As I came out with bullshit after bullshit to explain the questions that Julia had, which we couldn't answer truthfully, the hours passed by and we enjoyed breakfast with her. Julia had become overly dramatic for a bit, but she calmed down over time. She was constantly saying she was indebted on us though, and that what we did went completely beyond her expectations. She was saying she was readying a good prize for all of us, which would be our pay.
She said our pay had been readjusted from what she wanted to pay us up to three times, as she finally realized how much we were valued. She said that if she didn't invested on us, she would easily lose us to another Duke that could offer more. I tried to convince her that I would never do something like that but she was constantly saying "money talks more than people's emotions sometimes", so I guess she didn't trusted my words that well.
