two (3)

“I think the force would have been sufficient.”

“Sir Siron was not really classing me as a human being, not just an expression. How can a non-human become a knight?”

“I don’t think it would have been a thing for your father to catch you and educate you to become a human.”

“You really don’t think your father is a man trying to tame anyone. Let alone beasts.”

“That’s right. If your father hadn’t recruited you directly, the dark knights wouldn’t have tried to appease you any more.”

“I didn’t really want to become Sir Shiron’s subordinate either. Rather, there was only a desire to reach the realm he reached, and the stimulation given by the black knights was the greatest, so from then on, raiding Sir Shiron and the knights became the most important daily routine for me. However, it was common to be suppressed by many people rather than one-on-one anymore.”

“Even if you don’t embrace it, there’s no reason to overdo it to someone you don’t want to kill. As you put it, well. He was even cute…”

“And when I was subdued, I always ate together at the campsite of the dark knights. Even if he tried to escape, he was caught, tied up, and forced to eat.”

“Why do you go that far? Was there an order to dine with you if I saw you?”

-If you kill me, you kill me. What kind of bullshit is this?

-It is an order from the head of state. to eat it

“It is.”

At that point, Jin thought for a moment.

I wondered why Shiron had given such an order.

For some reason, I wanted to come up with it myself rather than hear it directly from Hedo.

“You must have thought that the act of sharing a meal… would be a good way for you to acquire your humanity. It seems that you also thought it would help the spirits of the dark knights. The Black Sea is a terrible land.”

“That’s what I think, 12 horseman. It was only possible because I was a beast.”

The two don’t know, but at the time, Hedo played a similar role to Ozdok, who belongs to the current expedition.

Hedo had spent such moments with the knights of Shiron for quite some time.

After eating together and sitting blankly by the campfire, they leave.

Sometimes they had conversations, sometimes Hedo was eating food and was overpowered, and sometimes the knights gave Hedo advice on swords.

They were becoming something of a friend.

“Ah, I guess it was right to just become Runkandel at that time. How the hell did you get into ziplo and come back this far?”

“Because it wasn’t meant to be.”

At first, it seemed that Hedo would soon be able to blend in with the Dark Knights.

Hedo and the Dark Knights all thought so.

There was only a moment like that.

“I was a beast, Sir Shiron and the knights were people. But we were all becoming monsters in the end. The desire to resemble Sir Shiron’s sword has gradually faded. Madness was outpacing motivation.”

As the Black Knights fought against the Black Sea, Hedo was devastated by an unknown cause of madness that was getting worse and worse.

It was the same with Chiron. Changseong’s unique demonic nature was constantly alienating him from others, and the number of meals that he had gathered together decreased as he did so.

Shiron’s command was obviously helpful to those who were drying up, but it was only a reprieve.

“The Black Sea is a place where you cannot survive without abandoning your humanity, and Changseong is a state that cannot be controlled without escaping from people.”

time and place. The meeting between Hedo and Runkandel was not good at all.

From the point where they stopped eating together, no matter who said it first, Hedo and the knights raised their swords only to kill each other again.

“That’s how the Dark Knights Sir Shiron and I became middle aged. Every time we met, we could see traces of years buried in emptiness on each other’s faces, and it felt like looking in a mirror. They must have felt the same way when they saw me.”

The past of Shiron’s Runcandel and Hedo was much longer and more gloomy than Jin thought.

“And I thought of challenging Lord Shiron one last time.”

“…Judging from the flow of the story, it doesn’t seem like it was because of fighting spirit or sense of victory.”

“Yes. I was thinking of dying Just as I learned shame and vengeance through Vanessa, it was only at that age that I first learned what it was like to be empty. It has always filled me. I just didn’t know.”

Hedo’s gaze remained fixed on the sky.

The void was the cause of Hedo’s madness.

“As soon as I realized it, I felt a mad urge that I had no reason to live any longer. The past days of exploring the sword and just surviving were meaningless.”

At least, the knights had no reason to give up their lives because they had clear goals and loyalty even while becoming monsters, but Hedo was not.

He really was a man with nothing.

“I met Sir Shiron again and drew my sword. Previously, even if I aimed my sword at Sir Shiron, other knights dealt with it, but no one stepped forward. Instead, Lord Shiron chose Barisada. Just like when you silently cut past challengers.”

At that time, Hedo’s skills were only a few tens of thousands lower than now.

