16 A person who knows everything. (1/2)

”Miss Izumi sure is running late today, she is usually here before you come back from your walk, Shin.” Ryu complained as he glanced towards the entrance of their workshop.

”Shin, leave it at that and tend to this sword, we have to deliver it in two days.” Ryu ordered Shin as he placed a sword on the anvil.

”Got it, Mr. Takahashi.” Shin left the other work and started to tend towards the sword Ryu placed on the anvil.

”Dad....brother Shin....” Ken came rushing into the workshop.

”I heard that the seal on one of the DK's army is going to be broken soon, Areon would be their first prey if they are free....and I heard something else...”

”What is it?” Ryu asked as Shin and Ryu diverted their attention towards Ken.

”I heard a rumor that even though it's only one of the DK's army, he is coming himself to deal with it.” Ken sounded as if he wished it was true.

”I do hope what you are saying is true. How long do you think before he arrives here?” Ryu sighed as his hopes of survival rose.

”I heard he is going to start out in a few weeks and arrive within 4 days after he starts out.” Ken sat down as he uttered the whole rumor.

Back in the city Protector's office, Zeyner who always looked calm had a face with mixed emotions. He was walking to and fro at a slow pace in his office.

”You called for me, sir?” Izumi entered Zeyner's office, fully aware of the reason why she was called.

”You already know the rumors and the reason why I called you, don't you...?” Zeyner questioned her as he made his way towards his table.

”I have a rough idea, sir.” Izumi had a serious face on her as she agreed.

”Take a look at it...” Zeyner handed Izumi a letter that was on his table.

Izumi read the letter and confirmed that what she heard was true. She sighed as her face displayed mixed emotions that were similar to Zeyner's at that moment.

”Sir, him coming here is a good thing, he will make sure that the people and city are safe...after all, he is the Commander of the protectors, next in charge of the kingdom after the prime minister an his highness.”

Izumi exclaimed as she tried to calm down Zeyner.

”Izumi don't stop talking after telling me the good that happens if he comes here, continue with what you think is the reason for him to come here... you already know it...” Zeyner sat down after tiring his legs down walking to and fro for a while.

”I suppose the reason might be because he anticipates that one of the DK's army is going to be free from it's seal.” Izumi's face darkened as she uttered those words.

”Exactly my point...you know what Izumi, what the psychopath said a few days ago isn't entirely wrong. No one can seal back the Demon Kings except the seven guardians or the overseer with the Divine spirit, his highness. But only three guardians remain and we don't know what happened with the king.” Zeyner stated as he calmed down.

”I guess it's time for the people to know the truth. I am sure, the commander knows the whole story, after all he is the commander and is famous for his nickname 'A person who knows everything.'.” Izumi said as she leaned over the wall with her legs crossed.
