"Oh, noooo! I have been discovered!" Ken shouted in a flat tone as he continued to walk at a brisk pace. "What gave it away? Was it my unusual handsomeness? My height? Or my open admission?"
The envoy rolled his eyes in annoyance. "I was a little suspicious, yes. After all, I have yet to see any mages serving the Duke from an important position. This whole city of goblins and beastmen holds some prejudice against mages, do they not? It wouldn't be a surprise if the only mage in the vicinity turned out to be a human spy."
"If I were a human spy, it would be quite idiotic of me to label myself as such during an exchange with a person as special as you are, Envoy Quang."
Quang's eyes got narrow as he asked, "As special as me? What are you trying to say?"
