Chapter 19 - Chapter 3: Rescue #2

Conquest Knight.

The woman with pure white hair wearing a golden crown.

In-gong wanted to learn more about a Conquest Knight and its skills.

'Punishment, obedience, governance.’

Weren’t those words related to conquest?

Protagonist Correction might be the cause but he was more focused on the Conquest side.

Prince, Conquest Knight.

An occupation and skills that hadn’t appeared in Knight Saga. Did Chris and Caitlin know about it?

Both Chris and Caitlin thought about it instead of answering In-gong directly. However, that was only for a moment. Chris shook his head.

“I don’t know, I’ve never heard of it. Caitlin, do you know?”

Caitlin’s response was a little more sincere than Chris’ but the result wasn’t different. Just like Chris, she shook her head.

”I don't know. Is that a nickname for someone? Is it a warrior on your side?”

Conquest Knight. They never heard of it. It was quite interesting.

Even Chris, who liked stories of warriors, didn’t know?

Chris clapped his hands.

“Yes, there is a possibility. Shutra, do you have a warrior called a Conquest Knight? I would like a knight like that.”

His eyes lit up at the story. In-gong laughed awkwardly and waved his hands.

”No, it is the same for me. I just remembered hearing it from somewhere.”

It was pretty dangerous when he thought about it.

In-gong didn’t know what a Conquest Knight was yet. In other words, it meant that other people could be Conquest Knights.

What if Conquest Knights were a danger to Chris and Caitlin?

‘Caitlin and Chris...’

No, even Caitlin might want to harm him.

'I was too hasty. I shouldn’t have mentioned it.’

He needed to find out as much as possible about Conquest Knights by himself. In-gong realized that he shouldn’t talk about Conquest Knights.

‘The risk is too much.’

In-gong controlled his mind and concentrated on the front again.

‘It isn’t all smoke and water... If Chris and Caitlin don’t know, should I go to the library?’

It wasn’t an entirely new thought but he went back to it after not finding any clues. There might be a record there.

‘In the end, it is just a feeling.’

No, was it really a feeling?

The white woman with a golden crown. The red flame-like woman. The skinny man dressed in a black robe and the blue man wearing a skull helmet.

The appearances of the four people became a blur in his head. In-gong felt dizzy.

”Hey, are you okay? Are you not feeling well?”

Chris, who had been walking ahead, looked back. He called out with surprise as In-gong’s eyes rolled back and he stumbled.

“Hey?

”Ah, it is nothing. I’m still a bit sleepy.”

In-gong rubbed his eyes like he was sleepy and gave a small yawn. Chris made a ‘hah’ sound and turned back to the front.

”Aigoo, you are still a kid. You should have been mentally prepared from the moment the operation started.”

He was saying insults but his eyes were smiling. In-gong had thought so since they first met, but Chris was just like a nice neighbourhood hyung.

“Do you want water?”

Caitlin extended a canteen from where she was walking next to him. She was making the same expression as Chris.

“Thank you.”

In-gong wasn’t particularly thirsty but he took the canteen and took a sip. Throughout the past few days, she had been acting like a really friendly noona.

Although In-gong had only met them for a few days, he could tell how close they were to each other. It was understandable since Chris and Caitlin were lycanthropes.

‘It will be a nightmare if one of them dies.’

When Caitlin died, Chris would go wild. If Chris died, then Caitlin would go on a rampage. That’s why they were called blood-crazed beasts.

In-gong handed the canteen back to Caitlin and looked to the front, where he saw Chris staring back at them. Chris just smiled before turning away again.

In-gong had a sudden thought.

‘Does Chris know?’

Did he know that Caitlin wasn’t the child of the Demon King? That her father was Gallehed, one of the five captains?

There was barely a two year difference between Chris and Caitlin. Chris had only been a baby when Caitlin was born.

However, Chris was part of the lycanthropes’ royal family. As the son of the 4th Queen Elaine Moonlight and the Demon King, he had grown up to become king of the lycanthropes.

It was difficult to imagine that he didn’t know about Caitlin, the lycanthropes’ greatest weakness.

‘And...’

In-gong glanced towards Caitlin. She kept walking forward as she responded affectionately to In-gong’s gaze.
