"Is that so? If it truly is as you say, then it is indeed a cause for celebration. Please come in, Mr. Volen," Komer replied with a smile that was neither servile nor overbearing, gesturing for the group to enter. He noticed that apart from Volen, there was another among the Barbarians whose attire and demeanor set him apart from the rest of the Barbarian Warriors.
As Komer had anticipated, only that one Barbarian who had caught his attention entered Komer's study with Volen. Although not as imposing as Volen, the fierce look on his face left a deep impression on Komer.
Komer's lavish and generous study greatly shocked the two Barbarian delegates, the exquisite crystal glass curtain walls causing them to be unable to hide their fascination. Komer found it somewhat amusing that these Barbarians were so enthralled by something mainly decorative and of little practical value. It appeared that the tastes of these Barbarians were indeed quite extraordinary.
