Siderius passed the reins to Ashe and jumped down from Red.
Kraus immediately strutted forward and bowed before him. "You have arrived, my lord."
Siderius nodded. "How are the wounded?"
"They have been cared for, my lord. There are no problems."
"Very well. You and Nadia followed me. We have something to talk about."
Siderius, the thug, and the female miner walked into a tent hidden from the eyes and ears of outsiders.
Siderius dropped the small chest on the table. Coins rattled inside. A noise would cause a lot of people to turn their eyes. But Kraus and Nadia weren't one of them. They knew better than that. Coins were simply instruments.
"Sounds like a lot." Nadia glanced at the chest once then said.
Siderius nodded. "From the house of the Bailiff."
Kraus didn't say anything. He already saw it before.
Siderius sat down on the chair and leaned back. "Sit. We need to discuss."
"Alright." Nadia said.
"Yes, my lord." Kraus was much more formal.
