The Eagle's Throne

34. MARÍA DEL ROSARIO GALVÁN TO NICOLÁS VALDIVIA

Do you want a reward, my impatient sweetheart? Well, here it is. Bernal Herrera is very impressed with your great exploits. He believes, in addition, that it’s not only useless but dangerous for you to continue working in the office of Tácito de la Canal. He spoke to the president. You’ve been named undersecretary of the interior, second in command to Bernal Herrera.

I repeat. Wait. Calculate. And be grateful.
