Claire has a headache. Why does this woman always ask such difficult questions?
But he still replied, "How big do you want, madam?"
"I can do it, let's see how big the Viscount gives me." Sophia said with a smile. In her opinion, teasing Claire is a fun thing.
Claire: "..."
This question is really difficult to answer. If the one given is smaller than Princess Irene, this woman will definitely cause trouble for herself. If the one Heart-shaped Crystals is given is larger than Princess Irene, then if she takes it out, then she will have to hang out in the capital in the future.
"That's right!" Claire suddenly changed the topic. "Shall I invite you to a show tomorrow?"
Sophia knew that Claire was changing the topic, but did not embarrass him and answered, "Okay, what kind of performance is it?"
"You'll know then."
Wendy finished playing the last recorder song, and the melodious melody echoed in the room, as if telling the feeling of longing.
And this is the last scene of the mermaid waiting for her lover on the coast. This music perfectly matches the scene in the story. Claire and Sophia sitting below are even a little moved.
Wendy also took a deep breath. She felt nothing during the performance and felt a little panicked after the performance. Although she was very confident, if Claire felt that the story was not good enough, then it would not be her turn to tell these stories.
"Madam, how do you feel?" Claire turned around and asked.
"It seems that the Viscount is not omnipotent. At least this story is not as good as the one told by this lady. This story is very good and should be popular throughout the kingdom." Sophia commented objectively.
Claire pursed his lips and said, "As long as you like it, please help me when the time comes and help push the flames."
A hint of surprise flashed in Sophia's eyes, and he smiled, "I'm just telling you, why did you suddenly call me to watch the show? It turns out you wanted my help."
Claire did not panic and continued, "If this story spread earlier, the store you opened in Nafu City would also be able to make money faster, wouldn't it?"
"You don't need to tell me about the stakes. I'm still willing to help with this small favor. I also want to see how far your Nafu City can run it."
After saying that, Sophia picked up his bag and stood up, saying, "I'll leave first if I have something else to do. If the Viscount misses me, you can come and find me."
"Madam, walk slowly." Claire stood up.
Sophia glanced at Claire's feet from top to bottom, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile, "If you don't want to send it off, don't stand up. There are not so many polite things between us."
"Hey, hey, I'll see you off!" Claire took two steps forward, then stopped again.
Sophia was amused by his actions, "Okay, just stop here, see you later." After saying that, he put the bag diagonally on his shoulders, twisted his waist and walked out.
"Madam, please slow down, I'll see you off!" Claire stood there and shouted loudly.
"I'll give it to you!"
"Send it to you!"
"You!"
"Ah!"
"Let's go slowly without seeing you off!" Claire waved to Sophia after he went out.
After Sophia left, Wendy dared to step forward and asked carefully, "Who is this lady?"
In her opinion, Claire was already a big shot, yet he was so respectful to her, and the aura she exuded gave her a strong sense of oppression. If Claire hadn't been there, she might have made mistakes due to nervousness when she played.
"A stingy woman who is obsessed with money." Claire complained.
Wendy smiled, knowing that he shouldn't ask about this question, and then asked about himself.
"How does this story go? Are you satisfied?"
Claire nodded slightly, "Very good. Just follow this for the rest of your performance. Just play your own performance and someone will help you later."
Wendy nodded vigorously, "Okay, I will try my best!"
"You are very talented." Claire praised. He took out a small purse containing five hundred Gold Coins from his arms and put it on the table. He continued, "This is your salary for ten months. You just need to tell this story well."
"Oh, by the way, if you have any ideas, you can come to Nafu City and I will arrange a position for you. It is also a profession related to the bard's profession." This was just what Claire said casually. Whether Wendy comes or not, I don't have great expectations. Troubadour is different from Isaac. Even if Wendy doesn't come, I can still find talents to perform musicals elsewhere.
Wendy did not pick up the money bag immediately, but replied, "I will consider it."
