"Have a seat, Master Alice" whispers Harry. Alice walks through the sofa and seat. She hold her hands and just look at Eric.
"Yes, a representative. If you agree, from now on you will work under me, Eric Elias. Two weeks of supervise your work and if you are qualified, I will teach you the strategies. Once you start, you have your rights to quit. But I will not entertain your request to learn again. Harry please, " Eric calls Harry, thus, he nods to Eric's order.
"This way master Alice, I will give everything related to your new job and you must study it before tomorrow meeting with sir Eric." Alice nods and went out from the room.
Eric stops scribble and think about the jobs he has now are more tougher than before. He just sigh, take a deep breath and continues scribbling.
Alice walks back to her private dorm. All the books that Harry gave her, she reads thoroughly. Alice jot down important notes that she must remember, there are about 20 books all of it. Until at midnight, Alice just manage to finish 10 books before going to sleep. It is true Alice made a mistake, but it is never too late to learn from the mistakes, Alice sets her mind, so she will not give up from being the sword master.
The next day at 7 in the morning.
"Woah you early today master Alice. Sir Eric just about to eat breakfast can you wait here until he arrives?, asks Harry
" Well, of course, I will be getting ready once he arrives! " Alice give a morning smile to Harry. He feels fluttered. She brighten up her mood to learn something new.
Eric Elias arrives after 30 minutes, once he steps his foot into the room, he asks Alice "How old are you?"
"I am 36 years old, sire." answers Alice.
"Don't you think you are too old to learn all of this things? Besides you can actually refuse to take the responsibility of being a master. You can continue to be a personal bodyguard."
"Yes, sire." Alice only answer with simple words.
"Ehemm today we are going to meet the ministers Kingdom of Ciyas. We will be leaving in 10 minutes, sire. The meeting will be held at the Grand Hall. I have prepared your carriage" Harry explains.
"We are leaving now. There are a lot of unsettled businesses with them." orders Eric
"As you wish sire".
In the carriage,
"You dress with the proper dress code, Master Alice. Congratulations! You followed the very first rule of being a representative for our country. I think you will pass to work under Sir Eric in this situation!" Harry happily compliments Alice for her attitude of following the rules.
" It is up to me to approve her or not. Not you, Lancelot. " Eric glances to Harry and look outside of the carriage window with his cross arm.
Alice just smile to Harry and they stay silent until arrives at the Grand Hall.
"The arrival of Sir Eric of the Southern Perk and his representative, Master Alice." announced by one of knights at the Grand Hall.
All eyes are stunned to Alice.
"A woman?" "Woman as country's representative?" "This is so absurd, is sir Eric in his right mind to appoint a woman?!"
Alice heard every words from the ministers and politicians who present that day. But she controls her expression by putting a very formal smile and a neat glance at that time.
This is just what she expected after Harry explained yesterday about a 'woman' as a representative.
