He turned toward Ric and Ranar.
"Young Lady."
"Young Master."
"We're almost at the city."
He pointed toward the distant mountains.
"Once we get past this valley, we only need to cross a narrow land bridge."
"After that..."
"We'll be there."
Ric nodded.
For some reason Gunter had begun calling them Young Master and Young Lady.
Perhaps it was their mannerisms.
Ric and Ranar ate, spoke, and carried themselves like nobles.
It was the sort of upbringing commoners rarely possessed.
Ric had been raised by Lilith and Renata.
He had learned etiquette from them and had unconsciously copied many of Damon's habits.
Even the way he held his utensils or sat while eating seemed refined.
As for Ranar...
She was the princess of House Brightwater.
Eva and Luna would sooner die than allow her to grow into a mannerless child.
She had endured countless etiquette lessons growing up.
The group continued through the valley.
