Leon watched the trees move past the carriage window.
A month had gone by till he entered Eclipse.
He wondered how much had changed in that time.
But one thing that did change, was he himself. Talk about him being ranked two must have already reached all the noble houses. His mother's sudden change of behavior was proof of it.
"Haaah…" He sighed just thinking about it.
Their reaction was indeed valid and reasonable. A boy who was not awakened a month ago was now hailed at such a position and rank was not at all normal.
Some people may doubt, while few would just look at the other side.
No matter good or bad, they would talk behind his back, criticize him, doubt him, or maybe call him a fraud.
But that didn't matter to Leon.
What they believed had nothing to do with him.
He had already seen it once, the cycle of admiration turning into jealousy, and jealousy turning into fear.
People always judged what they did not understand.
