Chapter 115 - Chapter 18: Auction #7 (2/2)

Carack mouthed while hiding against a wall. He was hugging Nayatra tightly with one hand, while his other hand covered her mouth.

‘A complete kidnapper.’

He felt sorry for Carack, but there was no other interpretation of the scene. In-gong jumped from White Eagle and approached Carack.

“There was the sound of fighting over there, so I had to hide.”

In-gong nodded. Carack was currently unarmed, and he was carrying Nayatra. He would be unable to counterattack properly, so going out would just lead to death.

“What about that big guy? I heard a huge sound.”

“I made it so he can’t chase us.”

In-gong responded and looked at Nayatra. He could only see half her face since it was covered by Carack’s large hand, but she was accepting the situation quite calmly.

It was indeed Nayatra, who had been called the ‘Ice Knight’ among Zephyr’s subordinates. Instead of struggling to escape from Carack, Nayatra stared straight into In-gong’s eyes.

Fear and wonder could be seen in that calmness. In-gong narrowed the distance with Nayatra, and instead of giving her the same greeting as when he had first encountered Vandal, In-gong delivered a name to her through magic.

‘Rafiseria.’

At that moment, Nayatra’s eyes widened. She tried to speak despite her mouth being blocked,

‘How— How do you know that name!’

Nightmares were a species known for indulgence, but there was a contradiction. Although they joined their bodies easily with others, they had one true love.

There was only one in their life, and once found, they would never betray their love. Even their parents weren’t allowed to know their true name. This name was something that only their true love would know.

‘The path that Zephyr used to learn it was a bit different though.’

A nightmare slave was forced to tell their master their true name. Since the name itself contained magic, the nightmare couldn’t go against their master.

‘Rafiseria.’

Nayatra fell into confusion after hearing her true name. The calmness, that hadn’t been lost due to the kidnapping, collapsed completely.

In-gong glanced at Carack, who then let Nayatra go. In-gong grabbed Nayatra’s hand and said,

“I’ll explain everything later. Just follow me once. I don’t mean to do anything to you.”

Nayatra’s eyes shook, and she bit her lip before nodding.

“I understand. It is an emergency, so I will listen to the story later.”

“Yes, thank you.”

In-gong sighed with relief, not that it was unlikely that she would vanish.

‘There is a high chance that I have the things Nayatra is looking for.’

In fact, he had one more reason to smash the floor and destroy the place where the auction items were stored. He had placed the auction items in his inventory.

In Knight Saga, Vulcanus was like a villainous merchant, so In-gong’s conscience wasn’t affected.

Moreover, if he left the items there, they would have been lost or destroyed by Paratus.

‘It is a good thing. Uhh, yes. That’s right.’

In-gong coughed and opened his inventory hurriedly. He didn’t know what items he had gotten aside from the Dragon King’s Golden Helmet, but now wasn’t the time to look through them one by one.

In-gong took out a dwarf axe and shield and threw them to Carack.

Then In-gong looked back at Nayatra. She was amazed by In-gong, who had pulled the axe and shield out of the air. However, Nayatra held a dagger in her hands—she was a skilled thief and assassin.

“Nayatra, follow me. And Carack, I will lead the way. Protect my back.”

“Understood. Be careful, Prince.”

Carack smiled and stepped back. Nayatra’s eyes widened again.

“P-prince?”

The shock in her eyes wasn’t like when females met the idol singers they worshipped but a pleasant surprise in the eyes that were as calm as a lake.

‘That reminds me, didn’t Nayatra like fairy tales?’

Moreover, it seemed like her personality was more active than it had been before she became a slave in Knight Saga.

“I will also explain that later.”

In-gong said with a smile before starting to run.

“Shutra!”
