Meeting The Earls (2)

'Master, is there an unusual female around you?' 

King Ophire was responding to the greeting he had received from the Blaise family who appeared next when this query echoed in his mind.

Not letting it affect what he was doing, the King conversed with the Earl and even asked him a question regarding his fief.

Thanks to this, Earl Blaise was too engrossed in answering his query, allowing the King to figure out what his etcher had just meant.

'What do you mean by 'female'?' King Ophire retorted with another question as his etcher had been too vague for his liking.

Though his etcher had always been one to speak less often, whenever it was needed, the beast would utter too much all at once.

This instance was an example of the latter as the etcher had a lot to say, especially regarding how the earlier question came to his mind.
