"Oh my, is that Asher Inanis? Count Gabriel! It's been so long! Congratulations once again to your victory, although what else could we have expected from someone as excellent of a warrior as you are?" a voice spoke excitedly.
Lucius glanced briefly at a man that was barely five feet in height but his loud and jovial voice caught the attention of everyone.
"Thank you for the warm regards, Baron Ridel. This is Asher indeed." Count Gabriel gestured to his son who smiled politely.
"Haha, look at how much you've grown like your father, that is quite impressive." Baron Ridel said with a chuckled. "I've heard that you also became quite impulsive and went against the Gisir army even without permission from your father. Recklessness truly runs in the family doesn't it?"
This was a topic that Lucius was aware most nobility would steer away from or at least deal with a more serious or even hopeful tone.
