THE RISE OF THE KNIGHTS OF SINNERS
#15# SILVER WHITE HAIRED GIRL
Gerel is the largest city in the entire Gerelia plain. The city has a population of 150 thousand. Thick walls and towering towers enclose the city within. This city is also a trading city that is never deserted even at night. All traders from all over the world will always stop by here to trade their goods. In addition, there are also many liquor stores and places of gratification. A common sight that happens here. And it became one of the attractions of this city to bring tourists.
Because of its size, the city of Gerel became a hotbed for criminals. Starting from kidnapping, rape, theft, robbery, and human trafficking often occur here. Therefore, it is rare for traders and residents to bring small children without hiring bodyguards. Although various actions have been carried out to prevent the crime, but because of the population density and lack of employment in the capital make the handling done in vain.
In addition, there are indications of interference by royal officials in certain criminal cases, especially human trafficking. Then the intimidation and discrimination against the Angelus and the black ethnic population makes this city more rotten when viewed from the right point of view. Only, the guard soldiers and officials could well play a charade to cover up the rot.

After a meeting at the palace is completed just at dusk, Leo decides to tour the city alone. He walked around all corners of the big city. The dense population that passes on the road makes Leo uncomfortable to see the sights of the city. He went to some food and drink stalls while waiting for the streets to get a little loose. And unexpectedly the man had to wait until midnight even until some Yurei troops came to him on the orders of marquis Aiden and brought him home. But Leo still kekeh wants to continue around the city.
In a state of the streets that are not too crowded like daylight, Leo continued to tour the city even he reached down the fort and looked out of the city. When he reached the western fortress, he saw a lake in the middle of the meadow. The lake drew Leo's steps to reach him.
When he arrived, Leo sat pensively while watching the beautiful lake at night.Dwhere the lake water reflects the beautiful light of the moon and stars. Leo slowly walked closer to the lake. He accidentally heard the sound of people fighting not far from the lake. The voice led Leo up to a large tree right by the lake. Leo approached the puhon and peeked behind the tree.
Sure enough, a silver-white haired young girl wearing a black robe had a fight with a black haired man wearing noble clothes. At first Leo did not care much about the quarrel of strangers. As he was about to leave the tree, Leo saw the girl's hand being forcibly pulled by the man in front of her and for refusing to let the girl's hand get hurt by the man's fingernails. Not getting there, the man suddenly pulled out a dagger and pointed it at him.
Without thinking, Leo ran over and kicked the man from the side. Leo's kick plunged the man into the lake.
" Miss is okay? " ask Leo who is still staring at the location of the man who fell.
" W-what are you doing!? " said the silver-white haired lady in a slightly panicked tone.
Leo turned to the girl and was immediately fascinated. Yes, a beautiful silver-white-haired girl with bright red pupils looked at him which made the blonde-haired young man's heart beat fast. This was the first time he had been fascinated by women.
The bright moonlight clarified the girl's beauty and made Leo's heart beat faster. He also recalled a fairy tale he had read as a child. The story of the demon princess under the holy moon.
" Beautiful, "the Leo murmured softly but was heard by the girl.
" beautiful? " ask the girl
" A mom-it's nothing! I'm sorry, "reply Leo blushed in embarrassment. Fortunately, his helmet covered his red face.
" How dare you! " the grin of the man who fell in the lake. " Little soldiers dare to kick the son of nobles! Are you tired of living a bug! "
" Heh, I don't care about your castle. Whoever you are, hurting a woman is still the wrong action, "reply Leo.
" Don't act like a fucking hero! " the man took out a fireball magic that was layered in lightning sparks in his right hand.
" It's a pity that knights like you have to deal with evolution magic users like me! You're gonna die here damn it! "
" Mister, go! You are not his match! Please go or at least bow down for your salvation! " the girl whined in fear.
" Let's calm, miss. Indeed he is not an opponent comparable to me, " Leo replied casually. He walked closer to the man.
" Orka please don't hurt her! I'll do what you want, but don't hurt him! " shouted the silver-white haired woman.
" Hoo..., Really? Let go of your clothes now! " shouted the man named Orka.
