Synopsis

The chapter opens with the discovery that the father's coin reserves are stable, indicating a deep internal struggle linked to his legendary knight status. This manifests as a "Demon of the Mind" which traditional healers and divine magic cannot fix. The son, upon noticing his father's weakened state, uses a special elixir after diagnosing him and pledges to find a cure. The chapter ends with the revelation that the father's malady is not a simple mana issue, and the son insists on tackling the core issue.
