Chapter 37 (1/2)
37.THE STRONGEST APPEARS
The capital of Arcadia, Arkas. It wasn´t the most outstanding capital among the seven kingdoms, but there were only a few people in the whole world that would say it wasn´t a great capital. The for being able to hold such a big amount of people and its productivity as a capital could only be said to be something that could only be expected from one of the seven kingdoms. However, it was because it was so big that there was unsightly things, and also people hiding in places that was difficult to find in this kingdom.
“!?”
Lurking around Havella were the people that lived at this dark side. All of them were using the same uniform. They had masks on their faces, so their expressions couldn´t be guessed. What filled the place was an inorganic killing intent. Seeing they came to that place, Havella wielded her knife.
“An a.s.sa.s.sin that fails in killing is not an a.s.sa.s.sin.”
“Death to the one that isn´t an a.s.sa.s.sin any longer.”
“This one must die.”
There wasn´t anger, nor sadness, nor happiness, nor anything at all. They were existences that were made only to kill people. Those were the a.s.sa.s.sins that were members of the a.s.sa.s.sin´s guild. All the people were lacking any kind of emotion.
“…I can´t die. I still, can´t…”
The one f with emotions n.o.body else other than Havella. Even though she was normally an expressionless girl, there were many emotions jumbled together that simply wasn´t shown in her expression. She didn´t know how she was supposed to express them. Those emotions even without her expressing it in her face to begin with, so she didn´t care.
“The three of us, I will live together with them!”
The three of them: Al, Kail and Havella. They were connected.
“That one must die.”
One of the a.s.sa.s.sins jumped in front of Havella. Havella readied herself for battle.
“s.h.!.+”(しっ！)
Havella skillfully handled her knife. If it is of the level of the opponent right in front of her, then she should be able to cut through. Actually, once they started crossing their blades, it was Havella that was at the advantage. However…
“This one must die.”
With two of them…
“Not yet!”
Taking on two opponents, it became a balanced fight. Havella´s movement wasn´t limited to just being nimble. Gravity not being felt in her moves would be an accurate description of it. But even so….
“You will die.”
With three of them…
“Gh!?”(ぐっ！？)
Havella was kicked from behind and fell down. Havella moved around like a b.u.t.terfly, but once she was caught, all was to no use.
“You will die.”
Without unnecessary movements and without even an instant of hesitation, the knife covered in poison approached her throat. It was a deadly poison that would immediately kill by a single scratch. Without pain or agony, Havella was now going to….
“Sorry, Al, Kail.”
And so those were Havella´s last moments….
