[Unimpressed by the reply, King Carnelian considers his meal and eats for a moment before speaking. "Even more? Quite a prospect. Considering the current straits of the kingdom, perhaps you should be working even harder, then."
Hendrik's fairly relaxed composure as he eats makes obvious the fact that he sees nothing wrong with the king's comment. As things are right now, they would likely be increasing military funding and running a recruitment campaign early into next year. While they had steady numbers of knights coming up from Puerto Valor, they would need to increase the amounts of soldiers to bolster against increasing monster populations.]
The army would welcome any help. Sir Lazarite has floated the idea of opening recruitment for more soldiers. Or training new guards so the experienced guards can be converted to soldier duty.
["A likely necessity in these trying times. Do what you must, Hendrik."
