Herald of Steel

Alexander listened patiently to some of the names given by Lady Nanazin, but he either did not know any of them or had only just barely heard of them being mentioned in the furthest of the periphery in a report.

Meaning they were either too small, they did not matter in the context of his life, and also to some extent, Alexander was simply ignorant. He really did not bother learning much about the royal court and its 'inhabitants' as he found it irrelevant.

"You…" Something that shocked Lady Nanazin after seeing that vacant face and hearing the frank admission that he had little idea who the lady was talking about.

She could not believe the man below her was so 'illiterate', unaware of even these major players in Adhanian politics.

How was he to navigate the complex political shenanigans if he did not even know who he was playing against?

This made her at first want to scold him.

But soon found it too much of a hassle.
