''Thank you, Adventurers, we were able to avoid disaster, truly thank you.'' The Duke said after taking back the plate, Sam (Alex) was keeping safe for Clemens.
''No need for thanks. Us adventurers prefer rewards over a thank you.'' Sam said to the Duke.
Someone was not pleased with Sam's blunt words, and when she was about to step forward to speak, the Duke stopped her with his arm.
''Hahaha! Indeed, adventurers are such a being. My bad, here is your reward, take it this bag it contains 500 Gold Coins.''
The Duke tossed at Sam the bag; catching it, he smiled and said.
''As expected of the Duke, so generous. We shall take our leave, and don't worry; we are sensible people.''
Accompanied by Mio and Elsa, Sam left. Just as he passed the Duke, the latter smiled.
''You are an interesting young man.''
Sam (Alex) smiled but said nothing and left.
