106 Need For Evidence (1/2)

Bob and a few others who were injured are being treated by a town doctor.

I sit at a side thinking about how to take down the general.

Bob walks up to me, ”Why didn't you follow the general?” Bob asks me. ”It's not that easy Bob.” I say.

”A general knight is a commander of many knights, it's not easy to take one down just by killing one.” I say to Bob. I understand what Vasteria meant by gather evidence on their doing.

”To take down a general knight, one must first gather evidence against them. After all, a general knight is someone who is chosen by a paladin and paladins are trustworthy people within the councils. So to prove that a paladin was wrong to pick a certain general knight is not easy. You will be considered a traitor if you kill a general knight without any reasons unless you're on the higher hierarchy of the council.” I keep mumbling.

Bob seems to be surprised.

”What's the matter?” I ask Bob.

”How do you know so much about the knight system?” He asks me. ”Well, I just studied a lot of shit when I was a kid that my mom taught me. So I know a lot about knights due to that and plus my mom was a knight.” I say to Bob.

”Yeah...Jill Marshal was quite a famous knight.” Bob says.

I get up on my feet. ”Anyways, the simple fact is, we need evidence. That's the only thing that can help us take down the knight. Some villagers are not going to help here. We need a solid evidence.” I say.

”Umm...” A girl in a yukata who has long hairs upto her waist walks up to me. ”You see...There is something that can be used as evidence...” The girl says.

”What would that be?” I ask to her.

”You see...Whenever a person who is handicap tries to get treatment from the doctor that is provided by the council...They never come back...” The girl seems to be looking away from me. Is she scared of something?

”Are you trying to say that something like that happened to you?” I ask the girl. The girl nods. ”My brother, Shukai isn't back yet. He was a fully fledged knight and was working under the general of this town but one day he got into a fight with another knight over a woman. My brother killed the knight but his right arm got cut off by his enemy. So my brother went to get treatment from that doctor.” I hear the girl's story.

”What about this woman you speak of?” I ask the girl. ”She has disappeared from here...It's like there is trace about her...I remember though, the woman had a blue dragon tattoo on her neck and had blonde hair.” The girl says. My eyes widen. The only person who I know has that type of appearance is...Tsch!

”Alright, I will dig into your brother's case and try to find out what is happening.” I say.

”Please do...” The girl clenches her heart. ”His the only family I have.” The girl says. ”What's your name?” I ask the girl. ”It's...Tamura Urika...” The girl says her name.

*Pat*

I keep my hand on the girl's head. ”Everything will be fine.” I say and smile.

”Is something on your mind Henry?” Bob asks me.

”Yeah, I am about to break into the general's office, right now, right away and take any evidence I get from here.” I say to Bob.
