Mario nodded appreciatively, intrigued by the path Bright's thoughts were taking. "Thank you, Your Highness. I'm glad you find my performance beneficial, but may I know what you're thinking concerning me?"
Bright continued, "I have an idea. How would you feel about a diplomatic assignment? A position with more significant responsibilities, possibly outside the borders of our kingdom."
Mario's eyes widened in surprise, and a mix of excitement and gratitude played across his face. "Diplomacy? I... I'm honored, Your Highness. But, I need time to think about it."
Bright chuckled, a knowing glint in his eyes. "Of course, Mario. Take your time. However, I have a feeling you won't want to pass up this exceptional opportunity. It could be a significant step in your career."
Mario, humbled by the offer, expressed his gratitude. "I truly appreciate the trust you place in me, Prince Alejandro. I'll consider it carefully."
