"Sir, give me and Luca one last chance."
Maximilian turned again. "No. You two are both useless. Get out of my sight."
"If I get what you are looking for and what Luca failed to get, will you give me a second chance?"
"You won't be able to do it. You're just a weak human. Not even a dragon can do that."
"You sound pretty pessimistic for a majestic dragon."
Maximilian turned his head quickly, throwing a death glare at Edna.
"What did you say just now?"
"Nothing," Edna replied with an innocent expression.
She had already crossed the line. Pushing her luck further would make no difference.
"Are you underestimating my judgment?" asked Maximillian, holding back his lips from curling up.
The man believed that the helpless human before him was holding onto the rope of despair. Opposing him only made it worse.
Alright, Maximillian would see what this little human could do. With that tiny, fragile, and easily broken body, he was sure that his servant would give up sooner or later.
