"Holy shit! Who is that guy?"
"Did you see how he broke Jason's sword without much effort?"
"He must be some hidden master. Maybe a noble?"
"Nah, he just got lucky."
"Lucky, my ass. You are just jealous of his good looks."
Whispers spread through the hall but Alden had no interest in the praise or the doubts mixed in with it because at this moment, his thoughts were somewhere else entirely.
When he entered the damn adventurers's hall, he had expected things to go peacefully.
Register, get their initial ranks, maybe pick up a quest or something and leave.
That was all.
Hell, when the trouble started, he had even guessed how it would play out and decided to stay out of it but then he saw the look on Aemirya's face.
What choice did he have?
She would have burned the guy. No. She would have burned the entire damned Adventurers Guild and judging by her expression, she still hadn't given up on the idea.
She wasn't exactly benevolent when it came to others.
