"Larven…?" the queen inquired, her gaze shifting with curiosity. "A noble associate of yours?"
Damian looked to the side, noticing Einar frozen in place. Her foot lingered near his, as she had been stomping on it moments before. Meanwhile, Sam was staring at Damian as if seeing him for the first time.

He wouldn't press the issue if she didn't want it; in truth, he doubted he could secure both the valuable land and a title with a single request. His contributions were significant, but they still might not be enough to warrant such a reward. Yet, he had no other wish in mind—this was simply a way to test how far the queen would go. The wish wasn't very important to him.
"Her…?" a small voice echoed. It was the princess, her eyes darting around as everyone momentarily looked her way before turning back to Einar.
