"My friend," Riley Chad said to Old Harry with a smile, "I am pleased to see you again."
At this time, Carl and Hibell also disembarked from the carriage.
"Lord Riley, allow me to make some introductions." Old Harry stepped back, first gesturing towards Carl and Hibell. "This is Miss Hibell and Master Carl. They are the two apprentices our Lord took in at Sigerno City." Then, indicating Riley to the newcomers, he added, "And this is Riley Chad, our Lord's cousin."
"Honored Wizard Apprentices, I have heard of your names." Riley expressed humble enthusiasm. "Please, come with me into the city."
"Sir." Hibell's expression was cold. She was accustomed to the enthusiasm of commoners and, disliking such 'insincere' greetings, asked directly, "Who is Pine?"
Pine Chad! The child from Adolf's main family line who had tested positive for Wizard Talent.
"Pine." Riley waved to the crowd, and a timid boy of six or seven was pushed forward by a woman.
