They had previously heard rumors that Vincent had taken on a final apprentice, but they never thought it was Elysia. And she never mentioned it before. Everyone simultaneously turned their attention to Elysia.

Initially, Berenger and Odalyn had been thrilled at the prospect of meeting Vincent. But now, only shock filled their minds.

Vincent was a master in the world of painting, with very high standards for selecting his apprentices. The fact that Elysia had caught his eye was proof enough of her remarkable painting skills. Just how remarkable they were remained unknown.

It turns out that outstanding people just keep excelling. Being known as the Arcanum Master was clearly not enough; now Elysia was also Vincent’s apprentice.

Compared to everyone else’s shock, Logan seemed relatively calm. He was already accustomed to the disruptions these surprises caused.

Besides, apart from her known identities, he knew another secret of Elysia’s–her other identity as Rowan. If he hadn’t promised Elysia to keep it a secret, he would have already revealed it.

A smile appeared on Logan’s face as he couldn’t wait to see their reactions when they found out that Elysia was Rowan. It was going to be incredible.

Elysia stood up from the couch and walked over to Vincent, instantly becoming much more polite. “Mr. Hartley, you and Grandma are talking, and as someone younger, I didn’t want to interrupt. I thought I’d wait until you’re done chatting before coming over to say hi.”

Vincent wasn’t actually upset with her; he had just been pretending earlier. Now, seeing her like this, even if he had been angry, he couldn’t stay that way. “You’re such a clever little thing,” Vincent said, giving her a sidelong glance, his voice filled with affection.

Elysia smiled warmly before turning to the others and explaining, “We didn’t have the right opportunity before, but now, we do. Allow me to introduce you: this is my mentor, whom you may already be familiar with, and next to him is my senior, Faelan.”

Upon hearing this, everyone finally snapped out of their astonishment. Olive nodded repeatedly, reflecting on how she initially knew only that Elysia had been raised in obscurity. Listening to Jim describe her, she had assumed the girl was plain and ordinary.

Olive didn’t look down on Elysia; she simply felt guilty. If they had realized sooner and brought her back, she wouldn’t have been left out there for so many years.
