Egret

Chapter 21. Commitments

“You're sick. My brothers cried a lot when they were sick. ”

I saw bruised wrists. The rest did not appear to be covered in clothes, but it did not seem to be very healthy. Even my neck was swollen and I wanted to see if I could breathe properly.

Now that he had a fever, he usually cried like a child and was in a state of panic.

“Why, Your Majesty. ”

Even when I was a child, I couldn't write to my mother once, and I did.

“Ha.”

Baikal sighs as he sweeps his face in frustration.

It wasn't frustrating about Judas. In this situation, nothing changed when the child tried the pack. No, I didn't know what else to do if I was next to Hayun, who was being eaten by the commander.

Hayun's choice was right and the child only understood it.

‘So why do you understand that? ’

It was just all fucked up. And the box that kept showing this shit was going to want to tear it apart.

‘You can't just keep watching like this. ’

Baikal pauses to think with his arms crossed.

If this little prince in front of him were the same as Judas, the shock he would be receiving by now would be more than imaginable.

I need to get Judas out of this box quickly, apart from the thaw crisis.

“Argh. The boss monster with the key must be somewhere in this box. ”

“Deputy Commander. Wouldn't you rather scatter and look? ”

Another knight who was watching him asked like a knife.

“It must be fast on that side. But, uh, you can't disobey the commander's orders. ”

If so, the last order Ethan left behind was to ‘stay in line’.

Although Baikal usually just left, he kept his own command system as clear as ever.

During his troubles, healers came in, energized young Judas, diagnosed his health, and built medicine. After finishing his work, the medical staff left the room without any other interaction.

Fortunately, the child looked comfortable after receiving treatment.

A child who had received quality healing had all the bruises and wounds on his body and stopped coughing.

‘You must have some skills. I thought I was a bare stonemason because I couldn't finish the command of the Empress Horseman. ’

Baikal openly slammed his tongue. In fact, they are the elites who received the best education and the best grades when they were around the imperial formal healers.

Because healing is an irrelevant part of the command, it was impossible to blame them for the tragedy involved in Hayun Lee.

“Huh?”

A child who thought she would be lying quietly stood up and came down from her bed.

When I saw the urge to go out again into the body that had just been treated and stabilized, Baikal shouted without my knowledge.

“You can't go! ”

Blink!

Immediately something that I couldn't understand happened. So far, the visions in the box have not been aware of the real humans coming in from the outside.

He was not just unaware, he was acting like an actor in a play, following a set of scenarios.

But now, the child responded to Baikal's cry.

“ ……. ”

The child slowly turns his head and looks at him. Baikal's embarrassed face shines over his blurred eyes without focusing. So far I've been aware of him differently.

‘Are you telling the truth, too? ’

I felt like I caught a theater actor because I was in the theatre that was always going on.

“Who, old man? ”

Baikal hesitated for a moment to introduce himself to Moora Judas, a young man who reacted differently from the other visions.

“So, I said, ”

“ ……? ”

I couldn't introduce myself to the golden pupil who looked up at me and said, 'I am the future prodigy of Her Majesty.'

Moreover, in retrospect, the meeting process was not good either.

‘Aww, that's a good dog horn. At the end of the bully, all the damage I could do. ’

It was Baikal who was the worst of Judas' three clans in the past. He replied nicely, touching the back of his head.

“Baikal B. It's Drake."

“ ……. ”

“Here B is the initials of the Brave. It's my statement."

Young Judas stares at him without blinking. Baikal kept his statement secret.

“Well, it's a wizard who takes His Majesty as his master. ”

“ ……. ”

“And.”

‘White Crown Prince’, who was mentally and physically weak and had all sorts of questions floating around.

I came up with a word that I never said right before.

Like a fish that came out of the water with all its vigour, Baikal squeezed his courage and opened his mouth. And just before I took my horse out, I thought of myself for a second.

"I'm not ashamed of the past. ’

The boy who was once ahead of anyone and despised the White Crown and hated him now trusts him more than anyone else in the world.

But vicar also felt guilty in his immature past.

‘I'm ashamed and guilty to kick the blanket when I think about it, but now. ’

Baikal smiles as he reaches out his hand to young Judas.

“And a friend who graduated from Lubach together……. ”

After the old mistakes and wounds, they changed. Just as Judas was not the wounded little Judas in front of his eyes, so did all his surroundings.

Baikal remembered the hand that his lord had given me to change. It was his turn to restore the trust he had received from him.

At that time, I heard the door open.

“That's what I'm saying. ”

Suddenly, Baikal turned his head in a glare at the voice from behind.

“Captain!”

“I thought you were just jumping like a cocky fox. ”

“Ahaha, that would be a compliment. Lord Baikal."

Cristina and Sage walk in behind Edan.

“Cristina?! Sage is back, too. ”

“Ha. I know what you were worried about. But it's wrong.”

Cristina snorts at Baikal, a teenage runaway girl who treats herself without pleasure.

