Chapter 7

Following Trystan Morgana purposefully stayed one or two steps behind and made it look as if she was attempting to memorise the way as if unaware of her final destination. Finally arriving at the building Morgana had seen last night Trystan paused and turned around to look at her "Do you have the ring?" Morgana nodded keeping a calm appearance "Of course, is this where your boss works?" 

Trystan neither confirmed nor denied but simply knocked on the door in a slightly different manner than yesterday, forgoing the password altogether the door opened silently. Upon seeing this, Trystan, followed by Morgana, entered the build leading Morgana through a variety of stairs and corridors he finally stopped in front of a large oak desk.

"Is this the girl?" asked the cool voice she recognised as the boss's,  Trystan nodded and Morgana from moved out from behind him getting her first look at the boss. Contrary to her expectations he was a good looking boy who had shoulder length white hair tied back in a pony tail and icy blue eyes, he also only looked to be about sixteen years old. 

"Do you have the ring?"

asked the boss clearly watching her like she was watching him, "Of course." Taking out the ring Morgana passed it to the boy who examined it for several tense seconds before returning it "Well either it's real or its a highly convincing fake, so who is your boss and what business do they want with us?" 

Morgana grinned "I'm glad you asked but before that I have a question," ignoring the confused glances Trystan and the boss gave her Morgana removed her rucksack and turned it around so the cherry blossom mark was facing the boss. Tapping the mark she spoke again "Do you recognise this emblem?" 

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

Trystan once again stared in confusion while the boss paled "That mark.....I see now...no wonder there's no announcement." Morgana gave a sharks grin upon seeing his understanding Trystan stared at the two of them "Boss, what does the mark mean?" the boss gave a rueful smile. 

"Trouble, that's what it means but also that something interesting is about to happen, and so," the boss turned back to Morgana "what buissness does the queen of thieves have with me?" even Trystan gasped then, ignoring it Morgana spoke "My lady has grown bored of the city of thieves and sought a new target, she decided on Aegis." 

The boss had a troubled look on his face "I see...and so how can I help?" Morgana burst into laughter "How can I help? That's a first usually people just swear to fight my lady and that never ends well." the boss shook his head "I am no fool and my wealth is not worth more than my life. Besides," he said with a sly smile "I feel I would get just as much out of the bargain as she would." 

Morgana grinned "Clever boy, now for the sake of conveinience I am known as the carrier, and you are?" the boss grinned "It's Malaki." Morgana grinned "thank you for your cooperation I will be in touch the next few days with instructions"  Malaki nodded "Of course, but what is it that the queen of thieves wishes to steal that requires my help anyway?" Morgana's grin widened "the city, my lady wishes to steal the city."
