Mirach’s younger twin sisters led us to the house’s parlor. We’d heard that his father, the village chief, was home today, and we were set to meet with him.

“Greetings. I am Mintaka Quark, chief of this village. Thank you for taking the time to come and visit us. I truly appreciate it.” I was surprised by how formally Chief Mintaka seemed to be speaking to a group of his son’s friends, but I soon realized why. Not one moment later, Chief Mintaka gave Sirius a deep bow.

“It’s a great honor to meet the esteemed vice-commander of the Náv Horned Beast Knights.”

Mirach looked panicked and tried to stop his father, but his efforts were no match for Chief Mintaka.

“F-Father, what are you talking about?! This isn’t the vice-commander; he’s a vice-captain!”

“His Excellency’s face is known throughout the continent. Did you really think no one would notice? I know I wasn’t present when you last visited, but as soon as I returned home, the first thing I heard was, ‘Vice-Commander Sirius came to our village!’”

Mirach’s mouth gaped open as soon as he heard that.

“How could that be? No one explicitly said or even hinted that they knew I was with the vice-commander, and yet, everyone was aware of his presence?”

“Precisely. Excuse me for saying this, but he has a flawlessly beautiful face, and his unusual silver hair is quite renowned. Not to mention, it’s obvious that the sword he carries is incredibly expensive.”

I glanced over at Sirius when he said that, and it was true—his sword was elaborately decorated, clearly a cut above the ones that normal knights carried.

“I…I see.” Mirach stammered. “So we should’ve done something about the vice-commander’s appearance and his sword…”

But Chief Mintaka paid no mind to his still-reeling son and turned to face Sirius.

“Vice-Commander Sirius, or perhaps…should I call you ‘vice-captain’ for now? Thank you for always looking after my foolish son. Additionally, I’d like to express my gratitude for all the hard work you’ve done and for visiting our village—not once, but twice.”

Chief Mintaka’s explanation made us belatedly realize that all the villagers had known who Sirius was during our previous visit, even though they hadn’t let on at all. I could tell from Sirius’s grim expression that he wasn’t too pleased that he’d been discovered. Still, he immediately masked his emotions and remained composed.

He really is impressive in situations like this, I mused.

“I never imagined the villagers would figure out who Sirius was,” I mumbled, feeling a bit regretful. “But it makes sense. Sirius is so famous that maybe trying to conceal his identity with just a new name and title was a mistake.”

Chief Mintaka nodded understandingly, “His Excellency is one of our kingdom’s heroes. And every man, be he young or old, aspires to be like him. And the women, well, they’re all captivated by his looks.”

“Yeah, that’s right,” I agreed. “Since his face and name are so well known, there’s no way he could go incognito.”

Oh dear. We were putting so much effort into
