Chapter 400 - 400: Ash? vs Estel part 3 (1/2)
[Rewinding time by a bit]
[Near Dungeon Entrance]
[Guard A point of view]
”Oh, so you're are a traveler, it's rare to be one this day” [Guard]
”Everyone said that” [Ash]
That, that was our first meeting with Ash, which most will come to known as the Behemoth Slayer or the guardian of children
”Who would have thought that he will be one of the most important man when we first met them” [Guard A]
”No one. I mean, he did introduced himself as a mere traveler back then” [Guard B]
”Ohh, we are reminiscing the past is it” [Guard C]
”Can't be helped, we will all go to the wedding of Rean and Samurai Jacks, so none can help but take a trip down the nostalgic road” [Guard D]
That's right. Speaking of nostalgic road
”That time when we couldn't stop the Duke army that kidnapped Alice was it...” [Guard A]
”I'm just glad it wasn't the Duke Son marrying her” [Guard C]
”Everyone feel the same. If it wasn't for The First Prince insisting it's fine for that idiot son... Sigh... I should feel bad mocking Sir Ceanu Reaves younger brother” [Guard B]
”Sir Ceanu Reaves is a good person, that's without any doubt, but to think his family members are all corrupted...” [Guard D]
We were injured, trying to stop the duke personal army passing through the gate at that time, and we still remember how furious Ash, Jacks and Princess Diana were. Who wouldn't, but at the end of the day, justice was served
”And then there were your repetitive cycles of Ash having to go somewhere, all the while he's reluctant to go” [Guard D]
'The first case being the Thanatos case in Malsia was it” [Guard A]
”True. Though what even crazier was the fact Princess Diana brought those orphans, just because of another dispute” [Guard C]
”Hahaha, we were shocked beyond disbelief when their signature bus golem try to get through the entrance” [Guard B]
That we are. There's also the time where he together with Sir Crow tried to fool the guard at Kiserre so that they can enter and help Queen Rinz. We were not told beforehand regarding their methods, so we were baffled when Sir Crow brought so much of his staffs toward Kiserre, but at the end of the day, their plan to enter Kiserre succeeded
”To fool one enemies, one must fool their allies first” [Guard A]
”Not gonna lie, I thought Sir Crow was just your typical noble brat back then, but look at him now” [Guard B]
”Together with Sir Ceanu Reaves, they're dubbed by gentlest of nobles” [Guard C]
”Haha, how envious” [Guard D]
”Wasn't it during that time the SS rank monster, Mahsuri start moving as well” [Guard B]
”Oh yeah! It was during that time!” [Guard C]
”We were paralyze due to fear when she suddenly shown up in front of us all...” [Guard A]
”I must admit, I peed my pants a bit...” [Guard D]
But the one where all of us could'nt forget, no matter how hard we tried, was that day. Specifically two days. One when Ash was reluctant to go into the Holy Palace to investigate the fallen god related incident. They go there with total number of 4 people, but when they're all done, Ash was there no more. We were among the first to receive the news of what happen, since we were there, asking Saint Louis about it. How our hearts stopped for a moment, in a total disbelief...
”And his siblings... Gosh... I swear for the first one year, they couldn't really smile” [Guard A]
”I still remember, Singa, Savel and Charlotte trying to enter the dungeon on the middle of the night, because they wanted to search for Ash by themselves...” [Guard B]
”That was a heartbreaking moment for me. We easily apprehend them, but the way they struggle to bypass us while trying not to hurt us...” [Guard C]
”Rean and Princess Diana literally broke into tear at that time when they were told. Not gonna lie, I cried as well...” [Guard D]
Those three were simply longing for their brother at that time, as such, even us could'nt really blamed them for trying something so foolish...
