338. Felix's Regret

"H-He… He stayed behind for us… They captured Felix!"

Sylvester sat down beside Gabriel and started using basic healing magic on him. He tried to keep himself as calm as possible to ensure he would make the best decision. "Tell me everything. And where are Bishop Lazark and Elyon?" 

"Bishop Lazark is safe. He went to the monastery to inform the Cardinal Suprima of the Duchy. Elyon got separated from us when we tried to rush back. He's probably somewhere in the mountains. But Felix… He stayed behind to ensure I could escape, but the last glimpse of him I saw was him being caught by the enemies," Gabriel said. 

Sylvester did not know why Felix would take such a drastic measure. He knew Felix was a great friend, one who could be trusted. But, giving his own life... that was new. "Why were you in there? Why didn't Felix use the Duchy's men as shields?"
