In a state where all senses seemed to be sharpened, Marya noticed the appearance of several figures with strange movements from within her favorite pine forest. It was pure horror as the figures then dashed towards them in a frenzy. Ashaf is also aware of their existence. He wanted to sheath his words, but that wasn't his priority.
“Princess, let me carry you.” In a situation like this, it was Ashaf's duty to prioritize Marya, so he had no choice but to abandon the two weak women, and refrain from attacking.
His priority was Marya's safety.
"No! Make sure they are saved first!” Marya's order was predictable by Ashaf as he knows that Marya is a princess who cares for her people.
But with their current state, it seemed impossible to reach an area with many other guards before those monsters caught up to them. Even their distance from Dylan's battle area was not far.
“Aaaaaaa! Help me! Aaaaaa." Marya's lady-in-waiting and her m
Troops of soldiers came non-stop. They are like a colony of ants hunting for sugar.“Separate their heads from their bodies, then make sure their heads are crushed!” Maftah's screams of orders boomed loudly.“Understood, Your Majesty!” The soldiers quickly dealt with the monsters, even those near Dylan and Ashaf.Dylan just felt the thing called cooperation. Even though they didn't know each other, Dylan could entrust his back to Maftah's army of soldiers. He was grateful that he was still allowed to feel something like this.Ashaf makes his way to approach Maftah. He walked in the opposite direction of all the soldiers running around attacking the monsters. Even though he bumps hard at them multiple times, and makes his shoulders hurt, Ashaf keeps walking towards Maftah.“Your Majesty, what about Her Highness? Did he make it out safely?” Ashaf asked with a worried face. So did Dylan."... No, she is... in
--No Place Is A Safe Place--Dylan looked up at the darkening sky. The evening breeze had been replaced by a chilly wind that came down from the mountain. The moon has revealed its appearance and color, replacing the sun which is rarely seen today thanks to the rain.Dylan took a deep breath as he took firm steps forward. Then he packed up what was in front of him, maybe it was a handkerchief, a little dagger, and also crushed monster bones.He opened the bottle of water Ashaf had given him before the man left to continue his duty to look after Marya. There is a reflection of the moon on the surface of the water.'Fuschia, are you looking at the same moon as me?' Dylan thought longingly.He remembered that Fuschia had told him that the distance would be close as long as they could see the same moon. That's why Dylan looked up once more to enjoy the moon that night. Just in case Fuschia is also watching it at the moment.Dylan fastened his sw
The overcast night sky was covered by the swaying leaves and twigs. Even though he missed the moon – which Fuschia was probably looking at that night too. He always wanted to feel close to Fuschia, but the moon didn't show up.But he was quite grateful because the overcast clouds did not spill the water. Or the night will get darker.'Hayden, what was he thinking to get involved in a showdown with the Kingdom of Haddad? I don't feel any signs about him that is about to attack the Haddad Kingdom. Or am I the one who didn't catch the signs huh?'The sound of footsteps dragging the ground was heard approaching. Dylan looked to his left."Excuse me, sir, I want to ask you something." Faris knelt next to Dylan. His arrival, which seemed friendly, made Dylan even more on alert.Especially since Faris is the one who always enters his field of view during their fight against monsters."What is it?" Dylan is grunting but still raised his body t
With his long legs, Thebet made his way through several corridors at such lightning speed. Along with his rash steps, his heart also seemed to be racing with anxiety. The rain had passed since he had sent that woman home in disdain, but a thick cloud still shrouded his heart. All the bad feelings mixed into one. His guts were getting smaller as time passed.'Is this karma?' he asked himself. For some reason, he then recalled the angry look on Fuschia's face before he left her. The woman's figure looked big, even though Fuschia was a petite woman who didn't pose any real threat to him.But this bothered him quite a bit because he was sure that he didn't have to feel sorry for her. That what he was doing was the best thing for the welfare of the Kingdom he was protecting. After all, Fuschia had nothing to do with the existence of monsters barging into the palace grounds.'Yeah, it's just a terrible coincidence. I don't need to feel sorry for that woman.'Th
Awakening: the silence of the night was broken whether it had called or not, which must have woken her up from the deep sleep. Fuschia touched her eyes, rubbed them a few times to realize that she couldn't continue sleeping anymore. Clockwise it was half-past two in the morning. That meant she had only been asleep for an hour. Fuschia got up from her bed. Towards the large door which she let leave an opening for peeking. Maybe Dylan would come home and take a peek. But Fuschia felt a chill from the crevice room, meaning Dylan wasn't coming home again tonight. It's been the fifth day since Dylan hasn't come home, and hasn't said anything. How could a woman who had fallen into a deep sleep so far know that? Because for five days he had woken up at the same time to check the entrance, which he had deliberately marked with small chunks of ice. So, if someone were to enter through this door, a small chunk of ice would break. But that night, the chunk of ic
Sir Deedad and Faris had their backs to the pillars of the back wall of the knight's camp building within the palace."So what about that guy?" Sir Deedad asked Faris while smoking his cigarette.“He looks dangerous, but isn't he? I think I need more time to figure out who this person is.”“I see, even you are having trouble reading him. And, do you know why he is so knowledgeable about monsters?”"Yes, and no?" Faris tilted his head. He also didn't understand how he was being so indecisive. Even though he is a person who easily decides things based on calculations and wild instincts. So this is a rare moment.But those two things didn't seem to apply when he judged Dylan. That's where he felt lost.“Hey, be serious or a punishment will welcome you.” Sir Deedad bluffed."Oh please don't, Capt. It's just... I don't know. I can't seem to make a light decision about him. And he said that his knowledge
As he practices more, mingling with humans is not as heavy as he thinks.And as Sir Deedad said, Thebet was in the medical room. Dylan managed to find him after walking around for quite a long time in the wide royal palace."Sir Thebet, may I have a moment of your time, before I return to hunting monsters?" Dylan asked.As they are in a room full of people, many people pay attention to the interaction of the two men. Incidentally, Dylan had been a hot topic in the palace recently. But the person concerned is not aware of this.“Of course, Lord Dylan. With pleasure."And the 'Lord' call that was pinned in front of Dylan's name, made the people who were there gasp. This was a big deal when Sir Thebet even called him that way. But the person concerned himself did not heed the calls. To him, it's all the same.“Can we talk somewhere else?”"Of course. With pleasure.”After moving to another place, to be precise in the terra
Dylan manages to find Thebet in time before he departs to another monster subjugation's mission.“Haa, yeah, I guess so. Then, I have a favor for you to send this letter to Lady Sasha.” Dylan handed him a soft-pink envelope. Choosing a pink envelope was a challenge for Dylan.Thebet looked at the envelope, then he took it with both hands. Shows how much he respects Dylan's request just now.“Very well, Lord Dylan. I'll make sure this letter arrives at the lady's place.""Thank you. And if there is a reply, send it to me. And tell Maftah that I will eradicate all the monsters present, so he can calm down a bit.”Thebet nodded. "Please be careful out there, Lord Dylan."***It was the first night Dylan and his team had camped out in the woods to rest the bodies that had struggled for several hours battling monsters.Dylan brought his hunted animal, three chickens, for all the hungry soldiers. Although the
