The Knight Eldania S2
06: Eldania

"Monster is getting more and more days." A sentence was spoken just like that when looking at some sheets of paper which was a document of expenses for the mercenaries. "If it wasn't for the boy, the knights and warriors wouldn't have had enough time to just rest." 

"Yes sir. If there was no Miss Irine, the spirit of the knights would have disappeared long ago. But anyway it looks like you need to recruit more soldiers." Speak this man in knight uniform to the only lord in the land of Helion. 

Expressing his opinion that the more the day is quite alarming. Until now still able to defend the north wall number two from a horde of monsters is a miracle. Unfortunately the physical body is also mental they are all obviously tired. Tired to face dangerous creatures that can come at any time without being predictable.

His blue eyes continued to glance at the document sheet that from the beginning lay beside his feet, because so many documents were piled on the work table, then some of them floated and fell. This man picked it up, and when read apparently it was a permit from one of his employees who asked for leave to go home.

"I don't have a problem with that, but does anyone want to go there? For the pay, I can add their wages. But at risk they could die before they even get their wages, right?" This man's words are insinuating.

Under the rules he made, the fee of the hired soldiers would be paid once a week. But most of the mercenaries have retreated because of the great risk of facing the monsters that are endless.

Being a soldier hired by the ruler of Helion is not a soldier to go down to the battlefield to finish off the enemy between humans and humans. But the enemy to be exterminated is the monster. Therefore, if you go there, what is needed is not only determination capital but enough skill. Because the size of the monsters they face is quite diverse.

"And one more problem, head chef of the palace, why did you suddenly return home without telling me first?" Both of his eyebrows were intertwined after seeing the piece of paper he was reading. Letters of permission for leave, what else is the leave taken by the head chef of the palace up to a full week.

He had absolutely no idea and the person who served as the head chef of his palace had already left first.

"In his village, the head chef still has a mother who is cared for by his sister, but right yesterday morning I got the news of his mother's death. So I just let it go, because you also just came home from your inspection." Answer this knight.

As the name suggests he has the status of a knight, but on one hand he has other duties because he is his personal assistant.

" Because it's been, that's it." Squeeze the paper and throw it in the trash. "Importantly the vice head chef, could still replace him. Even though it feels eleven twelve." This silvery white haired man.

"Originally your stomach can still be filled with food, so it shouldn't matter, right?" 

This man darted sharply towards his assistant. "It's easy to talk. Food is something to be enjoyed. One week of inspections on the north wall, you don't think I'm tired of eating sober food like that?" This man protested to his assistant.

"Well, all right...., what matters is that now you've come home safely and can eat delicious, right?" This knight, still trying to be patient.

"You're pretty fussy too."

"It's not you who's fussy. You can eat, you should be grateful." As for this man towards his master's speech.

The more he heard the words of his assistant, this man immediately threw two sheets of paper that had been made into a plane. "Go there!" Ketus this man, against his men.

"You're quite disrespectful." Still trying to be patient, he immediately picked up the plane-treatment paper lying in front of his feet and opened what was the contents of the paper that had been in that shape.

"Which is more disrespectful, than my assistant keeps fussing about prying me when I'm your employer." Said this man warning, that the person who holds the highest power is himself, who else if not him Duke Arvel. "If it wasn't you, I would've made you stay at Heion's border forever."

"Hehehe............" This knight just smiled broadly obtaining the fortune of this kind-hearted master. "Then are you sure you'll give them double their wages?" Ask. And a lazy look from Mr. Arvel to him was already an answer. "I'm going to put it up in some place, that crazy money is definitely going to come here quickly." Say this knight while folding the paper he got and keeping it in his uniform pocket.

CKLEK.............

After his departure, this man sat leaning back while staring at the ceiling of his workroom. But not yet able to sigh, the door of his room immediately opened violently.

BRAKK.......

"Can't you knock on the door first, Irine?" Ask Arvel while looking ahead. A girl with wide and hasty steps came to him.

"Sorry Duke!" Call this white-haired girl to the only person inside the study and the only person who is the ruler of this Helion territory. "This is emergency news!" Irine said again. 

The existence of two people who have the same hair color almost makes many people mistake them both for father and son. But unfortunately it is actually wrong.

Their relationship is none other than employer and subordinate.

"That's obvious from your panicked face." Say Arvel with ease. "So how's the emergency you brought?" Ask Arvel.

"Wall! The two walls suddenly suffered a crack of two hundred meters long!" Tell Irine to Duke Avrel.

"You're a witch, you're just in the fix, right?" The Duke of Avrel demanded this girl, considering the only person who had the rank of witch in his room was Irine.

But Irine interrupted immediately. "Don't you know? I am a combat-grade mage!, I cannot repair items or anything but destroy!" Irine is back to Duke Avrel. "You have to go back there! Improvements are being made, but they won't last long as they keep coming!" Added again.

"Why do you keep reporting, not anyone else?" Avrel immediately stood up from his throne, inevitably having to return to his place filled with an atmosphere that he could not easily overcome with only the capital of physical strength, but also magical power.

