Asd was not stupid, there was a proverb about not looking a gift horse in the mouth, but Asd was not dumb. He was looking this damn horse in the mouth as many times as possible. He didn't trust the emperor and the deals that was given, it was much too good and way above what he had asked for. And for the bloody Western Albion empire to give him so many boons in return for handing over schematic for the ship and spells from the grimoire. A grimoire that up until now he's not received anything from it. Asd could feel it though, in his mindscape he could feel the grimoire, it was just there silent, waiting, and Asd got the feeling he knew what it was waiting for, he had to finish the task that bloody el had set aside for him, only then could I possibly show him what secrets it holds if at all there was any.
"Alpha…Err Lord Asd?"
