Returning To The Rank 7 Castle

Riveting Night and Zaine reached Madam Carrie's office, where they saw the older woman lounging around while sipping tea idly. She was clearly taking a break, as working every hour of the day would just be counterproductive.  

Madam Carrie seemed surprised by their visit, but didn't fail to treat them with the necessary courtesies. She even prepared some beverages for them herself, while muttering about the distinct absence of her aide.  

"I hope you were satisfied with the outcome of your item's auction, Mrs. Night." Madam Carrie asked genially.  

Riveting Night nodded. "I am. The final price for them was far above what we had envisioned."  

Madam Carrie laughed happily. "I am pleased to hear that. Should you have excess Aether Crystals in the future, please make sure to inform us beforehand. Had we shared the rumors of their appearance you might have benefitted even more."
