"Monopoly?" Sif's eyes lit up.
Stanley cleared his throat, preparing to start his lecture.
It wasn't easy to explain the new concept of monopoly to the Empress, who had no background in economics, and this was his leverage for seeking personal gain.
He intended to expose the elaborate disguise crafted by these greedy Samaritans.
"Lord Count may not have heard of monopoly, let me think about where to start."
"No, I know. And I've seen it firsthand."
Sif cut in before Stanley's lesson, giving him a brief lesson herself.
She used Roland's experience with the price hike incident at the Alchemy Association as a case study, summarizing what Roland had taught her.
Stanley's eyes widened.
Seeing his astonished look, Sif's lips curled slightly in triumph, and she shot Roland a somewhat prideful glance.
Roland was pleased, but he held back from laughing.
Be serious, this is a recruitment scene.
He cleared his throat to remind Sif to handle the main business first.
