Volume 1 - Showers Chapter 62: War Without Gunpowder (2)

One of the small notes that Camille Sindra commissioned Barrett Barbadoro to pass to Anna Wolfe:

Anna, we've spoken to Old Lady Gryne, and we agree that Old Griffin Hart is faking illness. The purpose is to stall for time to get to the bottom of our negotiations, or even to try to buy one of us secretly. The old lady provided a lot of information about Bolt Pence. Bolt Burns is indeed a mind controller, and you must continue to disguise yourself as a witch to intimidate Bolt, or he will not hesitate to probe your thoughts. Mr. Caudore thinks we need to wait for the time being, and yes, he has changed his ways. This time we are defending instead of attacking, war is coming, and in the face of interests, Griffonheart will never be indifferent, so we only need to wear down Griffonheart's patience in turn - just like boiling eagles.

"Madam, it's getting late, why don't you see it here today?" Usain Bolt suggested to Anna.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Pence. I often ignore the flow of time when I read a book, and before I know it, the sky is getting dark! Anna said apologetically.

"You need not be sorry, ma'am, for you should be as relaxed at the Eagle's Nest as you are at home. If you want a change of appetite or something happens to Zanmir, the Eagle's Nest will welcome the family to move. Bolt said tentatively.

"Oh, thank you for your kindness, Mr. Pence, but I think I may be disappointed by your kindness. Zammir is my home, and I am where my husband is. I think that in the near future, Zamir will definitely become more vast, richer and more beautiful. How could Anna not be able to hear Bolt's words, so she couldn't say it too explicitly, so she could only fight back vaguely.

"It seems that you trust the decision-making and abilities of Duke Benwolf." Usain Bolt clearly meant something.

"Yes, Mr. Burns, I maintain trust and loyalty to the Duke, but, I would like to add that I am a wife first and a lord before allegiance to the lord, and loyalty to my husband is second to the lord." Anna had no intention of going back and forth with Bolt, so she said it firmly.

"Well, ma'am, your character is to be praised, but, ma'am, why should we stand at the door of the library and speak? We should go and have dinner, don't you say? Bolt saw that Anna was resolute, so he stopped mentioning these annoying things, and he found a step for himself, even if he had revealed it—he was very good at finding himself a step.

Anna was constantly alert that she was not at home, but in the domain of another lord—and the domain of a lord who was known for profiting from negotiations. Therefore, she had to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, try not to tear her face with the people of the Eagle's Nest, and always maintain the peace on face.

So she said, "That's a great idea, Mr. Pence. Don't know where we're dining tonight? It can't be in the castle of the honorable owner of the Eagle's Nest, right? ”

"Madame, Madame, Madame! Although I would love to invite you and his entourage into the host's castle for dinner, but to be honest, the lord's physical condition is very poor, and the situation really does not allow it! Bolt said to Anna with a sad and regretful expression and tone.

"Well, well, we actually have some important things to discuss with Master Griffinhardt—it's about our survival and interests." Anna said.

"Oh, Miss Anna, I don't think you'll ever see your master, it's a pity. However, I will certainly do my best to entertain you in the Eagle's Nest for a few days before leaving, so that you may enjoy the friendship of the landlords. ”

"That's a pity, it looks like we're going home? Why don't we go back tomorrow? Gonzalez, let's pack our bags tonight! ”

"Oh, madam, it seems that you have to go home, if you want to leave tomorrow, then please be sure to tell me the exact time, and you will see you off." Bolt was cunning and cunning, and he didn't fall for Anna's agitation, so he pretended to be indifferent to the matter, and only watched how Anna took it. Bolt believes that if Anna doesn't handle it well, she will lose the momentum, and the negotiations will go in favor of the griffon's heart.

Anna was speechless for a moment, and she secretly said that it was bad. Anna didn't actually underestimate or despise Bolt, but now it seems that Bolt has become more of a politician than a wizard. So for this situation, Anna did not think about it. In Anna's vision, Bolt obviously knew the purpose of their group, and she didn't know if old Griffinhardt was paralyzed in bed, but the Eagle's Nest would definitely not be without a decision-maker—at this moment when Griffinhardt Jr. went to a royal meeting.

Anna is by no means really leaving, but having said that, Bolt will not keep it, and if she directly regrets it at this time, she will be weaker and lose face, so she urgently needs a step down now. Counting on Bolt to keep it was the next resort, and Bolt would definitely have seen enough of Anna's jokes before he spoke out.

Fortunately, Gonzalez was a shrewd young man, and sensing the embarrassment of his mistress and the look of his begging for help, replied at once, while the atmosphere was not yet stiff: "Madam, as your faithful bodyguard, I have to say that it is not an easy task if you are going to leave to-morrow. I mean, our luggage seems to be a bit much, plus the special products purchased in the Eagle's Nest these days, you are just tired of me, and there is no way to clean it up in one night! Besides, the subordinates thought it best not to leave the Eagle's Nest in such a hurry, and it was clear that the hostess was very pleased with the Eagle's Nest Library's collection, both in terms of quality and quantity. Therefore, my subordinates recommend that you look at it for a few more days before making plans. ”

Anna heard Gonzalez say this and cast an approving look at him. Gonzalez's words helped her, and that was exactly what she wanted. So she had to put on a helpless expression that was difficult to choose, and said: "Hey, Gonzalez, what you said is not unreasonable, I am still very nostalgic for the Eagle's Nest Library, well, let's stay a little longer, I suppose Mr. Pence will not think that our group is too annoying, right?" ”

"How so? Madame, no, really not at all, completely, absolutely, no. As I said earlier, the Eagle's Nest is like home to you, and you are always welcome. ”

"Then I'm going to bother you a little longer."

"It is my pleasure, ma'am. Next, allow me to take you to dinner, and tonight I'm going to take you, Mr. McLagan and Miss Sindra on a traditional campfire dinner in the heart of the griffon, which is mainly about grilled meat, and be sure to try our signature potato corn bisque, which I think you will rave! At the bonfire dinner, we also had some great programs and entertainment. ”

"It's really exciting, Mr. Pence."
