#11 Knights (5)
Time flows like a stream, and it is already the end of the first month of the new year.
Elric was able to face Veron only after spending quite a long time talking confidently to Tyria.
It was exactly the day before the knight swearing-in ceremony.
You need to prepare your mind… I heard the reason, but in the end it was an excuse.
In the end, it was a lot of fear.
Elric finally realized that on the day he visited Old Herman’s forge alone.
“Jongja, do you really want to do it?”
I thought it was a really difficult word.
However, if keeping the shadows of the past by your side was such a scary thing, isn’t it really nothing special after doing it?
In the end, it was all the more frightening because he tried to run away like he said on his own.
Veron was not that child soldier.
How disappointing is that fact.
“really… ?”
Veron, as if he couldn’t believe it, let out a dreamy smile.
Then, her scarlet eyes burned brightly.
“Don’t you like it?”
“I hate it! great! So good! grandfather!!!”
“okay! I heard too. Hey!”
It’s really sweet to see grandsons hugging each other and being happy.
I’m just looking at it, so I’m running around so much that I wonder if I’m going to fall backwards.
A laugh came out.
Now Elric saw something different in his face.
Instead of a child soldier who collapsed with resentment on the battlefield, he was a young self who dreamed of becoming a knight.
Yes, it would suit Elric Portman, the prodigal son of Wee Bin, to see him like that.
“Oh! Elric tongue… no! Lord! Can I attend the swearing-in ceremony next week? What about the outfit? Do I wear armor too?!”
“Your inspiration knows better than I do. Old man, please bring your grandson to the swearing-in ceremony in great shape.”
“Ah, trust me! It’s not because he’s my grandson, he has the physique to wear heavenly armor!”
“Look forward to it. then i’ll go See you next week, Veron.”
I got up with a cane and stood up.
The step back is quite light.
Is it because the knee has entered a full-fledged recovery period?
‘… no.’
Because now I can just ignore it.
It’s because he’s trying to live tomorrow shamelessly even after killing the boy and his father and countless others.
Without hesitation, I wished for such a thing.
Elric fiddled with the dagger in his bosom.
Will the day come when I can throw this away?
Will there come a day when the past will no longer hold me back?
I thought that such a day would never come, but for some reason my thoughts are changing.
Steps become more hasty.
Because that kind of heart is only going to one person.
“ma’am!”
I could see Tyria in the mansion flower bed in the distance.
Elric burst out laughing.
Tyria nodded briefly.
“Did you finish your business well?”
Elric replied.
“Now I can finish it.”
It was the answer that he spat out laughing like a child proud of his achievements.

Again, time passed, and now it was the day of the knight appointing ceremony.
A grand festival that has not been seen in decades took place in Wibin’s estate, which had a very boring time this winter.
article.
Although the times have changed and its light has faded, it is a name that still retains its grandeur.
The sword of the lord, the shield of the lord, and the power of the lord.
Who is in Wibin who does not look up to that romance?
As such, the central square of the manor was densely packed with people.
Everyone is preparing to greet the new knight of Yeongji.
such a pleasant day.
If I had to pick people who would not like this festival, I could name two.
One is the Yubin family, the former lord family, plus one.
“Aigoo, it’s my sales person.”
I will be the party to receive the article.
“Aigoo… !”
thud! thud! Danal hit Full Plate’s chest and made a sound of pain.
It wasn’t just that.
Before being appointed as a knight, all the assassins from the Ferdine branch of Wolyeong were building statues of bamboo, creating the atmosphere of a mourning house.
You’re here at last!
The day when I can fulfill the slave contract with my own feet is finally here!
“leader… !”
Danal, who had become the leader of the knights, felt his heart become sensitive to the call of his subordinates.
I get angry, but I can’t bully innocent subordinates.
what will you do in the end
“Guys, you have to live.”
It is to close your eyes and leave the same words as a will.
Danal thought.
Ah, how will the evil Sword Demon Kasha deal with us?
How many times do you have to wear the name of a knight and do things worthy of a knight?
I couldn’t help but think of the fearful future.
What is a lord!
From now on, it is a general term for those in power who wage a dirty war under the surface, even though they direct a wise leader who takes care of the territory.
Wouldn’t it be very unlikely that what they would do in the fierce quarrel would be knightly?
Even more so, the lord was the sword demon Kasha.
