“Your Majesty, allow me to present Aelegron the Long.”
The King rose, stepped down from the throne platform as he only did for the most important of audiences. He took the visitor’s hand and clasped it warmly, happily. “I welcome you to my Realm, Aelegron. I understand your visit has been the subject of much excitement at court.”
“I thank your Majesty for his most kind welcome.”
“Tell me, friend, why do they call you ‘Aelegron the Long’?”
The visitor smiled and glanced at the King’s three daughters, who tittered in a corner. “Oh, just a childhood nickname that stuck.”
