Bab 257: And that concludes this godforsaken meeting  

Alisa sighed as well and came in front of me, again. "Forgive me for my rude performance earlier my lord." She bowed on her knees.  Well, that was new: apparently, a lot of things were new today. "We were merely testing you. And what my lord said, were all tests as well. Of course, he means to lend you a hand and it is true he is seeking the weapons but even he knows he cannot just claim your treasures without your permission." She was basically saying the same stuff just with a lot more politeness. Well, she certainly would've won me over with that. "And we haven't received any missions to dethrone you either. My lord is terrible with lies."

And she also saved the butt of the earl. Clever. 

It was a problem because of my stupidity in the first place though. So yeah, in a sense, she was just covering for me.
