Kali stared at me like I had just announced I was going to arm-wrestle a dragon.
Jin, on the other hand, had the expression of a man slowly coming to terms with the fact that he had made a very, very bad decision.
"So what you're telling me," Kali began slowly, her fingers drumming against the table, "is that you blackmailed Prince Jin Ashbluff and forced him to join our guild?"
"Yep." I nodded.
Jin's glare could have cut steel.
Kali exhaled through her nose, then looked at Jin. "I understand you, Your Highness," she said, shaking his hand solemnly. "This crazy bastard did the same thing to me. I want you to know—you are not alone."
Jin blinked at her. "What."
"Shut up and sit down," I said, rubbing my temples.
Kali sat down with exaggerated obedience, giving me a deadpan stare. "As you say, Sir."
"And why are both of you acting like you don't get benefits from this?" I sighed.
"Benefits in the future," Kali corrected, her arms crossed.
Jin nodded.
