After some hours have passed, Roxanne returned to the inn she was staying at with her friends. She wanted to invite the girls to join her visit to Rudeth’s mansion. Right at the outside of the inn, she met with Devon.“Oh, Dev. Where are you going?” Roxanne could see Devon brought a bag with some tools and equipment.“Oh, hey Rox! I’m going to the monastery. I’m going to help the trio with renovating some rooms. Catch ya later!” Devon quickly ran away to the monastery.“Oh my God. How can I be so cruel to him …” Roxanne could feel her guilt rising up again. Looking at how lively and full of spirit Devon was, it made her uncomfortable. “There is no holding back! I must do it!” Roxanne thought that she needed to do it as soon as possible before her sentimentality conquered her even more.Roxanne went inside the inn and tried to look for her friends. Roxanne searched the bedroom but none of them were spotted. She then walked to the kitchen and the girls were all there. It seemed like the
Unos delivered Rudeth’s message to Devon as soon as they done with today’s job. Devon accepted the offer but he needed to go back to the inn first to inform his friends about the banquet.Devon went back to the inn and told his friends about Viscount Klein’s idea to hold a banquet in his mansion. The girls were looking forward to join in the banquet. They looked excited except Roxanne. Devon could see that Roxanne looked a bit down lately. He wanted to ask her directly but he thought that Roxanne might need her time for now. Devon also told the girls that he was going to visit Rudeth because Rudeth wanted to talk with him in private. The girls gave him a good luck and encouraging words and it made Devon felt even better. However, as Roxanne saw Devon left the room and headed to Rudeth’s place, she thought that it would be the last time for her to see Devon with his smile. She thought that Rudeth might want to see him because he already decided to kill Devon soon.D
On the next day, Baron Rudeth was invited by one of his loyal students, Duos. Duos asked his master to follow him to the construction of the monastery. Rudeth agreed and he went there together with his student.Arrived at the designated place, the construction of the new monastery was almost done. Rudeth was very proud of his students. They have done their best to rebuild the monastery. As an appreciation for his students’ hard work, Rudeth planned to treat them all with feast later. The students asked for Rudeth’s opinion about the placement of the furniture in each rooms. Rudeth gladly suggested them about his opinion. While Rudeth was looking around in each rooms in the monastery, he bumped into Devon.“Oh! My apologize, sir Rudeth! I did not see you coming.” Devon apologized. He was busy pulling big furniture with him. Rudeth was a bit amazed because Devon actually got that kind of strength. Rudeth could also see that Devon’s body appearance started to develop.
After Devon was told by Rudeth about the truth, he wanted to spend his last moments by walking around the city of Gallantros. He felt heavy to bid farewell to his friends yet. He wanted to comfort his mind and heart first by taking a walk through the city. He just arrived here in the city not so long and he already enjoyed living here. He kept on walking and see the busy town with lots of people.Some citizens knew about Devon. He was quite well-known because he has been helping out in rebuilding the city along with the citizens and Rudeth’s students.“Devon boy! How are you doing?” A middle-aged man called Devon. He looked like having a difficulty in moving some sacks of sand.“I’m fine, Sir. Let me help you.” Devon answered that man’s greeting and he quickly helped him to move some sacks to the house.“Oh, thank you boy. I can do it myself actually.” The man thanked Devon.“It’s alright, sir. I just want to help.” Devon tried to show of
Devon continued his way to the inn. However, his step was stopped when he saw a crowd of people gathered around in one area. Someone was announcing to the people about the banquet held by Viscount Klein. Devon could see that many citizens were very enthusiastic and looked forward for it. Viscount Klein’s idea was indeed very effective to unite the people of Gallantros.Not long after that, Devon could see some carts to the city and they headed to the direction of Viscount Klein’s mansion. They were nobles from other regions. Viscount Klein invited not only people from Gallantros to his banquet actually, but he invited nobles from other regions too to celebrate the recovery of Gallantros. Viscount Klein might be very famous.Knowing those nobles coming to Gallantros, Devon suddenly felt something was suspicious. He was not really sure about his sudden feeling but he could sense something dangerous. Because he was so curious, Devon tried to use his Master of Wit skil
Devon and the girls finally arrived at the inn and they gathered up together with the others.“Devon, how was your talk with sir Rudeth?” Fransesca started to ask. She looked a bit worried. “have you found the way to tame the demons?”“Hmm. I’m not really sure. Sir Dietrich was still busy with his job. We haven’t actually finished our discussion. Before the banquet begin, I’m going to see him again to discuss more.” Devon lied. He did not want to reveal the result if his meeting with Rudeth before. He was determined to tell his friends about his last moments in life and he was about to bid fareell to them but knowing that his revenge was not accomplished, he wanted to finish that thing first. That was why Devon did not care if he lied to the girls.“I see. Well, I wish you luck then, Bro! Once you have been cured, I …” Arwen suddenly paused her talking. “I think I wanna spend more time with you and explore the world!” Arwen said it out, her wish to be free.“I’m coming with you, Arwen
“Devon!? What are you doing here?” Rudeth asked. His arrival was so sudden.“Sir Rudeth. I need to talk with you four eyes!” Devon was eager to tell Rudeth about his new will.“I’m sorry but as you can see, I am going to the banquet now. I don’t want to come late!” Rudeth wanted to refuse. “Or, are you changing your mind?” Rudeth’s sharp intuition told him so.“Please, I beg you. Just some minutes is enough!” Devon was still persistent. He did not want to let Rudeth go.“What should we do, Master?” Unos who was standing behind Rudeth looked clueless.Rudeth could see Devon with his seriousness. It can bee seen clearly by the look in Devon’s eyes. Rudteh decided to to take Devon in private chat.“Unos, please wait here. I will let this boy have a chat with me inside.” Rudeth ordered his student to wait outside and allowed Devon to come with him to the mansion.Devon thanked and he followed Rudeth to the mansion. Unos kept
It was the night before the party celebrating the liberation of Gallantros would take place. As one of the key players making impact in the decisive battle, Rudeth was of course invited as one of the guests. Unos, Duos, and Tres, are his closest and most trustworthy of his pupils, so it was not any wonder for them to have their hopes high to be selected as Rudeth’s escort for the night. Especially when they were asked to come visiting their master’s chamber.“Guys, you’ve been summoned by Master Rudeth as well?” asked Unos when he saw Duos and Tres along the way. “Here I thought I would be a single candidate for escorting Master Rudeth.”“Trust me, each one of us thought the same way. You know that we became his pupils at almost the same time, making all of us equal,” replied Tres. “It’s either one of us, or all of us. There’s no in between.”“Why don’t we make this more interesting? Let’s place a bet, pool in some money and the winner will take all!” suggested Duos, showing his comra
