—Um, yes, of course. —Ilva nodded and paused for a moment. —To be honest, I know a little more about cooking recipes than about famous political figures, but from the many things I've heard about Her Majesty, as well as from an interview that one of my acquaintances told me about, I can highlight a variety of qualities that are simply admirable. For example, they say that Her Majesty's sincere love for His Majesty, King Albert, and the people of Serberia makes her timeless. It sounds so romantic, but on the other hand, it places a very great responsibility on her, because she must possess exceptional strength of spirit and firmness of character in order to maintain a steadfast belief in the direction our country should take towards prosperity year after year. But we can use this as an example to, to the best of our modest abilities, improve the lives of those close to us, don't you think? As for recent events, I overheard something about problems in the western countries of Vistaria, but I think Her Majesty, as always, will skillfully outmaneuver everyone there.

- Veserod Rusoariessen, at your service, - he gave a polite, yet somewhat distant, half-bow, carefully concealing a nervous twitch that crossed his face. - I have my own modest, if I may say so, wool business here. You can be sure that some of the wool products you may have seen on yourself or others came directly from my enterprise! 😎
He sighed excitedly - in reality, it was a spasmodic sigh:
- Please forgive me, did you say... Von Ba? - Veserod masked his surprise with feigned astonishment, as the name had gone in one ear and out the other. - Incredible! From the very first glance, you seemed to me to be a special person, full of aristocratic dignity, and it turned out to be true! I must admit, you caught me off guard, ha-ha! 🤡
— Oh, I see... I see that there are worthy people in this city who know the proper ways of behaving. But, Veserod Rusoariessen, may I ask what you might need from me?