I’m going to roll to the bone again.
Danal, who did not know that Elric had no thoughts, wanted to hang himself right away.
It was such a moment.
“Forgive me for being late!”
A booming voice echoed through the barracks.
When I turned my head, a full-plate boy with a youthful face and a rice cake stick was entering the barracks with a bright smile.
‘Ah, that guy is that seed.’
What do you mean?
Are you saying that he should also be made an assassin, or that he should move secretly?
No, in fact, isn’t that guy also a supervisor?
Danal was obsessed with suspicion.
“Oh, are you here?”
“This is Veron, who will receive the seed! My grandfather is the best blacksmith of this Wibin… !”
The appearance of self-introduction without being asked seems to have a strong military discipline.
Passionate.
In Danal’s mind, the possibility that that boy was Kasha’s ear dropped slightly.
“It is an honor to meet you! Thank you again!”
Veron bowed his head 90 degrees.
The former Wolyeongs exchanged glances with each other and continued their discussion.
‘What should I do?’
‘What can I do, only he became pitiful.’
‘He’s too young, so shouldn’t we let him out of here?’
‘Then what if Kasha hears that we bullied him?’
‘God, I’m not trying to bully you… .’
‘Arthur. Is that Kasha a bit vicious?’
For now, let’s pretend we don’t know each other.
It was about to come to that conclusion.
“By the way, everyone is so amazing! You seem to be still young, but you’ve become a great knight! All the armor looks good on you too! Will I ever be able to match this armor?”
Passion, desire, and longing.
The hearts of all the Wolyoungs were inclined to the light of Veron, a naive country youth.
It was mainly sympathy.
‘leader… Is he too nice?’
‘The possibility of Kasha’s ganja… .’
‘What is Ganja! That evil kasha will definitely have us train her as an assassin! He’s a scapegoat!’
Ricky, who had a lot of lingering among his subordinates, asked to reconsider.
Danal’s heart weakened.
From noble mtl dot com
‘… Yeah, if we really put that kid in to train him as an assassin… !’
A body that has already washed its hands in the assassination industry.
Can the evil chain continue again?
It can’t be.
Danal was seized by a strange sense of justice that even he himself did not know the reason for.
It would be safe to say that it is a wicked habit of human beings who can sympathize with others only when they become weak.
Danal stood up and put his hand on Veron’s shoulder.
“boy.”
“Yes, yep!”
“Let’s run away now.”
“… yes?”
“I will wait for the painful days. You may regret today’s event for the rest of your life. So I’ll give you a chance. run away.”
Danal’s expression became quite strict and solemn.
However, his way of speaking became a problem.
“Danzaaang… !”
Well, he could only see something in his eyes, Veron caught a glimpse of his sense of responsibility as a knight in his solemnity.
Veron’s chest grew hot.
“Even so, I will persevere!”
thud!
Veron knelt down and looked up at Danal.
“Because that’s a knight!”
Danal’s stomach was filled with compassion.
“… Foolish bastard.”
He couldn’t bear to see Veron right away, so he turned his head.
He didn’t know that this also seemed to Veron the dignity of a knight and the cool bitterness of an adult.
The misunderstanding was deepening.
*
Elric came out to the town square and was continuing his knighthood with the former Wolyoungs.
It’s the order. He finishes his boring speech and shows his cool appearance to the villagers gathered here.
And the long-awaited inauguration ceremony ended with the sword being placed on the shoulder of the person to be knighted.
Now was the order.
Elric’s stomach felt a little uncomfortable.
‘I wonder why these guys are shaking their bodies like this.’
Did you know that in a place like this where there are so many people, you can catch and eat them?
Every time he put the sword on his shoulder, his complexion turned blue and flinched, which was not nice to see.
You can’t see it from the villagers’ eyes, but if you continue to react like this, you might be suspicious of Tyria behind you.
Elric pressed the sword a little harder to mean that he should be careful.
“Eh… .”
Danal’s lips trembled.
Elric sighed.
‘I wonder if these guys can do good articles… .’
Elric, who clicked his tongue inwardly, did not know.
That the reason why they were so frightened was the fear that they might really be decapitated.
anyway,
“With this, the ordination ceremony is over! Starting today, the knights of Wibin’s estate! I declare that the Seolyeong Knights have been officially established!”
“Waaaaa!!!”
In any case, the ceremony was successfully completed.
