[b][color=#a4161a]"You sure our target will be there? It's well past midnight in eight hours."[/color][/b]

[color=ec008c]"After the commotion? Chances are high that he will be in his command post, coordinating things and making sure he is present at the place where almost all of his wealth is concentrated. If he decided to be careless by monitoring his damaged assets in person one by one, we will know it and our work will be a lot easier." [/color]

[color=#93FFFF]Who do we present the evidence to?”[/color] Now it's Kaito's turn to speak. He brought up too many ifs in his assessment, and honestly, it was a fair skepticism.


[color=ec008c]"We work with Fred. All of our findings will be directly presented to him."[/color]

What Jazdia did not say was what if Fred, for whatever motive and reason found their report unsatisfactory. If that happened, all bets are off for them, and her leverage was not as substantial as it used to be. She hated to admit it, but right now, all she could do was to have good faith in that human king, and that should suffice, for now. 

[color=ec008c]"I will deal with the guild if they are not involved."[/color] said Jazdia. It was an open-ended statement. Her usual answer could also be perceived as her subtle way of saying [i]that should be none of your concern[/i]... Kaito, as someone who basically worked with her, should be familiar with that kind of speech. [color=ec008c]"I feel that your disquietude is quite misplaced. You are an outlaw that tangoes with authorities on a daily basis. If another party goes on the dance floor, I am sure you will manage."[/color] 

[color=ec008c]"I think that will conclude this meeting." [/color]

After some more railleries, Jazdia went upstairs to rest. She had instructed Lucas to show Chounan and Kaito their room if they feel like sleeping and informed Yvonne the number of her room. 

The room was spacious and cozy, lit by four oil lamps that radiates warm light. It had two beds with white sheets and blue-navvy blankets, a large cupboard, and a decorated partition. At the end of the room, close to the door that led to a private bathing chamber, was a long square table with white clean towels. The room was scented with a faint sandalwood aroma, and if one feel the perfume was too overpowering, or just wanted the breeze of fresh air, they can always open the large window situated at the west of the room. 

Jazdia spent fifteen minutes soaking her body in the tub which had its water warmed by her power. Putting on her pajamas and placing the bow and quiver next to her bed, the elf rolled her body onto the bed and slept.
