"Hmm?"
Dicus had thought that the deal was as good as settled, only for Mag and Amy to both reject him at once. Furthermore, their voices firm and unyielding, without any intention of negotiating with him.
"I'm inviting my friends over for lunch tomorrow. I already promised them, so no." Amy had been already close to falling asleep, but she immediately snapped wide awake, and shook her head at Dicus with a serious expression.
"Mr. Mag, this is a request made by the city lord himself…" Dicus ignored Amy, and attempted to negotiate with Mag.
"I'm sorry, but I've already promised a lunch party for my daughter and her little friends tomorrow. That's not going to change." Mag shook his head with a smile, and cut Dicus off mid-sentence. He placed his hand gently on top of Amy's head, and wasn't interested in negotiating at all.