"I'll leave first if I have something else to do. This restaurant belongs to the lady just now. You can order whatever you want. It's all free." Claire invited Sophia to the same restaurant where they met two times before.
After Claire left, Wendy sat at a table by the window. After confirming with the waiter next to him several times that it was really free, he dared to pick up the menu.
As soon as she picked up the menu and took a look, she was so frightened that her hand holding the menu shook several times, and she almost lost her grip and dropped it to the ground.
He looked at the menu and then at the money bag Claire gave him. Good guy, each dish here costs at least dozens of Gold Coins. At first, I thought five hundred Gold Coins was a lot, but now it seems that it is not a lot. It seems to be enough for me to have a meal here. Wendy instantly felt the impact of dimensionality reduction on himself from the upper class society.
This is a rare opportunity. Wendy didn't even look at any of the dishes. He turned directly to the last page, pointed to the row with the most expensive prices and said, "Bring me the most expensive dishes in this row!"
The waiter twitched the corner of his mouth a few times and reminded, "Miss, you can't eat the music in this piece."
Wendy: "..."
"Are you leaving? Don't you want to stay for a few more days?"
Shane said goodbye to Claire at the door of Tulip Shop.
"I won't stay much longer. We have negotiated cooperation intentions with those big nobles. They should send their people to Nafu City. I have to go back and control it myself to avoid any problems."
"Okay, have a safe trip, see you later!"
"See you later! I will be here with new products in a few months." Claire waved his hand and rode the Wolf King toward the city gate.
Less than half an hour after Claire left, a stumbling figure rushed into Tulip Shop. It looked like it was coming to cause trouble, and the frightened waiter was even ready to call Team City Guard.
At this time, Shane was still in the store and stopped the waiter who was about to ring the bell. "It's okay, we're acquaintances."
"Huhuhu!" Sirian gasped. At this time, he was much taller than when Claire first saw him. His body was covered with even muscle lines, and his whole aura had changed.
Sirian calmed his breathing and said, "Master Shane, is Lord Claire still there?"
"Just call me Shane, Claire just left not an hour ago."
Sirian turned around in the next second and wanted to push the door open. Fortunately, Shane called out to him in time, "Stop chasing him. Claire has already left the city gate now. His mount is Gale Wolf King, who is known for his speed. You can't catch up."
After listening to Shane's words, Sirian lowered his hand on the door handle and became melancholy.
Shane continued, "He knew that you entered Knight Academy and could only get out once a month, so he didn't wait for you. Hey, it's not time for the Knight Academy to get out of school yet. How did you get out?"
Sirian pursed his lips and replied with some embarrassment, "My subordinates told me the news that Lord Claire came to the capital. I asked the teacher for approval but he refused, and then I ran away."
Shane was stunned and gave a thumbs up, "You are a cruel person. I remember that the last time Knight Academy ran away to find a girlfriend, the dean of their college hung him in front of the school and was whipped for a whole week."
"It would be worth it if you could meet Lord Claire." Sirian said without hesitation.
After finishing speaking, he sighed, "But it's a pity that I didn't meet him... I guess this beating was in vain."
Shane didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Go back, I will help you find some connections, just hang on for a symbolic day."
Sirian thanked him and said, "Thank you very much!"
"You're welcome. Next time Claire comes, I will tell him to wait for you a little longer, and then send someone to inform you, so that it won't take several days for your subordinates to pass on the news."
"Sorry for the trouble, I'll go back first."
"Hey, wait, I don't know how you got into the Knight Academy. Didn't they pass the enrollment time?"
Now it was Sirian's turn to be confused, "Huh? Isn't the woman who arranged for me to go in Lord Claire's friend?"
"What woman?" Shane asked with a frown.
Sirian recalled it and replied, "Her name seems to be Sophia... If there is any problem, I will go back and go through the withdrawal procedures!"
A hint of understanding flashed in Shane's eyes, and he waved his hand, "No problem, she is indeed Claire's friend. You should study hard in the Knight Academy. Not everyone can enter that place."
