Shining Knight (12)

At the sound of sharp metal hitting each other, Judy and Smith looked at the alley where Caden had disappeared.

“Ah.. no.. no..!”

Smith began to struggle to untie the rope. Judy Ice finally let go of his desperate move. She, too, was concerned about Kaden and was unable to catch Smith.

“please..! please let it go! I’m not lying..! You can’t even hear the fighting over there!”

“…………

In the end, even Judy drew her sword. Smith groaned and screamed.

– Tuk.

The rope that bound Smith to Judy’s sword breaks. Freed in an instant, Smith looked at Judy, then turned without saying a word and began to run away.

Shortly after Smith turned his back and ran, Judy also rolled. Quite the opposite of the direction Smith left. She ran in the direction the sound of battle was coming from.

“Kayden…!”

Judy entered the room where the sound of men’s groans, the sound of things breaking and falling, and the horrifying screams of iron rang out.

The pungent smell of iron in blood filled the room. Judy came in and couldn’t do anything.

Because there was nothing to see. There was only one candle illuminating the room, but when a dark figure obscured in front of it, there was nothing that Judy could discern.

At that moment, he heard someone running towards him.

Judy raises her sword and takes a defensive stance.

Soon, as the sound reached the range of the sword strike, Judy swung her sword.

She had no reason to wield her sword, other than the fact that Cayden was fighting inside it.

“Great!”

It felt like the sword was cutting something, and the running figure fell at Judy’s feet.

The man who had fallen was holding his chest and moaning, embracing the new scar.

After kicking away the dagger in his hand, Judy shouted into the room.

“Kayden! I can’t help you because I can’t see anything!”

Instead of an answer, only the confused screams and shouts of numerous men returned.

Judy felt faint.

Is Cayden really fighting alone in this place?

It’s Judy who hasn’t gotten used to the dark yet, but even if she gets used to it, it doesn’t seem like she’ll see much. Is he fighting in this situation? Alone against all these people?

No matter how good he was, he didn’t know it would be this good. I never thought I could fight so many people alone in the dark.

Of course… again, I don’t know. You might just be suffering in this.

Judy blinked continuously to adjust her eyes to the darkness.

In the meantime, the sound of battle moves to the left and then to the right.

Gradually, around the time I started to get a clue as to how the figures were moving, someone else ran towards Judy.

Just as before, Judy swung her sword at the opponent who came within the range of the sword, judging by the sound, and another man fell in front of her.

This time, Judy kicked the man on the head. Next, the first man who fell, who was grabbing his chest.

Both were stunned and no longer a threat.

“..huh…huh…”

Judy blinked her wide eyes and moved one step further inward.

In this chaotic situation, he was blaming himself for his inability to help Cayden.

If so, why did you come here? If you can’t help Kaden, there’s no reason to come here.

Two steps deeper. Surrounded by darkness, the scent of sour men pierces the scent of blood unpleasantly.

Perhaps the enemies inside also recognized Judy who had entered the depths, or someone screamed and rushed to Judy.

She blocked his glimmering sword and let it flow. Immediately after, he hit his body strongly, breaking his balance, and then swung his sword and cut the opponent.

“after!”

When you try to find the next person without even thinking about it. the sound fades

– Clink!

Finally, a sudden silence came after the sound of the sword being released.

Judy looks inside the room in this sudden silence. He moved his body towards the wall to protect his back.

who won Is it Kaden or this gang? Judy had no choice but to gamble.

“…Kaden?”

She asks in the dark.

“…..okay.”

A familiar voice answered.

It was Judy who felt great relief when she realized that she and Kayden were the only ones standing up.

Judy approached the only waving human figure.

“Kayden…! Why did you do such a reckless thing..! You were supposed to solve the problem through conversation..!”

He said he had fought three times one-on-one, but Cayden fought one-on-one battles all at once. The difference in difficulty was that Judy didn’t have to say anything.

As Judy got close enough to Kaden standing there, the dark object suddenly fell on her.

“..uh..!”

The warmth felt immediately afterward. Is it Kaden? I never thought it was cold, but I can feel the warmth.

“……?”

But there was something strange about that warmth. It only flowed downwards, as if there was a direction.

Feeling strange the whole time, Judy touched the warm area with her hand.

Afterwards, I looked at the light with a shallow wave of my hand.

Judy’s hands were stained with red blood.

“..K..Kayden?”

“….Do not panic. It’s not my blood.”

Cayden said so, but the weight of Cayden leaning on him was only getting heavier. I dare to refute this saying, ‘It’s your blood.’ I couldn’t utter the word.

