"Forgive me for my ignorance, but if I may ask—"
"You are forgiven."
As an elf with a slim body was about to inquire about something, another young elf interrupted him, making many elders in the room chuckle slightly.
Irtuk didn't take any offense to the interruption as he slightly nodded his head in acceptance of the comment that was meant to insult him.
"I must thank you for your kind heart, sir."
Irtuk's humble attitude made the young elf who had tried to mock him click his tongue in disappointment.
No matter how disrespectful the comments towards him were, Irtuk had never once lost his cool.
"You were saying something, Master Irtuk."
The assistant spoke, though there was a hint of admiration in his eyes, coupled with respect towards the man whom everyone seemed to be taking lightly.
"I wanted to ask about the deal that the banks had proposed, as I wasn't made aware of it."
