I'm really curious to see how puck's character is developed. because i don't quite remember where i saw him mention it but didn't puck proclaim himself the king of the chestnut? and in the latest chapter the other elf made a reference to not believing that the king of that chestnut was so powerful. it made me think that the second elf must not have a lot of respect for him. could puck be lying about why he left elfhelm? could he be the king of elfhelm and this would set up Guts up for disappointment when he reaches the homeland? i'm sure this theory has a bunch of holes, but it's food for thought, and ravaging theorists... ;D
