"I'm supposed to come here as an observer when the middle-ranked tribes collect their tributes from the lower-ranking tribes," Gundar said with a smile. "But I suddenly got the urge to personally see you, Ulric. Well, I admit I'm also rather curious about how you overcame the challenges of your neighbor."
The old man paused before shifting his attention to Leone, who was seated in front of him.
"But for you to call him your Great Chieftain in front of me… are you perhaps courting death?" Gundar asked in a teasing tone. "You DO know what calling someone Great Chieftain means, right?"
Ulric smiled helplessly. "Great Uncle, I only called him that way in front of you because it's you. Had it been someone else, I would have simply referred to Leone as 'Chief' instead."
The title, Great Chieftain, was only reserved for the Barbarian King who stood above all Barbarian Tribes.
