"The pressure you have to face? When did it become my problem? And wasn't it you who suggested I remain in hiding?" Annoyance was apparent in Alfin's tone. "If the world thinks I am dead then they will stop their pursuit of me or something along the lines. You even promised to find the core of the death spore treant but it's been a year already. If it was my request to the world. I probably would have obtained it by now. But I remained silent thinking you can do it."
"And congratulations but you proved me wrong. Putting trust in you after the last time was a mistake."
The words of Alfin were scathing and Wilkis just now knew how much Alfin felt. Last time, either due to guilt over needless deaths or something else, he was able to make up his mind easily.
But the same was not true for now as time has changed Alfin.
His current life may be peaceful. But fulfilling it was not, the only thing driving him forward was his research.