“Papa, let’s go back quickly. It will still be fine.”

Judy quickly set priorities. He needed a senator.

But Cayden stopped Judy.

“…Judy. I have something more urgent than that. This criminal organization…it seems to have touched children as well. I’m… going back to Rush. You can see that door over there.”

Judy looks at the old door right next to the candle.

She nodded in his arms.

“I heard the voices of children in there…? Could you please check it out?”

“…children?”

Judy was awakened by the word ‘children’.

“…so did you start fighting?”

“Somewhat. Will you check the door?”

“Wow, I’ll check it out. Kayden, are you?”

“You said Tell Rush…I’ll be back.”

“…can you go back?”

“…..then.”

Cayden made a squeaky noise and got up from Judy. As he fell, all the parts that felt warm came into contact with the air and approached him coolly.

He groaned and headed out the door. Judy didn’t hesitate to look at him like that. After confirming quickly, as he said, I felt I should help Kaden.

He wanted to follow Kayden, but as he said, if the children are involved in crimes, there is no way we can just leave it as it is.

She quickly ran to the door. I grabbed the doorknob and shook it, but it didn’t open, so I bumped my body several times and smashed the door.

-bang!

“Hey hey!”

Immediately after, someone tried to swing a sword at him. The light behind the door was bright. Seeing the figure straight, Judy stretched out his sword and pierced his wrist before he could even approach, and the man screamed, let go of his weapon and knelt down.

Judy hurriedly kicks him away. There was a staircase going down behind the man, so he rolls back and crashes to the floor of the basement, stopping to move.

Judy pulled out the torch hanging right next to the door and went down the stairs.

Then, a distant sight greeted her.

It was because, as Kaden had expected, many children were locked behind bars.

“……What a crazy…”

Judy comes out of nowhere without knowing it.

He knew that they were a criminal organization, but he didn’t know that they were so evil. Because no other criminal organization touches children.

It was only after facing them that I began to understand why Kaden had no choice but to draw his sword.

Judy realizes that things are not going to be resolved quickly.

Eventually she turned and ran outside.

If you have to prioritize, it’s Kayden. I don’t know how much he was hurt, so I had to look at it first.

He decided to visit the lawmaker first and leave the children in the basement to the village guards.

Because I got rid of all the people who would harm the children. Sadly, they seemed to have to wait a little longer.

She got out and ran to where Goldie and Rush had been tied up.

As the moonlight shined through the alley, I could see the blood drawn on the road.

If it weren’t for his blood, as Kaden said, there would be no reason to shed this long. he was hurt no doubt about it.

“..haha..!”

But where she arrived, Cayden was not there.

Only Goldie remains.

Rush also didn’t show up.

****

– Kung Kung Kung Kung.

late night.

Asena was lying on the bed, and woke up to the sound that disturbed her rest.

Still a messy room. All the power in the body is drained away.

– Kung Kung Kung Kung.

Someone was knocking on the dorm door.

Even though Asena was closing her door, her ears rang as if something was urgently knocking on the door.

who is it She woke up thinking it might be Kaden, but that it wasn’t, a fact she knew better than anyone else.

With her nerves sharpened, she becomes curious about the face of the other person. Who dared to knock on their door like that without fear?

Even then, it was more difficult than anything to instill the will to rise in a powerless body. Without the warmth of Cayden’s body, no strength could be found.

Now she was breaking down too. It’s never happened before, but Kayden isn’t coming. He doesn’t come to relieve his anger. Even if he noticed, he didn’t waver.

The fact that he is the only thing he can’t do his own way. Also, the fact that the only thing she wanted to do was that she was very funny.

This time, someone gently knocked on his door.

-smart.

‘sister…? I think someone is looking for us…’

It was Kirsey. In the end, Asena couldn’t help but get up.

– Profitable..

Powerlessly, he opens his door and walks out, passing Kirsi without a word.

If they didn’t find them for nothing, the opponent should be prepared.

Asena finally opened the door.

As soon as I opened it, a thick bloody smell came out.

“…?”

A girl in a white robe smeared with red blood looked at them with trembling eyes.

“F.. Meet Duke Freister and Kirsi-sama.”

Asena frowned. I was so nervous, I couldn’t put it into words.

After a brief greeting passed, the girl spoke without even breathing.

“Kaden Pryster is injured.”

Asena, who had hardened upon hearing those words, immediately checked the blood on the girl’s body, and the strength of her legs was relieved.

****

As she ran to Cayden’s room, Asena had to experience several times the strength in her legs loosened.

