Ronald had always encountered enemies where the atmosphere before the battle had generally been tense with swords drawn.

Kirill from the Moissanite Chamber of Commerce was leading his two apprentices towards the path here, and naturally, he also saw Ronald's group of three.
Kirill did not recognize Ronald for he had changed his appearance, nor was he familiar with Rees, the heretical magician who was in charge of guiding them tonight, but upon merely seeing Costate—the third member aside from the other two—
this core member of the Moissanite Chamber of Commerce immediately recognized him.
His facial expression went from initial indifference— to surprise— then to confusion— and finally to understanding.
Then, Kirill made a somewhat unexpected response.
