As it was now, Nelson had been unable to make Violet his woman in the cave. Clara's appearance was nothing less than a wrench in their carefully orchestrated plan.
Before Clara could unleash her fury with her fists that contained the power to level the hill, Nelson came back to his senses and chose the only path to survival he could think of.

He ran with all his might because his life depended on it. Unlike Jack, Nelson was neither good at magic nor was he very good in terms of agility. As a rich heir to the Hunter family, he had lived a very pampered life and had never felt the need to improve his personal ability. Therefore, he wasn't much different from a privileged commoner who had been protected from all kinds of dangers by an entourage of mages and warriors.
