"Don't worry, maybe the captain is already waiting for us at Bloodforge Castle, just a few more days..."
Uriah kept a low profile, trying to ease the tension with his teammates.
But Tree Creek maintained silence, not responding a word, simply marching forward... until he heard the mention of the word "Captain".
"Captain!?"
The Half Elf abruptly stopped, turning around.
On the cold face was an uncontrollable anger.
"How do you have the guts to mention Captain Gretchen?"
"If she had been the one casting magic on the field, what do you think she would have chosen?"
"Would she have sacrificed her teammates to save herself, like you?"
Tree Creek's sudden outburst left Uriah momentarily stunned.
His mouth opened and closed, as if wanting to argue.
But hearing such questioning, his lips twitched, ultimately unable to utter a single word.
After all, he knew that Tree Creek was not wrong.
