Garen noticed that Roland was prepairing to run away and followed his movements closely. As soon as Roland started to rush into the forest Garen, even though he was wearing his full armor and carrying his heavy broadsword started following right behind him. He even managed to catch up to Roland whho upon seein this threw some sand into Garens eyes. Garen beeing blinded by the sand started swinging his sword around him, cutting down tree after tree. While Garen regained his eyesight he shouted after Roland "You can hide but I will get you" and started running after him. "God why is he so persistent?" was the only thing coming to Rolands mind as he continued running deeper and deeper into the forest. He came to a clearing surrounded by trees which stood so close together that you couldn't squeeze through them so the only exit was the entrance. Roland could do nothing but wait for Garen and as he finally appeared he ran towards Roland while shouting "No escape now you dirty scoundrel!" Roland, again, threw his last grains of sand at Garen which worked shortly and blinded him for a couple of seconds but he regained his sight quickly. But as Garen looked around Roland was gone. "I know what you look like. You won't get away the next time I see you!", having ushered those words Garen left the clearing seemingly going back to the mansion to look into what Roland was doing in there.
"Luckily I prepared this beforehand..." Roland muttered while opening a secret hatch in the clearing and crawling out of it. He got away with stealing from the mighty Garen. Sure there were some complications but he managed to push through and got his trophy. "Time to go home". Roland reached his house safely after that and opened his secret stash. He hung the sword on the wall and admired his trophy once again and went to bed afterwards. "Ha! Not even the mighty Crownguard family is safe. I really thought they would have trained their guards better. But I gotta say, I am kinda embarrassed that a newbie guard spotted me. Maybe they should have him train the other guards haha." Roland slowly but surely fell asleep and with this a chapter in his life was finished...
