The others looked with surprise at Kyle.
"You're a dwarf?" the Crown Prince asked.
"Half-dwarf," Kyle said.
"Half-dwarf," the Crown Prince repeated.
"Yep," Kyle said.
Silence.
"I've never met a half-dwarf before. So, excuse me if my questions might be a bit intrusive," the Crown Prince said.
"No problem! I get that all the time. Ask away!" Kyle said.
The other representatives remained silent while the Crown Prince asked about the basics.
How was dwarf culture different from human culture?
How did beasts taste?
Could Kyle advance simply by eating?
"I can," Kyle said. "I don't need any Ether Crystals. Just a couple of Monsters are enough."
"Lucky," Tomb said with a snort. "Advancing would be so much easier if I could just consume some beasts."
"Truly, an enviable ability," Shore added.
