Atlas smiled at this and said, "Thank you, my lady," and smiled gently. When he freed his own hand from Cassandra, he turned to Bhagholir beside him and left nothing behind but the people staring at him.
"You can't be...this dense..." Lyra said aloud, but was quickly silenced by Cassandra.
"My lord, if it is possible, I would like to welcome all these people to your city for a while. I do not have much gold. My fortune consists of over six hundred thousand gold and close to a million silver, but I have hundreds of formulas of my own creation, and I know I can make money. If possible, I would like you to protect them for a while," Atlas said suddenly.
Bhagholir shook his head after these words and said, "Your request is an order for me. I told you, you can do whatever you want in my city, and I will take your request as an order." He then turned to his family and said, "Then you know what to do."
