Albrecht's Chronicles

Ever since that day, Albrecht has been running through the woods with his children, pulling out his sword and proclaiming as if he were some sort of military commander. But I'm tired of these role-plays soon. Now that I'm an adult, I thought these kids were childish. I needed something more stimulating.

I caught a small beast and slaughtered it. I felt something creepy and exciting. Before I had my sword, I used to roast and kill small animals with my children, but killing them with my sword felt completely different.

Killing was definitely the same thing. When I broke my neck, skinned my stomach, cut my intestines out, and baked them, it was more cruel in some ways, but it felt like 'catching’. But when I cut him alive with my sword, I felt like I was "killing him."

However, I became numb after slaughtering the small animals a dozen times.

It wasn't a sword for this kind of work, and I didn't learn martial arts. Albrecht thought, what would it feel like to slaughter a man?

Albrecht was always riding around with his children in his sword, but he never had an accident like before. I thought I should act like an adult because I had a grown-up ceremony. Besides, there's a sermon my father never tried.

But it was too free. Albrecht ran through the woods until he was tired of his monstrous stamina and tried to axe the tree until his muscles hurt, but it was free.

Then I came up with an idea. If the opponent picks on you first, why don't you ask for a duel? Combat killing was not a sin. It was a common rule throughout the continent.

It is said that there are all kinds of crimes committed when we leave the territory, but at least in the territory controlled by the Lord, the Lord was the law. He was not hesitant to punish brutally for such acts as murder, robbery, theft, violence and rape.

This hasn't happened since I was born, but people say that my father used to be really scary. Nevertheless, it was only because they treated their father fairly that the people feared him.

Anyway, to legally kill a man, we had to settle. Albrecht, who thought this way, tried to stir up trouble against the colonists.

At first, I grabbed someone else's egg openly and trampled or deliberately trampled on the crops I was raising. However, they were all afraid and did not react. Then I went into someone else's house, ate whatever straw I could, and searched the house. If I came out with silver coins or fairy tales, I confiscated the tax without paying it properly.

It was a bunch of babies who were excited. I went around harassing women, beating people up, or breaking into other people's houses.

I've been doing this for months. The ranking of the attack is getting higher. In fact, I forgot about the duel and was just drunk from the taste of the bell.

One day in October, Albrecht was sitting on a tree just below the peanut bank near the peasant farm that had fallen away from the lord. Nearby, the children surrounded a girl in the middle, harassing and harassing her.

It's getting worse and worse than it can be seen as a kid's joke. A few colonists stare at you from afar, sadly, and suddenly you hear someone speaking.

“You're no better than a bandit. ”

Albrecht glances at the sound of words. A young man was looking this way. Albrecht looks a little scared when his eyes meet, but he's pretending to be desperate.

Albrecht asked me to come here with my hands. The young man tried his best to show that he did not struggle.

“What did you just say? ”

“You said you were no different from the bandits. ”

“Oh, look at this motherfucker. Are you out of your mind? ”

Albrecht's speech has been completely different from that of the minefield for months.

He was a good listener at home, and he was living double lives as a gangster outside. It wasn't true.

“Reflect on your actions. It was hard for people to accept. If you keep doing this, I'll have to tell the Lord. ”

“You're not the one who dares to speak up. And you dare threaten me? Why are you bothering him? If you have a complaint, try to stop me yourself with your strength like a man. ”

The man had nothing to say. We want to fight openly, but how can we touch the Lord's son? Moreover, I could not win with strength. I saw Albrecht carry a log by himself lightly on his shoulder. I also saw a sword boasting in front of a group of children, but it was not unusual.

The children stopped harassing the girl and saw their leader confront the adults. I felt something was getting worse.

No one has ever treated their behavior like this. I was embarrassed because it was the first time, but I also felt Qataris when I saw Albrecht standing up to the adults.

The territories who were looking at their children's behavior from afar soon grew more and looked at the situation with worried eyes.

Then one of the paleontologists said,

“Commander, it's the lord. There.”

You can see Burkhardt returning to the castle as he looks around the perimeter of the territory from afar.

I had to go meet my father. Albrecht stares at the man fiercely. As I went back, I turned around and told the man.

“What's your name? ”

“Erik.”

* * *

Erik was not originally from the area. He said he was from the south, but no one knew exactly where he was from. He and a cow came into the territory alone and settled down with Burkhardt's permission.

The colonists were wary of outsiders, but they had no choice but to accept it once the Lord's permission had fallen. I made you a cabin to live in temporarily. Erik thanked me and thanked me for helping him with the field or helping him with his work.

Erik also worked hard at the lumber yard, which is his duty as a colony. People opened their minds gradually.

Erik also drank beer with people. He still hasn't told me about his origins, but he has told me many things that he has seen coming all the way from the south.

People listened and seriously listened, and were surprised or distrustful.

That way, Erik takes up residence on the territory and works hard. I really tried to build my own field. So for Erik, cows were his most important asset. I did not treat cows as animals, but took care of them with all my heart like a family.
