Sigh!
This sigh was waiting at the tip of Aldrich's tongue for quite a while.
It wasn't unexpected for Aldrich to hear something like this from a higher Ranked Dreamer. Only he knew the reason for him to portray himself as a Bastard of House Venomous Rose and not its ancestor. There were certain things that he could only do with his identity in question, but credible enough to be accepted by an Earl, like Drago Goranov.
One of those reasons was to attract the attention of the coming Marquess. But even Aldrich seemed to have underestimated the lure of the bait he had thrown into the sea for him to catch the biggest fish. A personal student wasn't a position that could simply be earned or taken. It was a pure luxury that could only be given.
