Ben Ribbians was in his room in the inn, as he wasn't allowed his own manor and The Guildhall was too crowded for all this.

Little did Ben know that he was being watched, and little did he know all these plans would ruin him in the future.

However, it was how Ben was going to be punished and humiliated that was going to be the real trouble.

Here was Ben, writing all his plans out and drawing them. Listing a few names of those in his private army and those who owed him money.

It wasn't long before he heard a knock at the door of the room he was staying in.

Who would be knocking on his room door at this time? Who?

Ben gets up and opens the door to find Nanno standing there. Wearing a simple crimson dress in a simple silvic style. As she was shorter than Ben, slimmer, and a woman; Ben wasn't intimidated even if he heard things about Nanno.

Nanno in his eyes was just a woman and a mancer, however, it was known he hated magic and began to develop a dislike towards them since his divorce.

Ben looks at the woman from head to toe, as because he didn't like them too much he thought this woman would be like all the rest, annoying in his eyes.

'Hello Ben, I'm Nanno.' She introduced 'Nanno Ranantana'

Ben's eyes looked at her, as he heard about her as both Arnell's daughter and Rocco Montoro's arrest.

But still, Ben thought nothing of Nanno nor was he afraid of her.

'Oh, uh Hi. I wasn't expecting anyone to knock on my door at the inn. ' Ben replies, as he really did suspect any of this to happen.

'Father wanted me to check on everyone. He fell asleep at The Tavern while his mansion was being built, so I already checked there.' Nanno says, smiling at Ben.

Ben didn't really like the fact she was here, nor like her smile in any way. Didn't matter if she was pretty, didn't matter if she was considered a diamond, but he just didn't like women anymore.

'Yeah…' Ben responded with discomfort. He just wanted to finish the stuff to do for his private army, but couldn't do it with Arnell's daughter here.

She was smiling as she seemed friendly, maybe even a nice enough girl. But, that didn't matter to Ben Ribbians.

'Can you leave right now? I need to focus on my work.' Ben asks, as he felt uncomfortable around Nanno.

'If you need me, I'm at The Tavern or The Manor or The Silvic Guildhall.' Nanno tells him, walking away down the halls and down the stairs.

Ben shuts the door and goes back to stuff to do with his private army.

Little did he know, this would be the beginning of his worst mistakes ever.

Nanno seemed like a normal woman or girl, talking with family, helping with family, and selling a few items on the market.

Nanno's business seemed shady, until Nanno said she can offer anything as long as it wasn't an illegal drug, substance, and as long as the item or action wasn't illegal.

It seemed impossible for a psychomancer, but Nanno claimed to her family and guildsman that everything was legit.

The Tradesman and Journeyman didn't understand how, until one of the Tradesman (a man with a top hat and dressed rather fancy named Kiriakos Scafidiades) had asked her for a psychomancer that can be trusted.

One that Kiriakos can pay handsomely without issues.

Nanno smiles at him, as she was happy to offer this service and help him with a contract to get someone.

'How much will it cost? You hadn't been very specific about your prices for each of your services.' Kiriakos asks her and tells her.

Nanno wrote everything down, looking at her log book and at the man with a top hat.

'The total of this service is 40 quill, plus 0% tax.' Nanno answers. 'Because you're requesting for a trustworthy psychomancer. If you requested a more dangerous type of mancer, the tax would have been higher.'

Kiriakos blinked at the cost.

'40 Quill? For this? That's more than I expected.' He answers, as he wasn't too happy with the result.

'Don't worry, you'll be getting it all back with more due to your request.' Nanno tells him, leaning in her chair as she fidgets with her charcoal pencil.

Kiriakos was of course suspicious, but knew Nanno had quite the reputation with The Guild and some of its people. Feeling people called her a Psycho Bitch for the fact that she was a psychomancer.

'Okay, but I'll want a refund if this isn't legit and I'll be reporting to your father if you're scamming me' Kiriakos tells her, paying the 40 quills she requested.

'Go ahead, but I can assure you that your request will be here soon' Nanno assures, as she meant what she said but Kiriakos wasn't sure if he could trust her.

'You have 7 days' Kiriakos warns, with Nanno smiling as she nodded at this.

Nanno wasn't lying about her words, because before 7 days were up. Kiriakos got what he wanted. A trustworthy psychomancer and he earned back 80 quill.

Which was more than he paid Nanno.

'I told you I wasn't scamming you.' Nanno tells him, as she smiles at him.

'I saw, but I didn't think you'd make it happen or send anyone.' Kiriakos tells her.

'I did send someone to you. When I saw them, I knew they were for you.' Nanno tells him, as she meant her word.

'And they served me well.' Kiriakos tells her as he was happy she did this for him and pleased with her services.

As a result, Nanno built up a reputation with The Guild. As he business seemed shady, until they realized they got the real deal.

With Ben and a few other men who were or affiliated with The Guild's Guardforce not receiving anything from her, as they were scared of her or afraid to be scammed.

Because Ben knew it must be magic, and he hated magic. Not to mention there was no logical way it couldn't be magic.

Things don't just happen that fast, as it was impossible. But there's no way it could be fake either, as there was more than one who had a luxograph.

Some of this stuff was even taken on a Luxograph even.

Ben still didn't trust Nanno, as Nanno seemed too good to be true with her kind of business and he heard she was a psychomancer. So to him it had to be all fake.

Ben one day went over to Nanno, learning one of her services got a pirate in Latteras executed as the pirate tried to kidnap a noble.

Still hating magic and didn't like women very much, he walked over to Nanno at her small building where held her business.

Walking into it as Nanno was writing everything down, looking up at Ben as she smiled at him as he walked in.

'Hello Ben, what can I get for you today?' Nanno asks him, smiling at him as she was happy to offer her services to him.

'Hello Nanno, I would like you to help me with my plans and my private army. Here are the details' He requests, handing her the details of his private army, his plans, and Nanno looks at him as there was something wrong.

'I'm sorry Ben, but I can't give you this request' Nanno tells him.

'What?! Why not?!' Ben questions, confused why this request was rejected.

'Because it counters someone else's offer with my services. So I can't give you this service because I was already paid to offer something that conflicts' Nanno explains, as Ben didn't like what he was hearing.

'Are you being serious? Can't you just cancel the offer that person made?' Ben asks as he wanted to demand that Nanno take this request.

'As I said, it conflicts. It'll be against my terms, the contract, and all of my services are final with no refunds.' Nanno tells him, as she couldn't give him this part of her services because of what he was asking.

'That's just bullshit Nanno! You gave other people what they wanted!' Ben shouted as Nanno's face didn't change.

'No, it's not. My services are final and can't be changed. I give people what they want but it can't conflict with what my other customers want.' Nanno insists, as she wouldn't take back what she gave people even if she could.

Ben was angry with her, storming out because he wasn't getting what he wanted.

What did he want exactly?

He wanted Nanno to make his private army a success but Ben also wanted to become a Founder of The Guild or The Merchant Prince like Arnell is.

However, such a request could not be made because of requests Arnell and Sara had made, paying more than Ben was ever going to.

Nanno didn't regret rejecting Ben's request, as Ben would've caused a death that would ruin The Guild for more harm than good.

Nanno also wanted to teach Ben a lesson instead, as that was part of Sara's request for those to not walk all over her. With Arnell's request was to live a long life and not be murdered despite everthing.

Ben's request conflicted with both, but Nanno wouldn't tell as everything is confidential.
