"Aya… No matter how many times you ask, my answer will still remain the same."
"Come back later and don't waste my time."
A slightly stout middle-aged dwarf twirled his mustache and answered Kosa.
The father and the daughter pair had gotten ready early in the morning to visit a few smithies in the city.
But unfortunately, this was an off season.
The blacksmithing apprentice tests were typically held at the beginning of every lunar cycle (4 months).
So they would have to wait for another 12 to 14 weeks.
This was not really that big a deal, but Kosa still wanted to try his best and somehow get an apprentice position as soon as possible.
He was worried that once Byron recovers from the loss of his son, he would use underhanded methods to target his daughter and force him to marry her off to one of his other sons.
Before such a thing happens, Kosa wanted to make sure that his daughter was completely untouchable.
