The woman frowned at the records. "I suspect that there is some confusion Your Grace. The Concordia has been relatively unused recently, what with no appointed Speaker as such and several of the concordians being absent. However, I have to say that I've not been notified that you were appointed Speaker which in itself is curious considering the payments that you mention." She took her eyes off the records and sat back, looking up at him. "The finance people might be able to help, but I'd suggest, if you forgive me for the suggestion, going to the one person who can answer your question and then working back from there to sort out the confusion." She paused for the briefest of moments as though she expected him to know who she was talking about, but the manner in which she continued proved that she considered him, like most men, to be a little dim about these things and perhaps should keep themselves to what they were good at which was killing things and the like.
"The Governor is probably the person you should be talking to I think." Her smile was insincere, but warm enough for all of that.
