Duke Maverick did not realize Rowan's intentions until he was pushed out of the dungeon. He was in disbelief and denial yet he could not do anything about it.
Rowan pushed him out of there but he did not consider that even after his sacrifice, he would not be able to escape safely. He could not even walk. Even if he hid himself in some corner, for how long could he do that?
The sense of powerlessness overwhelmed him as his body fell.
He closed his eyes, the remaining hope that he had slowly left him.
Suddenly, a tingling sensation seeped into his hands, spreading through his body.
His eyes snapped open as his body started floating in the barrier between the sea and the dungeon.
Duke Maverick was shocked. He tried to move his hands but his movements seemed restricted.
He looked down and found his wheelchair disappearing from his vision as it fell deeper.
Just as he was about to try to move again, his body jolted.
