When the two ships finally came alongside one another, the Town Lord immediately crossed over to Marcus's vessel, and the moment his eyes landed on the Golden Wolf badge pinned to Marcus's chest, he clasped his hands respectfully and bowed.
'So even a town lord ranks below a Golden Wolf Guardian...' Marcus returned the greeting with a polite nod. "There's no need to stand on ceremony, Town Lord. My companions and I may have to trouble your town's hospitality for a few days."
Seeing the Town Lord's respectful attitude and the villagers' curious, admiring gazes, Marcus couldn't help feeling a little pleased. Holding an official title certainly had its advantages.
