Impending Doom

After Ian had dinner with his mom and Lyra, he made an excuse and walked toward his father's quarters again. He was so busy just after returning that his mood was somehow affected.

While walking along the corridor, Ian began to think about the little information he had read in the novel Arcane Passage. 

As far as he knew, the novel only mentioned that Wizard Ethos attacked his family and killed Duke Eldric, but he wasn't sure about the reason and could only guess. 

Still, Ethos didn't kill everyone but instead exiled them out of power. So, Ian wasn't dead in the story. 

'He must have threatened Eldric with the lives of his family,' Ian thought with cold eyes.

Although his father didn't say it, he knew he was already at the Grand Knight Realm. So, it wasn't easy for an old, dying wizard to kill him, especially in this barren place where mana was scarce. 

And if given time to prepare, Eldric could kill him easily with human sea tactics.
