Chapter 181: Misunderstanding (1/2)
All people's eyes were focused on Theo as they simply didn't expect that Nart Eilric would be greeting him. And his reason for visiting the school seemed to be related to Theo.
”Isn't that Theodore Griffith?”
”Don't tell me…”
”No way, he is just a mere first-year that happens to be lucky enough to enter the competition.”
”No, no. You can't say that.”
”That's right. He led the entire group. I witnessed it myself.”
”I also saw it.”
The situation turned into an uproar. Some people who had put Theo in high regard now put it even higher. Meanwhile, those who were jealous of him became more envious. They simply thought that the fact that Theo could meet Nart Eilric was due to Alea Eilric, unwilling to admit that his strength might play a role here.
Not wanting to make this even bigger, Nart Eilric said with a smile. ”How about we go somewhere else? We need to discuss something.”
He just confirmed that Theo was the one he was looking for and the voices ringing on their ears just got bigger.
Theo, on the other hand, nodded with a calm expression. ”Yes. We should.”
Everyone instinctively made way for Theo to go with Nart Eilric, leaving the school. That momentary silence turned into another uproar as they discussed the relationship between them.
”What? He is the one Nart Eilric is looking for?”
”No way. What is the topic they want to discuss?”
”It must be about his training and recruitment to the Eilric Family.”
”But there is Alea in the school… and he even commands the group himself, including Alea Eilric. Don't tell me… This is going to be an engagement talk?”
”What?! There's no way that's going to happen. Alea Eilric will only marry someone with the same status.”
”Still, right now is an era where strength rules… If he can become strong enough, doesn't this mean he is qualified to become the head of the Eilric Family?”
”No, no. That's just your wild imagination.”
”But what if Theodore Griffith was just faking his bullied self… All for this?”
As one would expect, the students started gossiping about this discussion as those two who were responsible for the entire chaos had left the school.
But a few important people had seen them together, especially Radvils and Theo's group.
In his room, Radvils furrowed his eyebrows and remembered Theo said Nart would meet him soon. It seemed Theo had something special to the point Nart would directly involve himself in this situation.
Although he felt uncomfortable with his involvement, it just meant his choice in Theo wasn't wrong.
