The Another World Grimoire

Chapter 1.8: Knight Dara Vandr, Rhea (I)

— Back bright shining sun on a settlement.

It is still located on the outskirts of Dynoseus City, although it is a bit far from the United Hall.

"Hoam.."

A man got out of bed again. He yawns and tries to get up from there to start the day.

Hizashi as usual lived back in the Tetzell house and did not appear before the people of Dynoseus.

That incident was already two days ago where he first used his ultimate power. The attacker in Vandr became a memory for him.

"Oi boy, are you awake?" Tetzell.

He then came out of his room and Tetzell as usual prepared food for him.

It's too much to think of him as a "Father" for her. He just met two days ago. Common sense, it can't be related to Tetzell like father and son.

Then Hizashi sat down at the dinner table, eating bread and soup. He thought it was suitable for the morning.

While Tetzell returned to his job, which was to forge metal into weapon equipment that would be purchased by adventurers.

The atmosphere of Hizashi's breakfast was then cut with Tetzell's question.

"Have you heard?"

"What's wrong?" ask Hizashi.

Tetzell went to his door and opened it. There is a paper leaflet that depicts a person with a hood.

It also says: Wanted! Rewards of 5 Million Gultz Coins. It seems that he was wanted and who managed to get him earned a reward of 5 Million Gultz coins. The payoff is huge.

That person must have been the best fugitive in the territory, to the point that Count Verdum issued information to look for him in great return.

"It." Tetzell handed the sheet.

Hizashi looked at the sheet, and a hint of an angry expression was seen on his face.

"The army of Count Verdum spread this information. It is known that he had just foiled Count Verdum's attack on the Vandr region" Tetzell said.

Hizashi finally realizes that he is the one who became a fugitive in the region. It is no longer safe if the identity of the attacker is discovered.

"Uncle.. is there still a territorial struggle in this country? Can't this break up the kingdom?" ask Hizashi.

Upon Rehobot's invasion of Vandr, he concluded that there was a power struggle between the nobles in Narcius.

Tetzell menghela nafas panjang.

"About 90 years ago, the Nobles split into two Factions, the Hobart Pro-Dynastic Faction and the Ceilos Pro-Dynastic Faction."

"Hobart and Ceilos? Do they rule this kingdom?" ask Hizashi.

"Yes. The Hobart Dynasty in the West and the Ceilos Dynasty in the East. These two families fought each other for power to reach the Supreme Throne of Narcius. For this reason, the sympathizers of each camp fought over each other until King Narcius was filled" Tetzell said.

The Hobart dynasty is known to have controlled the territories of Dioseus, Cil Miama, Cil Southa, Delosa, Rehobot, North Rehobot, Nasbach, and Torez. One of the supporters of the dynasty was the Erguilna Nobles Family who ruled Narcius Minor.

While the Ceilos Dynasty ruled all of East Narcius such as Del Unum, Del Lipia, Lepaztios, Cilios, and Kavespos. They were supported by the Reicher Family in Inkartia.

The Family of Supporting Nobles was indeed not a direct descendant of these two dynasties. Their relationship is usually established when they want to fight, or debt and marriage between nobles.

In addition, there were neutral territories that did not favor the Western and Eastern Dynasties. They were directly associated with the central region and King Narcius himself, such as Vandr and Ljosfels.

Ninety years ago did indeed start an era of war between nobles in the Kingdom of Narcius, until someone became a King in the Narcius Region.

"And if King Narcius is still contested, who will rule the region?"

Then, Tetzell pointed towards a painting of a person with his thin mustache — looking like a King.

"King Charvis II of Gaolis. He is not the original owner of the kingdom. He is the Prince of Brundswell Kingdom" he explained.

"That means they have mediators from other countries doesn't it?" ask Hizashi.

"It should be" said Tetzell.

"shoulda?"

The word brought a contradiction back to that conversation. There seems to be a problem with the king.

"You know, he's the brother-in-law of Hjoresk Hobart, the head of the Hobart Dynasty."

"What?" ask Hizashi in astonishment. "That's not partisanship?"

"Yes, that's it."

If from the territory alone, it is already visible. The capital was in the Rehobot Region, which was ruled by the Hobart Dynasty. It is undeniable, his parting has been discovered.

"This means it's one-sided." asked Hizashi.

Then Hizashi again raised his gaze to his fugitive paper. The choice was only one, walking silently.

And he again remembered the attack on Vandr.

"Uncle, do you know about Vandr."

"Chuaaahoo!!"

"Oi, uncle, what a slob, you know" said Hizashi, who tried to protect himself from the bursts.

At that instant, Tetzell who was drinking choked, then he laughed out loud.

"Haha! You got to get there, huh?" said.

"Huh, this uncle.." said Hizashi inwardly.

"Ah, uh. I used to grow up there. Truly, an unforgettable experience" Tetzell said.

"You lived there?!" hizashi asked in surprise, while accidentally hitting the table.

"Yes. I'm also a former Vandr's patron knight" Tetzell said.

"Protective knights?"

"Knight of the Kingdom assigned to protect a territory" Tetzell explained.

Tetzell then looked at his aged sword. It is located in the left corner of the entrance.

He is a former knight. He left the knight because of the influence of the Vandr-Hobart War that took place ten years ago.

"So, that girl is your successor huh?"

"That girl?" ask Tetzell.

— "Tok, tok!" The sound of knocking on the door interjected.

A moment later, a woman knocked on the door of Tetzell's house. He was dressed like an adventurer. With the sword sheath beside his waist.

