The Escape

It did put Benjamin in a weird position as he stood before Dick, pretending to be a stranger, asking for gold coins and food.

His original plan was simple.

The Fulners had unimaginable wealth. Apart from the Church, no one was richer than them in the whole Kingdom. Although Benjamin did not understand why the eldest son of the Fulner family ended up in a tiny village, but surely his net worth was still among the top.

That was why when Benjamin spotted Dick, he instantly saw the solution to his food problem.

After the annihilation of the mages at the theatre, Benjamin deduced the Fulner family’s secret - they had been in contact with the Academy of Silence.

Although he was not sure if the contact was still ongoing, it did not matter. Benjamin could take advantage of Dick from this conclusion.
