Chương 390: Chapter 390: Vengeance

"I haven't interrupted you from something, have I?"

Lillie muffled a yawn with her palm and shook her head. "No, no. I was just reading to kill time. Took a nap instead, though." 

"We should probably start now so we could finish quickly. Then you can have more time to rest."

"Hm, good idea." She stood up and stretched her arms. 

Telling the servants to prepare tea and snacks, she and Elliot relocated to her office—Storm pattering closely between them.

The refreshments arrived a couple of minutes after they entered her office. Elliot already started his verbal report by then.

Lillie was reading some documents while she listens to him, with the occasional intervals to sip on her tea and chew on a small pastry. 

"How's your check-up?" Elliot asked after they concluded the matters concerning the Empire. He sighed in delight when the delicious warm tea moistened his throat.
