"Is this month's salary being disbursed?" Hood asked in astonishment.
"Yes, it's almost the end of the month," Aske said.
Having just settled the mission payment with the Duke of Carinthia, he then distributed this month's earnings to everyone—Eleanor was dragged away by her brother, so her share would be given later.
"That's right," Hood hesitated for a long while before finally speaking, "Just now, Viscount Gotting, Eleanor's brother, was here."
"Oh," Aske responded.
"He wants to recruit me as a craftsman for the Weisbach family, offering me four pounds per month," Hood said.
"What's your opinion?" Aske asked.
"I accepted," Hood admitted guiltily.
"You traitor!" Mia immediately jumped up, but was pushed down by the hand of Aske who spun her around.
"I'll get you for this!" she turned around, fuming, but Aske pressed down on her shoulder and spun her back again.
"I remember your dream, Hood, to build a set of Power Armor of your own, right?" Nora inquired.
