"But how do you know? Did you meet him?" Ariella asks.
Well, how can I not know him? Lord Esteban was Sophia's father!
He's also my father in law in that dream.
But, of course, I can't let Ariella know that.
"No, I haven't met him," I reply, shaking my head. "However, when I started learning the enchantment arts, his books were the first thing I read. From the basic knowledge to the advanced concepts, he explained everything so clearly that it made his books way better than all the other options. And not to mention, some of his Arcanum theories were revolutionary! Now that I think about it, can he be considered my first teacher too?"
"I-I see…" Ariella says, her voice softening. "So we have the same teacher…"
"Yep," I nod, trying to cheer her up. "So, I'm curious. You said that I remind you of Lord Esteban. Are we really that similar?"
