Glory Hunt's

Acceptances

Because the golems that came with them were too big, Rayven returned alone to the city to tell Mr. Anderson and asked for help to set up a temporary camp while they searched for more information about the golem. For it is impossible for the golem to appear in the city.

Not only would it bring a commotion but also the talk of the golem calling Celine as His Majesty could create a big problem. No one should regard himself as His Majesty, other than the king and the queen herself.

But now, a variety of questions arise that make them wonder,

Could it..

It didn't take long for Mr. Anderson to order his soldiers to build a temporary camp in the middle of the forest. Of course secretly, after hearing Rayven's explanation that initially made the knight afraid of his master's reaction.

However, it turns out that Mr. Anderson himself had sensed something strange inside the palace, as if something bad was happening while there so what Rayven said might make sense.

Therefore, when the sun has set and there is little activity in the city, Mr. Anderson ordered the soldiers to carry supplies and the materials and tools needed, led by Rayven.

Meanwhile, Rio had already exerted all his strength to treat the father of the two small goblins, trying to pull him from the front of the death gate where it was almost impossible. Fortunately, the father's soul is still in the body and can be saved, a minute too late, the two young goblins will no longer be able to see their father.

The goblin thanked him and apologized for his actions that had provoked the young man. He thought Zent had bad intentions by coming to attack them first, but he had misunderstood.

He met the now traumatized man, sitting under a tree, looking down at his trembling hands.

"Hey, are you okay?"

He sat on the side, watching his arms "I don't think so. I'm sorry, I'm not the best person to talk about something like this, but I want to apologize to you.

I've misjudged, thinking that you want to put my two children's lives at risk, so I'm fighting like life and death because both of them won't be able to replace my old life" Clearly slowly while watching the two small goblins now playing in the distance with a wide smile decorating their faces.

"It seems, what has happened today, is enough to shake you.

I understand that, the feeling when for the first time you take someone's life, the moment where, if you can't control yourself, then darkness comes to take over.

However, the sign that you feel so guilty that you feel that you do not deserve to live proves you are a good person, someone who has a pure heart full of affection.

Don't let yourself hate yourself and leave all that to fill the guilt that will always gnaw from within unless you forgive yourself.

I am fine young people and will go on like that for the sake of watching their growth, seeing them finally happy with each other's lives.

Forgive yourself and keep fighting, use each mistake as a lesson and keep remembering yourself at the beginning of your fight so that later when you are at the top, you will not lose your identity"

The goblin put his hands on Zent's shoulders, squeezed him like a father gave the boy some encouragement and then stood up "Oh, I almost forgot. You're the strongest person I've ever faced, be proud of that" he said.

He continued walking closer to the two children who were soon aware of the father's arrival and showed how they fought, after the spirit to train for watching the father's fight in protecting them.

Celine watched Zent who was still sitting quietly under the tree, decided to come closer and kneel before her, finding that the man who always looked happy with that warm smile, was, now sheds tears while biting her lips, trying to hold sobs so that the mask does not come off.

But in vain.

When Celine pulled him over, giving his shoulder as a place to lean back while embracing him with tenderness, the mask he had been wearing, finally broke. Showing a man who is actually trying to endure every pain and sadness in the heart. Trying to stay strong as a man should act.

Without Zent being able to control, his cries flowed, all that had been held back by him, who tried hard to be buried not to appear on the surface, flowing like a waterfall, he said, out of the dam that is now broken apart.

When Zent again embraced Celine tightly, too tightly to make her a little claustrophobic, she gently stroked the head of the man who was shedding all the weight.

So heavy, much heavier than what Celine had been feeling.

He did not know how Zent, someone who had no abilities like them, could not use magic, was just an ordinary human, able to withstand the burden that even a Tier 5 knight like him, could bear, it feels too heavy to bear alone.

Although Celine did not know what Zent had experienced until it felt like this, at least, she wanted to be a place for Zent to lean on. Because he knows what it's like when you need a place to spill your heart, but you have no one. Only alone against the world.

Rio who heard that cry, tightly holding onto his chest that felt like it was slashed, could not help hearing the pain within Zent's sobs.

Tears began to fall from his face, tears that he did not expect would come out, especially because of someone they had just met, he said, until no one realized that Rayven and the soldiers had come,

But they kept their mouths shut, not wanting to disturb.

Because as soldiers, someone who is trained to be ready to participate in the war, someday they must leave their families and loved ones. And what was heard from Zent's sobs was the sobs of someone who had lost everything.

Knowingly, at the same time, the soldiers knelt down, paying their respects. Because even though they did not know Zent very well, they had seen with their own eyes the difference he brought into the mansion.

Being able to watch the young lady again smiling happily, was already able to take their respect and Zent was a figure who deserved such respect.
