but she decided that trust was infinitely better in this case. She lowered her gaze to the floor.

-- O... Okay, let's forget about it... I was going to do something similar to what you said, but I won't write down any expectations, as the Suzerain has never treated us unfairly and obviously won't. And in general, this bonus scheme was left over from the previous leader; I don't know if it needs to be revised. It seems to motivate people to take on dangerous missions and provides feedback from Her Majesty on how well the work meets expectations, right? But on the other hand, there is some uncertainty. Especially if the empire's enemies suddenly run out.

-- In addition, I need to separately note that the budget for our training was quite large, so I have nothing to complain about; it's just that the books, artifacts, and knowledge received cannot be directly converted into money, and that's all there is to it.

-- Thank you for your concern. And also, I told you this in my thoughts, but the information seems to have been lost, so it would be fair to repeat it, even if it's out of context.

-- I'm getting to the point, -- she whispered in his ear.

Since the girl should still have some mystery, and Phyr is still worried about her problems, she tries to continue on her way.
