"...Pardon?"
The beautiful clerk's mind went blank for a moment as she tried to think of any secret code associated with the words 'Birth Control'.
After all, the Guild had many dealings with nobles and underground factions, so they all had their own secret codes for certain transactions.
But... after racking her brain, there was no such secret code as 'Birth Control'.
She looked at Jake with a slightly puzzled expression, her professional smile faltering for a brief second.
"I'm sorry, sir... but I don't believe I'm familiar with that particular code. Could you explain what kind of 'Birth Control' you're referring to? Is it related to a specific organization, a smuggling route... or perhaps a new type of contraband?"
Grace, still hidden under her hood, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
She subtly tugged at the back of Jake's shirt, clearly wanting him to clarify.
Jake realized the misunderstanding and cleared his throat awkwardly.
