Leopold Müller |
The sound of boots striking stone echoed through the room as the man strode forward, his salt-and-pepper hair tied loosely in the back. A broad, somewhat floppy hat shadowed his sharp, calculating eyes, while his neatly trimmed mustache and goatee framed a mouth set with purpose. His attire was simple but purposeful: a shirt with a large white collar, a well-worn leather vest, and sturdy boots that bore the marks of long journeys. As he stopped, he removed his hat and placed it against his chest with a flourish, offering a slight bow.
"Greetings, meine Herren und Damen," he began, his Brecht accent thick but his tone commanding. "I am Leopold Müller, new Governor of Mieres, duly appointed by His Highness, Prince Darien Avan." He let the words hang for a moment, ensuring the weight of the statement was felt.
"I am sent, you see, with a singular purpose: to restore order and decency to a land plagued by misrule. The mess left by the previous governor—ah, it is unspeakable—but this, we shall fix." He adjusted his vest, straightening his posture. "By the authority of the Crown of Avanil, I bring with me the will to govern fairly, and the strength to ensure the law is respected. I hope—no, I expect—that we shall work together to bring prosperity to all who dwell in the Straits of Aerele."
A slight smile tugged at the corner of his lips, though his eyes remained serious. "Now, then, I trust my introduction is sufficient, yes? There is much to do, and time waits for no man." He dipped his head in acknowledgment, awaiting the response of the gathered regents.
