From a terminal Soldier to Monarch
< 164 Coins, Knight with Red Hair (Amber) >
Wheelken didn't remember the age at which he first held his sword. I just remembered the moment I got hit in the back alley.
I wanted to stop beating and there was a long club right next to me.
Wheelken picks it up and swings it up from underneath.
Puck!
I felt like something was breaking.
“... Shhhhh! ”
The man who opened his mouth to express his pain with his face, he cried out in tears.
Then Whelken wakes up and breaks the heads of the men who hit him.
Maybe that's when I first started using violence against people.
At least that was the first time in Wheelken's memory.
The aftermath of what he did was pleasant.
One man lost his masculinity and the other came back to life. I suppose it's a good thing no one died.
Wheelken wanted to kill them all.
“You son of a bitch. ”
“You rascal! ”
“Get out of my way! ”
There were a lot of people who wanted to catch and kill one of their own.
“I hit him first. ”
“Come on, then hit me too. ”
It was inevitable for any swordsmanship genius to be overwhelmed by the difference in power. Wheel Kern was not a great prosecutor then.
That day, I was struck by a star in front of my eyes even in broad daylight. I wanted to die because I was beaten up.
“Ah, wheelchair, wheelchair. ”
When I opened my eyes, I saw a woman covered in blood holding herself. There was blood on her face, and she was shed tears.
Wheelken knew her well.
Diez, it was his mother.
“Cough.”
“Come out! I'll cut his strings today! ”
Someone shouts from behind her, and Diaz looks back calmly.
“Go ahead and kill me, too. But I don't intend to stay still. ”
Where did you get it? She holds this missing dagger and says to Jogonzo:
Wheelken didn't die that day. Instead, I had to live only for a few days.
This land was too harsh for a young woman and child to survive. There was always something to eat, and the right thing was often done. Fortunately, Whelken survived a month of illness.
In spring and summer, however, it was worth it to dig and eat grass, but in winter, there were no grass roots.
At that age, Whelken realized he was different from other children.
“Diez.”
“Why, son? ”
Whelken never called her mother. Since he was a child, everyone called her by her name, and Whelken naturally called her that. Her mother didn't blame it. Wheelken was hungry from eating the wrong grass because he didn't have anything to eat.
I had diarrhea, but I didn't have any energy.
“Eat something. ”
“You don't have to worry about me. ”
Diez smiled and said. Wheelken thought that smile was beautiful.
One of the reasons why two hats could live was that sometimes the daisies' beauty made them leave something to eat.
“Diaz, Diaz. ”
You hear a sound coming from outside as you feel sick. The dice come out of the collapsing hut. Wheelken listens.
“How long will I live here? Leave with me. ”
“Do you really want that? Bethel?”
“Do I look like I'm joking? ”
“Then can you treat Wheelken like a child? ”
“... That's, that's not fair. ”
“Bethlehem, I think you're a good man, but no one is more precious to me than my son. I'm not leaving my son. ”
I'll just leave.
Wheelken thought so.
Is it because of me? ’
“You can go. ”
“Don't say that. ”
When I saw her coming in, she smiled and said, The dice were not angry.
Whelken have never seen her angry. Sometimes I would see tears when the wildflowers were pretty, but I used to wipe my tears quickly when I looked at myself.
‘Why do I cry? ’
Persistently, relentlessly surviving. And there was a memorable day.
I was twelve years old in the winter and I was still short of food.
‘We have to get food. ’
There was no one to help me when I was wandering around town begging.
“What the hell! ”
They got rid of him.
‘I'll steal it.’
It was when I thought of that.
“Get out of the way!"
Two or two!
Despite the urgency, a wagon crosses the middle of the town. Whelken regains consciousness for only a moment, and the wagon hits him just as it hits.
I don't really remember that moment. Just a black thing passes and hits you on the stomach.
And I felt rich, and my back hurt.
Is he dead?
If I die, Diez will be at peace now.
I'll give you a mouth. It will be that comfortable.
"Don't be sick. Diez. ’
I lost my mind in the end. I've been hurt a lot before, but I've never been this sick.
* * *
“... Granny, please take my son..." "
“You'd better kill me. ”
“... If you're not going to answer my prayers, why do you need God?" ”
“Please, please, please. ”
It was such a desperate voice that I wanted to do something like that.
“…… I can't live with myself if this child goes wrong. I will not indulge you. We thank you for being alive and we will live with you. Please take my life for me. ”
Do you want me to live? Diez?
I asked myself, my eyes do not open.
“Please, please, please. Demons, gods, yes. Come on, come on. ”
The voice did not leave my ears. Wheelken woke up ten days after he was hit by a wagon.
“It's a miracle.”
Later, I heard that a passing healer saved me. He was a herbalist and admired the life force of Hülken.
“Diez.”
Then Whelken awoke and said in a quiet voice.
I was thirsty. I wanted to ask for some water.
“Don't die for me. ”
However, the words were completely different.
“Son, my son. ”
Whelken stares at the shriveled, mouthing dizziness that grabs her cheeks, and thinks she's beautiful.
Her cheekbones protruding from her cheekbones were beautiful because she couldn't eat properly because she was feeding herself, and her fingernails were beautiful after all the hard work.
“Yes, Mother. ”
Whelken have been calling her mother ever since. It took me another month to get up.
“It's okay now. ”
In the meantime, Diaz struggles to make a living by vomiting blood. The wheelchair that saw it couldn't lie down any longer.
“Don't overdo it yet. ”
The herd was being played by Diese. If I lay down two more days like this, she was going to collapse.
“I'm fine, really. ”
Wheelken is out. I then examined the wall on the other side of the village.
I used to get wanted here sometimes for a bounty.
