Dinner was an eventful one, full of laughs, jokes and even some tears, but the reunion was that a reunion of friends and soon to be family. 

When everyone was done with dinner the servants standing in the corners came out and cleared the table and five more came in with a sixth carrying a large gold patter with an even larger silver cover. Doctor Malleus slid himself and his chair to the side so that the servant could set the platter in the center of the table. “The chef prepared a very special dessert tonight” the attendant said putting his hand on the gold handle and lifted it.  “It’s a Chocolate gnash cake with 24 carat gold leafing.” The attendant said bowing to the group and walking away. They each took a plate with the cake and began to eat. “This is wonderful; I might have to take your chef with me when I leave here.” Doctor Malleus said.  “Actually Doctor that is another reason we have summoned you here.” Reign began. “What so that I could take your chef.” The doctor said with a deep laugh.  Everyone laughed right along with him. “No, I actually had you summoned here Doctor because I was hoping to be able to convince you to remain here in our services.” Elizabeta said.  The Doctor put his fork down and looked at Elizabeta. “What about my practice back in Gavle?” he asked spreading his hands. Elizabeta nodded, “I knew you were going to ask that.” She said. “We are prepared to offer you a very handsome deal Doctor.” Reign said.  The doctor looked at him with a puzzled look on his face. “We are prepared to offer you 10,000,000 Krona for 6 months out of the year.” Reign said. The doctor fumbled his fork, “Excuse me?” the doctor fumbled. “For 6 months out of the year we are willing to offer you 10,000,000 Krona.” Elizabeta repeated with a smile. “When do you want me to schedule another to take my practice while I am here?” He asked with a dumbfounded look on his face.  “Well Doctor that is up to you.” Reign said leaning back in his chair.  “Well since we are in the middle of a month perhaps I will do my stay with you in two months.” The Doctor said picking his fork up off the floor. “I will need to have time to get another doctor there who can take over my practice while I am here with you.” He said matter-of-factly. Reign nodded and held out his hand. “You have a deal Doctor Malleus.” He said and shook the doctor’s hand.

After they had shook on the deal Reign motioned to one of the servants standing in the corner, the servant jumped and half walked and half jogged over to Reign, who motioned him to come closer and he whispered in his ear. The servant then straightened up, bowed to Reign and jogged out of the dining hall.  Reign looked at everyone and smiled and he picked up his fork and finished his dessert. And everyone else followed suit quietly.
