"Young Master Victor, you must stand up for me!"
Inside a heavily guarded, enormous manor, Derek wept and cried.
Opposite him sat a handsome young man, dressed in an expensive and luxurious suit, with an arrogant air about him. It was Victor Langford.
The day after Ryan left, Derek secretly evaded the Ashford family's surveillance, escaped Hollowmere, and headed to the center of Greyhaven as well.
Fearing an encounter with Ryan on the road, he changed his route. He suffered a lot along the way, but with the little money he had that hadn't been taken by the Ashford family, he finally made it to the city center.
Upon arriving in the city center, he did not go to the academy to register, because he simply could not afford the expensive tuition fees of the academy. Instead, he went directly to the Langford family mansion.
