Elke's parents looked at each other, finding the kind of deals Lothur wanted to make unusual.
It was not common in this world to make deals like that. Usually, what happened was that one side sold the product and the other side got all the rights to it.
Because of this difference, both sides were surprised that Lothur had not asked for a large sum for the design of his special glove.
Lothur realized the problem and said. "It is complicated to assess the fair price of my glove. And in a way, whatever amount House Becker or any other power is willing to pay, I will lose a lot on that."
"So, I'd rather get nothing now but a slice each month of whatever you guys earn for that time interval."
"That way, I don't lose out on this deal, and neither does your family." He smiled. "After all, you will only have to pay me the share of the profits. So, even if the glove is a failure, your family won't lose anything."
