Chapter 31: Arrival of Widia
It had been two weeks since Rowan returned to Widia.
That day, after escaping from the lair and making it to the surface, they were protected by Rowan’s master and returned to Widia on a newly arrived skyship.
Rowan spoke to his master, Meln.
He pleaded with Meln to save the boy who hadn’t returned from the lair. He explained that the boy had drawn the monsters' attention away from them and disappeared.
Meln acknowledged this and informed the party still inside the lair using a communication orb.
After that, there was nothing more Rowan could do.
It frustrated him greatly.
The only thing he could do was ask his master to rescue his comrade.
Rowan had known from a young age that he was gifted in magic.
He was stronger than his peers, and it was natural for him to be admired by those around him.
So, when Ria appeared, he resented her for taking away the attention that had always been his.
What mattered wasn’t just strength, but the attention and recognition that came with it.
