Chapter 133 (2/2)
”Gaaaaaaaaak! My hand! My hand!!”
Mendini rolled on the ground as he held his wrist as it spurted out blood
Nevertheless, Muyoung's face didn't even change in the slightest
Hyacinth
However, that was all
Even if she grew up sheltered in the Underworld, seeing a corpse was still an everyday experience
”As a Prestige Knight, there is only one person I serve Not the Sun Guild, and no one else So, you can be more confident”
It was obvious who that one person was
Only one person
The sweetness in those words was enough to bring Hyacinth to her senses
Hyacinth clenched her fist as she looked into Muyoung's eyes
As if she wasa promise silently
The news about Mendini losing his hand spread far and wide
Of course, a lot of people swarate Hyacinth but whenever they did Hyacinth clearly spoke
”Mendini oppa tried to ht, he just did what he needed to do”
”There is no way Mendini would do that! You are just lying to protect that knight!”
”Second eldest unni[1], it's not a lie”
”He said that all he did was approach you because he gained interest in your painting But, you cut off his hand? I didn't know you were that spiteful”
The only ones who lived after watching the incident were Mendini, Hyacinth, and Muyoung
However, the story of both sides was coive others more faith in was unfortunately Mendini's
”I' to do by continuously insisting that it's a lie? Are you tellingme with this many soldiers?”
A few hundred soldiers were positioned inside and outside of her room
However, Hyacinth didn't yield an inch
Normally, she would have bent down
The woman as called the second eldest sister seemed a bit taken back
”Of course! We are the foundations of the Sun Guild An outsider who suddenly appeared tried to kill one of these pillars Is it not obvious for hiive up his life?”
”If we can't bridge our different viee have no other choice Wasn't the system the 'Trial of Swords' made for these situations?”
”You…?!”
The woman widened her eyes
The Trial of Swords
It was a system created to battle for the truth when a situation arises where people couldn't bridge their differences and it could not be resolved by basic rules
Simply, it was soer person was the winner
However, it was moderately acceptable in the fact that the swords spoke the truth
That system was mentioned by none other than Hyacinth
And Muyoung stood behind Hyacinth like a great mountain
'She is wise'
Hyacinth was young and softhearted but wasn't siirl
To protect herself and Muyoung, she instinctively knew that this was the only way
She needed to advance forward and not bend the knee to live
Muyoung was planning to forcefully drag her forward if he needed to but it was a good thing she realized this on her own
”Do you knohat you are saying?”
”I do It is a trial against each other by betting each other's seal”
All the children of the Sun Guild had a seal
That seal itself was all of their strength
The Trial of Swords was a fight with everything on the line
”I'll no to be you, unni? Or Mendini oppa who is now sick in bed?”
”You… were you always this sort of child?”
”It was brothers and sisters who made me like this”
Hyacinth didn't back down even an inch
Hence, the woman as fed up with her turned her body as she clicked her tongue
”If you want, I understand Let's have a Trial of Swords It seeht or whatever he is but there are er people in our Sun Guild”
As if it was too late even if she regretted her decision, the woman stared at Hyacinth once before she walked away
All of the soldiers followed the woman
Shortly after, Hyacinth sighed deeply in her empty room
”Whooo! I'”
”Everything will turn out well”
Muyoung was certain
Nohile Alexandro is vacant
Through Hyacinth, he was going to infiltrate much deeper into the Sun Guild
'To strike root and absorb its nutrients'
There were a lot of places that only Alexandro and his deputy could enter
Even Muyoung was reluctant because of the maximum security
However, if Hyacinth collected the faher authority, he would be able to enter those places
Even though Hyacinth was arranged to be uild, it was only on the surface
On top of that, if Hyacinth was able to gain authority, she would be able to refuse that sort of promise
The Sun Guild was a place with that sort of strength
Even more, it was told that there was a mountain of numerous hidden treasures and information in the Sun Guild
Even in the past, Muyoung was unable to properly steal from this place
It was exciting just by i what could be in this place
A moment later, Hyacinth spoke as if she relaxed a bit
”But, when did you start talking using the familiar form?”
”Is it uncomfortable?”
”Uood I like this better”
Muyoung wasn't sure as good but Hyacinth nodded after thinking for a second
Co to an internal decision, she continued to talk
”From now on, when it's just us, call me Hya It's my nickname I only allow people who are close toit Hya”
”I'll say it later”
”Not later, now Hya!”
”Hya”
At the same time, Hyacinth blushed her cheeks
”Gogood job Continue to call me that”
As if she felt aard, she plumped herself onto the bed
Muyoung sat beside her
Within the silence, a trust was formed
The substitute Mendini brought was an experienced warrior with a red beard
Bastille
He was a strong h to be in the top 300 hu's flames
Bastille's red beard was on fire due to Muyoung's dragon flames
Thud!
Then, everyone looked at Bastille who lose consciousness and fall to the floor, as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing
An unexpected change
An unexpected change close to a natural calamity had occurred
Nowas, Bastille was a warrior as labeled as one of the strongest within the Sun Guild!
”This, this is unbelievable…”
Mendini atched this scene from afar, foamed at the mouth and passed out
The tradition of the Sun Guild
He lost in the Trial of Swords
He bet his seal on the trial
The seal was his strength, his authority, his everything
Since Hyacinth had taken that away from him, Mendini's future was crystal clear
