"Good morning, Grand Duke Pedgas! It was an honor meeting you last night."
The Grand Duke looks at me curiously while giving a professional smile.
"It was great meeting you as well, Grand Duke Lotus. How may I help you?"
I think for a moment before responding. I think back to the night before when we first met. He mentioned that he always wanted to travel to Tarondar. I need to sound convincing, though, to make it believable. My breath is steady as I respond to him.
"You mentioned last night that you would love to travel to the Kingdom of Tarondar. I am very intimate with the area. I grew up in the village of Mistfall, which is a small village in the forest near the capital. The capital of Tarondar is called Stonelight. It is a very beautiful city. Once this whole thing is over or whenever we have enough peace time, I would love to show you around."
Grand Duke Pedgas studies me for a moment. I hold my breath.
