Harden Baldric

"Captain, there's someone standing in front of our base. I told some people to hold him. When we were interrogated, he didn't say anything."

Captain Harden Baldric. He is the younger brother of Earl Baldric. At the behest of his predecessor, captain Harden was made the chief knight captain of the Baldric family.

He has a muscular stature. He was two meters tall and his facial expression was extremely harsh. Starting from looks to posture, he was indeed really suited to become a knight head.

"Don't bother me with that shit! If he doesn't talk, just kill him or do as you please!"

Harden is in a bad mood. Two of his men died from being trampled by pigs while the other five were beheaded before him for a mistake they did not even commit! All of that kept swirling around in his head, making the hatred he had gardened to his brother grow even more fertile!

"You want to kill me, Captain Harden? Interesting, if you really can, try to do that."

The bodies of the men reporting on Harden froze. He turned his head towards the origin of the voice and how astonished he was when he saw the person they had caught and tied up with chains now standing in the same place as him.

The knight swiftly grabbed his sword and tried to slash at the person, but his movements were too slow. No, rather his opponent was moving too fast that unknowingly, the knight's arm had been separated from his body.

A scream of pain soon sounded there. Blood flowed from his former arm. No one tried to stop her bleeding. In the end, the mysterious person and Harden only watched as the knight wriggled and cried in pain until he died from blood loss.

"Now, captain Harden, should I speak directly to his point? Ah before that, can I sit down first?"

Captain Harden gritted his teeth. Who exactly is this guy!? He simply walked into his base and killed his subordinates mercilessly then spoke casually to him as if nothing had happened before!

He wanted to slash at the person in front of him. Of course if he can. But captain Harden didn't know the man's abilities thoroughly. Therefore, he could not be rash and chose to listen to what that person wanted to say.

"The wise decision captain! As I thought, you are more suited to being an Earl than your brother!"

Captain Harden scrunched his forehead. Anger almost exploded from him. But before that happened, the person in front of him continued speaking.

"Wait, wait! Hahh...Your emotions are easily provoked! Should I withdraw my talk?"

This time Captain Harden was completely out of patience! He got up from his chair and kicked down the table that was in front of him. His eyes stared intently at that person, as if he wanted to swallow him alive!

Captain Harden's eyes were wide. He looked at the person in front of him with anger, fear, and alertness. Where did this fellow come from and suddenly offer himself to become an Earl!?

"You're far more suited to being Earl, captain Harden. Unlike your flabby and indecisive brother, you are a hard and disciplined person. I am sure, in your hands, the Baldric family will have a wider influence among the royal family as well as among other nobles. Ah, maybe you can become a Duke or a Marquis. How's it?"

"What do you really want!? Tell me your true intentions and purpose!? If not...."

"If not?"

Captain Harden took out his sword and slashed his sharp blade into the person's neck very quickly. But how shocked he was when the attack he launched was easily held back by bare hands.

"The purpose and I mean very clear. That is to make yourself the head of the Baldric family in place of your brother. Don't think about who I am, it doesn't matter."

Captain Harden was completely cornered. Now, he was like looking at a monster that was ready to tear its body apart and eat itself alive.

But on the other hand, he also started to see hope. He imagines himself taking the Baldric family to glory, becoming one of the strongest families in the Dublin government.

Captain Harden began to lose control of himself. He got into his own delusions. The common sense he had was slowly changing into lust for power and hatred. He started smiling and muttering something unclear.

"Tell me how I can achieve all that! No matter what price you give, I will definitely pay!!"

The man threw a sheet of paper at the table.

"Just follow all the instructions, then your victory will be guaranteed. Don't worry about the payment, you can pay it after you become the new head of the family."

He stood up and went out of Captain Harden's base. But, he paused for a moment once it was at the door.

"Ah, I'm forgetful. Take it easy I didn't kill your other men. They're still asleep now. Maybe."

And he went through the cold early in the morning just like that. Without mentioning his name.