“I've searched the map so far. ”

“Yes? So you've been scouting the inside of the box? ”

“So what did you think? ”

‘…… an explosion of puberty emotions. ’

Honestly, I had a feeling that magic might explode, not emotion, so Baikal's mouth was silent.

“No matter how you go around, you don't see the key to getting out of the box. ”

“That's a big deal. ”

“One more thing. Everything but Judas' place was stopped as if time had stopped. Therefore, it became clear that the background constituting the box was Judas' memory. ”

Though I was making guesses, Baikal hardened his face to the fact.

‘Then, was the heart of the box conveyed? ’

“In doing so, we are. ”

But Cristina's words are not over yet. Baikal, who was looking anxious, heard the conclusion that followed.

“Break the heart that makes up the box and get out of here. ”

Giggle!

The blue bow was directed precisely at young Judas. Baikal was furious and stopped his front.

“What do you mean! You're going to hurt him to get out of here now? ”

“You got it. ”

“…… Do you have the same idea? ”

Swoong! Edan replaced the answer by pulling the sword.

It is Judas' memory that makes up the box so that when he disappears, everyone can get out.

Baikal's mouth was filled with laughter.

“You know, boxing is a world of fantasy, not reality. ”

“So it doesn't matter what you do in here? ”

“Take a good look. Is he really our lord? ”

Baikal looks back.

Certainly young Judas was different from the original Judas he knew. It wasn't the original clear gold coin, it contained something cloudy and opaque. When I looked closely, I also felt a tingling sensation.

“Out of my way. This is an order, Baikal. ”

Baikal pulls out the staff while still blocking Judas' front.

It was they who became the Crown Prince's protégé and had been sworn with one mind. But now Baikal is determined to break the commander's orders for the first time.

“No.”

A magical wind scattered his head. Edan nods as he recognizes the Lord's unwavering will to defend himself in the slowly drawing enchantment on the floor.

“I can't. ”

Baikal felt strange in the appearance of Ethan kicking his tongue as though he knew it would happen.

"You don't intend to attack me? ’

I didn't really feel flesh from them. Rather, I was sending Bikal an eye for understanding. I felt strange and at the same time felt a small weight on the cuff.

“ ……. ”

The boy who grabbed his collar trembled and looked up at him. During Baikal's hesitation, Cristina dares to fire a bow.

Peeing!

A blue magic arrow pierces the child's hands and feet. There was no screaming. He just stands there like he's nailed, laying on the edge of his bicycle and stretching out.

Seeing it, Baikal did not stop the attack that followed. I just held a trembling child in my arms.

“…… Sorry, Your Majesty. ”

“ ……! ”

Then I turned off the candlelight hook like a magic wand drawn under my feet. Someone pulled his shoulder after the defenseman disappeared. It was Edan.

“You noticed Yonke, too. ”

“If you explain something kindly, where does it add up? ”

“I don't have that kind of wit. ”

“But if the commander had been kind, I would have suspected him first. ”

Baikal murmured with bitter eyes. When he stepped back, Ethan stood in front of the child instead. Then I lifted my sword without hesitation.

Qa-qa-qa!

A cold ice sword pierces Judas' heart. Hot blood flowed down to the floor with the sound of bones and flesh breaking.

However, the child bends his mouth slowly instead of falling down.

"Kick." That's how humans end up.

The shimmering silver hair suddenly bites black. The wings made of bone ripped off the dorsal skin and popped out, making a strange sound.

“Command……. ”

Sage muttered as if she had seen it. I was imitating a young Judas. It was a command "Release" that I signed with Fried.

She smiles as though she is enjoying spilling black blood.

Even a poor child's heart explodes to save his life.

Release laughed at them while still turning Judas upside down.

You pretend to be clean and noble on the outside, but everything is the same when you end up in extreme situations.

“Did you want to test it? ”

Why? Is it unfair? You want to say no? No matter how fanciful it may be, I'm on the subject of stabbing the one I called my best friend to get out of here.

Only the pupils were as white as clouds in the black-bitten eyeballs, no longer gold.

No, you'll stab me if you need to.

“ ……. ”

That's your essence.

Looking back at her, Edan tucks out a bloodstain on the ice sword.

“Thank you for making me realize that. In return, I want to tell you that it's the essence. ”

What…… Huh?

After noticing something strange, Release lowers his gaze. A little while ago, a stabbed chest froze white.

What is this?

It was a bad cold. Similar to the humid energy of the Command, he was colder and more desperate.

As I became a commander, the desperation I had forgotten was revived and tears flowed out.

Release turned his gaze to the sword that stabbed him more and more hastily, rather than looking down at my body, which was freezing white.

Sword of Command? Why would a man who didn't sign a contract handle a command with a weapon?

“This is the sword you have entrusted me with. ”

He…….

“It was originally called Ray. ”

Release only noticed the identity of the Ice Sword after hearing its name. Her complexion was pale.

"That's ridiculous. You can seal a command with the power of a command? There's no way that's possible.
