"Are you sure of this?" Lara had to ask, "my city may look grandiose, but it indeed lacks tons of things. If you promise the king's and kingdom's support, then…"
"Any strong place in the kingdom is a gem in the eyes of the king," Sloth stressed over this point, "with or without that underground city, your place would have gained total support from the king."
"Then… What will we get back from this deal then?!!!" Lara went speechless for a long minute before asking in much confusion. And all she got was a loud laugh from Sloth.
"Welcome to the world of monarchs, Miss Lara, hahahaha," Sloth only said amidst his laughs, and sadly Lara didn't get what he meant by his words and thought he was just teasing her or something.
"Fine, we agree," she took the offer quite seriously and agreed right on the spot, "but… I won't be handling the city for a long time. I plan to go with William and train. So you'll have to make this deal with someone else."
