~ Genoa ~

Calista pouted when I told her that I need to talk to Aldus first, but there were several things I needed to discuss with him before I engage in gossipy-like chats with Calista.

She calmed down when I promised that we will talk after dinner in my room, and we will not stop until she is satisfied.

Aldus and I went to Aldus's study.

"I assume that Marius told you how a werewolf is working for Duke.", I went straight to the point.

Aldus nodded in confirmation. "It's not unusual for creatures to work for humans. If they live in this realm, money is necessary."

I remembered that Sergio was afraid of Aldus. "Do you know Sergio?"

"Sergio is not an unusual name, but a name doesn't mean much. Creatures tend to change their name and appearance in order to conceal their long lifespans."
