"So, you think the Celestial Hounds truly stumbled upon it just yesterday?" Eris probes, her voice sharp with doubt as she props her chin on her hand, her eyes narrowing in the secret chamber's golden glow.
"Haha, of course not," Guildmaster Karlogen replies, his laughter a low rumble as he swirls his tea, the liquid catching the light like molten amber.
"Wait, what's that supposed to mean?" I blurt, my brows creasing.
"Well, picture this," Eris says, tilting her teacup with a sly smirk, the steam curling around her lips. "You're strolling along and spot a bag stuffed with a million crowns on the ground. What do you do?"
"Ermm… a bag of money?" I falter. "I guess… report it to the Guild? So they can track down whoever dropped it and give it back?"
"Oh my…" Eris chuckles, her laughter bright and teasing, her eyes sparkling with amusement.
"Oh, Felicia," Guildmaster Karlogen also exclaims, his facial expression same as Eris.
Huh?
What's going on?
I'm so confused now.
