Duke Aiden hurriedly approached, bowed politely, and then said loudly, "Good day, Mr. Hermit.
Thank you for your help to our family, and welcome to Sivier Castle. It is truly an honor for us to have you here."
"Good day, Mr. Hermit."
Chief Mage Koshk and the three Knight Commanders behind him also bowed respectfully and greeted in unison.
During the casual talk on the way, Miss Hilowiz seemed less constrained and simply smiled, saying, "It's nice to see you again, Mr. Hermit."
"You must be Duke Aiden, whom Miss Hilowiz mentioned."
The Hermit simply nodded in greeting, surveying everyone in the hall, and finally his gaze rested on Duke Aiden.
The people of Sivier inside the hall didn't know that in Cassius's pale green profound eyes, they appeared like they were naked, with no secrets—a crushing of life's essence.
As a Red Dragon with ancestral lineage, even in human form, Cassius possessed a life essence far more powerful than theirs.
