Chapter 58

“He’s your son too, father, what are you saying?”

“I’m saying that he’s weak, it won’t make a difference if he joins the war, he’ll drag you down more than he’ll help.”

“He’s not weak and even if he was, I’d still accept his help. This is why he ran away in the first place, this is why he abandoned us!”

“That’s why you should get out! Take your rogues with you, get them off my land.”
