Zed went to the horse cowering in the corner of an alley, to the old man resting under the bridge to avoid the flames, and to the children who had lost their parents. He calmed the frightened horse, checked the old man’s condition, and placed his hand on the heads of the children who still smiled innocently even in this chaos while he tracked Leon. Harto gave water to the thirsty horse, took off his cloak for the old man, and shared the leftover apple pie with the children. Zed had told him to eat it…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
- “Walter!” From the opposite side of where Walter stood, Zed and Harto were running toward him. Walter quietly covered Lidel’s body with a black cloak and withdrew his hand. The corpse that had just been in his arms disappeared completely without a trace. Zed and Harto did not see it. The thick smoke nearby blurred their vision. “Zed! Thank goodness. I thought I lost you.” Walter changed his expression and greeted them with open arms. “Walter, are you all right? I heard there was…

- ‘Then… does that mean ten members decided to join?’ ‘No. I can’t tell the exact number. That’s only how many came to Belnok.’ ‘……’ ‘I’m sorry, Zed. I know that wasn’t your intention, but since we couldn’t even confirm if you were alive all this time, I don’t think you can avoid suspicion.’ That meant Walter was leaving open the possibility that Zed could be the spy, just like any other member. ‘Shit, if that’s how it is….’ The plan had completely…

- “Ah! I did it again without realizing it. Whenever I see something pretty, I keep wanting to tempt it… But maybe it doesn’t work because you’re a monster.” Walter clicked his tongue regretfully and smiled. When Harto met his eyes again, they had turned gray once more. ‘What was that just now? Did he say he tried to tempt me…?’ It sounded like he meant to tempt him, and Harto was confused. Walter chuckled at his naive reaction. "You're so naive for a monster. Well, that's…

- Deep into the night, the city was unusually quiet. In fact, it was only the outskirts near the city walls that were quiet, not the city center. Due to Allen's actions, the entire Bellancia Cathedral and its surroundings were crowded. They were in a lively mood, as it they were attending a festival. Since Belnok was a city maintained by holy power, each day passed in monotonous routine, and maybe that was the reason why people had given Harto goat droppings as a prank, and maybe that was why they were…

- Zed returned to the room and ate the apple pie with Harto, who had just woken from sleep. It was famous for a reason, much better than any ordinary apple pie. “Is it good?” “Yes, yes.” Each time Harto bit into the pie, a crisp sound resounded, and the sweet apple pieces melted softly. The syrup and cinnamon between the apple chunks filled his mouth. He had tasted honey only once before, but this was sweet like honey. “Drink some water too.” “Yes.” Zed handed him a cup of…

- The warmth from the hand he held made Zed look at Harto. Then he smiled to say that he was fine. “……” Leon stared at the two of them in silence. “Are you sure the soldiers are from the Elysion Empire?” After a moment, Zed turned back to ask. “No.… It may be a disguise. The wanted order as well.” “A disguise?” “When you entered Belnok, Zed. You gave your name, but they let you in too easily.” When Leon pointed it out, Zed nodded, he understood what that…

- “Ah…” Startled, Harto gasped and stepped back, and Zed grabbed his shoulder. “It’s alright. He’s one of us.” “Huh…?” Harto eased his guard and looked at the gatekeeper before him. Swoosh. The gatekeeper slowly pulled back the black robe covering his head. Brown hair and pale green eyes appeared. A silver star-shaped earring glimmered on his ear. It was clear who he was. He was the mage Leon Finer. “So it was you after all.” Zed spoke as if he had already…

- “Alright, then…” After drying himself off on a large rock, Allen began putting on his armor piece by piece. His status as a holy knight apprentice had been stripped, but since armor sold for a high price, he seemed intent on taking it with him no matter what. “You asked about the mercenary group, right?” Allen placed his helmet on his head and spoke. When Zed nodded, he shook the dust from his shoes and continued. “I saw Leon recently.” “Leon?” As soon as he heard the…

- The place for the duel was a clearing beyond the hill where there were few watchers. It seemed to be a spot where townspeople and apprentices often gathered, because by the time they arrived, quite a few people were already there. Clink, clink, clink. When the group of holy knights in silver armor appeared, the crowd murmured and hid behind the hill. Their curious gazes gathered at the center of the dueling ground. “You can sit here.” “Okay.” Harto climbed the hill and sat beside Zed.…
