"Your Highness, the dwarf named Veldor is inciting your people all over the Lower City District."
The commander of the royal guards reported to Devan.
The prince swirled the wine in his glass with one hand and caressed the crown presented on the desk with the other.
After a while, he said slowly:
"I know, that dwarf is inciting people in the name of some Prophet, and you've driven him away many times."
"In my view, it's just the usual exaggeration from the Danschel people; I think he has no special traits at all. Even having met the True Believers' Prophet might be a fabrication."
The commander offered his speculation.
"Lotto, you've said exactly what I was thinking."
Prince Devan clasped his wine glass,
"We are always on the same page."
Commander Lotto smiled faintly and muttered silently:
"Praise be to the Gods."
This phrase originally came from the Mercury Priest, a greeting and blessing used by Mercury Priests.
