These Arcanum Mages were taking specific notice that a Spirit Apprentice Mage was walking so close with a man who simply not a single speck of Mana within him. It was matching the rumors they had heard flying around yesterday.
But none of these Mages took the moment to inquire about them.
The deterrent came in the form of Lyra. While not an inborn Arcanum Mage, she was still a Royal Prodigy Mage who had the title of Lady Lyra. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that she had the same kind of status as a Royal Prince or Royal Princess.
Thus, unless one was a Spirit Expert Senior Mage or one of the royal children, none of these noble Mages dared to approach.
Which was fine by Gladius's standard. He didn't want to be bothered. And it was an interesting thing to note the considerable high amount of 3-Star Mages here.
