Chapter 13

Summary
Kage manages to evade the soldiers and returns to the man's by the morning. He is upset that Kage returned and kicks him out. In the evening, the man goes to a tavern and gets into a fight. He is stabbed and he bleeds to death, regretting his cruelty to Kage.

In the morning, Kage tries to find the man but is told he was killed and buried. Kage is saddened and sets out again.

Kage tells Bebin that, soon after, King Bo died from an illness. Chancellor Geslan, the one who had been closest to him, became king and thus the Kingdom of Geslan came into being. He insists that he only wanted to support Bojji.

Bebin asks Bojji about Kage and Bojji explains that he's a friend. He says that he is relaying a message and that Kage will be going on a long journey and will never see Bojji again.

Bojji is saddenened but considers that Bebin may try to harm Kage instead of Kage having abandoned him. He searched the castle for him.