‘I don't let them do their job well. ’
I picked up the club and memorized their faces. His village was adjacent to Earl Ludwig's Triangle, and behind him was the Bagborn Mountains.
Sometimes thieves trying to cross the border used to stop by town and see the face of a wanted man.
But no one in the village tried to catch them.
Soldiers used to come down and defend the town sometimes, but those who claimed the bounty came to town when they had no soldiers.
Whelken, remembering the wanted man's face, swung a few clubs and returned home.
And the next day, Hülken came out with an excuse to see who was on the wanted list. I was lucky.
“Ha.”
I couldn't stop breathing. Whelken melts with his mouth and thinks, looking at his face.
‘What was his name? ’
I couldn't remember my name well because I remembered my face.
“Stupid knife? ”
Wheelken blocks his way and asks, and he looks at Wheelken and opens his mouth. He was cut in the face with a cross.
I was wearing two swords on my waist, and my eyebrows looked fierce.
“Did you call me? ”
“Yes.”
Wheelken nods.
“He's in trouble if he teases this old man. ”
‘Maybe it wasn't a frozen knife. ’
Whelken seems to remember the name of this bounty hunter. I twisted my wrist thinking.
The club drew a picture of the seller in the air.
‘It still hurts. ’
I didn't even want the best.
It wasn't painful enough to die.
“Do you know who this old man is? My nickname is Marco, who lost this sword and killed two knights. ”
“Oh, right. This missing knife. ”
It was not "lame," it was "lame."
Quadruple.
Marco pulls out his sword.
“You see? With this, your light hide becomes very ragged. ”
"Wheelken!"
At that time, the dice shouted from behind.
“Sorry.”
Wheelken says so and reaches for the club. I knew it from the first moment I saw it. The opponent in front of you is satisfied just once.
I don't remember the first day I picked up the sword. I don't even know when I've swung my sword properly.
But I remember the winter when I was twelve years old.
Wheelken called Daise Mother that day and killed for the first time.
A dull club slaps Carl Marco in the neck.
“Huff!”
He slumps forward. I couldn't just kill him with a swing because I didn't have enough strength. So I practiced stabbing.
No one told me, no one showed me, but Whelken knew how to kill people.
“Ah.”
Someone in the crowd opens their mouth.
Everyone froze to death and couldn't talk. Seeing that, Whelken pulls two blades from the waist of this missing knife. It was heavy.
“I have to sell this. Mother.”
And that day, his life and his life changed.
Four days later, someone found two houses in the middle of the night instead of a bounty.
He looks at the man, speechless, and just bows his head.
Whelken examines the other two men standing behind him.
‘I can't kill you. ’
No matter how hard you try, you don't see how to kill it.
“What's your name? ”
The man asked.
“Shocken."
He looked at his red hair and his mother's hair in alternation and said,
“You don't look like me. ”
“It's not someone else's. ”
Mother said, as she spoke, she embraced the shoulders of Whelken.
“You can just leave. I'll raise him. Straight and true.”
The man looked at his mother without a word and said to me,
“Who taught you the sword? ”
Whelken looks at his blue eyes and says,
“No one.”
“Did you do it alone? ”
“I just saw it. ”
“…… this. ”
He cares for words and asks after a brief silence.
“Don't you want to be a knight? ”
“Knights?”
It was a word I heard.
The man with blue eyes asked again, without any answers.
“Is there something you want to do? ”
“If my mother is healthy...."
As I blurred the ending, he said again. The mother tries to intervene, but the man opens his palms and blocks her intervention.
“When you become a knight, you'll be able to protect your mother. There is a bed where you can eat good food and sleep comfortably. ”
Whelken didn't see his mother's face. Instead, you nod at the word that she can rest in peace.
Twelve-year-old Whelken acquired the castle of Ludwig.
Diez got a rich meal and a good bed. Whelken trained endlessly because their swords were good, and were knighted at 15.
“You have earned the Knight's throne, but it will be my hidden sword for the rest of your days. ”
His father and Count Van Ludwig said so.
Wheelken was not greedy. Without ambition and ambition, he would be lying, but he had something heavier.
If you load the world on one side of the scale and you load your mother on the other, she was heavier for Hulken.
On the day he was knighted, he quietly found his mother.
He was healthier than ever, but more worried than ever.
“How are you? ”
“I got my knighthood today. ”
“Ah.”
She was still beautiful and smiled well. And in front of her, Whelken draws his sword, puts it to the ground, and kneels.
“Knight Whelken swore an oath to the heavens and the gods. ”
“Wheelken?”
“For the sake of Lady Diaz, my black life will go on. ”
“No. ”
My mother dried Whelken, but Whelken still hasn't forgotten the prayer she prayed when he died.
I did not forget her desperation to take her life instead of Hulken's.
She was her mother.
And he gave up everything in life for himself. So Whelken gave her a sword.
That was his first vow.
There were no eyes on the red-haired knight and the red-haired lady who wept over him, but the oath was sacred.
“I will protect you for the rest of my life. ”
At that point, the dice only shed tears without saying a word.
To be honest, neither Whelken nor Diez took it seriously.
She didn't know she was going to be a hostage, and she didn't know anyone who knew the oath.
It was a self-contained shackle, and Whelken had no regrets for the rest of his life.

‘Chris.'
If you ask me why I believe in that knight with dark blue hair, I have nothing to say.
However, there was no time.
‘Servant, please don't touch me. ’
Earl van Ludwig was merciless, but honorable. He had pride in the walls of Sergado.
But he was not a servant.
“Please don't touch me. ”
At that moment, I don't know how I'm going to change. Hülken took up arms with the idea.
What will you do if Chris saves you?
Also, what would you do if it were the other way around?
“Please. Please, please. I hope I can take the risk. ”
