"Can I also become a Civil Servant if I study enough?!"
Some people were inspired by Ivan's words and wondered if they or their children could also become Civil Servants.
"He's so humble when he spoke with us. Who would have thought he's an Imperial Assistant and a researcher as well…"
Some were shocked that he was an Imperial Assistant since he spoke with them casually like one of them.
It was Ivan's tactic, though, so he could gather more information.
And it's not like he was being too pretentious since he was indeed once a farmer and was a commoner.
[I spoke too much! Did I really have to reveal everything like that?!]
Ivan blushed when he realized he had just revealed a lot about himself.
Meanwhile, Arabella's assistants, who had limited what they said, suddenly regretted not speaking more.
[I didn't know we could speak for long. I should have added more to my speech.]
