Emergency

"This is what I wanted to talk to you about. If you agree, I will begin working on it from today," I said to Leonard, who was looking in utter shock.

He was not this shocked when I had handed him the art for study and told him my plan to not only make him practice the art but also make it merge with his constitution. 

This thing is very important to him, and he never had likely thought he would get such a wonderful opportunity.

"I have no words, my lord, but I would try my all to become worthy of the opportunity you have bestowed upon me," he said after some time, basically agreeing to be part of another of my ambitious project.

"Good. Since you have agreed, I will begin preparation, and you, too, keep working hard. If nothing went wrong, it would be ready within two to three months," I said.
