The knights burst into applause when the song ended. Maxi followed suit, showering the young sailor in praise.

"W-What a wonderful performance. But I think it was a bit different… from the one I heard at the festival."

"Each region has its own version, my lady. There are several verses, and the part I played for you is the second verse. This one's come down from Gillian, the old capital of the Roem Empire. Did you not like the lyrics, my lady?"

Maxi shook her head. "It was… a beautiful song."

"I'm glad to hear it, my lady."

The sailor executed a respectful bow, his arm pressed horizontally across his abdomen. Riftan had been quietly eating his soup beside Maxi. He stopped to fish out a denar from his pocket and toss it to the brightly smiling sailor.

"Your reward for making my wife happy. Entertain her with songs she might like whenever you are free."

"It would be my pleasure, great sir."

The sailor's mouth stretched like a half-moon at the unexpected, hefty tip.