Seeing Asena falling over and over again, no one would have thought she was the dignified Duke of Freister.

She felt as if her intestines were melting at the sudden burst. A hot sensation flowed down from his chest, and his expression was also distorted.

Whether it was an illness, an accident, or whatever reason, the experience of losing a family wasn’t very special, but Asena knew that this would never happen again.

Tragedy can come to people once, but twice is rare. Could it be that God was not satisfied with the loss of his parents?

She couldn’t accept the situation.

he’s hurt

I haven’t been able to reconcile yet. I just sounded ugly. I couldn’t even reveal my true intentions, and the last conversations were only the sharp ones. Hopefully it will be the last day…

If even a lawmaker came and called him, he could see that the condition was serious. In fact, not only that, but the red-soaked legislator’s clothes and the blood that still hasn’t hardened and glistened on his forearms remind us of the seriousness of the situation. It was because the red traces were clearly Kaden’s, not anyone’s.

Kirsi asks a question while crying.

“Uh…how hurt are you? Are you okay?”

“…..”

The senator gave no reply. Not ignoring them, but as if they were afraid to answer them.

“I can’t answer quickly!”

Kirsey shouted. After making a vicious loud noise, it easily collapses again and weeps.

Asena didn’t want to believe anything until she saw it with her own eyes.

Kayden, who had been strong, could not have been hurt. Healthier than anyone in the world, he couldn’t have shed any blood. There was no way his support would have been broken.

This was something I had never even thought of.

okay. Asena had no doubts that he would greet them with a smile again. No, it’s okay not to laugh.

Even if he was still angry, Asena was determined to apologize. I was wrong all this time. I’m sorry.

As long as he’s still there, nothing matters.

‘Cause this can’t be the last Because this shouldn’t be the last thing I did.

In the distance, the destination began to appear.

‘aah..!’

At the same time, an unfamiliar, painful cry rang out from afar, from a familiar male voice.

Hearing that sound, Asena’s legs relaxed again. She falls to the ground, but then gets up again, trembling again.

maybe it’s lucky Because through the voice, I realized that Kaden wasn’t unconscious. He’s screaming in pain, but he’s conscious.

Ashena didn’t need anything else as long as he was alive. It didn’t matter if any part of his body became uncomfortable as long as he was alive.

But if he… somehow goes wrong.

Asena couldn’t figure out how to handle and release this feeling of despair and rage.

“Ahhhh…aah!!”

As we got closer, the scream of pain only grew worse. For the first time in her life, Asena was feeling so afraid that it was difficult to move her legs.

His heart was pounding as if it was about to explode, as he was not prepared for the situation that was unfolding before his eyes.

But you can’t stop here.

The twins entered the council room where Caden’s screams could be heard.

Cayden being treated under the red light was a mess.

For the first time in my life, I had to see Kaden’s face contorted in pain.

The whole body was covered in blood. From the face to the pants.

The top was naked, stitched here and there, and stitched again and again.

Cayden in such a horrendous form had never been seen before.

There were only three people holding him down. But even that was too much, they put all their weight on Cayden, but they kept shaking and shaking.

The lawmakers were shouting at him in a cluttered state.

who to kayden.

‘Wait a minute…! Almost everything is sewn!’

Who to fellow legislators.

‘When is the poppy juice coming!’

who to twins.

‘I’m really sorry, but you’re not allowed in! Please wait outside!’

They were all sounds that did not reach Asena as if a curtain had piled up. All she could see was Cayden.

His older brother, who was full of wounds. Judging from the blood he shed, his light seemed to fade away at any moment. His love that supported him and taught him what burning happiness was.

As the senator opened his wounds and slipped a needle into them, Caden lifted his upper body once more with bloody eyes.

“Ahhhh!!!”

Kirsi saw the scarred, red upper body, and eventually lost consciousness and collapsed.

-dump.

In the commotion, the eyes of the lawmakers, even Cayden’s trembling eyes, looked at them.

Asena and Kayden’s eyes met.

At that moment, I felt as if only the two of us were left in this space.

“….brother…”

Asena called Kayden. Really, it’s been a long time since I called. Tears flowed from Asena’s eyes involuntarily.

For some reason, it felt like he was moving further away than ever before.

Caden gasped and stopped screaming, clenched his teeth, and smiled a little at that.

“…awesome… Asena. I’m taking my brother out. Can you..?”

He said to Asena with eyes that seemed to be extinguished at any moment, with the expression he had shown when the twins of the past burst into tears.

The childish fight, in a form not everyone wanted, had already come to an end.
