Baron Roman left Red Castle, as he needed to return to his estate, taking Mr. Ross back with him to apologize at Red Castle.
However, he couldn't decline the position of Finance Minister at the moment, so his elder brother Roland would temporarily fill in for him.
This also meant that Roland couldn't accompany Russell to Blackgarden Mountain to visit Rolin, who was about to give birth.
"Please apologize to Rolin for me, I should be the one to visit her, but with father gone, someone has to take over the duties of the Volcanic Minister," Roland has been quite subdued these past few days, not nearly as lively as before.
It seemed that Russell's impending title of Flying Dragon Knight had hit him hard, making him appear somewhat listless, but on the other hand, he had also become much more mature and steady.
"Official duties are important. You stay at Red Castle with peace of mind, taking care of father's worries. I will be enough to visit sister on my own," said Russell.