Decades of training in the Black Sea, plus advice and frequent sparring with the Dark Knights, his achievement exploded in earnest.

However, the fight didn’t even take place at all.

Shiron, a wall that can’t be crossed even now, was already completed a long time ago.

“I was engrossed in the fight and when I came to my senses, Sir Shiron was looking down at me as I fell. If I said that, what do you think Lord Shiron would have said to me?”

“Um…”

Jin imagined Shiron’s thoughts again.

Nothing came to mind, so he just told me the answer he would have given himself in the same situation.

“I think you asked why I didn’t intend to go outside the Black Sea.”

Hedo’s eyes widened.

“I see… a son.”

– Why are you still staying in the Black Sea?

“Come to think of it, it was the first time I’ve been asked this question, even though I’ve been attacking for such a long time. Even the black knights didn’t tell me that. It would have been the same reason you would never ask a wild animal why you live here.”

In other words, it was only then that Shiron tried to see Hedo as a man, not as a beast.

– Go out and live a human life. Please stop chasing us.

“When I heard that… I was going crazy. I’d rather die, I wrote evil several times. Even if I tried to catch Sir Shiron and the knights leaving suddenly, my already smashed body wouldn’t listen. They had work to do, but I didn’t.”

Hedo fell on the spot and stayed still for three days.

He couldn’t move, but he hoped that the monsters would attack and eat him as usual.

However, just as beasts avoid the smell of wild beasts, the monsters did not even come close to Hedo until Hedo stood up again because of Shiron’s energy remaining nearby.

“And I went out. He was banished from the Black Sea by Lord Shiron. Even though I didn’t know the way back, I just walked randomly, and it was already popular. I was never attacked by monsters on the way. I even thought that they were following Sir Shiron’s will.”

Inse, who left at the age of 15 and returned only when he was middle-aged, was like hell to Hedo.

because there was nowhere to go.

“I kept saying that the Black Sea is a place of refuge.”

“exactly.”

“A person cannot grow at all in a place of refuge. When I returned to the royal family, nothing had changed from when I was 15 when I left for the Black Sea. Although he became a soldier close to 10, his insides were still similar to the time he killed the orphanage director.”

The same situation continued as before going to the Black Sea.

However, if there is one thing that has changed, it is that no one carelessly looked down on Hedo and attacked him.

His body was similar to his current one, he had the shape of a madman with sporadic hair, a huge longsword, and his unique empty yet gloomy aura overflowed, so there was no need to get caught up in the arguing of criminals.

Also, Hedo didn’t look for people at all, except for a couple of times he got on the wrong road.

Mostly, it was all about being in a daze in a place like a mountain or an uninhabited island in the sea.

“Didn’t you think of going to the Sword Garden?”

“Because I was a dead man. I bet you never did.”

Jin recalled the fact that he was just a dead man until he met Valeria when he was banished from his family before returning.

“It could be. If that’s the case… I think Ziffle would have come to you first by then. The tower keeper said he had been taking care of Sandra since she was very young. That’s all there is to it in terms of time.”

“Yes. Suddenly, the midnight sun came to visit me, and I was on an uninhabited island.”

“Why is the midnight sun looking for you?”

“It seems that some of the hapless challengers I killed in the Black Sea included some ziplines. I heard that the one who survived and returned to the family announced my existence. Ever since then, they have been waiting for me to get out of the Black Sea.”

In the first place, even if it wasn’t Hedo, Ziffle always planted people near the Black Sea.

Only then can you check the Runcandels that come and go in and out of the Black Sea.

It was almost inevitable that Hedo was caught in their eyes as he went out for royalties and was subsequently pursued.

Hedo had been starving for several days, but it was not difficult to sweep the midnight sun.

However, the wraiths who subsequently attacked him could not help it.

“Instead of dying, I was imprisoned. I thought that if I stayed like this, someday they would stop appeasement and kill me, but I was already dead, only my body was alive. So all the conditions put forward by the family were meaningless.”

Of course, Ziple didn’t kill Hedo until the end.

Losing a few White Nights was a free thing if I could get a superman I didn’t belong to.

Besides, Ziple was already researching mind manipulation even then.

If Hedo was not eventually captured, it would be enough to use it after the development of mind manipulation magic.

Hedo did not know of such a plan, but even if he did, he would not have acted differently.

“How did Sandra move your heart when you were in that state?”

At that, Hedo turned and leaned against the railing, looking across the dining room at Sandra.

She was laughing even louder than before.
