Elijah sized up Darius much in the same way as Darius sized up Elijah, different thoughts going through their heads. While Darius was comparing the half-step Master stage expert to his two Journeymen vampires, Elijah was stunned by the fact that both Darius and Gunner were Adepts.
Darius radiated Mind Power, which proved that he was an Adept mage, however that didn't surprise the Royal Seneschal. The young lad was far from being a faceless fellow, his name alone was like thunder in the capital nowadays, ever since he arrived and introduced himself to the Equality Faction in Listo.
That was also why Darius had been confident enough to merely report his name and nothing else at the gate of the camp. All upper echelon members of Andrato Kingdom knew who he was and his recent meeting with the Crown Princess had only sparked a new wave of heat.
