"The pearls are great, I've never seen this color and size before. As for the ivory, forget it, it's too long and too big, too conspicuous. Hmm... I'll present it to the King in the name of Baron Ange'er."
"Bruno, you stayed put and knew to come to me first... you're certainly a thoughtful person, worthy of my strong recommendation to His Majesty..."
"Yes! Yes! Nuno Chief, I, Bruno, will always be loyal to His Majesty, and even more so to you! You are like a father to me!..."
Nuno Chief's residence wasn't as grand as imagined. It was the mansion of a Court Viscount, surrounded by a courtyard with a two-story building inside, not at all eye-catching in the bustling Lisbon City. The decor inside was also quite standard, ordinary. There weren't any extravagant, lifelike, expensive Renaissance paintings and sculptures on the walls, only some ancient murals from the Alawi Knight Order, symbolizing the family's ancestral honor.
