A day later.
"Father..."
"Don't start doubting your decision now, son. I for one accept it wholeheartedly."
"...Yes, father," Rudric Piyece said as he disembarked from the carriage and faced the mansion a short distance away.
His heart was pounding.
Conflict was strangling his morality and his well established values, not to mention his pride.
The six guards standing on both his and father's sides...
What would they think after hearing what the two were about to do right now?
Rudric gulped.
His father was the first to take a step in the direction of the mansion.
The Kinn Residence in Genhuis City.
Following Rudric's 'win' in his match against Vali Kinn in the first round of the Preliminaries, his father had nagged him about what the woman had told him before she surrendered the round to him.
The words had been hard to say as Rudric hadn't known what his father would think back then.
