Within a day of his nephew naming him the new Master of Coin of Dele, he received a letter informing him that the Master of Whispers wanted to speak to him. He knew that the Master of Whispers, someone he hadnβt had the pleasure of meeting, was a man that valued his privacy as only a select few people of the court knewΒ who he was, so he was surprisedΒ to be given the invitation. Still, he went to the location in question - the Sirenβs Call - and was brought to a private room in the bathhouse where he saw someone standing before him.
ββ¦Youβ¦ are the Master of Whispers?β
Lance loved an introduction, especially whenever he had the upper hand. With a new Master of Coin it meant a new meeting would need to take place. After all Lanceβs business was a large revenue source for the kingdom, the taxes alone were a nightmare. Thus it was always wise to be in good graces with the Master of Coin. Heβd sent the letter, saturated with his personal perfumes and made great plans. The meeting would take place where he was most comfortable, that being the baths. A private room was prepared, essential bath oils spilled into the heated pool creating a relaxing aroma. Taking his position in the water, the heat soaking over his tense muscles he waits for Lord Gauthier. Only when the door opens and heβs greeted with the new Master does he stand, water running down his smooth body as he does so.Β
βSurprised? Not many expect someone like myself to be a Master. Yet here I am. Please wonβt you join me? The water is lovely...β
