Baron Rivelle's eyes widened in utter disbelief as his gaze fell upon the three young men standing before him. Recognition struck him almost immediately. As a Baron, he maintained close relations with several of his peers, most notably, Barons, like Baron Canestane and Baron Whale. Consequently, he was familiar with their sons, William Canestane and Finch Whale. Yet, it was not their presence that left him momentarily speechless; it was the third boy standing calmly between them, the Tenth Sun, Asher Wargrave.
Although Asher seldom appeared in public, his name and reputation were known throughout noble society. Those who had attended the grand Royal Birthday Celebration of the Royal Twin could never forget the image of the young man who bore that illustrious title. Baron Rivelle had been among the attendees that night, and the sight of the Tenth Sun's abilities was forever engraved into his memory.
