I WILL DEFINITELY TAKE CARE OF HIM

THE three military guys who heard about Reas going to the Imperial Military Academy had different expressions on their faces.  Edmund looked genuinely surprised.  Hildred had an amused smile as if he found something very interesting.  While Wulfric had a stinky face as if he had eaten a spoiled food.

            Reas was annoyed seeing these reactions.  What, did these people think that he was not soldier material or something?

"What a coincidence," Hildred said.

Astrid quickly caught the inflection of his words.  He was definitely not just saying that because he truly thought it was a coincidence.  Although he had only interacted with this guy for a short time, he kind of understood what the other's nature was.  You know that kind of neutral evil who enjoyed watching interesting things unfold in front of him.  So, he knew that the other was definitely alluding to something.  Something that he found interesting.
