Biography

Lont's healer becomes an instructor

He later answers James's summons despite complaining about the interruption to his private life, then trains Princess Aila in both Life Magic and self-defense. Under his teaching she becomes a concealed Battle Mage, demonstrating that Owen's contribution is not merely healing wounds but preparing others to survive combat. In the after-story William still treats Owen as a genuine expert whose advice can help the next generation. (Chapters 30–103, 741–752, 1470)
