Charles, seemingly oblivious to Howard's subtle move, began to expound his observations, "Howard, perhaps you've not paid enough attention recently. The craftsmanship in our realm has seen tremendous advancements. The chainmail we used to have, at the same price now, can be procured with small reinforced plates embedded within it."

This realization sparked an impulsive thought in Howard - to invite Resarite to this high-level military discourse.
After all, Resarite was to be Howard's military commander; the more he knew, the better it would serve Howard's purposes.
