Despite his sudden barging into the Stonefall Village, it was clear in the way that Baron Illus referred to Ryan that he wanted to be diplomatically cordial.

‘If I still called him Prince, not only would that be wrong, but it would also make me look too fawning. But calling him Master Ryan without his last name would be excluding his rich lineage. He is exiled, but I do not think that he will be completely abandoned by the Luxem Family at least,’ Baron Illus thought. ‘This is why I still have to give face to this brat.’

“Baron Illus, what an unexpected visit! I apologize if we are not adequately prepared for your arrival, as I had only been aware of your visit one day prior to your arrival. Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience caused,” Ryan said with a broad smile on his face.
