After dinner, Eric ran to catch Mrs. Anne. He grabs her arm and she spin around and look at him.
"Hey old granny! You can lie to them but you cannot lie to me! I know you are the one who did not respect me that time!
Eric never exposed his face as his father's son. No one ever know what the honourable son look like.
"I am very sorry but I do not know you, Sire. Now please, I have work to do." She pull her arm and walk quickly back to the kitchen.
"Dam silver head. I never know he is that kind of person people talk about. Still a jerk after 6 years. huhh" mumbles Mrs. Anne alone.
Three days after
'Tok tok tok' ...(the door opened) , Sire..
Eric lifts his face and look at the door. "Yes, Harry are you here to talk about my bald hair again?" Eric sighing
"Hmm, no sire. Actually a request for a short meeting with you from.."
"Decline. I'm not in the mood to receive any meetings right now. Just tell the person to lea.."
"I am very sorry sir Eric. I am Alice. One of the masters during the expedition in North. I have some important things to discuss with you." Alice stops talking and standing still looking at Eric with her determine eyes hoping for him to accept the request.
"I believe there was nothing important to discuss between 'us' and please, I have much work to do." Eric straightly decline and scribble down the work paper on his desk.
"Can I learn from you, Sire? I regret for being too careless. I want to learn from you sir Eric. There are a lot of things I still need to know for me to be a good leader to others." speaks Alice.
Eric stops writing. He stare at Alice and opens
his mouth again to speak.
"First, I am not a mentor. Second, I am not interested. Third, I have a lot to do and no much time to waste. Go and ask other senior masters to mentor you, and excuse I have a lot of work to do."
Before Harry could take Alice out from the room, Alice shout "I WILL HELP!" I will help to do some part of your tasks. As you know I can read at least four languages. I can actually help to make paperwork. And as return, sir you can help me to build new strategies to be a good leader." begs Alice
"Even if you can read and write, I do not need any translator. As you know I can speak more than '7 languages so' ,.." Eric shows the door to Alice and nods, hoping she will understand. Alice sighs.
"SirE, ThE sPokeSpersOnnn" Harry whispers to Eric. "What?" Eric yells. "The... representativee.." Harry moves her eyebrow and point to Alice.
Alice was just about to step outside, suddenly..
"A representative. In conditions. I need to recruit any person that I find meets the requirements as Kingdom of Leynan's representative. It does not matter if it is a master or a peasant. As long as the person can speak." Eric stops from talking.
"You are appointing me as a representative, and in return, you will help me? Is that what you mean by your statements sire?.." Alice wonder
