All eyes landed on Darius, some startled, some thoughtful, and some hostile. Darius himself rose to his feet and bowed towards those at the table before him.
"Greetings, respected ladies and gentlemen, my name is Darius Stone. I'm 13 years old and have been granted the title of Baron within the Andrato Kingdom by Listo's Minor Duke Nicholas Spencely. Behind me stands my servant, Gunner, 15 years old and member of the legendary Giant race." Darius warmly pointed to his Branded Servant.
He made sure to never directly state that he was an Adept with his own mouth but rather let people make assumptions. Who knew if one of them had the ability to tell lie from the truth?
His conflicting words would then put him in a tight spot, so it was best to feign ignorance and play the part. Interestingly, after his introduction, many took deep breaths.
Even the hostile ones were shaken as this information was too scary!
