Lawrend rode the carriage with a face full of smiles. Aezel noticed it and smiled at him.
"Fufufufu. You're rich now, Master," Aezel said.
"Hehehehe. I have to thank Nao for that," Lawrend replied and wrapped his arms around Nao's shoulder.
"It's nothing, Master," Nao replied with a slightly pained face.
Lawrend turned his head to her and realized what she was thinking.
"Don't worry. You get half of the money. Even though I gave you your talent, even though I helped you make those potions, and even though I provided the initial money to buy the materials for the potions, you still deserve half of it for your efforts," Lawrend said to her with a warm smile on his face.
"Master, that's not how you say it," Aezel said with a frown on her face.
"Eh?"
"Master… I'm sorry I'm not good enough…" Nao said despondently.
"Wait–! Why are you crying?" Lawrend panicked.
