Shining Knight (14)

– Tick Tick.

Early moning. Shalon was getting ready to put on clothes, but stopped at the sound of a knock.

She could not have predicted who would come to her from such an early age.

Just preparing enough to welcome the guests in a hurry, she opens the door.

“…Asena-sama.”

As soon as she called Asena, Asena rushed into the room.

Shalon took a step backwards so as not to touch Asena’s body, and hit her ass.

Her escort, Judy Ice, followed Asena. Like Asena, she had a hard face.

No, to say the same thing… Asena’s face was filled with anger.

But the stillness was as if caught in the eye of a storm. It wasn’t that simple, Shalon knew as soon as he saw Asena’s face.

Sharon wasn’t an idiot either, so the moment she saw Asena’s face, she knew why she had come to her.

maybe you found out That Ewin and Daisy have been ordered to watch.

At the same time, it was also confusing.

Of course, even if he acted arbitrarily without Asena’s order, this level of anger was unexpected. Rather, I thought I was going to get compliments for having been preparing first.

As Shalon, who had fallen, got up on her leg again, Asena called out to Judy.

“…Judy. Get out for a while.”

Judy paused for a moment at Asena’s command. In Shalon’s eyes, Judy seemed to want to be here too. Likewise, because I was angry with myself. Things were happening at an incomprehensible speed.

But in the end, Judy obeyed Asena’s orders. She turned and left the room.

And with a vaguely strong force, the door was closed.

-thud.

Asena’s snake-like eyes stared at Shalon.

Sharon asked first.

“…Asena-sama, why is it so early…”

“Shalon. By any chance, what did you do while ignoring my words?”

“…..”

“….answer quickly. I don’t have much patience left.”

“…yes. I did.”

-match!

Sharon’s cheeks turned rough. When I woke up, she was looking to the side.

Shalon blinked and looked at the perpetrator of this embarrassing act.

“…for now, I don’t have time. Follow. The later it is… the harder it will be for you.”

“……”

‘…Your brother…Kayden?’

Shalon’s head was getting more and more complicated. She looked up at Asena.

Asena was speaking in a shrill voice.

“…But, for your reckless behavior, you will definitely have to pay the price.”

****

Shalon’s legs were shaking from the moment he entered the room.

I saw Cayden, who was covered in scars, and it wouldn’t be strange to die soon.

She didn’t know how it happened, but it was obvious that she was involved.

Asena’s anger and Judy’s expression began to understand.

“…Shalon Payne.”

With that scarred body, Cayden kept her eyes straight and called out to her. It was a low-key voice, but his eyes were giving him momentum.

Shalon went straight to her knees.

Even if you still don’t understand. Even if the only thing he ordered was monitoring. If the results were like this, there would be nothing to say with even a hundred mouths.

“I’m sorry, Kaden. I never thought of doing something like this.”

Cayden looked at her and asked both the twins and Judy, who were standing behind them, to leave for a moment.

As they leave, Kaden speaks again.

“…I don’t think you have to ask if you’re right.”

“Kayden… I was just digging for information, I had no other intentions. Really. K… hurt Kaden-sama, or something like that…”

“I had no intentions…”

Cayden frowned for a moment as he spoke, then closed his mouth. He seemed to endure the pain for a while.

As she took a couple of deep breaths, Sharon kept making excuses.

“G.. How did Kaden-sama become like that now, I can’t even understand it in my honest opinion.”

“…Shallon. you tell me I see a gang watching over the master I serve. Then should I have stayed still until they attacked?”

“I had no intention of attacking-”

“How do I know that?”

“……”

“Even Ewin was watching. I’m protecting Daisy, so what about Ewin? Should I have left it alone?”

Shalon had to roll her head. At this rate, he would have to bear all the responsibility and face the coming punishment.

She lifted her head and looked at Kaden.

“K.. Kaden. I just wanted to be loyal.”

“…..”

“Ah.. Asena-sama cares about you two, so I just wanted to find out.”

“I know that.”

“…..Yes?”

“I heard from Miles. Miles knows? The leader of that criminal gang.”

“……”

“What I think… I don’t take it as an issue. The thought is bearable.”

Sharon’s head was slowly falling to the floor.

“…acting is the problem.”

To be honest, she was looking down on Kaden.

I had no choice but to do so. Before coming to the academy, I was only told by my siblings to take care of Asena and Kirsi. At that time, Kayden also didn’t say to serve well.

Because there were rumors about Kayden. Said it broke out of the family. As an adopted child, I am not a proper fryer.

And when I came to the academy, I was able to confirm that fact. That’s because rumors about him have been floating around.

Of course, Sharon knew a lot of information about the academy, but there was no way she could get proper information about what she didn’t want to know.

He was already ignoring Kayden, so it was natural to do so even when the rumors spread.

