"I want both, but first, take a look at this."
Teresa pulled out a piece of parchment.
Veronica took the parchment.
The parchment was a letter from Teresa's mother, Aurora, to Teresa. The letter agreed to Teresa's request for further strengthening cooperation with Laine. It mentioned the issue of Teresa's Wizard Tower, and Aurora indicated she could provide eight thousand Gold Marks (also known as eight thousand Gold Crowns) for her daughter's Wizard Tower construction, with the rest of the money needing to be raised by Teresa herself.
The letter also mentioned another issue, which was about Veronica entering the Inner Ring Elder Council. Aurora did not wish for Veronica to join the Elder Council, but due to Laine's prominence, Aurora indicated that Veronica's hope was substantial.
