It was near dinner time when Joshua received Prophet.
The demon realm's chief 'scientist' looked as young as ever. She was carrying several thick books in her hands. Her tiny arms made people ponder if she could carry the weight of those books.
"What has brought you here today?"
Joshua prepared a chair for Prophet to sit on.
Strictly speaking, Prophet was a subordinate of his elder sister. Even though she was a firm ally to him, she was not, in a complete sense, 'one of his people.'
"About this… I've been to the underground dwarf city beneath Norland and have seen the transportation of foodstuffs. It's only a matter of time before those foodstuffs reached the Royal Capital. On behalf of Her Highness Cecily, I would like to thank Your Highness for the aid you've provided to the citizens of the Royal Capital."
Prophet placed the books she was carrying on the chair behind her. Then, she suddenly kneeled and lowered her head toward Joshua.
