Chapter 497 - Pale Skin (2/2)

They all respectively bowed to him as he entered.

”Alright, it's time for you guys to grab your things, it looks like we will be heading off in an hour or two,” Kyle said.

Watching the kids pack, Kyle noticed that Claire was moving only slow compared to how she usually would, as if she had something on her mind.

”Sir,” Claire suddenly said. ”Is it true what Jack said, he said that it's possible that Harry has been possessed by the shadow, and to keep a lookout for ourselves.”

”Jack told you that?” Kyle thought, surprised. Him and Lenny had suspicions, and Lenny did say he would warn a few people, but for it to even reach the words of these kids. He was unsure if that was wise or not. If there was a current chain of command, then right after Ray, Harry would be next.

If it got out to the soldiers and they were having doubts about their leader, it wouldn't be good.

”Whether it's true or not, you guys have nothing to worry about with me by your side.” Kyle said drawing out the Raven sword, he swung it in the air a few times, cutting the air.

”You saw my skills against Gary, the best swordsman Avrion has ever seen, Even if Harry has been infected by the shadow, I will be there to protect you,” Kyle smiled.

He wanted to squash any worries these kids had, they only just became knights, and even during the last battle had minimal involvement, but with a smaller group being selected to head to this fortress, they could very well be relied upon.

”Who did you say you could beat in a sword match?” Harry said, entering the room from behind. ”It seems after that single win against Gary, you have become extremely arrogant. Oh, sorry it wasn't even a win, Ray had to save you, isn't that right?”

When the others looked at Harry, he didn't look like his normal self, his skin was paler than it usually was and his tone sounded almost aggressive when speaking to Kyle.

”I was just joking about, you know me Harry,” Kyle laughed. ”But Harry, are you alright, your skin, it's so pale.”

Lifting his hand, Harry looked at it for a few seconds.

”Ah this, it happened when I was getting rid of the dragon bones. I don't know how, but I feel fine.”

”Are you sure, maybe you should go speak to Lenny, see if something happened, those bones even affected Ray after all. Are you sure you really got rid of the bones?”

When Kyle asked this question. Harry's face  turned upside down, he looked at Kyle with a death stare glare. He was certain of it, those Bones had affected him in some way, just like they had done Ray. The same way Gary was affected by the Dragon hammer.

”Are you questioning me?” Harry said, stepping forward.

Kyle stepped back and looked at the young knights, each of them looked nervous, unsure of what to do. After all, technically Harry and Kyle were their superiors; they weren't allowed to go against them.

Even if they had a suspicion Harry was under the influence of the shadow, he showed no signs apart from more aggression than usual.

”You said you could beat me in a duel right, then why don't we have a go?” Harry said, pulling out both his blades.
