Chapter 36 - The King's Personal Doctor

"Is one gold coin per month enough?" Rion asked when Odette didn't give any response.

"What?"

Rion glanced at the woman next to him, because her mouth had been gaping ever since. Was she a very poor person in the world? But she had once told him proudly that she had a job and her salary was enough to support her life.

"Is it still not enough?"

"What?"

Rion finally turned his head to look at the young woman with furrowed brows.

"If you keep your mouth open like that, your mouth will be filled with flies," he said, which made Odette immediately cover her mouth, and turn her face away from Rion. Why did she always do embarrassing things?

"So?" Rion was waiting for an answer.

Odette cleared her throat then turned back to look at Rion. The salary of one gold coin was huge, but on second thought, it was worth the risk Odette had to face. She could lose her life in this job.

She recalled Lucifer strangling her.

She was still thinking, and made Rion wait a long time for the answer.
