Episode 23.5 (1/2)
The envoys entourage arrived way past lunch time.
Meaning they must have had lunch on their way.
Begged by the town lord, Lecan waited at the entrance to greet the entourage.
The town lord approached and asked him to take off his <Overking Bear> overcoat when he had it on him, so he put it away in <Storage>. Naturally along with any kind of weapons.
The town lord has the entire area around the entrance filled with people to welcome the entourage.
Commander Tesla went to meet the entourage outside the town gate and led the way to the mansion.
The Undersecretary and the townlord exchanged pleasantries at the entrance before they moved to the parlor.
There are five people on the town lord's side.
Town lord Crimus Ulban.
Guards Commander Tesla.
Two civil officials.
And Lecan.
”This man here will be acting on behalf of Apothecary Shira. He is also one of our town of Vouka's gold rank adventurers.”
When Lecan got introduced as such, the envoys entourage that had been keeping their calm buzzed a bit.
The envoys have 12 people on their side.
Prime Minister Office Internal Affairs Undersecretary, Yeteria Wazbon.
Two secretaries.
Their escort, vice captain of Royal Knights, Zafaid Katchin.
Two subordinate knights.
First class priest of Royal Capital Elex Temple, Amamir Tarance.
His escort, temple knight of Royal Capital Elex Temple, Derston Barmoa.
Two subordinate knights.
Three third class priests.
Once they were done with the introduction, the ones that got to have seats were the town lord and Lecan on the town lord's side, and Undersecetrary and first class priest on the envoys' side. Since there were only enough sofas for the one sitting, this arrangement must have been decided beforehand.
The people left standing on the envoys side are circling the sitting ones, while the three on town lord's side are standing behind Lecan and the town lord. Since the room is not that big, the town lord must be under a heavy pressure.
It was the Undersecetrary who first opened his mouth.
”We're grateful for your time. First of all, I shall deliver a message from Prime Minister-dono. <Respecting Apothecary Guide Skalabel's wish, his majesty the king has thus decreed to carry out all necessary preparations for Guide Skalabel's meeting with Apothecary Shira. Town lord of Vouka, Crimus Ulban is to cooperate with my envoys toward realizing that meeting.> That is all.”