It was when I started to listen to Asena’s orders that I started to break that idea a little… but it wasn’t that long ago.

“Shalon Payne. Did you really think you could watch over me and stay safe?”

So now it’s different. The ignored Kaden Pryster no longer existed.

An explosive pressure was pouring out of him. Even if he was injured. Although it was not strange that he would die soon, Shalon didn’t even think to look at him.

“Without fear… Is Payne supervising Pryster as he pleases? Did you think it would be okay to just hang around me? …how much did you ignore me?”

“….I was wrong…The sin of my death…”

She was already regretting that she had underestimated him. I didn’t think that monitoring the surroundings would be a big problem.

Cayden started coughing. It was a strong cough that could not be stopped easily. The sound was so loud that the twins waiting outside rushed in.

But Kaden raised a hand to block them, then wiped his lips.

“….it’s okay.”

he said to the twins. The two looked at Kaden carefully, then left the room again.

“…okay. it can all be It is said that the motive itself was loyalty to Asena. let’s move on to that Pain. Answer me well from now on.”

“……Ah…I see.”

Shalon Payne lifted her head with a willingness to show her will. Then, he had no choice but to see Kayden looking at him with a serpent-like gaze.

“…..…”

“Did you… know that the gang kidnaps even children?”

“……”

Sharon blinked.

‘How do you…’

The moment I couldn’t answer thinking that, it was all over.

“Ha ha… yes. It was said that he had no intention of leaving the kidnapping bastards next to Daisy and Ewin. Asena, come in.”

Cayden seemed to have heard all the answers. He didn’t give Sharon another chance.

At his call, Asena came in right away.

“Brother, did you call me?”

I walked swiftly to his bed, knelt in front of him and listened.

Sharon couldn’t help but be shocked by the sight.

Anyway, I thought Asena was in the top position, but now that I look at it, that’s not the case.

Kaden, an adopted commoner, was leading their mood.

“This woman. bring it back home Don’t make it appear again in front of my eyes a second time.”

“Okay, brother.”

The conversation between the two determined Shalon’s fate. In the future, the brand of aristocrats who did not even graduate from the Academy would follow Shalon.

Judy came in too, grabbed Sharlon’s arm and lifted her up.

said kayden.

“Shalon. I will forget what happened to me. I am also responsible for my injuries. I’ll forget to hang around with the people around me. I don’t know how Daisy will take it…that’s for the Hectors to decide. There is only one fault of yours that I will remember. touching children. So, when you return home, tell the Paine family. And I will not forgive you if you are ignoring crimes involving children.”

As Kaden finished speaking, Judy grabbed her and dragged her out of the room. Shalon’s feet dragged to the floor. Her whole body instinctively refused to be dragged by Judy.

“let’s go.”

After a brief conversation with Cayden, Asena also handed him some poppy juice. Cayden continued to drink the juice Asena had given her, and then closed her eyes again.

Asena witnessed him drinking all of his medicine, and then approached Shalon, who was waiting outside.

She looked over her shoulder once more at Cayden, and, with a cold expression on her face, said to Shalon.

“…Your brother only told you to go home…but that’s what you mean. It’s not my intention as the owner.”

“…Asena-sama…I just want to show my loyalty…”

“Shalon…Shut up. Without that reason, your neck would already be rolling on the floor.”

It was only then that Shalon realized that Asena had been taking good care of her.

Asena pulled out a small postcard from her arms. It was not put in the envelope, so the written text was visible as it was. In the corner was a wax seal of Fryster.

Asena handed the postcard to Shalon.

“…this is…what…”

Shalon was confused and asked Asena.

“Give it to Viscount Payne.”

Accepting the postcard, Shalon finally confirmed its contents.

The head of the Fryster family and the duke. I, Asena Pryster, want the neck of Shalon Payne.

Power drained from Shalon’s legs.

But Judy was supporting her, so she couldn’t fall.

“Even this is a light treatment… you should know. because of what you did Obviously because of what I told him to forget… The eldest son of the Freisters is on the brink of death. As the second daughter of the Payne family did what she wanted, even if you declare war on your family, no one will say anything.”

“Ahhh…”

“I… am enduring the desire to destroy your family with endurance that tests the limits. The moment we declare war…because my brother will have to go to war too.”

“Ah… Asena-sama…”

“You either wanted it or you didn’t. You touched my treasure at will. Where do you show that high loyalty? I don’t believe the mission will fail. Oh, of course…if he goes wrong…the postcard will start to look cute.”

Asena said so and left Shallon. She headed back to Kayden’s room.

Shalon blankly looked down at the postcard again. The written text did not change.

She couldn’t decide which of the options she had to choose.

Should I take it as Asena said?

Or do you have to run away on your way home?

Either way, life as an aristocrat was over.
