The Knight Eldania S2
16: Eldania

An unplanned disaster, the amount of work that must be done finally makes them all already at the most tired point because they have to clean up all the chaos.

Until that night, they all managed to get a chance to rest and eat well, even though the food they got was cooking last afternoon. 

But everything feels like enjoying what they eat, because their togetherness in doing many things makes the food even more delicious.

That is what some people who enjoy togetherness feel.

“Evan, where can you get food like this from ordinary ingredients?“ Duke Avrel asked Evan who had just served him dinner. [The dish is very professional, as if this cook is a chef from a five-star restaurant. Though from the taste alone.this food is made from basic vegetables only.].

“Not you protest with food here that feels bad.“ replied Knight Evan. “ Because you have worked hard, therefore I bring good food for you.“ said Evan.

“Do you just found a new chef.“ His hands returned to eating his food. Each mouthful he felt a variety of spices that are quite strong on the tongue, but still feels good in the mouth.

“You can think of him as a temporary chef.“ replied Evan, still standing in front of his master who was having dinner.

With a triumphant smile, Avrel again said.“ Don't make it temporary, hire this guy to serve me a special meal forever. “ 

The desire that must be realized after tasting the four different food menus but have a new taste the first time he felt. The feeling of being able to taste food is full of nostalgia. Avrel did not want to lose that new treasure he had obtained. 

“Then, I will ask first.“ said Evan, then withdraw. 

After exiting the tent Evan let out a long sigh while staring at the night sky. He was again reminded of the events of this afternoon.

Can get great help from someone he accidentally brought. 

‘I told you, I can do everything.‘

A sentence spoken from the girl's mouth after successfully defeating Fallen with his own abilities, had succeeded in making Evan know the benchmark of the ability possessed by the girl was not ordinary.

[Himply, he has high self-confidence coming with me without further ado and is not afraid to face those two thugs. She was a female who even had the ability to defeat monsters as well as a Fallen within a short period of time.] Think Evan. 

Evan eventually realizes that all the courage and confidence of the girl is because she has the ability to overcome her own problems. 

‘Sir Evan, I'm only here for a week at most. The reason is only to get a job with high wages. Is there a job that fits my liking?‘

Evan is again reminded of the girl's wishes. [After seeing that he has the ability to fight monsters and can also cook, I let him do those two things at once. But...where is he now?] 

Evan went back to the next step, he wanted to take care of the deal he made with the girl. But from the afternoon after finishing cooking for Duke Avrel, his existence was no longer found.

“Evan....!“ Call someone.

Evan immediately stopped and looked for the source of the sound and it came from one of his friends.

“What's looking for me?“ evan asked with his flat expression after knowing that coming was the type of person who liked to look for gossip. So he already knew the possibility of why this friend of his, had suddenly come to him.

“What's right, you're the one who defeated all the monsters here alone?" tanyakanya. After hearing a lot of bird news, he prefers to ask directly to the person concerned.

Having only gotten those vague questions, Evan again walked away while asking back. “Who made up that story?“

“Eh..so that's not true?“ his face implied a slight sense of disappointment.

“Ya..it is not right“ while giving a tray to his friend. Evan then said again. “I can't possibly beat them alone. What's with the existence of some Fallen among the monsters." 

“Fallen? What is a monster that has more power than ordinary monsters because it can talk and also can cast magic?“ terka this guy. 

“Where do you know? Are you fighting them too?“ Evan asked curiously. Because the Fallen that Evan met was a creature that wanted to fight with the girl.

“Not really.“ Shaking his head slowly. “I only saw it with my own eyes when the foreign witch fought ten fallen by herself. So.. are you helping someone?"

Not getting an answer, the knight glanced at Evan and Evan did not listen to his story because his attention was turned in another direction.

[What is he looking at?] The inner knight was looking at Evan, looking up at the large wall ahead.

This man was looking for what Evan was seeing. His eyes frowned, and there was one person standing on the wall. 

[Miss Eld....what is she doing there?] Evan eventually finds the person he's looking for, but by chance the person he's looking for is on the wall.

“Evan...” Call her. 

But the master, just left without a word.

___________________

The truth was finally revealed. The delicious sensation of the smell of grilled meat that he had been feeling this morning, was finally revealed.

“So this is the scent that I felt this morning?“ Eldania muttered as he found out behind the massive wall over twenty-five meters high that was a vast land but filled with the corpses of monsters that had slowly turned into ashes from burning to charred.

Dania took a slow breath and then she exhaled slowly. 

[The way they removed the body was not effective enough. They cause air pollution. But since I've been granted permission to become a mercenary for a week, I will deal with their problems for the next week.] Dania then pulled out a rope from her pocket. That was the rest of the rope he had at the moment. 

Until the time came, someone suddenly approached him. “Why are you here alone?“ 

Already knowing who the owner of the voice just now without having to look at him, Dania slightly retreated back and sat on the edge of the wall barrier while saving the rest of the rope that Dania had just pulled out.

Eldania actually knew the meaning of Evan's speech was about where everyone was eating together and talking to each other so that they could mingle comfortably with everyone, but why was he alone here?

So Eldania made a simple excuse. “Because I like to be alone.“ That's answer. 

Evan finally saw the peaceful face of the woman in front of him. Though what was seen in front of the two of them was a vast field that was very dirty filled with the smell of rancid as well as burnt flesh. 

[But.he doesn't seem bothered by it all.] Look Evan. Evan felt that the woman in front of him was the same as Miss Irine. But there is something different about him.

The difference is, this woman looks like a person who always enjoys what she is doing.

“This is a contract agreement I have made for work for the next week.“ Diverting the topic from the awkward atmosphere earlier Evan gave a piece of paper to this woman.

Dania looked at the brown paper. 

“Do you not understand the language of our empire? If you don't understand, I'll replace it with a ya-“ language 

Dania immediately interrupted Evan's speech who thought he did not understand the imperial language of this Helion region. “Not that. I can read, but after reading this, would it matter if I added a little more terms?"

“It does not matter, as long as your terms do not violate from the terms we have.“ The contract letter Evan offered was directly taken by Eldania and immediately signed it.

“I just want my own soft mattress and tent, that's it.“ He replied, after signing the contract, because Dania was not a member of the guild.

“Itu-“ Evan hesitate for it. At first it was doubtful, but after a second thought because this woman was the one who would hold two jobs, then Evan did not forbid it. “Good.“ Evan has the intention that will give him a mattress on demand by using his personal money. “So please cooperate.“ said Evan, extending his hand to shake with him.

Dania looked at him for a moment, then replied “I'll work hard.“ Dania too, shook the hands of this knight. 

But when the two of them shook hands, something happened between them.

[It..!] Evan did not know what he wanted to say anymore after getting his hands on the job. Glancing at the hand he was shaking, Evan felt something. [Hand is soft and.small.] 

He basically knew that a woman's hand must be small. But Evan didn't quite understand when he felt her hand turn out to be soft. It was like not showing the person who had ever held a weapon. 

But on one side after shaking his hand, his originally tired body had now become light. His body felt fresher as if he had just woken up from his deep sleep.

[He was a man who worked too hard.] Inner Eldania after knowing that the person in front of him was a person who had been tired, but forced on. Eating it, he secretly let out a little of his holy power. “Tonight rest in peace.“ Mumbled. 

As long as it is a living being, when it receives holy power, then automatically their body will get blessings, in addition to health, then all the diseases suffered will be cured. 

But it depends on how strong, holy power is expended.

On the other hand, Duke Avrel who had just finished his dinner, after coming out of his tent he finally saw the two of them. [What is he doing there?]
