Chapter 183
After the group went in, one individual from each country stayed behind. They walked to us and bowed.
Each of their gestures were a little different, having little details like where and how they placed which hand, the degree at which an arm was stretched, and whether or not a leg went in front of the other.
"Good morning, Your Excellency," one of them, a male Harpy, greeted me. "I am Higher Relations Regulator Erma Iracon. It’s an honor to meet you."
Next was the Goliath. Even though the woman was bowing, I had to look up. "Good morning, Your Excellency," she greeted me. "I am Ladni Afras Koluum III, Higher Relations Aide, at your service."
In absolute contrast to the Goliath’s height, a Dwarf spoke next. "Good morning, Your Excellency," he greeted me. "I am Plavi de Piedrazul, Minister of Higher Relations. I sent Your Excellency a letter last month. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you."
The man reached the Goliath’s thighs.
Next, a woman with light green skin and leaves that were similar to an artichoke’s instead of hair addressed me, "Good morning, Your Excellency." Her voice was like the sound of a stream in the middle of a forest during the day’s early hours. "I am Trilly Puna, Facilitator of Higher Relations."
Finally, the Human spoke. "Good morning, Your Excellency," he greeted me respectfully. "I am Jahal Silos, Secretary of Higher Relations."
Not only was the bowing different, each had a unique title attached to their position even though they were practically the same. They outfits were also unique, each having the crest of their respective country on various articles of clothing.
I nodded. "Good morning to you, too," I replied.
A voice came from the entrance to the Royal Palace, "Your Excellency, we meet again."
