"Seven hundred thousand gold coins," Mr. Clairmond said. "Shall I use your token?" he was looking at the Duke, smiling.
"Yes," Duke Lucas said as he looked at her. "Do you need anything else?"
"No," she immediately shook her head as if her life depended on it. Seven hundred thousand gold coins!?
That is enough to fund a Kingdom!
She glared at him, wondering what he was thinking using this amount of money to buy books— five books, to be more exact.
"Wonderful. Let me process your purchase. Ah… this token is for the Young Miss. You can use it next time you want to have access to our special guest lounge. All future purchases will be twenty percent off. The token doesn't expire and you can use it wherever you are on this continent."
This time, she didn't hesitate and accepted the token. She was certain she could use this in the future.
Once Mr. Clairmond left, a short silence descended between them.
"I will pay you back," she uttered.
"Oh?"
"Not now." But soon.
