Lucas and Emiliya were sitting together, and Lucas had a strange expression on his face; he looked somewhat troubled. Lucas then asks Emiliya...
-So, my lady, could you tell me why you asked me to buy this place? An abandoned stretch of land. Poor soil. No trade routes. No historical value."-Do you usually spend that much money on mistakes?
Emiliya met his gaze.
The last time I met Lucas, I asked him to buy Gramera. Gramera is a place it is located near the Duchy of Dehearth. where there is a mine of mana crystals. in the novel vinass found the maine when she visit the deheart duchy.
-I don't believe it's a mistake
His fingers tapped once against the armrest.
-Then enlighten me.Because according to everything my guild knows_ That land is worthless.
She expected that. she had prepared for that
-Information can be incomplete.
The air shifted slightly. Not magic—attention.
-Careful, That land has been surveyed. Twice.If there were anything hidden there, my people would know.
She smiled. Small. Controlled.
-Your people know what exists now.
Silence.
lucas studied her more closely this time—not as a client, but as a variable.
-You're suggesting something will appear later.
-I'm suggesting it already exists.
He leaned forward.
-Then why hasn't anyone sensed it?No mana fluctuations. No residual traces. Nothing.
Her fingers tightened briefly around the letter.
-Because some things don't reveal themselves until they're claimed
That did it.
Pfff
lucas laughed quietly—once.
-You speak like someone who's read the ending of the story.
Emiliya didn't deny it.
-I just know where to look.
Another long pause.
-Very well. I won't pry further.
He smiled again, sharper this time.
-But if that land turns out to be more than dead earth…. .The Information Guild will want to renegotiate its fees.
Emiliya folded the letter neatly.
-Of course.
She turned to leave.
Just before she reached the door—
-Lady ___.
She stopped.
-If you're wrong, you lose gold.""If you're right…
His voice dropped.
-…you'll change the balance of mana in this region.
She didn't look back.
-Then it's good I bought it first.
Lucas stop her one more time.
-my lady.
This time she turn.
-Don't worry, Lucas, we'll go together to pick up your sister. see you soon.
And then she left from there.
