Accepting the reward couldn't have been the case as Bonar was the one who had caused the annihilation of the Central Empire.
"No. Everything happened swiftly, the battle between Bonar and the maid, the awarding of the reward right after the battle, the Ice Queen showed her desire for Bonar. But, right in front of the whole world, that is, the Central Empire, Bonar rejected her. But, he did not only reject her." Eldorin spoke as an exciting look appeared on his face.
Even though he knew what happened next, he couldn't hold himself back as the what Bonar did, only a true man could do.
And, a true man was a man who could display his love, his romance towards the one who catches his eyes, and the intention to make her his.
"He went right for the defeated maid and helped her up before asking her name. You know how the maid replied?" Eldorin asked like a little kid trying to get someone deeply involved in his story telling, but Eldorin was a step too late.
