Siderius tilted his head slightly. His gaze fell upon Nadia and the wrinkled brow on top of her eyes. There was something bothering her and Siderius was able to see it.
He then continued.
"Ashe Costeau is my apprentice. I am appointing her to be Lady Chatelaine of the castle. She is the second in command in Santa Roberto and can overwrite orders of any other titles.
Except me, of course."
The five officials bowed their heads and spoke in unison.
"We are at your service, Lady Chatelaine."
Ashe nodded. "Please lift your head up everyone. I will be counting on your services in the future."
Siderius flicked his hands, dismissing everyone. "All of you can leave now. Except for Nadia. I need to talk to you about something."
"Yes, my lord!" Everyone left, including Ashe.
The spacious office was filled with silence. Siderius leaned back and scanned Nadia from head to toe. He pointed to the chair in front of him.
"Please sit, Nadia."
"Thank you, my lord!" Nadia nodded.
