Chapter 43

Lev went out leaving Vladimir with Aretha alone. Aretha still have not recovered from her shocked, and turned to Vladimir. "My Lord, what had just happened?"

"I have not heard anything about you meeting with him during your visit to Minerva's mansion."

"That… because I have not really took notice on that meeting. Other than a simple greeting, there was nothing else I have said to him, thus I do not have recollection about talking with him."

"No matter with whom you met, or how short that conversation might be, I wanted you to inform me everything. For now, do not go out yet. If you wanted to meet anyone, just invited them here, including Minerva."

"Yes, My Lord."

"Why did you came earlier?"

"About the budget, I have mistakenly written an additional digit. That would be too much for me to use."
