Counter Mirror

Lieutenant John's eyes widened as he realized what his Gift had become. He stared in awe at Young Lord Asher and didn't even know what to say.

"My Gift… is now Epic Rank?"

"Yes, just like your daughter's." Lucius chuckled wryly. "I do not know if this is something that you wish to report to others, Lieutenant John but I would suggest that you keep it to yourself and then use it as a chance to catch enemies off guard. Your enemies underestimating you is a great way to overcome them."

Lucius didn't have to tell others that much to keep it a secret, mostly because it was understood how special it was to have someone who was capable of increasing one's Gift rank.

However, Lieutenant John immediately bowed and smiled. "I merely wish to report it to your father, Count Gabriel, and perhaps to my wife as well, Young Lord Asher. I hope that will be fine?"
