"Married? And had children? Five?!"
Robin nearly shot out of his seat, his voice booming with surprise and delight. His smile exploded across his face, stretching from ear to ear as if he had just received the best news in a century.
"Tell me everything! Every detail, every twist — I want it all!"
Theo chuckled softly, clearly enjoying his father's sudden enthusiasm.
"Honestly, there isn't much drama to it... at least not on the surface. Peon did what you'd expected. After stepping away from the battlefield, he withdrew to the Jura Mountains without saying a word."
Theo's tone became more reflective.
"For a while, he refused to see anyone. No visitors. No letters. Just him and the wind that howled across the cliffs."
Robin leaned forward, completely invested.
