章 236: Meeting Rhyner Trighton

"But I arrived here first and have been waiting without having been told why I'm here?" Claud stated with a questioning glance.

"I see… But it's not me who decides that, nor the lead assistant. It's Rhyner. I'm just following orders…" Jarrit sighed as he held up a small scroll, the same sort of paper that the hawk had given to both Hurman and Reginol. "If you have a complaint, you'll either have to storm into his study or wait for him to call you in and state your case. Arguing with me won't help either of us."

"That's true, I suppose." Glancing over the note written on Jarrit's scroll, Claud turned his back to the study doors and resumed his seat. "We may as well use this time to get caught up on each other's workloads. Don't you think?"

"I suppose that would be the best use of this time," agreed Reginol. He sat down as Claud activated the formation on one of his rings, creating a silenced barrier just big enough for the two of them.
