But Ofelia knew that if he left directly, he might be suspected by the "Advisory Council" of seeking supporters abroad. In that case, his friends might face calamity.
So, in front of everyone, he had no choice but to publicly renounce all his claims to inheritance. And before the men sent by his father could find him, he secretly boarded a ship and fled.
This "escape" also subjected his friends to ridicule.
Even though Ofelia, as a member of the treasure ship "Silver," became a part of an epic saga sung by people... those who once knew him never thought this was something to boast about.
Being able to board the "Silver" was the utmost honor for a bard.
Many bards would not see or experience as many wonders and extraordinary stories in their lifetimes as he did in one voyage. The various tunes he adapted and the stories he wrote were also scattered around the world with the "Silver."
Although not recognized by anyone outside of Selicia.
