"Heh-heh."

 

Emma was snickering in the corridor by her guest bedroom door.

Ever since she discovered this Regional Chat function, she would occasionally join in the chat to mess around.

However, her smile soon died out, and her expression turned blank as she stared ahead into the corridor.

Over at the second door to the right, Catherine was exiting her room, decked out in Caspian's trousers and Sweater.

She had been lent some of Caspian's clothes since, unlike Emma, she wasn't a resident of the building and couldn't get her things in time.

Catherine didn't notice Emma was right behind her as she began heading for the living room to meet Caspian.

'The enemy.'

'It would be so easy, right ?'

'A quick stab. Or one of our many recipes in her dinner.'

.....

'No!. Caspian will get angry at Emma.'

'And he might end up resenting Emma.'

...….

'But Caspian loves Emma .'

...

'Is Emma really sure about that ?'

'He has been with the enemy, but has he been with Emma ?'

He doesn't even remember Emma.

...….

'No!. Caspian loves Emma.

'He has to!'

'He has to!'

'He has to!'

'He has to!'

'He has to!'

'He has to!'

"HE HAS TO!" Emma blurted out in the corridor, drawing Catherine's attention, who was halfway through.

"Ah. Emma. Did you say something?" Catherine turned and asked Emma, who looked to be in a daze by her door.

As if jolted out of a trance. Emma soon wore her signature bright smile.

"No. must have been the wind." Emma muttered, then hopped alongside Catherine to meet Caspian.

—----------------

"Phew!"

"How long was I in there for ?" Caspian murmured as he checked his wrist watch.

"Just five seconds had gone by ?. "

"With all the thinking and playing around I did in there, it should be at least three hours."

"So, time flows differently in there. Nice. Will definitely come in handy very soon."

Caspian had spent some time in his mindspace drafting and dispersing multiple contracts just to see how exactly the prices are determined.

From what he had figured out. Contracts that lean more heavily to the 'Miner's' side are usually more expensive. 

He could print contracts of any kind. However, he wasn't able to bring the price any lower than 100,000gc.

Even for the most simplistic contract. He needs a minimum of 100,000gc to print.

"Guess that's some sort of baseline," Caspian muttered.

Just then. He noticed the girls heading his way.

Catherine was wearing his black sweater and trousers, and Emma had on blue shorts and a yellow hoodie.

"Good. It's good you both have come."

"Catherine. Using your talent. I want you to look into some people for me." Caspian said, staring at Catherine.

"Sure, Caspian. I'll do my best." Catherine was happy her talents were about to be put to use.

"They are— One—The Albus's—Their entire family."

"Two—— Someone with the Alias—— Madame Rogue."

"Three.----Major General Kane. Commander of Newhaven 54th Battalion Army."

"And finally-- Rebecca Blackwood."

"You got all that ?"

"Yeah. I got it." Catherine responded earnestly. Her Quickmind Talent on full drive.

The name Albus was very familiar to her. One of the most powerful families in the country.

However, this young man before her was himself a Shade.

A name that was once on equal footing with Albus.

So, she understands this matter must be personal to Caspian. And is to be treated with the utmost sincerity.

"And Emma. You just keep an eye out on the outside through the window for any danger."

"Sir. Yes, sir." Emma uttered cheekily.

"There's enough food in the kitchen, help yourselves."

"I haven't had a good nap in a while." 

'More like thirty days.'

"So. I gotta hit the hay.---- wake me only if there's an emergency."

Caspian finished saying as he walked off into his master bedroom and jumped onto the mattress.

And so it was. 

While the world burned. 

Caspian Shade Slept.