Hizashi opened the door, and then looked at the girl.

"You?" ask Hizashi. From the look on his face, it was like he knew the woman.

— Tetzell turned towards the woman.

"You were the one at that time?!." said Hizashi again trembling.

"Rhea!" welcome Tetzell as if he knew the woman.

"Rhea?.."

The woman, who is known to be flat-faced, smiled slightly at Hizashi.

***

— Hillus Border Village, Vandr Territory, 1000 HB.

His position was in the Border Village between the Vandr Territory and Rehobot.

Despite the tragedy of the Rehobot attack, as usual the village was peaceful and quiet.

There is also a medieval style house illuminated by the warmth of the sun.

A girl, she looked like a teenage girl, but her face seemed a little flat. He seemed to have just gotten out of bed.

He was still wearing his unkempt nightshirt. To the extent that the part that should not be seen from his body was a little visible.

He came out of his room in a dress worthy of an adventurer. With a sword reflected beside his waist, he headed towards the dining room. He immediately sat down at the dinner table and took his cup (mug).

While drinking, he raised his gaze to a paper that read as follows.

*We will definitely seize your territory! Don't forget that! Your leader doesn't exist, does he? If you want, I will rule you!

– Duke Verdum from Rehobot*

"He just climbed to Duke level? What dirty way is he wearing?" The woman screamed loudly.

— A soldier suddenly enters his house.

"What's up, Miss Knight Rhea?" tanyakanya.

"Ah, sorry.. I accidentally shouted." said the woman apologized.

Her name was Rhea Eleon Zeylis. A member of the Zeylis Knight Family. The Zeylis Family was a Knight Family that had served the king for decades.

The Zeylis family has been in internal conflict. Some members of the family declared allegiance to the Hobart nobility and some to Ceilos.

While the rest keep trying to be neutral. And this neutral one is allowed to remain in the name of Zeylis forever.

"The Duke Verdum wants our territory" said Rhea heavily and her tone slightly softly.

"Surely, he's already Duke! Then he wants our territory! Two days ago we already attacked them, and now—"

"They're going backwards."

The army's desperate statement was then quickly cut by Rhea who was still staring at the threat letter.

"They.will retreat?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Suddenly, the soldier accidentally hit the table.

"How is it? Our soldiers are only about twenty and number them—"

"Yes, yeah. I understand that."

Then, Rhea got up from her seat and headed for her room. He soon came out in an adventurer's shirt.

Shiny lightweight armour and some protectors in the locomotion apparatus. And the sword beside his waist he put.

"Em, Miss Rhea? Where you going?" ask the soldier.

"I'm going to Rehobot's territory" Rhea said.

"Rehobots? That's very dangerous!" said the soldier.

"I know that. I'm going undercover in this shirt. They won't know who I am" Rhea said.

"Haah, okay.. But beware!" said the soldier.

"Don't worry, Belfz. I'll be back as soon as possible" Rhea smiled.

Then he left the village, escorted by the soldier who accompanied him earlier, Belfz. He then walked through the Vandr-Rehobot Border Forest.

"Oh yeah! Miss Rhea didn't tell me why she wanted to go there! But.."

The soldier realized that Rhea had crossed the forest so far that he could no longer see her.

"He's gone, huh?.."

***

He's still walking through the woods. The forest was long and vast. There is only one to be aware of — Monsters that come attacking suddenly.

"If it wasn't an undercover mission, I could have gotten on a horse there..."

The atmosphere of the forest is indeed quiet and there are no inhabitants. Rarely would any adventurer come there to level up.

Shortly afterwards, he heard a strange sound, exactly like the sound of roars and growls.

"Grrrh!"

Rhea immediately took out her sword. His sword glittered and shone like diamond. On the hilt of his sword was a red-colored crystal stone.

He approached from the source of the sound. The stronger the voice, the closer it was. The louder the growl, the louder the growl.

"Grrrh!"

The source of the voice revealed itself. It is shaped like a wolf with its strong body and its extremely sinister sharp predator gaze — Forest Canis.

"Grrh!"

The creature growled again for the umpteenth time. His claws are ready and just waiting for his prey he destroyed in the middle of the forest.

There's no way Rhea would just shut up. He then dashed towards the Forest Canis with his sword and slashed it with all his might until the creature could not get up again.

"Yeah!"

"Graaaaah!.." the wolf's roar shrank.

The wolf then died and his body was right next to Rhea's feet. Rhea put her sword in her scabbard. But unfortunately, there is something unexpected.

"What?"

Forest Canis then came back with a herd of about a dozen. They besieged Rhea and waited to eat her.

"Grrrh!" the wolf snarl bullied Rhea.

Rhea directly thrust her sword into the ground. He then showed the position of the hand that would pull out the sword.

"Graaah!" the wolf's roar signaled his comrade to pounce on Rhea.

Spontaneous wolves ran towards Rhea quickly and were led by her leader. They ran fiercely.

"Well sword, show me your figure!"

Rhea said that with a counterintuitive tone. But even so, the wolves were still running and were about to pounce on him.

"Grrh!"

"In the silence, your figure is fierce.."

The wolf was already about half a meter in front of him and was ready to devour him without a single remnant.

"...Even the best nine blades will not pass through this wise figure of yours.."

"Grraaah!!"

"Come....The Sword of Wiseness!"

A small explosion occurred around the sword and knocked down at least four large trees.

The wolf that was there was then completely engulfed in an explosion with nothing left and only caused a small smoke from the explosion.
