Translated by Tianic, edited by Grammarly
Once the IGTs buckled my armor, they spread out A few of my close elf warlocks replaced them to do further exams
”Viceroy, it's done now” Elves would never address me as a commander or a lord, which was another reason I liked their presence other than their pretty faces, ”The ar well”
”Noted” I nodded, ”Let me have a moment”
I intended to have a peaceful h sadly,soldier entered and told, ”Sir, Commander Wilder is here to see you”
”Wilder, bring hiht next time'
”Yes, sir”
Wilder, in his combat armor, strode in and stopped inches from my body He had his helmet in one hand, hilt in the other The man's face was seriously devoted and solemn
Looked like Wilder was not going to talk first
”Looking sharp now, like a general” I maintained my face, ”What's your business here for me?”
”Sir,” Wilder gazed atour last conversation”
”In such a short time” Nodded, said I, ”Tell me about it”
”Given ht, I still cannot move on”
”Then what?”
”I've only co And this is the difference between me and you as do you and Fischer That is why I can't deal with our relation by referring what you've decided for Fischer” Wilder's hilt hand clenched, ”I want to deal with it with my oay”
”I see” My eyes caught Wilder's little tricks so I asked with a smile, ”What will you do?”
”You knoell I'onna do” continued Wilder, ”And I'm a man of honor so here I am, alone”
”Just, cut the crap” I lifted ht”
”Okay, it's somehow important I wanted to boost up the air first… never ht drew the rapier
At the sound of the drawn blade, door curtain was lifted and a few guards rushed inward
I called off the guards because I knew at such a distance, if Wilder intend to end uards will not stop him
Wilder, with his blade, was only 3 steps away fro, our eyes were into each other's for a short moment
Eventually, Wilder made up his mind Firstly and slowly, the ht in front of his chest, then his wrist with the sword flipped The blade tip was inserted into the ground
”Er…knelt on one of his knees, preventing the latter half of my comment
”I, Wilder, do solemnly swear upon my name,” Wilder looked up to me, said with extraordinarily calm, ”I will always follow Cohen Kheda Today's oath will be the light of my deeds Whenever, wherever, whatever it is, I am, I do Cohen Kheda will always be my boss!”
Looking at he who remained on his knee for quite a while, I opened my mouth, ”Finished?”
”Positive”
”Then rise” I tapped Wilder's shoulder, ”You could just tell ?”
”I want to do it right in case I forget it” said Wilder, ”And you're supposed to say so to me in return”
”Me? Say what?”
”That's not hoorks! I knelt!” said Wilder loudly, ”I call this sacrifice, and how could you just stand there? That's not how a boss do things, eh?”
”No, I'reatly touched” I replied with caution, ”That is why I will forgive you for poking that hole in the carpet”
”What carpet?”
I hinted the ground beneath Wilder's feet
He looked over There was a narrow cut on the cloth due to his actions earlier This high-value cloth was a Clay City war trophy that had belonged to an AUF high command
”Listen to rabbed Wilder's shoulder with a hand, ”Next, pick a better location and please, please, please do not sabotage expensive belongings”
”That's your reply!?”
”Is it the first day you know me?” I chuckled, ”Don't tell me you just realized that”
”Ugh, forget it” Wilder shrugged, ”I knew it”
”Very good, now look after your troops Your battle begins soon” said I, ”I'm well aware of your intention Let's keep this between us”
Wilder nodded and excused after a salute His light steps told me the man was totally relaxed after days
”There's onna die harshly”
I walked back to the door curtain and told the guards, ”Don't come in without my order”
”Yes, sir!”
In the tent, I drew my black steel blade and walked a few turns around the cut on the carpet Finally, I closed my eyes
All noise vanished Clearly, I received the sound of steady heartbeat and breath froures One, two, three All life forms within a circle extended frouards have for nearby
The distance was not too far I'll have to make it quiet if I ever wanted to do my secret business
”Upon my honor, I sith an to say with the sound only I can hear, ”I'm loyal to Prince Fischer Summer till…”
The latter half of the oath I had to say it silently because, again, the guards busted in Ito a certain God, they will never know
