The ancient being also know to Ren as the fourth hero, looked at Valdel in amusement. To him looking at Valdel was like looking at himself back in the days he was hailed as a hero. The fourth hero had already taken notice of those honest eyes that could only see justice, the same eyes he had back then could now be seen in Valdel.
He then looked at the knights that were about to attack Valdel. It was obvious to the fourth hero that the hero in front of him was being played by an aristocrat of sorts. This was the usual pattern, a play that all heroes go through.
It could be because of the betrayal of a friend. It could also be because a nobleman took a liking to the hero's childhood friend. It could also be because a royal member felt threatened by the hero's power. There were many more reasons that could be said, still no matter the reason, this was an inevitable scene in the script called the hero's life.
