Defeat - Victory's

Sacred Command

Kihan and Kaedius who had just filled their stomach void added to their break at the bar with a little beer.

Seeing a drunk woman dancing so freely and chaotic made Kihan pensive. The woman invited several people to join her. Releasing their troubles in the irregular dance craze.

The sword man who had previously tried to persuade the woman to sit down had now stopped and sat in a chair close to Kihan while watching the actions of the woman.

Soul tried to stop his master who did not stop drinking beer when he was so drunk. After such a hard effort, he finally gave up. He let his master do what his master wanted. He only needed to keep an eye, performing the necessary small actions of course to stop his master from going out of bounds.

All of that is the responsibility of Soul as a slave. Making sure his master is safe no matter what.

Seeing the woman take off all the burdens, it made Kihan remember his current country. The country that is famous for being very strong, prosperous and very respected by the entire land is now just a dream country. All that is not left.

The strongest land that was supposed to fight the demons became the emergence field of the demons. It was disgusting for Kihan to bear the title of a Prince of the Kingdom of Qirthas. While the current major disaster was caused by the royal family itself.

If he can get drunk like that woman, he wants to. The woman looks like she is very indifferent to the terror of the demons that are everywhere at the moment is very detrimental. Rihan wants to not care, but he can't. He couldn't see any longer this mess was happening.

That's why he wants to build his own strength. A power stronger than even the strongest demon power.

"Keep that look away from my master!" said Soul in a sharp tone along with the sword eyes that were right in front of Kihan's neck.

Soul knew this person beside him was watching his master in an unusual way.

The threatening tone made Kihan and Kaedius turn to Soul. Upon seeing Soul, the two not only heard sharp words but also sharp gazes.

From looking at Soul, Kaedius was certain of something about Soul. That person who was talking and the sword that came out from the scabbard, could not be considered a person with ordinary abilities. Kaedius turned to the woman referred to by Soul. Even the woman is the same.

Kaedius smiles. Honestly speaking he was unaware of the existence of Soul and that female around them. The existence of these two people vanished as if they were not meant to be in this bar. Only people with above-average abilities could truly hide their existence.

Kaedius seemed to care nothing at all. He only looked to this slave and prince.

After saying that line and seeing Kihan no longer paying attention to his master, Soul pulled back his sword and put the sword back into the sheath.

Soul looked at his already exhausted master and was about to lose consciousness in a moment. Soul stood up, looking at a person sitting alone in the left corner with a robe covering part of his head. Since then Soul knew that person kept looking in the direction he was.

What that person saw was not himself and his master. But two people nearby.

In addition to the person in the corner, Soul also sensed that there were others who tried to hide the air of his existence. Although it feels thin, but Soul can feel it.

Soul did not discover the existence of the person. Honestly speaking, Soul slightly did not believe he could not find that person. It was actually not at all important to Soul. The two men were after this person nearby. Soul only needed to make sure his master was okay.

Before anything untoward happens, Soul must immediately take his master away from this bar.

"What do you think the prince is about that man?" tanya Kaedius finally opened a conversation between them.

What should Kihan comment on? Soul was very confident in his abilities. He and his sword had no doubts. It was as if the two had fused together and trusted each other.

Shortly after the master and slave left the bar, one by one the people inside the bar fell unconscious. Kihan who was surprised by what happened instantly stood looking around him.

Only four people still had consciousness. Kihan who stood up put on a watchful attitude. He was sure that the man sent by the king to kill him was either one of the two or it could have been both.

Kaedius who remained calm drank the last few gulps of his beer. No Kaedius thought the slave and master were wary enough. Even the person who tried to ambush them inside this bar chose to wait for the slave and the master to leave the bar.

The two strangers also still remained calm in their respective positions that were quite far apart. Kihan's trying to figure out who's between the two people who did this.

Suddenly all those unconscious people started acting strangely. Kihan clenched his hand. He suddenly became very angry. In front of Kihan, a terrible event happened. Slowly these ignorant humans began to turn into demons. Kihan swore to himself, he would defeat the demons and bring back peace back to this land.

Since her feet decided to leave the palace, Kihan has since decided to protect her people.

Kihan looked at the person in the left corner. He took out his dagger for the man. Kihan's sure that's the guy.

Kaedius looked at the dagger held by Kihan. He recalled a child whom he gave the exact same dagger as that.

Kaedius smiled lightly given the moment. He once told the boy to give the dagger to the person he wanted to protect. What the child wants to protect in his past is the person he is currently with.

Kaedius had another beer. As they ran away from the Qirthas Royal Palace back then, Kaedius still vividly remembered the child letting go of his grip on the other child who had escaped with them without saying anything. The boy allowed himself to stay alone in the palace full of darkness and let them go to save themselves.

If not seeing the dagger in Kihan's hand, Kaedius might not know the real reason the boy decided to stay was for Kihan.

In the critical where the king issued their arrest surah back then, they completely forgot about the existence of the one-week-old Royal Prince Qirthas. Kaedius was sure, even Kihan did not know this truth.

That child, may never tell this truth to anyone and endure it all to the end.

"I can't believe there's still anyone left," said the robed man in the left corner standing.

The person in the right corner still remained silent without any desire to interfere.

The person bowed in salute to Kihan who was actually ready.

"On sacred orders from His Majesty the King and the Crown Prince, servants are ordered to take you back to the Third Prince's palace," he said without regard for the two people relaxing there.
