Silver Throne

True knights

" So the point is, you're Cecil's mother's childhood friend and still hold feelings for her ? "

" More or less like that, forgive me for being disrespectful young master, I know that my love for Ms. Cecil should never have let me grow this far, but the more I wanted to forget about him somehow the deeper I felt about him, so I tried to let this feeling get erased as time went on, but it's all still in vain. "

Today Evan and Andrew still chat casually about Andrew's bitter and depressing life story, though they are still vigilant and keep their respective distance, but their conversation mood is quite harmonious, if anyone were to see them at this moment, that person would definitely never imagine that these two people had just tried to kill each other.

Evan seemed to be quite interested in this Knight Grandmaster's life story, he continuously asked about something he did not understand and Andrew would answer it patiently.

" Did Cecil's mother know that you harbored feelings for her ? "

" I don't think so, because I've always hidden my feelings, she may not even notice. "

" Are you sure, Cecil's mother is a smart person, there's no way she doesn't know after all the sacrifices you've made. "

" ... "

" Hehehee, it seems you also realize that the person you love is actually aware of your feelings, you just don't want to admit it. "

" ... "

" And I guess that goes for everyone who goes on this death mission with you, you feel indebted to the person who helped you when you were at your hardest time and now you are willing to sacrifice your life for that person, hahahaa really are naive idiots. "

" ... "

At this time the originally quite harmonious atmosphere became tense due to the words that came out of Evan's mouth, and as if he was not satisfied, Evan continued to continue his sarcastic sentence and further humiliated the group.

" Hahahaa.. funny, you actually realize that you have been used all this time and you are not trying to escape from the shackles that bind you but instead trying to ignore it because you are afraid to face reality, you bunch of cowards. "

Although Evan's words were very painful to hear, but Andrew and his group only slightly frowned and did not seem to feel any emotion at all, and when Evan finished speaking, he said, they answered with one short sentence.

" For we are Knights. "

When Evan heard that sentence, he smiled very brightly as if he had expected their answer, this was not the fake smile he used to wear when facing others as a high-ranking noble but this was the most sincere smile from the heart that he rarely showed others.

" Hahahaa that's great, a true Knight must repay his debt no matter what happens even if he has to lose his life in the process.

Good or bad and right or wrong are not in our dictionary, only what we think is right is the path we should follow.

It's a shame that honorable Knights like you are not under the wing of my Silverash family who are dubbed the number one Knight family in this world, otherwise, you may not end up tragically like this and will achieve great things in the future "

" Thank you for your praise, young master, receiving a compliment from a direct member of the Silverash family is the greatest honor we have ever received. "

The Knights who were at Andrew's side suddenly bowed and saluted Evan simultaneously with a hint of pride etched into their faces, perhaps this was the first time for them to be praised in such a way let alone the person in front of them was no ordinary person, but rather one of the direct members of the Silverash family who is branded as the strongest knight family in the world today.

" Although I don't want to dirty my hands with blood from real Knights like you, but you know that it's time to end this conversation. "

" So young master, are you willing-to grant our request ? "

" Certainly, today I, Evan Silverash, swear by my honor as a Knight, will not implicate Cecil Marley and his family in this incident.

but you should know that none of you will be able to leave this place alive. "

" Hahahaa, you don't need to worry about that young master, we never even thought of returning when we accepted this mission, after hearing your vows, we didn't even think of returning, we were finally able to rest quietly in nature there. "

Andrew who represented the group answered Evan with a bright smile as if what awaited him was not death, but a real freedom and not just him, he said, the Knights beside him also wore the same expression on their faces.

Evan who saw this, inevitably felt a bit of pity for these pitiful people, as they swore to the wrong master, they finally had a tragic end, they had a tragic end, so he intended to give them a little help before sending them to his final resting place.

" Before that, I want to ask you something, do you guys have a family ? "

The moment the group heard Evan's words, their expressions became a little grim and Andrew, as the leader of this team finally replied.

But of the 72 Knights who took this death mission with me, most of them had families waiting for their return home, but you don't have to worry about that young master, either, I'm sure Baron Marley will take care of the families of the fallen Knights, thanks for worrying about us. "

" Write your name and your fallen brother on a piece of paper, I will pass it on to someone to take care of your family later, just consider this as a gift from me to true Knights like you. "

" Are you serious young master, hahahaa, thank you very much then. "

Soon the expression of everyone in the group became carefree again, if any stranger passed by and saw them, that person must have thought that they had just won the lottery this time, if there was a stranger, with a joyful smile on their faces, it was clear no one would think that they would soon lose their lives.

As Andrew's group was about to write down the names of their colleagues, they encountered unexpected difficulties, they did not carry papers and stationery.

So they shamelessly ask Evan to get what they need, but unfortunately Evan also does not have it, indeed in the Blue Rose Ring Evan there are many items, there are many things, but there is nothing like a stationery.

Since they had no other solution, they ended up using a piece of white cloth that seemed to be Evan's blanket as paper and their blood as stationery.

This made Evan's lips twitch as he watched from the side, but he did not say anything, after waiting for a few minutes Evan finally received his blanket back with an additional bloodstain on it, he could not imagine how much blood would have to be expended to write down a total of 73 names.

" Are you ready ? "

After all the preparations were done, Evan asked the question that Andrew and the others had been waiting for.

Without wasting much time, Andrew and his group stuck their swords to the ground and stood still while slowly closing both of them.

Evan who saw their actions, immediately unsheathed his sword and walked slowly closer to these people.

Shortly thereafter, he reached the front of the first man and without hesitation thrust his sword right into the left side of the man's chest through his back and as Evan's sword pierced through the Knight's heart, there was not the slightest sound of pain coming from his mouth but the body that stood upright slowly began to bend and finally fell right towards Evan.

Evan could easily catch the body of the Knight who still had a faint smile on his face and immediately laid him gently to the ground.

From start to finish, no fights took place, the whole process looked very simple and natural.

After Evan finished laying down the first person, he then pulled back his sword from the person's chest and proceeded to the second person, the entire process was the same as before, there was no sound or any resistance from the Knight until he lay not breathing on the ground.

This continued until Evan laid the 13th man down, after which he walked slowly towards the last person who was waiting for him at this moment.

Unlike before, Andrew was currently trying to stand up and straighten his back by using his sword as a pedestal.

He looked at Evan who was currently walking slowly towards him with the bloodstained short sword of his comrades in arms.

Before long, Evan got in front of Andrew and said something.

" Is there anything you want to tell me. "

" Of course, I won't forget my promise to you, the real person behind all this is... "

Right after Andrew finished his sentence, Evan raised his sword once more and pierced through the heart of that Knight Grandmaster.

As Andrew's body begins to fall, Evan quickly hugs him and immediately lies him on the ground like the people before him and just before his death, Andrew says something that makes Evan smile once again.

" Thank you for giving us such an honorable death, young master Evan. "

" Hehehee, I think I also learned a lot from you, especially from you, when I heard your life story, I learned a lot of new things, especially about something related to love, something I haven't felt in all this time, but I know that someday I will encounter something called this love and the lessons you gave today will be of great help when it happens.

Sometimes having the full is not love, but pure and noble devotion and sacrifice can be interpreted as real love, there are also times when letting go is another form of love.

Andrew, the Knight of the Marley family, your name will always be etched in the corner of my memory, perhaps one day I will tell the story of you to my future wife and children.

Rest in peace, KNIGHTs. "
