Running a hand through his hair, Logan smiled wryly as he shook his head.
"Alright," he said, locking eyes with Livia. "What's the good news?"
Livia looked at him in surprise, not expecting him to take the news so well.
"Aren't you angry at me?" she asked, her eyes wide open. "This is all my fault, after all."
"Angry? No," Logan said, shaking his head. "Annoyed at the situation? Definitely."
"I'm not worried about the Alvarez family, even if they are supported by the Holy Cross Guild," he continued, smiling confidently.
Livia stared at him, too shocked to speak.
'Why is he so calm about this?' she thought, her mind blank. 'This should be a huge problem for his recovering company.'
"So," Logan broke the silence. "Are you going to tell me the good news or not?"
Livia quickly nodded, exhaling sharply.
"The Imperial Church wants to support the Mercer company," she said, her face turning red as she continued. "But they have two conditions."
Logan almost wanted to laugh.
