Second Chance

Iron Gauntlet walked around for a ith his legs clenched together, and no longer appeared at the breakfast hall

–It was told that since then he really didn’t go to the ‘Mermaid’ anymore

The “Eagle Mercenary Troop” silently disbanded, the roups Many of the extreet the past

The elf no longer asked to join the knight’s table, of course, he had no need to do so

Everyday when he walked into the hall, people would always jostle to ask him to join in this or that mission

Undoubtedly the elf was popular, and very suited for teams

Only after working together once, he would be able to reh he didn’t speak ood listener On the occasion that he did speak he would h and cheer

Of course, he never forgot his greetings Other than the knight, the naer

In the end, gradually, it beca, everyone”

This is good, the knight thought

This is where he belongs

At night he would watch the courtyard fro there, silently shooting twenty four arrows into the target, taking it down, and then repeating this until the church bell sounded twelve o’clock

The elf’s movements became more fluid

Frohtness of the bow(1), it could be seen that he was slowly regaining the strength he lost

If it was possible to end this civil war as soon as possible, he didn’this hands with blood

If he perforht even be a chance at amnesty

How ridiculous, to become a criminal because he didn’t kill so more people

The recruith there wasn’t much details, the requirements and expected rewards were listed very clearly

The request were for a party of ten The knight shook his head, preparing to leave

When he ainst the elf

“Good , Cain” The elf said

The knight continued pass as if not hearing

“Ah… please wait a moment”

This is a first

The knight stopped, turning to look at him

“Um, I know you only take on solo missions,” the elf looked hesitant, “but is it possible to break that rule once? You know, that the crown is recruiting parties of ten, the reward see a warrior”

The knight was silent, but his heart had started to beat rapidly

Too dangerous Refuse him

The elf’s green eyes carried expectation and trust, his face was a little pleading
