The Knight Eldania S2
46: Eldania

Taps……….Taps……...Taps……..

The sound of footsteps that were getting closer then made Arga immediately prepare with his presence.

SREK…..

The hand that brushed off one side of the curtain that was used as the entrance to the tent made someone go straight out of there. “ We moved. “ The voice immediately greeted one of the knights who was in the case for interrogation. 

[As usual. When he's serious, he's really cool. ] Inner Ernald. The figure inhabiting Arga's body, next to Arga's original soul is still confined in his subconscious.

Eldanian….

The girl walked over to lead Ernald to move places, going to a safer place to speak four eyes. 

They both walked down the Helion Wall. Under the pretext of patrolling, the two of them actually went to a place far away from where they lived.

SHUHH……….

The night wind again became their companion in addition to the silence between the two of them. There was no talk between the two of them for more than fifteen minutes walking. There were only natural sounds and footsteps from the two of them.

[ Here..the way to the lake. ] Inner Ernald.

But Ernald went to follow the girl from behind. 

Until just as Ernald had guessed, the lake the size of a football field had finally become a real place for the two of them to chat with each other.

And Eldania finally stopped right by the lake. 

“ So say. Who exactly are you. “ Eldania's love to Ernald. 

Despite having a presumption who is the figure who is his interlocutor at this time. But Eldania preferred to get an answer from the person directly. 

SHUHH……..

The cold wind instantly brought them to a nostalgic feel. 

Ernald closed his eyes for a moment. He tried to organize his heart and then began to answer the curiosity that was in Eldania. 

“ 14 June 2021. Do you remember that date? “

“ Eldania was silent at first. He then turned his body backwards. 

What happened on June 14, 2021?

[That's the date I was forced to help a homeless man who was dying from being gang-raped. ] Thought Eldania.

Eldania recalled the time from the date mentioned by Ernald. 

At that time, he found a boy with a thin body and dressed in ragged camping in a small alley around the city.

Regardless of the state of his body that is quite alarming because of thin dry and seen a lot of bruises on his body, the child he saved was actually a child blasteran. 

And the son that Eldania or Alinda saved that time was Ernald.

So she really never forgot her blond hair and blue eyes that were similar to the blue moon Eldania had seen for the last time in her previous life.

“ On that date, you saved me. Al.......”

“ Sttt Eldania immediately hissed, interrupting Ernald's words at once. “ Even if you say that, it doesn't mean that I believe right away. It could be that you are an enemy that has the power to seek out the intricacies of my past. 

In this world, many things sound impossible but in fact can be done at will, because of magic. So I can't just trust you, even if you say you are. “ Clearly Eldania once again, while emphasizing the name Ernald with a little force. 

Eldania remembered who Ernest was. But that does not mean he immediately believes all the words thrown from the mouth of the man in front of him. 

“ And..don't call that name again. “ Eldania again reminded this man, so as not to mention his page name.

Eldania immediately felt strange to herself, seeing the man in front of her suddenly smiling weakly. It was the expression of someone who had just felt relieved.

“ What the fuck with your smile that is?“ Eldania was amused to see the man who usually had such a serious expression, just showing a gentle smile to her.

Ernald slightly lowered his head, then replied. “ I just feel relieved. “ replied Ernald. The look in her eyes was a feeling of happiness and sadness. “ I'm relieved, because I can meet you again, in this foreign world. At least I'm not alone anymore. “ Ernald told Eldania with what he was feeling right now.

“. Which part of you is alone?“ Sela Eldania with selamba.

“ That's not what I mean!. “ Ernald yelled in annoyance at Eldania, as the girl instantly broke her harrowing mood.

[He's the Ernald I know. ] Eldania only hid her feelings that began to trust a little to someone who was in this Arga.

Ernald's.

In the past, sometimes Eldania took the time to tease Ernald as a joke that could make Ernald himself scream angry dislike. And his absurdity, became evidence that in front of him this was indeed the Ernald he knew. 

“ Then, I have one question I want to know. How did you die? “ asked Eldania bluntly.

Ernald instantly set his expression again.

“ .........................., if I answer that I lost a duel with Rudolf, do you believe?“

“ If it is. I believe. Because Rudolf is basically better than you. “ Dania answered very honestly.

DEG…..

Speech without feeling, it also directly refers to Ernald who lost a duel with Rudolf because of different experiences.

“ So what makes you duel with a guy like him? I just feel lazy to treat people like him. “ Eldania sighed softly when recalling from her past memory. It cannot be counted how many sins he has committed. It was the darkest experience. 

Ernald looked the other way while answering. “ Because of you. “

“..............? “ The contents of his head were filled with question marks. [What does this have to do with his death? ] Eldania thought hard for a moment. And the answer is……. 

Ernald had expressed his affection for him that night, and that was the trigger why Ernald dueled with the man who had killed him at that time.

Eldania fell silent and turned around. He turned his back on Ernald within three meters.

“ I'm actually happy, it turns out there are people I know from a previous life. “ Eldania began to express his thoughts. 

Eldania began to believe a little that the person who possessed Arga's body was the Ernald she had known in her past life based on the momentary conversation earlier. 

“ Having met me, means that your dream has come true. But it's better to get here. “ he added again. Eldania said so, actually to keep a distance with Ernald. 

“ What do you mean? “ Ernald was surprised, suddenly getting a farewell-like remark. 

I haven't seen each other for a long time, but will we be separated so soon?!.

“ You always do stupid things because of me. So I thought, it's better to stay away from me. Do what you like, other than me. “ Eldania explained once again. 

[ Again?!] Ernald, who did not accept his words that had another meaning to keep his distance, made Ernald not hesitate to withdraw Eldania's hand. “ It can't. “

“ You have your own life in this world. And I have my own life too. 

I remind you, the time you waste for your ego is not a waste. But to me it's a pity. 

You're wasting your own feelings on someone else who can't even reciprocate your feelings. Change that mind. In addition.....” Eldania turned towards Ernald. The figure who is the passenger body belongs to Arga. “ You have to think about the other people who are in that body too. You're not alone anymore. “

“....................” 

Ernald slowly let go of the hand. And let the woman he had been looking for all this time, go and leave her alone by the lake.
