Beatrice walked out of the house. She took out a cigarette and lit it.
"Want some?" Beatrice handed him the aluminum case.
Richard shook his head. "Not interested."
"So? What is your answer?" Beatrice said.
"We'll think about it. A mutual beneficial relationship doesn't sound too bad. But I don't know if we really need it. The vampires and the necromancers are duking it out in Luandon. But we don't care about that territory no more. It was simply just dangerous now."
"The Princes you mean? Doesn't matter what you want. They would find you if they want to."
"Is that what you saw in the future, witch?"
"Mmm." Beatrice hummed but didn't answer. She squinted her eyes at the carriage rolling into the ranch.
She spotted Leah and Dorothy there with some stranger.
"Sigh." Beatrice blew out a smoke. "Those two girls are troublesome. I just left them for an hour and they already found a boy."
"Young kids. They are at the age to dream." Richard said.
