Lilith looked at him then Atheline smiled at her. That expression made her smile back almost unconsciously. She just couldn't rid herself of his charm, not like she wanted to.
She tilted her head slightly then asked.
"What are you thinking?"
He straightened slightly.
"A royal token."
She became quiet. Now he was getting more interesting.
He continued.
"We don't need to get their permission, that would be too much work and a waste of resources. Just a royal token will do."
Lilith remained silent, thinking about what he said. Among rulers, royal tokens carried special significance. They were not currency but symbols and recognition of the highest authority.
It was a declaration that the holder possessed the ruler's personal trust. Most kingdoms rarely issued them.
Many rulers spent their entire reign without granting one since the value wasn't monetary but political.
