"Nice to meet you, Duke Cooper."
"…Same here, Evan Eris."
The two shook hands lightly, ignoring the gazes coming from more than half the people in the hall who were not being subtle about their intentions to eavesdrop on the two's conversation.
However, it seemed Kieran was prepared as he lightly flicked his finger and used magic to prevent sound coming from their mouths from spreading any further than a meter away from them.
"Convenient.
I should really learn wind magic spells like this, should be able to cast them even with my 0 affinity for it."
Evan gave a light depreciating smile as he used his mystic eyes to read the spell's construction, before turning back to Kieran and continuing.
"Still…I doubt Emperor Isaac would send you of all people for such a not-so-important issue. The Marquis Parrus over there would have been enough.
I'm guessing you're the one who decided to come in person, am I right?"
"Isn't that obvious?"
