"Sir, welcome back."
Fire Dance and Shuili, the two maids, bowed slightly with smiles at the corners of their mouths.
"Good evening, Fire Dance, Shuili." David greeted them with a smile.
Then there was Ye Zi, Lingnai, Melissa, and Sofia.
The three witches had only met David once before, and this was their first true meeting.
The three witches approached David, lifted their skirts, and curtsied, "Thank you, Lord Duke, for saving us."
"Please, it's no trouble." David replied gently, "As a fellow wizard, I have a responsibility to protect you.
"Moreover, I need your abilities and wisdom to stand against the Church together and build a holy mountain for wizards."
"Your recognition is our honor."
Lingnai's eyes glimmered with a strange light in the candlelight, "We are willing to use our knowledge and power to establish a holy mountain for wizards."
Melissa added with a smile, "Yes, Lord Duke, we are happy to assist whenever needed."
