Alex thought that Matthew showing up would make things more complicated. Since he wasn't sure what this person will say. There is a possibility that he might actually tell his secret from the get-go. Knowing this Alex didn't really want Matthew to join them but since he was here already he had no choice.
Alex separated from the three girls and went near Matthew, they were so close that their faces were rubbing each other.
"Matthew, please don't tell them about me being a merc, or you being the only student of the strongest Saint. If they ask I met you in the Southern Union in one of my trips there with my Dad."
"Oh, that's surprising the silent flash is actually sounding a bit scared. Well, alright I won't tell them about me being my master's student, nor about you being a merc. Is that alright with you?"
"Thank you, Matthew."
"Oh, also did you hear about Lyner?"
"What about Sir Lyner."
