Ian did not know Hiliard's purpose, he only knew that the old knight always showed a complex expression when he saw Yisen Gard, as if he had seen a familiar shadow, and also seemed to detest the person who created that shadow.
Just from Hiliard's reaction, Ian could realize that Yisen Gard's appearance... probably resembled Inega II, the former stationed army of Hiliard.
Perhaps even...
"Artificial human? Clone? Or just simply a resemblance through bloodline inheritance?" Ian mused, "It's said that nephews resemble their uncles, but this is a grandson."
"...None of those. And where did you gather all this random knowledge?" Hiliard's anger diminished slightly due to Ian's interruption, and he looked at the boy with slight confusion, "But indeed, you're not wrong, Yisen Gard does resemble Inega II... only someone like me, who has seen our lord in his youth, could discern it clearly."
At this point, Hiliard shook his head.
