Chapter 18: Aftermath ......

The knight is a symbol of nobility, the most loyal and innocent striker who is loyal to the empire and dedicates his life to the empire!

A knight, proud of his knighthood. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Knights, proud of their code of conduct.

Knight, absolutely trusting and obedient allegiance to the master.

Perhaps the young knights who have just advanced have such a belief, however, the baptism of the years has made those young knights who have gone further from the eliminated companions understand something, and there is not much left of the heroic ambitions of their youth...... At the end of the day, it's not the knights' fault,

It's the world and reality, the truth.

............

The gloomy and clammy prison looked through the cages on both sides, and swept over the dead prisoners in gray prison uniforms, and there was only death in their eyes...... This is understandable, after all, they are all people with unforgivable sins. And some of these prisoners may have been sent in themselves

Target.

The wounds on his face that cannot be healed are the so-called men's medals left over from the battlefield back then...... Well, this is a nice way to say, to change it to an ordinary one, I was too good when I was young.

Can't tell the world about the existence of the emperor's secret direct troops, and the middle-aged knight walking in prison at the moment is one of them, and now, it's just carrying out the orders of his superiors.

"Is that the rumored murderer on the street lately, is that you?" Eventually, led by the warden's men, the knight stopped in front of a cell and looked at the man inside.

The scarred body that can be detected through the prison uniform was caused by a fight during the arrest, or was it tortured and questioned...... The middle-aged knight didn't ask, because there was no need.

"You can step down. The knight waved his hand and motioned for the jailer beside him to step aside.

"Be careful, my lord, this prisoner is extremely cruel. "I don't understand why such a big man would come here to visit a condemned prisoner, and now he actually opened his cell, obviously wanting to go in. The prison officer reminded with some trepidation. After all, there was an accident

Take your own responsibility.

"Why, do you think I, as a knight, am afraid of even a badly injured fellow?" the knight, who was about to enter, stopped his steps and glanced sharply back at the prison officer.

"No, don't dare. The jailer hurriedly bowed his head.

"Don't retreat yet!" the knight's sword at his waist slammed to the ground.

"Yes...... Yes!" The prison officer left helplessly.

Seeing that the other party had gone, the knight turned around and looked down at the prisoner.

Draw your saber and point the tip of your sword at the tip of your opponent's nose.

"Do you have any last words?"

"......" did not speak, and the prisoner leaning against the wall still had his head bowed.

"Yes...... "Hold the sword high, and the cold light reflected through the blade reflects the prisoner's head.

Bump!

The blade is cut down.

The grinding sound of metal sparks...... Subsequently, the blade of the sword was returned to its sheath.

"......?" watched as the shackles were cut off and the liberated prisoner's dilated pupils regained some focus.

"Puppeteer, no, the rumored killer artist. The knight held out his hand. "By the will of the Empire, your abilities have been requisitioned by the Empire...... From now on, your life will be under the control of the Empire. ”

"Hah...... Hahaha...... Aha!!!!!ha......ha Laughter echoed in this vast prison. "Hey, I guess I heard me right...... The impartial and strict knight actually told me, a murderer, that I was requisitioned by the Empire. Suddenly the laughter stopped, and the prisoner spoke coldly and sarcastically.

“...... Serve the Empire and make amends for your mistakes. ”

"Ah, make up for the fault...... The three hundred and twenty women who died at my hands could have been made up for so easily. Slowly, he stretched out his hand, as if to touch something invisible, and the prisoner's mocking smile widened. "Unfortunately, none of the women in your relatives seem to have been killed. ”

"What's your answer?" the knight's expression did not change, and he continued to ask earnestly as if he were on duty.

"Hah...... Ahahahahaha...... It's ridiculous. Or is it true that my art is still appreciated!!!!!!!" The prisoner's answer was obvious.

=======================================================================

"Uncle, when did you come back!" Unlike usual, Yan Mo, who came home today, unexpectedly saw a busy figure in a kitchen.

"Aha, it's just a little earlier to finish today's business. Welcome back, Mozero, Sartre. "The middle-aged man, who has lost his knight's light armor at work and put on an apron, has the momentum of a househusband.

"......" is different from her enthusiastic sister, Sartre glanced at his adoptive father lightly, didn't say anything, and bypassed himself.

"Sartre is really, come here and say hello. Yan Mo, who found this, was dissatisfied and wanted to pull his younger brother over.

"Haha, no need. Sartre, this kid I know, it's just shy. "Yes, my adoptive father is really thoughtful, just shy, so shy that more than ten years have passed, and he is still so cold to him. "There are dishes you like to eat today~~" patted Yan Moling's head and smiled.

"I don't need any food or anything, anyway, Sartre cooks better than you, uncle. "I didn't care about saying something super hurtful. "Isn't it okay today compared to that?" Holding his adoptive father's arm like a kitten, Yan Moling begged pitifully...... Coquettishness doesn't match the original image of vitality.

"No!" Since it is Yan Mo Ling's rare coquettishness, it is certain that this matter is difficult to succeed. And the answer is also like an opinion.

"Eh, just wear it, you said you couldn't figure a few years ago, this time it's definitely no problem!" "A few years ago, the little girl was too supportive, but now it's finally okay...... Even men's knight's armor.

"It smells of my sweat. ”

"It's okay, I don't care. ”

"Wait until you understand what a knight really means. "Anyway, I just don't wear it.

"Stingy!!" couldn't be coquettish, Yan Mo let go of his adoptive father's shoulders in a little anger. Still, it seems that something is remembered. "By the way, uncle, you should have heard, the recent murderer has been caught. He said with great interest.

"Ah, that murderer, I was caught by the student president of your academy, and I'm about to be executed, what's wrong?"

"No, I'll tell you, my friend caught it!!" Tifa and Tina escorted the prisoner over, which was too shocking for anyone to believe, after all, she was just such an old girl. Therefore, it is directly handed in by the student president...... Of course, it doesn't matter who is responsible for the merits, anyway, the final bounty will definitely belong to them.

"Friends?"

"Yes, yes, it's called Tifa and Tina, don't look at the two of them as young elementary school girls, they are actually very capable of fighting!"

"That's it, hehe, it's amazing......" It seems that something unexpected happened, and the young man of Gushuer confessed that it was fake. It is necessary to correct ......

"Uncle, it's paste, the food is going to be paste!!" the movement of the spatula did not move for a long time, and Yan Moling exclaimed.

"Hmm!" distracted.
