Seven Legendary Sword

Simple Life of Daughter and Her Father

The food served is not so luxurious, very simple just a few pieces of fish meat and white rice. However, what's in it for Zerlan to complain, he has never complained before about the food he will eat. It's just that the food certainly means a lot for the two people of front Zerlan.

"Master, why don't you eat?" asked an old man.

Zerlan raised his eyes. "Yes!"

"Don't worry, we still have plenty of food here! Master, you don't have to be ashamed to eat this food!"

The old man explained in a friendly tone, his wrinkled face still harboring a burning spirit.

"Oh, I see!"

Amila came with a bowl, after placing it, the contents of the bowl were filled with edible plants.

"Let's eat!" said Amila.

Zerlan didn't say much anymore, soon he ate the food that was served. They ate all the food with happy faces.

The togetherness that Zerlan got was quite pleasant, he had not felt this for a long time. In the past Naila always invited him to eat together, it all happened when he was a teenager.

Zerlan's hand gripped the bowl tightly, he couldn't accept the fact that Naila and all the villagers were gone.

Amila and her father were surprised by Zerlan's attitude that looked so serious.

"Master, is this food not delicious?" asked Amila.

Zerlan raised his eyes. “No, this food is really good! I rarely eat this kind of food!”

Amila was flattered to hear Zerlan's words, blushing her cheeks. "You can add to your food!"

"No need, this is still enough to fill my stomach!"

Amila smiled wryly while looking at the bowl in front of her, she didn't know how she should thank Zerlan for helping her life.

Everything seemed like a dream that she did not want to see again.

After eating Zerlan sat on the terrace of the house to digest the food in his stomach, he looked seriously at the mountain. “Huh… I wish this world would give me a clue!”

Amila came to Zerlan, she sat beside the man.

"May I know your name?"

Zerlan glanced. "My name is Zerlan!"

"Zerlan! Master Zerlan why are you traveling?”

Zerlan was silent for a moment, there was a feeling of reluctance for him to answer those words. "Right now I'm looking for the people who have attacked my village, I want to know what was the reason for the destruction of my village!

Amila felt great power and ambition from Zerlan's words. "Then what are you going to do after that?"

“I will walk for searching of the meaning of this life!”

"Oh, I see!"

"I see that you and the people in this village seem to be living under pressure, what really happened?"

Amila couldn't answer that. Her eyes started to drop which showed that there was something he didn't want to say. “We live in this village as laborers who are forced to work non-stop! We have to take care of the wheat that comes from Viarena Kingdom, we have to produce a very good harvest every year! If we can't do that then everyone here will be tortured!”

After saying that Amila's father went out to work, he wore a caps.

"Father, where are you going?" asked Amila.

"I want to work for a while, Amila wait at home don't come out again!"

Amila nodded.

Zerlan is quite concerned about the conditions between Amila and her father, they don't look so good living there.

"What did he say earlier?" Zerlan asked in a serious tone.

Amila slowly turned around. “Actually in this village all the young women will be brought to the Viarena Kingdom! If that refuses, there will be indescribable consequences!”

"That's why you chased by those three men, but why do they want to rape you, their only job is to arrest you!"

"It's like that, all women who will be brought are usually raped first except for women who have beautiful and high qualities no one will dare to touch her!"

Zerlan was a little annoyed to hear that, he didn't expect that the world he had thought peaceful had a bad story in it.

“What will happen if they find out that you managed to escape?”

Amila was unable to answer the question, even not getting an answer it was clear that what happened next was undesirable.

Zerlan feels sorry for Amila, he decides to stay at the girl's house. The problem that occurs is also because he saved that girl.

The day went on until nightfall, the atmosphere was quite calm. They standing in front of the firebox with some dishes of food.

"Don't we need to wait for your father?" asked Zerlan.

“No need, father might be late! He often comes home late!” Amila answered with droopy eyes.

Zerlan was actually reluctant to eat the food.

"Oi..."

They were both startled by a voice that came from outside the house.

"Whose voice is that?" asked Amila.

"Shhh…."

There stood 7 people with grim faces, each of them holding a sharp weapon.

"Those of you who are inside quickly get out, if you don't want to come out, we will kill this old man!"

The pupils of Zerlan and Amila's eyes widened, what the voice meant was that it was clear that it was Amila's father.

Zerlan slowly approached the door and peeked out from the gap. “I knew that they wouldn't let this girl go, but what should I do? If I interfere surely this girl will continue to be targeted by these bastards?”

Zerlan felt his back heat up, when he saw it was the effect of Cearuleus.

“Why is this sword acting again? Do you want to slash their throats? Alright, I'll do what you want!"

The 7 people saw the door open by themselves, the night atmosphere made it difficult for them to see who was going to come out.

Slowly a person's body has come out, the moonlight shows who it is. The man with a face full of anger was in front of them.

"Who are you? We want to meet the woman in the house!”

There was no answer, Zerlan's eyes continued to look sharply at the people.

“Tch… you seem like you really want to get into trouble! You guys attack this guy!”

Four people started walking towards Zerlan, they wore grinning looks. The weapons in their hands could not wait to slash through skin and flesh.

“Heheh… don't be arrogant first!”

The four people advanced simultaneously, Zerlan glanced at their faces. Everything that looks like it's in slow motion.

“This will be something you would never think of!” Zerlan moved towards them.
