The moment I entered the parlor Chief Knight Carle of Kydus empire was trying to sip on the teacup, but while in the middle of it, he saw me and returned it quickly to the plate to give a bow.
"Your Highness Michaela, I am Chief of Knights Carle from Kydus, my sincerest apologies for visiting you this late"
He bowed to me showing full respect with his eyes shut. Although I don't like visits like this, sometimes these emergency visits are the most relevant news — after all Kydus is a day or two on a horse from here, they wouldn't send the Chief Knight himself for something trivial.
"I accept, now you may be seated, and also you can continue drinking that tea."
"No your highness, I must relay this information as early as possible"
So that is why he's so desperate to finish that tea earlier, even how hot it was.
"Okay, speak."
