Chapter 193: I don’t have to prove myself.

The air tingled with nerves on the edge and tension as some people stepped up one by one, taking an oath on the staff. Alistair had been the first to go, he had taken the oath with a smile on his face. If the short mage was asked to die for Sigrid, he would take the sword personally and plunge it into his own heart.

Only three people did not take the oath in the end, Brent, Taylor and Rudkip.

"What? Are you three scared?" She asked in voice that held the slightest whiff of mockery.

Brent was standing in the middle, he stepped forward to speak on behalf of his friends. "We are former knights that have faced death on a battlefield, swearing an oath of loyalty on your golden staff is not what scares us. We just don’’t know if you are worthy to be our leader. When you came along, this organization had already been formed.

We have been doing a great job of running things without getting caught. You took over forcefully and involved us in struggles that are none of our business."

Sigrid leaned forward, she raised her hand to stop Brolin whose sword was in the midst of being unsheathed. "And what is your business?" she asked curiously.

Brent looked at his friends on by one before turning to Madame Francis. "We sell wine."

Sigrid snorted. "Wine!!"

Taylor nodded, "Yes, we sell wine just as your Thorin family stocks a lot of it. Wine and cheese I believe is what is kept in your cellars and attic. Oh...and coffee....you have the most beautiful glittering coffee I have ever seen."

He was hinting at her that he knew about the gold.

"Oh." Sigrid responded lazily.

The three men shared puzzled looks, they expected her to crack because they were aware of her secret.
