Lord of Secrets

Thursday morning.

Ubermo was brewing black tea in the exchange. As soon as he took a sip of the slightly hot tea, he heard brisk footsteps.

"Amon-Ra!"

Before the other party came into the room, the cheerful voice reached Ubermo's ears.

Ubermo then smiled, put down the exquisite teacup, and looked at the door, waiting for someone to come.

After a moment, Ilse stepped briskly over the low threshold, then glanced with her golden eyes, and then walked quickly towards Ubermo.

Mrs. Tris followed Ilse lightly behind her, and then said gently: "Be careful."

Ilse seemed not to hear it, walked around the long platform, came to Ubermo, and then jumped into his arms.

Ubemo smiled and helped Ilse, then rubbed her hair and said, "Why is little Ilse so happy today?"

Ilse's eyes moved slightly, very cute, and she whispered, "Of course I can see Amon-Ra! I finally escaped from my mother's little claws."

Ubemo heard what Ilse said, then smiled and said, "Your mother will be sad."

Mrs. Triss then stepped forward and gently tapped Ilse's little head, then pretended to be sad and said, "So this is how Ilse sees her mother?"

Suddenly, her tone became gentle: "Then I won't let you come out to play next time, and I won't I'll let you see Amonla, anyway, mom is not good. "

Ilse shook her head quickly and said anxiously: "Mom is the best."

Ubemo put Ilse down and said: "Let's go to the room first!"

Triss shook her head and said: "No, let's go here. After all, your exchange is not due yet. As a businessman, reputation is very important."

Ubemo smiled and said calmly: "The distinguished guests are here, and we must entertain them well. As for the exchange, it is just for leisure time."

After saying this, Ubemo sighed in his heart and felt that he had lied all the time. He didn't say this when he faced Janent last time.

Seeing that Madam Triss was unwilling to hinder him, Ubermo pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Madam Triss, please sit down!"

Madam Triss nodded, sat down, and then said, "Amon-Ra, you can call me Triss directly, we are familiar with each other now."

Hearing Triss's words, Ubermo shook his head inwardly. He really didn't know Triss at all. He only knew that she was the wife of a dead nobleman. As for more, he didn't investigate.

"Yeah, I'll call you mom directly, and Amon-Ra can call Triss." Ilse said a few times on the side.

Ubermo immediately joked, "If I call your mom's name, then I am your mom's friend, and little Ilse can't call me by my name directly."

Ilse said quickly, "No, Amon-Ra is my friend."

After a moment, she continued, "Of course, you can also be mom's friend."

"Okay, okay!" Ubermo responded with a smile.

Then, Ubermo picked up a new teacup, scalded it with hot water, picked up the teapot and slowly poured water into the cup, and moved it to Triss.

Triss's white fingers gently turned the teacup, then handed it to her mouth, and gently blew away the steaming mist.

Little Ilse looked at the tea but had no desire to drink it. She said to Ubermo happily: "Amon-Ra, last week my mother, my aunt and I went to the circus to watch the performances of those little animals. They looked so scary, not cute at all, but very funny."

Circus... Ubermo thought about it after hearing what Ilse said.

There is another circus nearby, but Ubermo did not choose it because it was too close. Of course, the Gray Silk Circus is not too far away, and for the nobles, there is no need to worry about the carriage fare.

Another thing is that the Gray Silk Circus is very famous and the performances are wonderful, especially the recent appearance of a "fire playmaster", which has attracted more people from other communities.

So, Triss might have taken Ilse to the Gray Silk Circus, but Ubermo didn't notice it.

Of course, this was because he was too lazy to observe every audience carefully, and there were many audiences, so Triss and the others were not easy to be found among many audiences.

However, he also noticed the little aunt mentioned by Ilse. She had mentioned it several times, but Ubermo was not too curious.

Ubermo then said, "Is the show good?"

"Yeah!" Ilse replied.

"Those little animals are very obedient, but my favorite is the one who plays with fire, the one who plays with fire..." Ilse suddenly pouted, her face a little anxious, not knowing what to say.

Triss then added, "He is called the Fire Playmaker, a magician who plays with fire."

Sure enough... Ubermo sighed inwardly.

Ilse continued, "I like his flames, and his eyes are similar to Amun-Ra's, but the color is a little different."

