The Ruler of the Two Continents
CHAPTER 32 - TRUTH

Moments passed, Gardden met the general on the rampart. The general folded his hands on the side of the fortress wall, his hair was waving in the wind, his gaze was empty, he looked at the village below which was slapping and already filled with houses.

“ Luzen, someone wants to talk to you.” Gardden touched the General's shoulder.

“ Gardden? Who wants to talk?” The general spontaneously turned to aeeah Gardden.

“ Hey! Here you are!” Gardden had someone behind the shadow approach them.

“ Oris?.” The general turned around and faced Oris, the blonde-haired girl who was looking down with a frightened face.

“ I'm sorry sir, I have lied to you.” Oris wept and knelt before the General and Gardden.

“ Oris, what is this, wake up” General holds the shoulder of Oris to rise from his knees.

“ What is this Gardden? ” General turned to Gardden.

“ Hey, quickly explain to General!” Gardden, who had folded his arms around his chest, patted Oris's upper arm roughly.

“ Gard, don't be too rough on women.. “ General warns Gardden.

“ I'm sorry sir, actually.actually the father of my baby is not the master General, but Gariel my lover, he left after we did.” Oris cried and could not continue speaking.

“ Then, the incident in that room?.” The general looked at Oris seriously.

“ Master did nothing to me that night, I did deliberately go to the room of Mr. General, I undressed master, then slept next to you..I did this because from the first look at the master I miss the man like the General master so much, the longer I like the master, and I want the master to be the father of dar-”

Plaque!!

Gardden slapped Oris to the floor.

“ Gardden!! what is it for!” The general was angry with Gardden.

“ Don't know shy!” Gardden is still a little angry.

“ Build Oris “ General orders Oris to rise.

“ What you did was so stupid Oris, you know what happened to Merlin? He left because he was so disappointed in me that I did nothing. Now I don't know where he is. Where should I find Merlin! Do you care about him?!” The general looked furious, but then he was silent for a moment.

The general sighed, and held his forehead.

“ Well Oris, because you have lied to me, and because of your behavior Merlin is gone, then I have to punish you, forgive me Oris, but you have to leave the fortress, find your lover and marry him”

“ But sir, where should I go?.I have no place to live, while I am pregnant.Please sir, let me stay here for a while.” Oris.

“ That's your business!” Gardden was again rude.

The general was silent for a moment, then raised his face up while closing his eyes, then he rubbed his face.

“ Alright, I let you stay temporarily in the fortress until you give birth, after which I will make a decision again. Now go ”. Oris nodded and left in front of the two of them.

“ Have you not been too soft on him Luzen?.he has fooled you!” Gardden was not satisfied with the general's decision.

“ Behold Gard, the important thing is that I know the truth. There is still much to think about “ General replied calmly.

The two friends turned their bodies and looked at the expanse of villages and fortresses that were getting crowded by the day.

They talked on top of the fortress until the sun rose.

A week has passed,

Harlmon looks drunk and walks uncontrollably. Leon who met him asked about his chaotic situation, Harmmon said that he was saddened by the disappearance of Merlin which until now has not been found.

Almost the entire fortress is saddened by the loss of Merlin, not least the General. He often clasped the fur coat Merlin had just made. But the general and his friends must continue their work.

Drake's fortress-owned jewelry store is the largest in the city center today, as it is most frequently visited, and because it is the only store selling pink diamonds.

In the center of the city, the General and some of the men who were with him were in the midst of a bustling trading atmosphere, they rode on several horses.

From a distance the general saw a crowd of people and a commotion, they approached the crowd.

There was a man tied up with a rope around his neck and his hands were being beaten by some men, and in front of him was a noble-looking man on a black horse smiling sinisterly at the beaten man.

The general and friends who saw the incident approached them.

“ Hey, Hold on! What is this?!” Leon got off his horse, approached and tried to stop the man who beat up the man.

“ Akh! Whoareyou? What is your business?!” the man who hit turned to look at Leon.

“ Hey, I just asked what is this?.why was he beaten up in a crowded place like this?!” Leon tried to explain.

“ Hoy trash!, you are interfering with my pleasure, go there!” the noble man on the horse voiced out.

Leon approached the noble man, then pulled his foot. Leon quickly got the man's neck.

“ You call me trash?!” Leon brought his face closer to the face of the noble man who was already in Leon's grip.

Suddenly everyone who was there was shocked and afraid of the behavior of Leon, a big-bodied man who was furious.

Some subordinates of the nobleman who tried to help his master, were all easily beaten by Leon. All fell down.

The general and some of his comrades just looked up from the horse, they did not come down much less help, because they thought Leon alone was already able to defeat the weak warriors as he saw it, because he thought, and sure enough, some of the soldiers under the noble's subordinate attack, no one dared to go forward against Leon.

Now it's time for Leon to beat up the noble man who called it ‘sampah’ earlier.

Leon hit him in the face several times and kicked him in the stomach until the nobleman groaned in pain, when Leon wanted to hit him again, the General stopped him.

“ Enough!.Already comrade, leave his life to talk..” The general came down from his horse and approached the man lying on the ground in his luxurious clothes that were already irregular.

The general knelt down with his raised heel not touching the ground.

“ you're a nobleman?” the general asked, his arms resting on his knees.

“ What do you care!” the nobleman tried to wake up with his battered state.

“ I'm asking you.” The general pushed the noble man's left shoulder with his sword still in the sheath until the man was lying down again.

“ Yes, I am a noble! And all of you will feel the consequences of having done as you please to me!”

“ Then what was the mistake of the man there” The general pointed to the man who was bound earlier.

“ He's an assassin, he's a spy archer, Organization ‘Eagle’, he has killed my brother” the noble man explained.

“ Eagle Eyes Organization? “ asks the General still confused.

“ You have never heard of the organization?, huh, you little hick!”.heard the words of the noble man, the General then stood up…

“ Leon, I'm done talking to him, you can do whatever you want, or just send him to hell” General casually turned around and approached the man who was bound earlier.

“ Jaangaann!!! Aaakhh..” The nobleman's cry was deafening. It turned out Leon had only broken his arms and legs.

“ You come with us “ General help the bound man to stand up and take him to the horse.

Finally they rescued the man named Denzu and took him to the fortress.
