"You asked for pastries?" Magda asked for the second time in a row. After they talked about their plan for the tide, they asked Rosalind to leave the room, as they still needed to discuss other things. When she left, Magda was already waiting for her outside.
"Yes."
"Pastries?"
"Are you deaf?" Rosalind asked.
"Why?"
"That's what I need."
"You could have asked for gold."
"Right."
"I was serious. They saw your skill and were willing to pay you, but you actually asked for something like that? Why not gold?"
"I don't need gold."
"But— I am certain that the future Duchess of the Wugari Kingdom would not need gold."
Rosalind nodded at that. She could earn gold using other ways. The two of them then rode a carriage towards the tower so she could prepare for her dinner with the King and Queen.
"You are coming with me, right?"
"Yes," Magda said. "I was tasked with being around you all the time."
Rosalind nodded.
"Can you really do that?" Magda asked.
