Chapter 44 – Just Me and You, Reditha!
After Kaden's escape, everything looked the same inside the Forest of Eternal Sunshine.
The guards were doing their duties like always. The forest was still angrily hot. The sky still shimmered in that cursed golden hue, and the castle stood there untouched—radiant, eternal, unchanged.
Looking at it from the outside, you'd think Kaden's presence hadn't impacted a single thing.
But it did.
Because there were two people whose lives had been undeniably shifted.
Rome, because after what happened, he was now painfully aware of how weak he actually was, and how dangerous this world truly could be. Something he already knew, sure.
But there's a difference between hearing about something and living through it.
There's a difference between knowing…and understanding.
And now Rome understood.
And for the sake of his little brother—and for himself—
Rome vowed to become stronger.
As for Kaden?
"Who again?"
