Capítulo 52: Another Deal

Clarisa’s anger flared when she noticed Alec ignoring her, but she was powerless to confront him, knowing full well that she they were not in a place where it was proper to fight in between themselves at the moment.

Among the few who doubted Alec, Larisa strongly believed Alec’s strength was overstated, suspecting he merely coasted on the coattails of his formidable clansmen.

After all, he was the heir to the current patriarch and he had the power to do so, and many had not really witnessed him in combat so his battle powers was practically unknown.

The Lantz family’s claim had been that he was a golem mage, and this had led many to underestimate him, assuming he relied on the likes of Brandon and Arthur to bolster his reputation.

Otherwise, they felt why would he have to feign sleep at the banquet where they were supposed to fight, only to later hear of his might in rumours?, his actions had convinced them that he fell short of the prowess rumoured about him.
