Meeting The Array King

As Liza expected. The moment she saw the group of elders gathering around and got closer to them, she started to hear comments about refusing the offer already.

"A newbie asking for such an extravagant salary? That's unheard of!"

"Salary?!!" Liza's worst expectations came true. Zefro played and changed some context to frame Aroon.

"He is already a knight. He should show some dignity and not beg for money like this!"

"Beg?!!" Again she was shocked to the degree she screamed in rage even before reaching them. "What the hell are you talking about?"

"L… Liza!!" Zefro's face was covered with his iron mask but his tone told Liza he did what she thought of.

"I sent you to deliver a message, not to change it!" she said in an angry tone while totally ignoring him.

"I delivered what you said," Zefro said in defense, "I didn't change anything."
