The road towards this ducal mansion was packed full of people, as even with how wide and spacious the streets were, it still felt too small a space as bodies were colliding with one another.
"This Raiden Agares seems to be quite the loved figure, huh?" I muttered, seeing the clear excitement on the faces of the people around us.
"You have no idea. The young master has already surpassed the might of his ancestor, Lord Thaddeus, becoming arguably the most powerful figure in all of Althea and he's barely twenty. People are already calling him the greatest prodigy to have ever happened to Althea, and I don't believe they're exaggerating." The man leading us replied proudly.
"So you're telling me that there aren't any other geniuses in these lands that can compare?"
"None whatsoever. The only other contestants are the Berserk Prince, the Young Lion Duke, and the Young Demon Duke's fiancées, but all these people are still part of the young duke's circle, so they don't count."
