At this moment, Luca's image in the Imperial Capital was certainly not very good.
This was largely thanks to the efforts of the James Family, Willow Family, and Mingwhel Family, who had been spreading rumors.
In their words, Luca had completely transformed into a heinous villain—burning, killing, looting, and even raping young girls. He was a monstrous figure, fit only to be called a human scum.
So, when ordinary people saw this ruthless killer appear in front of them, they were naturally terrified.
Kanade, however, found it quite amusing. After all, that kind of look was something he was all too familiar with.
Patting Luca's shoulder, he teased, "What exactly did you do to deserve such bad rumors? How did they get all the way to the Imperial Capital?"
Luca twitched his lips, swatting away his hand. "Don't slander me. This is my first time in the Imperial Capital, and heaven knows why they have such intense hostility toward me."
