Things That Weren’t Right

People were shocked by Arias’ appearance. Although a lot of them didn’t recognize him, many others still remembered what he looked like. The rumor that a mage whom people believed to be Arias showed up started spreading like wildfire. On the streets in Porius City, several people were watching him while making comments.

“But isn’t Viscount Arias dead? Maybe that person was just a look-alike?”

“I’m not sure either. But a look-alike with a similar power level? That seems rather unlikely. Could it be that he has a sibling that looks like him?”

“What kind of nonsense is that? Everyone knows that Lord Arias only has an adoptive sister.”

“Now that you mention his adoptive sister… Won’t things get ugly now that he’s back?”

“You’ve got a point. I heard he’s very protective of his sister.”

“Shh~ Do you think he’s deaf or something? Watch what you’re saying. Real Viscount Arias or not, that person’s still a sage mage.”
