Vanessa closed the front door of the mansion behind her with a soft click.
The quiet of the living room wrapped around her as she let out a long sigh.
Today had been totally exhausting — running errands, talking to her GUILD members, checking in with Rita and a few other people she trusted.
And she had gotten what she wanted, what Lucius had asked the council for and she couldn't have been more shocked.
Lucius had made quite some requests, yes, but not all were for himself. A good amount was directed at Grimmaw, almost like he was investing in the Guild.
'Sigh… will thank you even cut it?' she thought as she leaned back against the wall.
Her eyes closed for a moment, replaying the list of favors he had pulled in.
She hadn't expected someone who had only joined them almost two months ago to give so much… more than even most veterans would dare.
She shook her head, her crimson hair falling forward, and finally pushed herself off the wall.
But she didn't get far.
