One of them was the son of the ruling Duke of Burnwick and a top student of the Royal Academy.
The other was known as the Silent Architect of Ash, a rising young craftsman of the kingdom who was also a top student of the Royal Academy.
It was only natural that people of a certain noble standing would recognize them.
"That's the Silent Architect of Ash."
A Lower-Ember nobleman said calmly after glancing towards the young man whom the Duke of Burnwick's son had come to meet.
He sat comfortably in the customers' lounge, holding a glass of cold fruit juice.
His clothes were well made, and the small crest pinned to his chest marked his noble status.
He did not speak loudly, but his words were enough to draw the attention of the boy sitting beside him.
"They're really close back at school, Father."
His son replied before taking a sip of his drink.
The boy was the Low-Ember noble's son and a first-year student of the Royal Academy.
