12 KNIGHTS
2.

A black-robed person entered the dark room, with a trembling and cold sweaty voice he approached the person in blood-red clothes who was behind him. 'Do I have to tell you about the red crystal stone that the Eastern knights have found, I must have died after this' inwardly while remembering the cruelty of the person in front of him is very frightening. "My lord the Eastern knight has found a piece of red crystal stone, what should we do?" he said in fear.

"Why isn't your job so bad, didn't I tell you to watch their every move, do you know the consequences of your carelessness?"said the man dressed in blood red as he turned around and revealed his dreadful face, there were many scars on his face. Yes, it was the Dark King who led his kingdom so cruelly and inhumanely.

With great fear the black-robed man immediately praised for forgiveness."Even though your servant master was unable to defeat the knights back then, the shield protecting the crystal stone had been wiped out by someone. The knights are very strong, servants are only weak people," he explained at length.

"who can destroy that powerful shield, even I can't destroy it myself, do you want to fool me?" the Dark King said furiously, 'how could anyone possibly destroy the shield made by the first king of the Night kingdom's inner dark king.

"Although my Lord, it is a woman from the mountain of Death,"

"a woman?, how is it possible"

"Sorry my lord I do not know"

"you must pay" said the king, swinging his sword and reciting a spell.

"sinninggg.." Everyone in the room was frightened but did not dare to move or make a small sound. They know the nature of their king who is cruel to those who do not obey his orders.

"Prepare the equipment, I'll find out everything myself, there's nothing to expect from this everything is useless" the dark king said as he put his sword and sat on his throne again.

*On the lake*

"Why are you so stubborn, do not want to give up at all" said Naor who was tired of hearing Catherine's babbling, who was,

"Do you feel like knights will apologize, to people like you"

"Then why do knights ask for help from people like me?" catherine said harshly.

"hey hey, how can you talk to a knight like that, anyway I give orders instead of asking for your help"

"Well, besides being good at arguing, it turns out you're also good at denying" Catherine didn't expect a knight to say that."All right then I'll just go home" Cathrine said as she walked around,

After walking a few steps, the slippery road made Catherine slip.

Naor who was already upset did not want to ignore Catherine again, but saw catherine almost fall, Naor swiftly caught her catherin until they embraced.

'what happens is why my heart is pounding, oh my God why she looks so beautiful' Naor's inner self admires catherine silently. Catherine who felt the situation was not right immediately distanced herself. Before catherine spoke Naor first said. " I will make a contract, I will grant you three requests, if, if, you will follow my orders?"

Without a second thought the catherin refused "i object".

"Alright then I want to see if you can get out of this place alone". Naor looked around, he had from the beginning realized the arrival of the stalkers who wanted to kill him.

Catherine who ignored Naor's words was about to leave, Naor who saw her stubbornness Catherine was worried because the stalkers could attack at any time.
