Evernight City, Nightingale.
Thud!
Two people hit each other as they walked through the streets of Evernight City.
"Hey! Watch where you're going!" The man who fell said to the other person, without even looking at who he was.
The other person, an elegant man in a fine suit wearing a black top hat, extended his hand out and said,
"My apologies, gentleman."
The guy who had just fallen, hearing that, couldn't help but look at who this person who talked so politely was.
Just as he had a look at the man, his hair stood out on its ends and like a cat that had its tail stepped on, he became startled.
"V-Viscount Maxius!?"
"Oh? You seem to know me, it seems." Viscount Maxius said and moved forwards to hold the guy's hand and have him get up.
"Are you… Viscount Maxius… is this really you!?" The man couldn't believe himself.
