'Damn body!'

He recalled Ganien's words that his bowl was large, but he could not contain it because the bowl was too weak.

'The Archmage...'

Ruel suddenly opened his eyes with chills while swearing at his body.

"Do you know that you just tried to kill your nephew with your own hands?"

Ganien suddenly jumped at the man in anger.

Caught by the collar, he bowed his head like a sinner, and Drianna, standing next to him, could not stop him.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"Do you know how long Ruel fought alone, holding on to that body, while you were locked up?"

The man's complexion simply turned pale.

"He walked for the first time in five years."

The man looked up at Ruel, raising his bowed head.

On the face of guilt, Ruel's face showed nothing.

"Water," Ruel said.

Cassion got up and went outside.

"Stop it, Ganien."

Even though it was a small sound, Ganien let go of his hand and pushed the man away.

"I'd like to talk to you."

"... Okay."

Ganien and Drianna went outside.

Ruel inhaled Breath with trembling hands.

The man looked at the Breath.

"That Breath... Are you not getting any rest?"

"After we finished our conversation."

Ruel checked his breath as he returned and pointed to the chair next to him.

"Sit down."

The man didn't come up to me in a hurry.

"Uncle, I'm tired."

Only then did the man rush and sit down.

He rolled his eyes around, anxious like a person sitting in a chair for the first time.

"It's all right."

"... But,"

"I'm alive and I'm not dead, so it's okay."

"I'm sorry...you're right."

Feeling like he's not referring to this one, Ruel asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Everything..."

For a moment, Ruel noticed.

A man named Ruel's uncle had a great deal of guilt on him.

It was roughly expected.

Maybe he could have saved Ruel's parents, but he couldn't save them, and he could have stopped them when Ruel was kicked out.

I wondered why, but I didn't need to know.

"Forget about the past."

By forgetting the past, that man could not be bound by the past.

And cover the past so that he can get his hands on the Knights of the Magic.

The man made eye contact with Ruel for the first time.

Ruel laughed when he saw the eyes of a man full of fire.

His eyes are not dead yet.

"Can you protect me this time?"
