my allies

We both settled on our seats as the waiter served tea and snacks.

"Mari, why did you call me so urgently?" he asked again and I sighed.

"Dami, I need your help," I asked and he chuckled.

"That I know, otherwise you would not have called me this stealthily, but we had just met yesterday night, that's why I am worried by your sudden invitation." his worry brought a smile on my lips. 

"As you know I had started taking control of the duchess duties, and I am also trying to get my parental properties to start a business. I need a few trusted people who are good in law and business." I replied and he nodded.

"I thought there is plenty to work with you, your place is the hub of administration, even the royal palace could not compare to it, in that. The best brains are there only." That's the dilemma I wanted to tell him.