Ubermo was shocked when he heard Ilse's words, but his expression did not change, he just said softly, "Really?"

Ilse seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Ubermo and explained, "His eyes are flames, and Amun-Ra's eyes are the sun, and I like the sun the most."

Ubermo looked at Ilse's expression, and then smiled and said, "You know, Ilse, the sun is a ball of fire."

Ilse nodded in a daze, and then said, "I still like the sun."

Suddenly, Ilse said, "Amun-ra, next time when Bui comes, let's play together."

"Bui?" Ubemo was a little confused.

Triss immediately said in a slightly higher tone: "Ilse, you called your aunt's name again?"

Ilse pulled Ubemo's hand, then made a face, and then muttered, "My aunt is my friend, she said I can call her like that."

"Hmm?" Triss's face was serious.

Ilse's eyes turned, and then said, "Amun-ra is also my friend, it doesn't matter, I won't call her Bui in front of other people."

Triss's expression eased, and then said, "Forget it this time."

"Hmm!" Ilse replied quickly.

At this time, Olabor walked in from outside, his leather jacket was a little dirty. He then saw Ubemo and Triss talking, and then hesitated.

Ubermo immediately said, "Come in, but wait a moment."

Olab nodded quickly and said, "Okay, boss."

Ubermo stood up immediately, then walked to the edge of the long curved table in front and pressed the bell.

Then, Ubermo pulled out a chair, put it in front of him, and said again, "You need to wait a moment."

Olab nodded, picked up the cloth bag, but did not sit on it.

Ubermo glanced at him and said nothing.

Ilse was very quiet on the side, and did not speak, just fiddling with the empty teacup.

Triss patted Ilse's little hand gently, and then said, "Don't break it."

"Oh..." Ilse dragged out a long tone to express her dissatisfaction.

Then Triss looked at Ubermo and said, "Amon-Ra, you can go and do your work first, don't worry about Ilse, the little naughty girl."

Oarab on the side said quickly, "Madam, no, I'm not in a hurry."

He didn't know who the other person was, but from her clothes, he knew that the other person's status was not low, and her temperament was dignified and elegant, and she should be a noble.

As a commoner, he had a kind of awe from the heart for the nobles. And the other person was a distinguished guest of Ubermo, so Oarab didn't dare to neglect him.

Triss didn't say much when she saw this.

About a minute later, Banky entered the exchange from the back door, walked up to Ubemo, and said respectfully: "Master, what can I do for you?"

Ubemo immediately replied: "Next, the handover of Ourab's commission will be handed over to you, and the commission money and tasks will be handed over to you."

"First, take Ourab to the reception room, then go to the study, hand over the commission documents on the second layer of the left cabinet of the desk to Ourab, and settle the completion of this commission."

Since Ourab didn't want to disturb him, Ubemo asked Banky to take him to the reception room by the stairs on the first floor, and then he would handle this matter.

Anyway, he had already screened the information and sorted it into commissions.

Banky nodded, then stretched out his arm, pointed in the direction of the stairs, and said to Ourab: "Mr. Ourab, please follow me."

Ourab nodded and left with Banky.

"Ilse, why don't you play this scale?" Ubemo looked at Ilse and said.

He was a little confused about this. This "Justice Scale" was a little conspicuous on the long table, but Ilse never paid attention to it.

When Ilse came over for the first time, Ubermo didn't cover the "Justice Scale" immediately because he didn't think about it in advance. But when he noticed it at that time, he was still a little worried that she would be afraid of the eyeballs on the sky plate.

But Ilse just glanced at it and didn't pay attention, so Ubermo didn't cover the "Justice Scale" with a black cloth in advance.

So he was a little confused now. Since Ilse was not afraid, why did she only play with the teacup and not the "Justice Scale"?

Ilse raised her lips and said, "I don't like it."

Ubermo then pointed to the built-in display glass cabinet on the wall and said, "Ilse, do you like anything over there?"

Ilse's eyes were a little bright, her fingers were against her mouth, her face was a little tangled, she was silent for a while, and then she whispered, "No."

Ubermo touched Ilse's head, and then said, "Ilse, if you like it, take it and play with it. This is a gift from Amon-Ra."

Ilse was a little happy to hear this, but then she saw Triss's serious expression, and then she said tangledly, "Ilse can't just take Amon-Ra's things."
