Revenge
Bloodiene, still in Mosten City, was stunned by the explosive news. She longed to verify it but lacked the courage.Meanwhile, Aaron turned to Duke Alaric, his voice calm but sharp. “Are you coming with me, or shall I take action?”Alaric’s face twisted into a miserable smile. “I will go with you. Just… don’t harm my family.”Aaron nodded. “No problem. I have no enmity with them.”He glanced at Hilda. “Miss Hilda, let’s go.”City Centre Curiosity rippled through the crowd as they saw Duke Alaric following Aaron and Hilda. Whispers spread quickly.Aaron stopped in the square, his voice soft yet carrying clearly to all. “A month ago, Duke Alaric told me I was the son of a slave. He barred me from his daughter’s marriage ceremony, drove me out, and gave me a single day to leave Starfall City.”The crowd murmured:“Aaron… I know that name. He was famous not long ago."“Exactly. I heard he killed many undead during the invasion.”“Yes, but later his identity was exposed, and he vanished.

Edrin asked curiously, “Aaron, where are we going next? To your territory or somewhere else?”Emily and the others leaned in, equally curious.Aaron replied calmly, “First, I need to deal with Duke Alaric. I haven’t settled accounts with him yet.”Opening his map, Aaron saw Alaric still in the castle. A mocking smile crossed his face. He turned to Hilda. “Miss Hilda, you’ll come with me. The rest of you can find an inn.”Though confused, Hilda followed.At the castle, soldiers froze at Aaron’s approach. None dared to stop him after the last encounter. A few brave ones rushed to warn Duke Alaric.Inside, Alaric sat gloomily, already sensing Aaron’s purpose. Moria, solemn at his side, said, “Master, this time I will act.”Alaric shook his head. “No, Grandpa Moria. I need your strength to protect Alice. If anything happens to you, the second prince’s faction will seize control.”Moria nodded reluctantly. “I’ve reported our situation to Madam. She warned us not to provoke the wizard furth

Aaron left the castle without looking back. Lucia, undeterred by his rejection, felt her heart ignite with determination. Adventure awaited, and she would chase it. Turning to Agor, she declared, “Master Agor, please take care of my brother. I am going with them to their territory. I will train myself to become a wizard.”Before anyone could stop her, she rushed after AaronAgor and Gorg exchanged helpless glances.Koras, pale but calm, spoke softly. “Let my sister go. Perhaps it is time she pursued what she truly desires. I will explain everything to Father when I return to Riverbend City.”He added, “Master Agor or Master Gorg, one of you should accompany her, just in case.”Gorg hesitated, then bowed his head. “Very well, Prince Koras. I will do my best to protect the Princess.”He exchanged a look with Agor, then hurried after Lucia.The group soon found themselves aboard a boat cutting swiftly across the waves. Aaron stood at the bow, gazing at the endless horizon, the salty wind

Emily, Edrin, and Hilda’s eyes widened at the sight of Aaron accepting the pouch of mana stones. Edrin muttered in disbelief, “Aaron… can being a healer really earn you so much coin?”Aaron smiled faintly. “Of course. But the charges vary. In my territory, there is a healer, a peak Tier 1 wizard. If she uses her spells, the price depends on the illness.- A Tier 0 spell might cost 1 to 10 mana stones.- A Tier 1 spell could cost 11 to 100 mana stones.Since I am being paid 1,000 mana stones, I will use spells between Tier 1 and Tier 2.”Edrin’s eyes gleamed with envy. “Damn it. I’m going to your territory. I want to be a wizard too.”Aaron chuckled. “You’re welcome to come. But remember, becoming a wizard requires qualification. If you don’t have it, you cannot become one.”Hilda listened, puzzled. Why didn’t he mention the magical fruits that could turn someone into a wizard? She thought for a moment, realizing perhaps those fruits were too precious to be promised lightly.Lucia led

Aaron’s gaze was cold, his voice sharp. “Move aside. I don’t have time to waste on you people.”The soldiers stiffened, but before they could act, Lucia River stepped forward. Her tone was sweet, her presence commanding. “Aaron… are you the wizard who challenged Duke Alaric and walked away without a scratch?”Aaron did not answer. He simply walked past her, his stride calm and unyielding.Inside her veil, Lucia’s expression shifted. For the first time in her life, someone had dared to ignore her, a princess of Riverbend, feared and revered. The sensation was strange, almost intoxicating. This defiance was a completely new feeling, one that stirred both irritation and fascination deep within her.The guards exchanged uneasy glances, unsure whether to intervene. The two Golden Knights watched silently, their eyes narrowing as they measured Aaron’s power. Lucia, however, felt her heart quicken. No one has ever dismissed me so easily… perhaps this man is truly different.Aaron’s voice wa

Edrin interjected confidently. “No, I’ve stayed with Aaron for a week, I know him better than anyone here. He traveled from Verdia Kingdom to Raven Shore in a single day. And today, we left in such a hurry… it seems something important is happening. Miss Hilda, you might be the reason."He paused, then asked bluntly. “Are you… by chance, his lover?”Emily’s face flushed with irritation. She pinched Edrin’s ear sharply, shoved two gold coins into his hand, and snapped, “Go find a tavern and drink. Stop asking stupid questions.”With a swift kick, she sent him stumbling away from the group.Turning to Melina, Emily asked, “Sister Melina, should we go after him?”Melina shook her head calmly. “No need. Sir Edrin knows this city well. He’ll find his way.”Hilda’s cheeks burned, her heart unsettled. She cursed Edrin silently. “What lover! He is my son… but another soul has taken his body.”She tried to comfort herself with those words, yet the memory of Aaron lifting her in his arms return