Leo swiftly stretched out his right hand. " Don't do it! Miss, never do such a crazy thing! A woman's honor is worth more than a man's life! Miss shut up there, I'll get this over with! "
The girl was silent, at a glance in her mind was silent a glimmer of hope on the knight for Orka to cancel her intention. " Help me, "accidentally the girl's sweet lips expressed her heart out loud. Leo heard that voice.
Orka looked at Leo's armor. " The armour? You're Valdia's bodyguard, right? "
" Yes! I'm Aiden's marquis' bodyguard, "
" Hey bodyguard! You should be aware of your position! I am the son of Count Randa! Count of Trixia! I am a noble of Gerelia and in other words you must bow down and respect me! " snapsed Orka.
" It's a pity, I'm only willing to submit to marquis Aiden. And once again, I don't care about your castle, "Lo drew his sword and stuck it to the ground.
" Haha...! It's a pity as well, you have to face a magic element evolution user like me! Just so you know, I am the only magic element evolution user in this kingdom! " the word booby Orka casts fireball magic mixed with lightning again in her left hand. The two balls of fire were burning and the heat from the fire was increasing.
" You call that the evolution of magic elements?? Ah right also it's evolved but not perfect, "trivial Leo.
" Why not perfect. You think it's easy to evolve magic? Better beg for mercy now, before I actually kill you! " snapsed Orka. The impact changed the fire in his field, becoming blue.
" I'll show you the true evolution of magic, "Lo turned his sword that stuck. The air temperature becomes cold in winter. The plants around Leo slowly froze.
" This!? Can't be! There was no way anyone could use ice magic other than the ice emperor! " orka's guts instantly shrieked after seeing the freezing around her.
" And he's my teacher, now you still want to fight? "
" Because kauuuuu...! " orka grinned at once threw two fireballs and threw light lightning magic at Leo.
Leo put the sword. From his sword-eye came out a vortex of ice grains that formed a shield. Orka's fireballs hit Leo's ice shield and produced a magic explosion that sounded loud even to the city.
...Boooom...!...
As Leo's ice shield shattered, two flashes of lightning instantly struck him. But who would have thought, the picture was lost after touching Leo. Orka herself immediately drowned and dropped herself. He begins to realize the difference in power with Leo.
" B-how can it be!? " ask Orka in a panic.
" My ice shield is thicker than your fire and it's a pity that I am the owner of the emperor level wind element. Your lightning would be useless if I coated myself with wind shield magic, "reply Leo while re-inserting his sword.
orka's fear was clearly on her face. " Who are you really!? Why is a person like you in Valdia!? "
" Hmmm I'm gifted with magic, so Valdia picked me up. " The original Leo answered Orka's question.
" O-orka it's been a long time since I've wanted to say this. You've changed from what you used to be. In your brain now there is only lust and never understand my feelings again. I'm sorry, our relationship is here. What you did to me broke both of us. And once again I say that our matchmaking is cancelled! " sawful silver white haired girl.
" I won't take it! Is it because there was a knight who saved you, so you dare to say that!? All righty! But remember, your words can backfire! You're a fucking bodyguard too! I'll tell my dad all this! " drenched, Orka ran to the city.
" Wait, you two lovers? " ask Leo.
" Why did he try to hurt you? Hhhh I shouldn't interfere in other people's affairs. I'm sorry, "Lo bowed.
" Eh no sir. I just have to thank you for your help. If you hadn't come, maybe my honor would have been taken away by him, "
" But it is not natural for lovers to do such a thing? "
" It's true. But he and I have made a deal so he doesn't touch me, even just kissing isn't allowed. My late mother taught me to keep honor and not give it to people I don't love, "
" Miss didn't love that man? "
" I love her. But, there is still doubt to give my sincere love. That's why I made the deal. What happened earlier was actually my fault. I told her that my match with her was cancelled and I would be betrothed to someone else. Because she didn't want to lose me, she insisted on wanting to fuck me, "
" Hhhhhh that's how he thinks, "
" It was not like this. He was a kind and affectionate person because of that my grandfather betrothed us.But after being able to evolve magic, after being able to evolve magic, he began to be haughty and arrogant even daring to say arbitrarily in front of my grandfather. He started to like to play women in entertainment venues. Because of his ugly nature, Grandpa betrothed me to someone else, "
" Has the lady already acquainted with the person who will be betrothed to the lady? sorry I didn't mean to interfere, "
" It's okay. I'm not talking about kog. I already know the person I'm going to be betrothed to. We were childhood friends. It's just that this time I slightly disapprove of his matchmaking, "
" Didn't agree? "
" Yes, the person I was betrothed to as a child was so whiny and cowardly. Even her nature is the same as women. I want to have a partner who is much stronger than me. That's why I've made a deal with grandfather if I meet that person I should ask him for a duel to test his strength, "
" Uh? Should it be like that? "
" Yes! Got to! He used to be very cowardly and maybe when the duel later on will also be the same coward. I'm sure it! "
" Ahahaha how sorry for the person who was betrothed to the lady. All right, miss, let's take the lady home, "
" Hmh, well I can be a little safe with a knight as strong as you, "
Leo and the girl returned to town. The girl guides Leo on the road that leads to his house and unexpectedly it leads to the palace.
