An Offer to Get the Formula
Arthur stated all his requirements, asking for extravagant things for the potions, using the huge number required for his own gains. The mages looked in doubt towards him, and he simply pointed to the fluid in the cauldron before adding:
"How do you think this fluid came from? I made it with my own stuff, but I have only a few amounts of each ingredient that's enough to make two hundred more potions only. also inform him to make the use of other mages here, as we have a very short time under our hand."
His words fell at the moment when Cesile came back. She heard all of his words, and with a single glance she noticed the difference between the potion he gave to her and the ones he was currently making right now.
She just stayed silent, not saying a word, while her eyes showed her admiration for him, as he didn't let this single opportunity slip off his hands without gaining a portion of this sweet cake, a big portion indeed.
