Not the most flattering rendition of her, but she knew being underestimated was as good a bonus as one could expect, though she wasn't named or described beyond being a 'gold of significant size, and greater ego.'<br/><br/>Still, he was glad to get the end of the humorous epic, having 'killed the evil, gauche, unsightly, and unloved mage though an accidentally weapon discharge.' Finally finished, he took a drink offered by one of the servants with a nods of thanks, ignoring the sweat dripping down his face from having spent nearly half an hour speaking, and let the Queen drop her comments, though this was a choice on his part, rather than something from the Mantle.
