The Hand of Paleness

Lucien’s attitude was not out of Felipe’s expectation, so he put on an elegant smile, "It’s my great pleasure that Professor actually heard my name before."

However, although he was saying that, in Felipe’s mind, as a talent who had already published his first article on the influential journal Magic, he felt that of course Professor should have heard his name.

Then, Felipe changed his tone, "But it seems that you don’t really value this gathering, Professor. We are all from the congress, and you’re still wearing that ugly black hood? That doesn’t match your status."

Lucien knew that now every word he said might put him at great risk, but remaining silent all the time would definitely make him more suspicious. So, he carefully kept his answer short and answered with a husky tone, "Honestly, I don’t want you, Mr. Felipe, to stir any trouble for me when we get back to Allyn."