" Miss lives in the palace? " ask Leo a little surprised.
" My family works here, so I also have to stay here, " replied the silver-white hair girl.
Not until Leo retaliated, senses and 2 members of Yurei's army came over.
" Mister, Miss Thalia is very worried about you. Now hurry back before the madam, "whispers the senses to Leo.
Leo nodded his head and looked at the girl, "I'm sorry, lady, I can get here. I need to get back to Marquis Aiden's. " Lo walked into the palace leaving the woman.
" Please wait sir! " split the girl when she saw Leo about to enter the palace.
Leo looked back, "What's wrong, miss? "
" W-can we meet again? "
" If miss wants to see me, she can find me at Valdia police headquarters. I was always there. Excuse me, miss. Good night, "
" Thank you for your help. Good night. "reply to the girl while bending over.
As Leo began to disappear from his sight, the silver-white-haired girl only remembered that she had not yet asked for the name of her savior. He entered the Palace with a sense of regret that continued to haunt his mind. He had searched for Leo's whereabouts but his efforts were in vain because the person he was looking for did not appear again even in the palace.
***
At the resting place of Count Randa who was Orka's father there was an emergency meeting about the contents of the letter that Count Randa had just received from the king. On the sidelines of the meeting, Orka without knocking on the entrance just like that.
" Yeah! " shouted Orka who had changed clothes with cheeks in tears.
Count Randa who was sitting on a chair while carrying a piece of paper turned her head towards her son. " What's wrong with my son? Why is your face so sad? "
" Licia's daughter was betrothed to someone else! " said Orka who kept whining.
" I already know about that. Where have you been? I heard from the bodyguard that you were with Licia's daughter, right? Then what did you guys do until this late? " ask count Randa.
" Because I didn't accept the match, I was going to fuck Licia's daughter. B-but a bodyguard from Valdia suddenly came and interfered. I had a fight with him and to his surprise he had the element of ice" Orka said.
Count Randa approached Orka and slapped her to the ground. Count Randa's face was so wrathful. " Soundless child! Then what happened after that!? "
...Plaaaa...!...
" I-I ran away right here, " Orka groans stroking the red cheeks of her father's slap.
" Destroyed already! Thanks to your foolish behavior we have no chance to take the throne of the king! Just so you know, the bodyguard you're referring to is marquis Aiden's second child and he's the one who's about to be betrothed to Licia's daughter! " count Randa snapped immediately to silence his resting room.
Count Randa grabbed his son's hair and brought his face closer with a sharp look. " Hey stupid boy! I didn't mind your fight with the bodyguard but I was angry that you nearly fucked Licia's daughter. This is your last chance Orka, however you must be able to make the princess fall in love with you again. You want to be king, right? You want the human trafficking case involving you to disappear, right? Therefore, no matter how you take the princess out of the hands of the second child of marquis Aiden! "
Orka was terrified to look at her father. His body trembled and inadvertently the fear made him pee dicelana. Count Randa let go of his jubilee and sat back down on the chair. " Clean that filthy liquid! And get out and think of a way to take the princess. "
Orka just nodded her head and took off her clothes to clean the urine pooled on the floor.
***
While in the marquis Aiden's dugout, there was not much to talk about. They just nagged the old Leo back. And when morning came, the marquis with his entourage left the capital. Although the king repeatedly persuaded the marquis Aiden to stay longer, he refused on the grounds that many jobs were waiting in Valdia. Instead, Thalia was left in the capital as a representative of Valdia for the next meeting.
