As Rein flipped through the pages, his facial expression alternated between frowning and relaxing.
Finally, he let out a long sigh and began to ponder deeply.
It turned out that Adams, unlike the roguish wizard apprentices like Endri who became involved halfway, had a relatively orthodox background.
According to the diary, Adams had once been a wizard apprentice to Solin Bergman, the advisor to Duke Louis of the Dragan Empire, many years ago.
However, the young and impetuous Adams eventually became involved with the Duchess Catherine, wife of Duke Louis, but the affair was quickly exposed and secretly relayed to Duke Louis by one of Catherine's personal maids.
Fortunately, Adams, sensing something was amiss, discovered the squadron of knights sent to capture him.
Adams believed that if he were caught by the furious Duke Louis, his life would not be spared, and moreover, he harbored resentment towards his mentor Solin for not protecting him.
