Chapter 45: NAME YOUR PRICE

"W-WHY are you glaring at me, Yvo?"

Oh, was he?

Yvo didn't notice that he was glaring at Lord Joaquin Davies while they were having tea at the professor's private office in the Academy. "I don't know what you're talking about, Lord Davies."

"You can address me as 'uncle,'" Lord Davies whined. "My office is safe since it's protected by a barrier that I made myself. Moreover, I summoned you here as my nephew and not as a student of the Academy."

"Did something happen?"

His uncle flinched. "Yvo, be honest with me. Did I summon you at a bad time?"

Since the lord wanted him to be honest, he nodded. "I was supposed to have lunch with Noonim."

Well, Xavier Lagun was there, too.

But it was easy to ignore other people as long as he was with Gypsy.
