Perhaps because there was only one other vizier here, he bowed lightly to his subjects.
This is something that a monarch of a country should not do, but knowing his personality, Baru was not surprised.
'I asked the man from Beate because he was unusually eager to get on board, but the elves have a huge difference in senses from us. I thought I'd gotten used to it to some extent in Vilhemina, but I was naive.
