"Witnessed by the Chief Divine, there is no falsehood! I am merely a Maya merchant without clan affiliation, wandering the world, taken in by His Highness!"
In front of everyone, Tikalo clutched the Sun Hummingbird Talisman at his neck and swore sincerely.
"I am loyal to His Highness! His Highness has never treated me poorly, granting me the rights to manage the kingdom's goods. His Highness, blessed by Divine Revelation, has promised me that when the army marches east in the future, I may become a revered noble lord in the Maya Lands... Witnessed by the Chief Divine! I sincerely plan for the kingdom, being an honest guide for the fleet, with no concealment!"
