Chapter 64 The Knight is Coming (2/2)
”Your attitude is impressive. I like that.” Sylvester commented as he saw that the thin man was seemingly unfazed even if he was talking with a Divine Knight.
”I appreciate your praise, Sir Glaivewood.” The thin man quickly replied as a pleased expression appeared in his face. Clearly, this man is a fan.
”Well, I think the time for the idle talk must end for now.” Sylvester said as his displeasure from being blue-balled started to dissipate.
”Initiate Knight… Lecter.” Sylvester said as he looked at the nameplate on the thin man's uniform. ”State your intentions.”
”Salutations, Divine Knight Glaivewood.” The Initiate Knight said as he gave Sylvester a piece of envelope. ”The Golden Knight Academy instructed me to pass you this letter.”
”…” Sylvester did not say anything as he accepted the envelope, which was covered by a golden glow. He stayed silent for ten seconds before he gave a curt look at the thin man.
”You may leave now, Initiate Knight.” Sylvester said as he sat back on his chair.
”Affirmative, Sir Glaivewood.” If the Initiate Knight was confused, he did not show it as he hurriedly left the room.
”So, you received another letter from her.” Mia commented as she saw Sylvester's nervous look. ”Really, even now you are still this nervous?”
”How could I not be? This letter is personally made by my daughter!” Sylvester said as he held the envelope gingerly. ”There is no way that I could not be nervous!”
”Sigh, you really are cute when you act like that.” Mia said with amusement as she started to heat up a tea kettle nearby. ”Hurry up and read it. I also want to hear what Teresa has to say.”
”Hmph, I am sure that Teressa will be writing again on about how she wants to be like me.” Sylvester snorted as he started to open the envelope.
What came out of the envelope was a piece of paper, with some sentences written in it.
Sylvester frowned when he saw the paper, as if there was something wrong with it.
”Hmm, it seems like my daughter just wrote a very short letter this time.” Sylvester noted as he started to read the letter.
His deep voice reverberated across the room as he read the letter with enthusiasm.
[Father, I am too busy on training right now so I cannot write a long letter. What I can only say is that my Kill Mission will start on the day that you receive this letter.]
[Do not worry Father, I will succeed on my Kill Mission here in the Ursa Sector, and I will come back with the head of my Target.]
[That's all that I can say for now, so wish me luck!]
[P.S. Tell Mia that I said hi. Tell her that I also want to get a little brother too.]
”Pfft…” Mia snorted a little as she tried to not laugh. It was quite obvious that the last line in Teresa's letter sounded amusing to her.
”Well, your daughter really has a good sense of humor like you, Sir Glaivewood.” Mia said as she wiped the tears that formed in her eyes. ”I really want to see her-”
Mia was unable continue talking as she saw the expression on Sylvester's face.
Instead of looking amused, Sylvester looked extremely horrified and angry.
”What's the matter, Sir Glaivewood?” Mia hesitantly asked as she saw the unnatural look on Sylvester's face. Is there something wrong with the letter?”
”Teresa said in this letter that her Kill Mission will be inside the Ursa Sector today.” Sylvester slowly said as his face turned more and more pale. ”You realize what that means, right?”
”!!!” At that point, Mia realized why Sylvester looked so worried. ”In that case…”
”You told me that 2 new powerful Monsters appeared in the Ursa Sector earlier.” Sylvester said as he stood up from his chair. ”That happened just 6 hours earlier….”
A murderous aura then began to leak out of Sylvester, and even Mia could not help but step back in fear.
”If what my daughter said in this letter was true, then it means that right now, Teresa is inside the Ursa Sector.” Sylvester snarled as he took deep breaths to compose himself. ”This is not good.”
Mia's pale face could only nod numbly as she said,
”Currently, the Ursa Sector houses 2 new Monsters that can possibly kill any Knights that are around 3rd to 5th Class. Teresa only became a 3rd Class Knight recently. That just means that she… will be easily killed in the Ursa Sector by these 2 monsters…”
”F**k!” Sylvester's face showed his anger and even Mia has no trouble understanding his feelings right now.
Mia touched Slyvester's arms in an attempt to placate him as she said, ”Sir Glaivewood, I think I need to go to my brother righ-”
”There is no need for you to call your brother anymore.” Sylvester interrupted Mia as he headed towards the door.
As he walked, Sylvester's body glowed so bright that Mia was forced to avert her eyes.
A second passed by, and Sylvester's appearance changed.
He was now wearing a golden armor which covered his whole body perfectly.
There was also an extremely large halberd that was sheathed in his back. The size and impressive bulk of the halberd was enough to intimidate Mia, who had already seen this halberd for many times.
”I do not want to leave my daughter's life in the hands of your brother.” Sylvester said as he opened the door. ”I shall be the one to rescue her, and nobody, not even the King can stop me from doing so.”
”… In that case, I wish you luck, Sylvester.” Mia whispered as she gave him an encouraging smile. ”You might need it.”
”You know that I am a Divine Knight.” Sylvester said as he closed the door behind him. ”People like us are hard to kill.”
”… Just come back with Teresa, ok?”
”That is what I plan to do.”
