Kapitel 148: Heroine is Absent

Lucan had always cherished his freedom, a life unburdened by responsibilities or the expectations of others. Yet, here he was, tangled in the intricate web of duties and expectations that came with being a teacher at the academy, and more significantly, with being Maris's guardian. The academy demanded much of his time—classes, assignments, and the constant need to maintain a certain image. It was a life far removed from the one he had envisioned, where he could do as he pleased, without the weight of duty pressing down on him.

But Lucan knew that such a life was a distant dream, especially now that he was under the watchful eyes of those who want to harm Maris. As a Maris's guardian, he was first person to get target. For now, Lucan wasn't too concerned; he was confident that his power would continue to grow, allowing him to deal with any threat that arose.
