บท 35: Court Games - Part 13 - The Wolf's Son

Averon, a commoner born to a peasant woman, lived a simple life as a sculptor, following in the footsteps of the man he called "father." From a young age, he carved wood with the same precision and dedication his adoptive father had taught him, transforming raw blocks into beautiful pieces that adorned the homes of nobles and temples in the region.

Since childhood, Averon had harbored great dreams. He spoke with enthusiasm about earning a lot of money to help his parents and sisters, who worked hard to support the family. With the desire to honor his father's legacy, he dreamed of expanding the modest workshop, turning it into a grand store in the capital where his sculptures could be appreciated by all. Averon believed that with hard work and perseverance, he could achieve this goal and, thus, make his parents proud.
