"Here is what I owe you," Lawrend said and stopped beside Ember.
She instinctively formed a small bowl with her hands, and Lawrend poured out Earth Mage Fire Mana Stones into it, which promptly disappeared as they entered her storage ring. Lawrend paid everything he owed her with some interest.
"You didn't have to repay me, Master," Ember said with a bewildered expression on her face.
She didn't expect him to pay her so suddenly. She should be happy, but instead, she felt empty. She wanted to pay for his expenses so getting repaid was something she never expected to happen.
Now that he had repaid her, the satisfaction she felt disappeared like smoke.
"I'm your Master," Lawrend replied and didn't elaborate.
He continued onward without looking back. His maids glanced at each other and giggled. It was rare for them to see Lawrend keeping his pride up so obviously.
