Eps 11 Secret Tasks

Ferderick and Kaisan return to the red Apple seller he previously bought at the end of the road, but all have been sold out, with the weight of their hearts returning empty-handed, Ferderick noticed the look on Kaisan's face that looked disappointed along the way.

"Buy the other one"

"Lady ilona only likes red apples" she murmured grimly.

"Should I kill the noble and his servant who hit you earlier so you wouldn't get too upset?"he said with a real face.

"Fttttt...What you're saying, there's no need to go overboard" Ferderick finally saw him laughing.

"Mrs ilona will be pleased with your arrival, she expects nothing else from you, trust me"

"I know brother"

"You're an adult"

"Yes, of course, do you think I'm going to whine because of some apples?"

"It's not a bad thing for me"

"Ciii-hh"

After a long journey they finally arrived at the Black Shadow headquarters, once they opened the doors people had gathered to sit facing each other at a long table welcoming Kaisan's arrival enthusiastically. Due to Kaisan's cheerful and sociable nature as a child, it didn't take long for him to take the hearts of the mercenaries and make friends with the adults.

"Hey little brother have you come?" said one of the men named Jacob.

"For a long time no see Mr. Jacob and the others" Kaisan smiled happily.

Stev and ilona came from behind, ilona ran towards kaisan and immediately hugged him "why just came now? Don't you miss me, son?" ilona said as she sobbed.

"I miss you so much Madam" Kaisan patted ilona's back gently.

"It's been, my wife, you made a child who just came home after a long time of sadness" said Stev.

The longer Ferderick and Kaisan get to know the people in that place, the more they understand that not all hitmen are as bad as they seem to be,at least they are sincere to a child who does not have a destination like Ferderick and Kaisan, they often share with people in need out there, too, I don't know since when Ferderick realized that the person who was in that place was his family.

Ferderick and Kaisan join a long table filled with various food dishes and drinks that are deliberately prepared to welcome Kaisan who only visits them once a year, ferderick looked at Kaisan who was very close to Ilona and Stev, they kept chatting and telling him interesting things, the look on his face looked happy, and the look on his face seemed happy, really happy and not a happy temple as Ferderick usually sees in the back of the academy building when he visits for a moment. Now Ferderick began to feel afraid if until they both returned to lose the figure that had become his family.

"Our mumpung kids are all gathering here, I want to announce something" Stev said aloud.

"What is it, sir, you make us curious, just say it" replied a few boisterous people.

"Both calm down first, Joseph and I have been deliberating, someone from the upper class is starting to investigate this place of ours, out of nowhere he can find out that here is the headquarters of the assassins, the, but when we can be arrested and thrown in jail, even our heads can be beheaded"

"Whathh?? What we have to do, sir" people are surprised not to hear such things from their leaders, not to mention Ferderick and Kaisan.

"It's a very secretive task, so I'll only tell Ferderick if Ferderick agrees to do the job"

"If Ferderick had refused the task, would that man have attacked and captured all of us?" ask one of the soldiers.

"Right, such a thing will happen sooner or later" Joseph replied with a look of despair.

"What's your decision Ferderick? It's a dangerous task you can refuse if you don't want to" asked Joseph looking at him expectantly but resignedly.

Ferderick looked at the hopeful gaze of his comrade, he took a deep breath before answering him "I will do it, that task" Ferderick replied calmly. everyone was smiling except for Kaisan and ilona who looked worried.

"Do we have to leave here, sir? But we have no other destination" someone asked.

"Stay here, once Ferderick's job is done we'll turn this place into an information guild, your job around and collect information, we'll sell it to the needy, we'll sell it to the needy, the more important and secret of information, the more expensive it will be"

"Thank God, sir, we're relieved to hear it"

Joseph added that "if you wish to register as official knights of the King's court or nobles of the lord of the territory, we will allow and assist you as much as we can" some people seem quite interested in Joseph's offer.

After the serious conversation was over they continued to eat and drink alcohol until they were drunk to let go of the anxiety of hearing something very arriving.

Joseph took Ferderick to the training ground, they walked slowly in the dark, Joseph stopped his steps and Ferderick followed.

"You can definitely think why I brought you here" Joseph said.

"certain"

"Stev the bre***** was deliberately drunk because he could not tell you directly, the man who looks fierce has a very silly nature but has a warm heart, he said, that's why I can't just leave him, we're not happy to give you this task, but we can't send another child besides you who has the most superior strength, if it's allowed, it's me or Stev who will take this job, but he won't let us because our faces have been recognized by some of the people there"

"I understand"

"If this task goes according to plan you can become a knight of the palace with your outstanding abilities, and if you don't want it you can ask for something else, don't you want the honor of Count Steward's family and your territory that the palace seized back? That's something he could probably do"

Ferderick's eyes widened, not expecting the man before him to know his true identity "How do you know about my family?" he said he doubted.

"Because Stev and I are investigating you, I'm sorry but we can't let a dangerous person threaten our lives that's why we did that to every member who just joined"

"I understand, so what task should I do, and who is He?"

Joseph said it in a whisper in Ferderick's ear because the identity of the person and the target really should be kept secret, Ferderick seemed surprised to hear the person who had to be killed with his own hands.

Joseph patted Ferderick on the shoulder "Remember if you're in danger then just protect yourself, do you understand?" Ferderick nodded.
