Next to speak was Robert von Löding, Count of Foyle and Minister of Military Affairs. Among the dukes gathered in the hall, he was the only man who held the title of count, and his appearance seemed far more suited to a battlefield than a royal council.
As Lina had noticed before, Robert was an enormous man, standing well over 1.9 meters tall and towering above most of the people around him. Although he wore a neat formal suit like the other nobles, the powerful muscles beneath the fabric were impossible to conceal. His arms were nearly as thick as an ordinary person's thighs, while his own thighs seemed wider than Lina's waist. Combined with his thick beard and bushy eyebrows, his appearance gave the impression that he had wandered into the wrong gathering and might be more comfortable standing outside a besieged castle.
