Master Of None

The leopard trait demi-human now introduced as Sirius unwrapped the small box while kneeling in greeting to the queen. "Queen of the forest elves, I allow this young one to present you with a gift from our kingdom to yours." Scylla motioned for Sirius to present the gift they had brought and explain it. 

"Your majesty. My kingdom has granted me the chance to share our most prized agricultural development. Our farmers have worked hard to develop a new species of radish. We have named it the replenishing radish.l It not only gives the body a great deal of nutrients but has the ability to replenish mana to the one that consumes it. We hope this helps bring greater prosperity to your people." 

This gift was a sizeable amount of extremely small seeds within a plain wooden box. To any untrained eye, these would be a basic item found on a farm not worth even looking at. However, to the elves, this was a wondrous gift. 

"That is a spectacular achievement for the demi-human kingdom known for their booming agriculture. I am happy to receive such a gift which will bring health to my people and excitement to the spiritual farmers.' The queen showed a brilliant smile since she knew this gift was a valuable crop. If it truly replenished mana then it could be a staple food for every single elf in the forest. 

"I hope that you three may find yourself some rest after the long journey here. The human king should arrive late tonight and will have an audience in the morning. Until then please see the sights of our beautiful city. The heroes will attest to the beauty it holds." The queen spoke and enforcers stepped forward as guides. She let one last quick smile show to Su and Walker before she started to speak with the elders. It appeared she was extremely busy. 

"I was not sure what to expect but it was just a greeting after all." Su was glad that it had only been a greeting, if it was any more than that she ould have needed more time to prepare. 

"I have a feeling that this was more of the queen's way of warning us that we would also be busy soon. Once the king is here the adventurers guild will begin set up, we will need to guide the meetings, and we will assist the king in presenting the moon silk robes to the queen. We will have a lot to do all at once.' Walker's words made Su become silent and serious. 

"What is on your mind? We will do fine. Just breath." Walker was worried seeing that Su's face had become wrinkled. 

"I know we will do fine but are we really dressed properly for this?" Su looked at Walker and her gear realizing that they looked like they had just been pout on a quest, No matter how much they polished or cleaned that was just the style of their clothing. 

"That is a good point. Let's get some proper formal attire for everyone later. Before that though, want to go meet those two from the tournament?" Walker had wanted to meet them for some time and this was the chance to do so and speak freely before everything was in motion. 

The two moved a little faster and got ahead of the enforcer that was guiding them. There was no movement to stop them since they had overheard Walker's desire to speak with the demi-humans and this was more than allowed since the heroes would be speaking as moderators in the future meetings. 

As soon as they were clear of the hall and reached a side room that the demi-humans had been guided to, Walker knocked on the door. Without any delay, Scylla opened it and looked at the two as if she knew they would come running. "Scylla, we cam to meet the two who were in the tournament with us." Walker was shameless in admitting why they had come. This only made Scylla laugh at them a little. 

"You should not address the general as such. She is an honored member of our kingdom." The monkey trait demi-human Montey spoke out immediately. 

"Then you should address me as the True Hero, Friend to the goblins, Educationist Sir Walker. And my party member, Hero, Friend of the goblins, Educationist Su. Also don't forget to address Scylla as The general of the front, educationist, Scylla." Walkers' addition of titles made the two demi-humans choke on the air they were breathing. 

"Yes, they do hold multiple titles and I have gained one as well. You can breathe now." She was enjoying their shock immensely. She had not planned to throw her title around but now felt that it would be much more fun to do so, especially when she returned home to the kingdom. 

"If that is what you desi-" Walker held up a hand and shook his head. 

"I was just messing with you a little. We don't need to be serious when we are not in the hall. We are all guests here and have a limited time to speak frankly and get to know each other. We can show you around a little and introduce you to some friends we have met here." 

"He is right, you are slightly older than them. Go explore and act your age. Still walk with respect but feel free to roam. The elves have been nothing but welcoming since they have, for the most part, desired this openness. However, do not spend all the gold you bought right away. I have plans for us to bring some things back home to begin trade." Scylla made sure the two knew her planks and was met with a sharp nod.

"Then I will properly introduce myself. I am sorry for the poor greeting before." The monkey trait demi-human Montey bowed his head as he apologized before officially introducing himself.
