It wouldn't be a surprise to hear clan names from the mainland in the outside world. Many vampires had fled the mainland, making names on their own far away from the land where they were treated as a nobody.
Miguel had met and heard a few 'traitors' during his expedition. However, confronting them was not his mission. Unless they stayed away from his business, Miguel wouldn't meddle with theirs. So far, Miguel only confronted one, and the result was an obvious victory.
That was why the surprise when Alexander uttered Maximus IV's name.
He would understand if the king spoke of another name, but not the prince of the mainland. Maximus IV never left the Mainland, but it seemed Miguel was wrong.
