Tough spot

"Good afternoon, honorable members of the council," Branden said while slightly bowing his head. "My name is Branden Corsalis, and this is my fiancee, the Princess Esmeralda Rosalis, and this is our bodyguard Rainendall. It is an honor to have the chance to meet you all in this utmost auspicious of days."

Rain didn't know if it was related to diplomacy, or maybe he was considered to be a diplomat as well in the situation.

"My name is Josar, leader of the Geminis tribe, and today, to keep order, I will act as the representative of the council," A man in the middle of the seats said. "I hope that you won't find trouble in this."
