Lind and Chu were allowed to eat first and actual pleasant conversation was had. It was at that moment that Lind learned of a strange trend in the Rubyfire Kingdom.
Noble and royal children had to earn their names. Sometimes it could be given if they were the only child for instance with no hope of more but otherwise they were numbered by the current place from inheritance.
It meant that the Marquis' children had served or performed some service to earn their names long ago but the royal family operated by some rather odd rules.
The current King could only have children within a certain amount of time. War and beast tides could allow for more but the King would only rule until he was 5 million years old before handing off his crown to the next generation.
