Bab 229: Who Doesn't Have Any Hidden Trump Cards?

Roland already knew what Kaka had sent to cause his death.

His own derivative spell.

Roland didn't think it was his fault, and he didn't think that Kaka's death was in any way related to him. He didn't do anything wrong by giving something to a friend—what could be wrong with helping a friend? The only people at fault were the evildoers who were greedy and wanted to take other people's property or gain from their ruin.

He simply felt that it was his miscalculation for not considering that the headquarters' chairman would get greedy about this derivative magic.

But neither he nor Kaka had any idea that the Bards were being surrounded in those days.
