Behind the brown desk, Colin slowly put down the newspaper in his hands, his brows slightly furrowed as he looked at Renee and asked,
"The rent has increased... How much?"
"It's gone from seven hundred Magic Stones to two thousand," Renee replied, her face also showing distress, "They said it's because you, master, Advanced to First Rank, and are no longer a Wizard Apprentice, so you can no longer enjoy the exclusive discount for apprentice housing."
Colin's brow remained furrowed, it's curious how the rent didn't increase sooner, but chose to do so several months after he had Advanced to a First Rank Wizard…
After pondering for a moment, Colin sighed, put the matter aside, and got up to go downstairs to the living room.
"Good morning," Lillian greeted him with a smile.
Today she was wearing a white pleated dress, with black tights that shaped her slender calves and black leather shoes on her feet.
Her fur coat was hanging on the coat rack beside her.
