Chapter 38 (1/2)
38.THE THREE MAKE THEIR MOVE
The three came to stay at Kail´s home. It has been a long time since they´ve come to stay at one another´s place. Havella became happy just by that, but seeing the grim faces Willian and Kail had, she hanged her head down. Of course while she herself was depressed, she was still expressionless as always when looking up close.
“So it is about Count Vrad… I understand your feelings, but that was stupid. Far too stupid.”
Kail said as if he was spitting those words. He was angry at Havella´s imprudence, but he was much more angry at his powerless self that was, nor was consulted. They would have definitely stopped Havella if she consulted them, or if they were to at least help her, they would have definitely been able to deal with Vrad.
“Havella, the end of an a.s.sa.s.sin is about whether to die during the mission or to die after it; that´s all there is to it. It isn´t something you can r from. You should be aware of that, right?”
Willian said in a persuasive tone. However, his heart was far from being tranquil.
“…But, it was a chance to kill Vrad.”
Havella tried to make an excuse. Kail immediately clenched his fists, but Willian calmed him down.
“Because of all that happened, I will be bluntly telling you that. To me, Vrad is nothing more than a little problem anymore, and besides, in this city, there is no way the three of us can live comfortably together. What you´ve done was completely useless.”
For the first time now Havella´s expressionless face was dismantled enough to the point anyone would notice it. Kail gave up on stepping forward and calmly leaned against the wall.
“I think of you as my important friends that are even more important that my life. I never had any doubts about that, and it won´t be from now on that I will. I swear this on this path I follow that this will definitely never pa.s.s up on that.”
Willian lightly hugged Havella, who seemed to be about to fall in tears.
“But you know, it is exactly because of that that we being too close to each other is dangerous. If I make any blunders, of if any of you do, we will all be goners in case we are too close to each other. There are many risks that can be avoided just by not getting too close too me. I would rather not entangle you two into my ambitions, Havella.”
“You can´t! There is no way I can accept!”
No matter where Willian was to go, to Havella, he would be n.o.body else other than Al. Willian gave a wry smile. It was exactly because of that reason that Havella couldn´t understand why they had to part ways. No, perhaps rather than understanding, it was something that was instead difficult to accept.
“Let´s put off this for later. We should focus on Havella for now.”
Composed words. Havella glared at Kail due to the coldness she felt from those words. In the end, Havella prioritized her own opinion over theirs. That was the same case for the other two. It was because of that reason that they wouldn´t fight over about those kind of things. If the time they would do so came, then…
“It is just like Kail said. Not only there is the pursuers from the a.s.sa.s.sins guild, but the city too has also started to become turbulent. The amount of time we bought is not much.”
Willian released Havella and sat down onto a chair. He put on a thoughtful posture.
“Are there any methods? I can´t think of any way other than to escape from the country.”
Havella shook her head when she heard that. It was inadmissible that she would have to get separated from them. Havella liked the two to the point she would prefer death if that was to be the case. In any case, she emotionally dependent on them.
“The worst way to do it is to keep up running around the city like that until it cools down. Because the kingdom is the a.s.sa.s.sins guild special playground, they will definitely not give up. If me and Kail were able to protect you all day and night, then it would be different, but the amount of time I will be fighting in the wars is too long, and Kail has his job too.”
“…You don´t really need to protect her the whole time.”
Willian ignored Kail´s comment.
“The most safe and reliable way is to escape the country. Once you cross the borders, it will be difficult that the influence of the kingdom and the influence of the guild reaches you. Even the guild doesn´t have the spare time and have limited personnel. Even if one or two follows, then Havella should be able to do something about it herself. If Kail goes along with her, then she should be completely safe.”
Willian wanted they would go for this method. After thinking back on how it would be like then, he started to feel it would be lonely, but it was still the best option for both of them to have a future. Willian´s path was too distant from other people. If the possibility for the two of them to become caught in his affairs was to become absolutely zero, he would be able to feel relieved.(TL note: -><二人を巻き込む可能性が限りなくゼロになれば、ウィリアムも安心して博打を打てるというもの- i=”” don´t=”” know=”” how=”” -=””>博打を打てる<- fits=””>
