"Secretary Rastigne, when can we start?"
While Rastigne was talking with Andre Milanovic, the geological survey leader, who had remained silent, asked Rastigne.
"Secretary Rastigne, are these the experts from Paris?" Andre Milanovic asked Rastigne as if he had just noticed the group of geologists.
Rastigne nodded and replied to Andre Milanovic, "That's right! They are the mineral exploration experts specially appointed by His Majesty the Emperor to assist us in our mineral survey."
After hearing Rastigne's introduction, Andre Milanovic presented a sudden look of realization, then with a broad smile, he grasped the leader's hand and said, "It's wonderful that you have come!"
"It's nothing," the leader still maintained a particularly serious expression, not looking at Andre Milanovic, but turned his head to ask Rastigne, "Your Excellency Secretary, when shall we begin the survey?"
