Ulric observed his reflection in the full-body mirror Leone had bought from the Arcane Shop.
Although his body had become less bulky, he could feel that he was stronger than ever. There was one more striking change. It seemed like he had aged in reverse by ten years, looking like he was about thirty when his actual age was forty.
Yuni even teased him, saying he could marry again if he wanted and that it would be a waste of her father's good looks otherwise.
Her words only made Ulric smile wryly. He hadn't told Yuni that her mother was still alive and that he just didn't know her whereabouts.
Unavoidable circumstances had forced her to leave them. Had she stubbornly stayed with him, the Alborin Tribe could've faced a danger they couldn't handle.
Ulric turned away from the mirror and went out to check on the monster sleeping at the corner of the cave. There, a Dire Bear the size of a car was sleeping peacefully.