"I just finished my work an hour ago, but who would have thought it would happen like this. I'll take you away with me." Said Irine again. 

Irine had just returned from the north, but she had only just returned home and had received some bad news. Therefore Irine reported the information she got and invited Duke Avrel to go together.

"All right, we go together."

Irine nodded and walked following this big tall man. The figure that looks like his father, because the color of their hair is both the same, but than the father, because his face is youthful when he was just in the early thirty years, but also because of his, made him rethink that he deserved to be called a big brother.

______________________

This knight is now on his way from one place to another. Not that his job was to go to all the places in the entire Helion region. He would not do such a boring and exhausting thing, because he had his own way of telling the guild workers to spread the information he had to everyone.

[But.... It seems that, Miss Irine seems to be in a hurry? What urgent matter did Miss Irine get?] Think of this knight. He only had time to cross paths and answer questions about Duke who was still in the study, so he did not have time to know the information that Miss Irine had.

And in the middle of his journey, he accidentally saw there was one person who was being cornered by several men.

"Hey lady." This man's sweat to a girl who was about to break into the bar. 

"Why can't it? I saw them come in here, too." This brunette girl stepped on her tip, because the tall man was blocking what he wanted to see.

And the answer, made this man laugh. "Ahahaha........did you hear that? He wants to come in too." Said the big man with a face with a scar along the right eye to the friend behind him.

Then the other man came, saying, "Miss, don't you know? They can come in because they work here. Do you need a job here too? The job is easy." He said, trying to offer from the destination this girl suddenly came and wanted to enter.

"What's his job?" Ask with a plain face.

[This girl asked because she didn't know?, so plain. But his face was good too. ] The inner man, looking at the girl in front of him, asked as if he did not know what work women used to do while inside the bar. "You just need to deliver drinks to customers. Easy right?"

The girl gave a small nod, then asked. "How much is his salary?"

"That can be discussed, if you agree. Pretty good, for the living expenses of a girl like you. Can buy a nice dress to beautify your appearance." Persuaded again.

[What are the two of them doing to the girl?] This knight felt a bad feeling about the conversation the three of them were having.

"Also get a place to stay. You'll definitely never be able to get an offer like this anywhere else." Bargain again. [Of course the residence can be in the warehouse. Adding one beautiful girl, then I will get a pretty good profit.] He thought, if he could invite this girl, then he would be able to get additional money from his boss.

"A-" Not yet able to answer, suddenly a hand immediately blocked his view.

"Stop!" Speak this knight to the two men. "You better not accept both of them, they have other intentions." Give a warning to this girl.

[Damn it, he got in the way of my plan!] Knowing the existence of the knight who suddenly came was already a hindrance, he who did not want to make a scene immediately followed his friend. "If you want, just come back." He said, before finally taking his friend back into the bar.

"Why is she talking to both of them? From the looks of it, it was obvious the two of them had no good intentions, let alone with their offer earlier." These knights actually do not understand why this girl actually dared to talk to two people who even from the appearance and look of a creepy like earlier, just now, it was already proof that his intentions were also the same as the appearance of the two of them. "If you want to find a job"

KRUYUKK~~

"......................" Hearing the stomach voice asking for food rations, this knight stared down.This woman immediately lowered her head down and retreated a few steps back.

This knight finally understood the situation, anyone would feel embarrassed if it made others hear her stomach voice, this girl was no exception.

"Looks like miss needs to eat first." He said he was worried about seeing this girl like a poor girl who wanted a job and the only thing was in the bar. But since it prevented any agreement between the two men with this girl, the result was like this. "Will Miss come with me?"

"....................."

Understanding the girl's composure, telling her to go with the foreign man, this knight spoke again. "I don't mean anything bad, I want to take you out to eat."

"Thank you for the offer, but there's no need." 

The girl immediately turned around rejecting this knight offer well. It's just that because it feels bad to thwart the possibility of the girl accepting an offer to work at the bar, the knight immediately made another offer. "If you need a job, you can come with me."

Make the girl, undo her intention to walk again. 

"After I deliver this paper, you can come with me to a place where the job is suitable for the lady."

"Is that so?" Turning around, the girl finally came face to face with the knight and replied. " Come!"

"...............?!" This knight was a little surprised. [If you've heard the offer work, his face immediately changes for the better. But he was not afraid, immediately agreed to someone else's offer. I could have deceived him and done something to him. She's an unwary woman! Why not ask who and what I am first?] Her thought.

From there, the two men finally left together. With his own goals, Eldania was quite happy with the knight because he seemed to feel guilty about his actions just now made him offer him a job. 

It was a stroke of luck for Eldania herself. It had not been long in that city but it had already gained the favor of others.

[About what paper is he carrying?] Eldania was quite curious.

"If you may know, what's the name of the lady?" 

"I...., Eld." 

"Eld. Pretty good." This knight suddenly smiled, after hearing the name of this girl. "I am Evan, as you can see, I am a knight of the Helion army."

"Sister Evan?"

"............!" Instantly this Knight named Evan turned his head, as well as looking at the girl with a slightly surprised face. "W-sister?"
