Chapter 148: Repaying one's debt

Rohan got out of the city at high speed. He wasn't confident enough to have the ability to flee from an Advanced Warrior, even if he was only a rank 11. That was why he had accepted the plan of Delia as it permitted him to put the greatest distance between the two without this powerful warrior knowing about his escape.

The initial plan was to leave quietly under the carriage with the company of Delia, and slowly disappear in the forest, but the risk was too high for Delia and his family. There was no way Rohan would accept to put his friend in such danger. Thus he had decided to show himself earlier, showing to the guards that Delia was only a hostage.

That wasn't perfect, but from there, it was at Delia's turn to make something believable. Rohan was sure he could do it. Anyway, Delia would talk so much that all the warriors wouldn't want to ask him anything anymore. And although his father was only a viscount, all the noblemen were pretty much behind him.
