Stranger

Khleis agreed to work under Anne. They both signed some documents and before returning back he asked her to have some tea with him.

"I never thought that a lady from a nobel household will actually be interested into business related stuff. ", he said as he took a sip from his cup.

In Hetrem, people were still prejudice over the gender related stuff. A nobel woman running a business was a rare sight. Anne smiled when he heard those words uttered by him. " Female or male, it would not matter when you are hungry. Everyone needs money to keep themselves from starving due to hunger. Some cling to another person for it while some becomes that another person in their life. Living all these years under someone's shadow, I am too tired. Now, I want to make my own identity. Why need a Prince Charming , when you can be the prince of your own life? "

He was pleased with her answer, and nodded his head showing that he agrees to her statement.

He paused for a moment and then said, " Come to think of it, I am the only wizard who is out of the Tower now. So if I had rejected you, you had to wait for a week or two. "

' All the wizards? Christiano also told me that he has some important matter, though he did not mention the Tower. ' She put the cup on the table and asked him in a serious tone, " What is the matter with the Tower? Why is every wizard there now? "

"Hmmm.. The master of the Tower died few days ago. Now that he is dead, a new master will be elected. For that reason every wizard is busy now. "

"Then are you not a wizard? ", she asked mockingly.

He flinched at her words. He coughed a bit and looking at a different direction said, " I do not like going there. And its not that I would be elected or something like that if I go there . Hmphh. "

"What is this hmphh? " She started laughing out loud.

"Hey don't laugh!"

After having a nice conversation, when she was on the way to her carriage with Alex, she saw a poor child begging on the road. She went over to him and asked Alex to buy some food from the nearby restaurant. When she was giving that food to him, a young gentle man from her behind asked him, " You seemed to be quite rich. Why are you giving him food instead of money? "

She turned around. The man who was then standing in front of her was having a pale complexion . His eyes were amber in colour and his hair was rose blonde. By his appearance, he was like a porcelain doll who was in his 20s . It was first time for her seeing a male who was prettier than her . [ Daddy Alfred now be like : Am I a lost handsome father?（┬┬＿┬┬）]

So for a second she went completely blank.

He leaned forward and asked her,"Hellow.. miss, are you alright? "

She coughed a bit and said, " Yes, yes. I am fine." She then told him that she gave him food instead of money because it was very dangerous to give money to a young beggar. If other beggars found that he had a lot of money, they would have snatched it from him and even beat him. It was a common scenario that happens all times for them.

That man did not know things like this actually happens in the kingdom of Frostia. He was amazed by her knowledge. " You know a lot of things. Well now I have to return back. See you next time. "

As he started walking, she called him from back,

" Hey! What do you mean by next time? "

He did not turn back but just waved his hands and said, " You never know. "

" Huh? What a strange man. Let's go Sir Alex, it quite late now. " After that both of then returned back to the castle of Frostwood.
