" Don't you want to know who's behind all this, young master Silverash. "
When Evan heard the man's words, he hesitated for a moment before stopping his movements, signalling the start of negotiations between the two sides.
" Say, who is your master. "
" Uhukk. My name is Andrew, a Grandmaster Knight under the care of Baron Marley, I was ordered here by my master to kill you. "
" Baron Marley?, what do you mean is Baron Marley who was under the rule of the Azeroth empire ? "
" Absolutely right, actually- "
" Nonsense!, don't you know who the current leader of the Marley family is, he is the father of the first wife of the Silverash family leader of this generation, so he can be considered as my own grandfather, what will he get by killing me ? "
Evan immediately shouted angrily upon hearing Andrew's reply, as indeed what he said was very unreasonable.
[Maybe he just wanted to cause internal strife within the Silverash family. ]
" Domination of the throne. "
" ... "
But when he heard the two words that came out from the mouth of his enemy, he could not even refute in the slightest.
Evan thought at this time like there was a very simple puzzle, but it seemed like there was one important piece missing that made the puzzle impossible to solve, and when Evan added the two words that Andrew had said earlier, I don't know why the puzzle that was previously impossible to solve has now become so easy as if these two words are indeed the last piece of the puzzle piece that is missing.
" Hehehee, I see now, you're here on orders from the Marley family to kill me with the intention of making my brother the next leader of the family, that way the Marley family will have the full support of the Silverash family, one of the highest leaders in the Star continent.
Hahaha, funny as it is, this is the silliest plan I have ever heard of, do they think that everyone inside Silverash castle is an idiot, even though the Marley family has a marital relationship with us, they still have to bear the consequences of their miserable plan, even Mother Cecil who has a high status in the family will not escape punishment, especially now that I am still alive, he said, I'll make sure they pay back many times what they did. "
" Please calm yourself young master, even though most of what you say is the truth, but there is still one important mistake in your guess. "
" What is it, quickly say. "
" Before that I want you to promise to grant me one wish. "
" Do you think you still have the right to negotiate with me, I could kill you and the Knights beside you right now. "
" Hehehee.uhukk.uhukk, actually when we accepted this mission, we never thought of coming back alive, you could kill us if you wanted to, you never thought of coming back alive, but you'll never know the secret behind your plan to kill you. "
As Andrew said those words, he looked into Evan's eyes with unyielding determination, while in the opposite direction, Evan hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to compromise.
" Speak, I'll decide depending on how heavy your request is. "
" Uhukk. Actually my request is very simple, I don't want what we are doing at the moment to cause bad influence on Ms. Cecil and young master Ernest, if you can grant this request, I will immediately tell you the truth behind all these events. "
" Hoho, why do you care so much about them, maybe you and Cecil's mom... "
" Enough!, you may berate and insult me as you please, but I will not allow you to tarnish Cecil's reputation even if I have to sacrifice my life here. "
Andrew suddenly cut off Evan's words while shouting furiously, although he was severely injured at the moment, but he still tried to stand firmly and glared at Evan with only his right eye left.
" It's funny, if you act like that, your actions will only make people misunderstand you. "
" Sigh, would you like to hear a little story from me, young master Evan. "
" Of course, your wounds won't heal in a short time and everyone around you won't be a threat to me. "
" Hehe... Thank ye.
So I have to start with this story. oh right, that time when I was only 7 years old I met a beautiful girl who was my age in a fruit shop on the side of the road, he said, the girl had large golden round eyes and very beautiful maroon long hair, coupled with her cute face, she looked like a little angel that would make everyone want to embrace her.
It was the first time I met Cecil Marley and I didn't realize I was in love with him. "
" Wait a minute, did you say that he bought fruit at a roadside shop?, how could the son of a noble be in such a place ? "
" Hahahaa, at that time Cecil was running away from his house because he did not want to learn about the troublesome and complicated noble etiquette, even though he did look beautiful and graceful as an adult, but in childhood, he was actually a pretty mischievous and wayward kid. "
" Hehe, I should take note of this. "
" Well, proceed to the main topic, at that time I who was just a child of ordinary people and did not know about this world system immediately approached the girl and invited her to play.
although he initially refused, but with my constant invitation, he was finally willing to accompany me.
at that time I took her on a tour of all the fun places I knew and spent a wonderful time with her.
Maybe because Cecil was learning so many new and fun things from me, he came looking for me almost every day just to take me around or play around the city, I still remember that day when her innocent, naive face laughed cheerfully as she ran along wherever I went, this was one of the happiest rare moments of my miserable life.
but this happy moment didn't last long, for some reason, Cecil never came to see me again.
I was thinking maybe he was busy or something happened to his family so he needed some time to play with me again, so I waited for him where we often agreed to see each other.
day after day went by and I didn't feel like I was waiting for him for a year but he never showed up even once, when I was getting desperate, suddenly there was a luxurious carriage pulled by two beautiful white horses approaching me from a distance, I thought that it was just a carriage of noble horses passing by, so I bowed to pay my respects to that noble.
But what I didn't expect was that the horse-drawn carriage didn't pass me but stopped right in front of me, as I was confused by what was happening, and it stopped right there, suddenly the train carriage door opened and showed the face of a girl I dreamed of every night.
the same girl that kept me waiting for over a year, the same girl that left me without a word or a goodbye letter and the same girl that made me fall in love. "
" Hmm, very interesting story, but it seems like your feelings are not reciprocated at all. "
" Hahahaa, you are indeed a young master, in fact I have never even conveyed my feelings to him, I am quite self-conscious with my own status. "
" So what happens next ? "
" It was then that Cecil came to see me to recruit me into the Knights of the Marley family, at that time the Marley family was in a bad state because it offended one of the members of the imperial family Azeroth and Cecil who was 8 years old at that time also had to bear the heavy burden of his family.
since I could no longer see the look of sadness on his face, I decided to go with him to train to become a Knight, it was fortunate that my talent was not too bad, either, I trained desperately so that as soon as possible it became stronger and could lighten the burden on his shoulders even if it was just a little. "
" Is it worth sacrificing that much just for the girl who will obviously never reciprocate your feelings and do you never feel remorse ? "
Evan suddenly asked about something that made him very curious all this time, but the answer he got made him even more confused.
" I'm sorry for not being able to answer your question, young master, because I don't know the answer either, but I've never felt any remorse at all, when I saw Cecil's bright smiling face, I somehow felt happy too, even though I couldn't be with him, just looking at his smile was enough for me. "
