Sylphy, down to the tiny details, told them about how the boy called Rudeus Greyrat was the one who taught her magic.
How Rudi is very wise and how Rudi taught her various things.
That story had very much astonished the nobles.
If the story is really true then, that genius boy does exist, and before leaving the village, he had arranged to leave an apprentice.
It is not an ordinary apprentice.
It is a user of chantless magic.
Surely this is an ominous circumstance.
Well, if any of the stories are true.
With the information manipulation by Sauros, the case and circumstances of whether the person was a boy or girl can be changed.
However, the fact that this girl is a user of chantless magic is a reality.
Users of chantless magic are a rarity.
If Sylphiette said that she was not that genius boy in question, then the probability that she is his disciple remains high.
The real name of that genius is Rudeus Greyrat.
When the full name was spoken, a [Hm?] was uttered and many nobles were puzzled.
What is Greyrat? Why it is the name of the Upper Nobility who protect all the sides of the Asura Kingdom.
The name of Greyrat is not unusual to any degree in this country.
It is known as a family with a fondness for women.
To hear that a lower noble's daughter or maid has conceived a child in order to become a mistress is not an uncommon thing to hear.
And, thus, it is allowed for those mistresses to call themselves Greyrat.
They decided that the names of the four protected sides they would be called by would be:
Notos
Boreas
Euros
Zephyrus
There are many people who introduce themselves in Asura Kingdom as Greyrat.
However, though an ordinary name, the talk becomes different when it’s about a genius.
For nobles who wish to be established, they need to have blood relations with one of the four main branches of Greyrat, no doubt he had been working towards that end.
That he started out with the Boreas, by being hired through Philip, Sauros's so-called illegitimate child, was also guessed at.
At least, something like a betrothal to Boreas' shrew-like daughter could make it so he could claim the name.
Luke says that none of his family, brothers or anyone has a boy with that name.
[It will be necessary to examine it more in detail.]
Nobles very much loved thinking of things to do with power struggles.
If Rudeus chose someone other than Notos, plans would be crafted to sabotage him.
However if he chose Notos, there is a chance he could be enlisted as an ally.
And so, their talks deviated from the original purpose of validating the identity of Sylphy.
To them, the possibility of a power struggle was of far more important than anything trivial, like the true nature of Sylphy after all.
