Before they spoke, Ronin had assumed Bretton would try to show off in front of him, like a petty man drunk on a little power. But he was wrong.
Then, after Ronin refused his request, he thought Bretton would get angry, maybe even fly into a rage. But again, he was wrong.
So he decided to chat a little longer to figure out what this brother of his was really thinking.
After their conversation, Ronin had a completely new understanding of Bretton.
In Bretton's eyes, Wushan Castle's predicament was caused by two main factors:
First, Lurans's deteriorating health. Second, Wiggin's lack of strength.
In summary, Wushan Castle had lost the person who served as its martial pillar, leading to its unstable position.
Bretton had aspired to become a powerful warrior since he was a child. This desire became even more urgent after he once overheard some nobles in the corner of a banquet privately mocking Wiggin for his incompetence.
