Negotiating Terms

Mag opened the door, only to find a portly middle-aged butler standing outside. A perplexed look appeared on his face as he asked, "Who are you?"

The man smiled, and replied, "I'm Master Cayrols' butler, Hulton. I'm coming here on behalf of Master Cayrols to ask you whether you've made a decision to come to Rodu with us for His Majesty's birthday banquet in 14 days."

Mag nodded as a slightly apologetic expression appeared on his face, and he replied, "I see. Unfortunately, I haven't discussed this issue with my daughter yet, so I'll have to give Mr. Cayrols a response in a few days. Would you be able to relay that message to Mr. Cayrols for me?"

"Master Cayrols has said that if the Young Mistress would like to come to Rodu, she can also accompany us. We'll be traveling to Rodu on the back of a flying magic beast, and the journey will only take a single day, so it won't be difficult at all," Hulton urged.
