"So, you are the messenger sent from Congregation City, representing Lord Duk Suon?"
Thales sat in his study, smiling at the foreign messenger before him: He was dressed in lavish attire, with a turban wrapped around his head, a grand collar, and exquisite sleeves. His face was covered with the unique patterns only seen on the Hambool People, making his facial structure appear exaggerated and special, even distorting the shape of his eyes.
"Indeed. Blessings of the Sun, respected and noble Diye Ba and Talal, I am called Nawusude, a servant under the command of Talal Dussein."
As the words fell, Nawusude followed the Hambool etiquette, bowing with his hand on his stomach, left hand touching his forehead, praising the sun while he paid his respects to Thales with a grand gesture.
Thales smiled and asked him to sit.
