Albrecht woke up two days later. He had bandages all over his body and scars all over his face. From the right cheek to the chin, through the right eyebrow to the bottom of the eye, the jagged wound seemed to remain scarred. What kind of scar? It was a good thing I didn't hurt my eyes.
The elenas speak quietly next to Albrecht's bed. When I saw Albrecht awake, I was glad to come closer.
“Diego?”
When Albrecht asked, Martina said,
“I'll get it.”
A few moments later, Martina comes in, raising Diego.
Diego stumbles over and looks Albrecht in the eye. Albrecht lies down and looks up at him. I didn't need to talk. The two of them had enough smiles.
Elena takes Martina and Anna out with a plausible excuse if she thinks it's a good idea to step aside for a moment.
“We're in a civil war and we're shorthanded. We're gonna go help the villagers. ”
Diego sits on a chair next to Albrecht's bed. Albrecht said.
“Asshole. What are you doing there? Khh.”
“I'm a little sore just to stay in the mansion. Haha.”
They joked a long time ago. Then came the talk of civil war.
“Rooger and Gachelin are almost done. You nearly destroyed Ludgor's troops that day, and George and the rest of his men just stepped on the trail of bloodless property. The opposing team seems to be drawing as many troops as possible and making a final move. ”
“Yes......”
Diego takes a moment to look at Albrecht and says,
“And then, he made a gravestone for a woman named Elisa. Let's go later. ”
Elisa...... I remembered her last words.
"Albrecht, I love you. ’
She knew love for the first time at the end, and died. At the last moment, her voice was deeply embedded in Albrecht's brain. Sadness, grief, sadness, and joy...... The feelings in his voice became colorful and permeated Albrecht's heart.
Albrecht finds the duvet and tries to get up.
“What, what are you doing? You need to rest."
Albrecht said in a grave.
“I want to see the look on Rooger's face. ”
Diego knew that no one could stop Albrecht once he decided to act.
“Then I'll come with you. ”
“Don't be ridiculous. You stay put. ”
“If you rest, I rest. It's just a deal."
Albrecht laughs nonsense and looks at Diego. Diego smiled. Albrecht suddenly remembers the deal he had with Diego for the first time.
“Then let's go together. I don't know if I can.”
With his sword and axe, he stepped out, and eventually Diego was backed by Martina. I tried to stop Albrecht from going, but they had no choice but to let me go because of Elisha.
You ride out of the mansion on your horse and head to the wolf's den. The market comes around the corner and through the alleyway. The stands were extended on either side of the road, selling various items. Almost as if it were winter, the types of goods did not vary that much.
When Albrecht appeared on horseback, the citizens reacted differently than before. The face of fear was the same, but not just fear. It was an awe.
As Albrecht walks ahead, people crouch down either side of the road, taking off their coils or caps. The people in the building rushed out and took off their hats and bowed. It was like a king's march.
He also called Albrecht the Knight King because of what happened in Warehouse 17. It meant "the strongest of the knights." It just meant he was the strongest person in the world.
People whispered that he was a descendant of a god or a descendant of a mythical hero. Suddenly I remember my father always saying that our family is descendants of the great hero Siegfried. Either my father was right, or I made him right, or both.
When I entered the Slum, the reaction of the Slum was different. As the sun rises and darkens, you see Albrecht like a rat, and everyone quickly hides in plain sight.
Most of them were thieves. I heard that the people who stabbed themselves in the marketplace were people here. I thought it was a terrible move to decorate an entire market like a theater.
They were obstinately aiming for themselves because they wanted to escape the tragedy they had created or were born with. Perhaps Rutger promised me a reward if I stuck a dagger in Albrecht's body.
You arrive at the wolf's den in a moment. You see mercenaries and soldiers around you. They were employed by the Great Gate. They take off their helmet strings and pay tribute to Albrecht, regardless of any inconvenience.
Albrecht steps off his horse, hands Gopi over to the soldier, and steps into the wolf's den.
Dozens of activists were seen. They were devastated by the color of their faces. Albrecht didn't have much of a reaction. They hoped Albrecht would end this war by killing Rutger.
Albrecht walks bravely across the stairwell. As the crowd divides, no one stops you. You climb to the second floor, then go back up to the third floor and head for the main room. When you open the door, you see Rutger. He sits in a chair and looks at Albrecht who just walked in. I think I was drinking.
“Someone did. He was a knight. ”
Albrecht has no answer.
“Let me ask you a question. Were your friends and whores that important to you? No, I mean, you didn't. I thought it might be, but I never thought I'd go there unarmed. ”
Albrecht boldly said.
“It is not a matter of precious importance. I was just faithful to my beliefs. ”
“What beliefs? ”
“Honor.”
Luger opens his eyes wide and starts laughing madly. I laughed as if it was really funny. I had no idea he was smiling like this in years, or even decades. You grip your belly and roll your feet, smiling, pointing at Albrecht with your fingers. Laughing for a while, he said, as if to calm down.
“I said something and now you're talking like an elf! Yeah, that would be a luxury to call a monster like you. Luxury that even I or the Great Gates can't afford. ”
Albrecht gazes at Rutger quietly, without an answer. Rutger says his last words.
“I've seen the honor of knights in protecting whores. ”
Albrecht draws his sword and makes his way toward Rutger. Rutger closes his eyes. I dropped my neck.
Albrecht plunges his sword into the black and grabs Ludgor's severed head. Then I went downstairs.
Activists stand up and look at Albrecht. And he stares at Lurker's head, dazed.
Albrecht comes out of the wolf den and throws Lurker's head in front of the mercenaries and soldiers. He rides back home on his horse without a word. The war is over.
