Once, in the Redburn Ducal Estate, Duke Roderus Redburn lifted a teacup reflecting the moonlight and spoke.
"Do not live a life bound to the family, Enbers."
Enbers was startled. Was he being cast aside as Roderus' right hand? He hurriedly apologized for failing the cargo escort mission.
But... there had been someone in need along the way. He had no choice.
Roderus let out a small chuckle.
"That’s exactly the point. You prioritized something else over the family’s affairs. I’m not angry, Enbers. I’m simply talking about different ways of life."
People are born with inherent dispositions.
Even something as trivial as a coin dropped on the ground would lead to vastly different reactions from different individuals.
- Ditching Luna after promising to meet at the Tower of Trials.
- Running back home to work under his brother at the first sign of trouble.
- Bailing on her again before an Academy tournament despite already making plans.
