Hestia entered the audience room where the emperor was and bowed lightly.

"It's my first time meeting you, Your Majesty. My name is Hestia Blade, the deputy chief of the Crow Tribe."

The emperor, who was absentmindedly watching Hestia, came to his attention and greeted her. "First time meeting you as well. I am the Emperor of the Oreliang Empire, Bendiel von Bahamund di Oreliang Eltriara."

The emperor introduced two people standing next to him. "These are two people whom I trust more than anyone else. This is Sir North, head of the Imperial Guard Division who protects me, and this is Sir Glont, head of the Adventurers’ Guild."

At the emperor's introduction, the two bowed their heads without saying a word.

"I believe you have probably heard of Sir Glont."

"Yes, I heard that our tribesman, Bloody Blade, is indebted to him. Feel free to let me know if any of our tribesmen have caused any trouble." 

Hestia deliberately did not use honorifics for Bloody. The title of deputy chief of the Crow Tribe was higher on the chain of command and so she had to treat him as a subordinate even if he was older.
