Dear My Knight

2. Rachel Cardia – (15)

***

It is like a flowing wave.

Rachel couldn’t help but feel the moment she saw Ashera’s sword.

The moment you naturally face the sword, the path of your sword goes against the flow without even realizing it.

Like water flowing straight through, his sword grazed, but the momentum seemed as if it would tear him apart.

Rachel drew her own sword down forcefully, taking a step back as her eyes lit up.

In that case, the current itself should be cut off.

Susssss.

As the numerous stems of blue aura touched the sword surrounded by fine red aura, the wave stopped flowing as if blocked by a huge wall.

The moment Rachel shook off the sword she naturally faced, and then took a step forward and tried to hold out her sword.

Rachel’s sword slowed unnaturally.

‘….’

The moment Rachel met Ashera’s face, she had to go through confusion.

The confusion soon clouded Rachel’s thoughts of using the Cardia family’s swordsmanship to compete with the Glead family’s swordsmanship.

Endlessly cold expression.

Looks like his emotions have disappeared.

However, Asherah’s appearance reminded him of someone.

I couldn’t figure out why.

In Ashera’s appearance, she continued to see the face of someone she knew overlapped.

‘Why all of a sudden.’

Receive the sword like a rough blue wave as if striking it once more.

I felt strange.

The face of her older sister kept coming to mind.

The image of her older sister, who was continually grieving over the death of her lover.

She visited for several nights, and even after trying to comfort her, her sister’s sad look did not disappear for a while after that.

Although the image of her grieving sister was a long time ago, she suddenly came to mind.

In the past, when the Cardia family was alive and well, her happy memories at that time were intentionally locked away, so she didn’t try to recall them.

She couldn’t understand why the memory came to her now.

Because of that.

Rachel could only block Ashera’s blue wave that continued to ferociously drive her, but on the contrary, she was unable to attack Ashera.

Having hesitation while attacking her opponent is many times worse than facing her opponent’s sword.

Since she was Rachel, she knew that through countless experiences, so she just repeatedly cut her sword every moment to block the rushing blue waves.

Glead’s swordsmanship, which seemed like it would be swept away by a blue wave simply by facing the sword, felt even skillful as if it was magic in confrontation.

At first glance, it looked similar to the sword technique Ed used to block his first blow, but the content contained within it was very different.

Quang!

“Queup!”

In an instant, there was a huge explosion, and at the same time, Ashera was greatly pushed away.

And it wasn’t just Ashera who was surprised by the explosion.

Even the knights watching the battle between Rachel and Asherah held their breath and grabbed their weapons. I couldn’t bear to get involved in the fight.

The orders of Ashera, who had spoken to the knights earlier as if they were commanding them while moving here, were also orders, and the battle unfolding in front of them was a battle that had already surpassed their realm.

Because they knew that if they used the wrong hand, they would only harm Ashera instead of helping them, so they had no choice but to watch and keep their place.

And even Rachel, who deliberately used a large amount of mana and shook off Ashera, stopped momentarily and recognized the building behind her.

“… It’s boring.”

Rachel intentionally throws her body at the same time as leaving her words.

Aside from her own confused mind, she didn’t like this place more than anything to continue fighting.

She briefly exchanged swords, but judging from Ashera’s level, it was not a battle that would be decided in a short time, and above all, if the battle continued, the aftermath would reach even to Ed, who was sleeping.

Or maybe the binge she had just had brought her to consciousness. However, even if he was conscious, the situation was not so good.

I had to leave this city anyway, and Ed wouldn’t be good for him even if he had a relationship with him.

Rachel, who quickly blew her body, and Ashera hurriedly chased after her.

***

“Keah!”

“Keuk….”

Her knights standing in front of Rachel collapsed too easily and fell.

With just a few swings of the sword.

The best knights of the Glaad family are dying helplessly.

Her knights surrounded her on all sides, as if trying to run away, blocking her movement, but no one could stop her properly.

As if the very expression of running away is wrong. Rachael’s sword was like a tyrant in itself as she fought against her knights.

On the contrary, it seems that he will not tolerate anything that gets in his way. Black mercy surrounded by red mana did not exist.

If you wield a sword, the knights are easily knocked down, to the extent that it can be said ‘for sure’.

Even if they didn’t learn all of Glaad’s swordsmanship because they weren’t direct descendants, they could use some of Glaad’s swordsmanship.

However, compared to Ashera’s confrontation with Rachel, their results were disastrous.

Ashera, biting her lip, tried to open her mouth as she held the corpses of the knights in her eyes. She couldn’t quite get her words out.

She wanted to send back all the knights who followed her.

Their deaths were nothing more than meaningless sacrifices.

The beast is Rachel Cardia.

If only I had known that he was a special mercenary with the nickname of bloody night.

Rationally, I had to step back.

Even her own act of arranging her knights at the beginning of her siege did not hold much significance.

So she has to send back at least the knights somehow.

I did….

“… No matter what I say here, the knights won’t listen to me.”

Asera’s deeply sunken voice.

The knights who heard her voice only ignited their fighting spirit.

No one answered.

“Yes. Unless Lady Asherah turns her body around.”

Of the knights who followed Ashera, Glenn, who had the highest rank, answered alone as if representing such knights.

He was also the only knight who did not lose her life while taking Rachel’s sword.

…… Unless she turns her body around.

That was Glenn’s euphemism that he should stop chasing Rachel even now.

And Asherah, she also understood Glenn’s meaning better than anyone else.

Because the existence of the beast itself far exceeded his expectations.

It was only right to turn around and go back to the Gleard family and inform them of this fact.

But I can’t… I couldn’t possibly do that.

She said that if she turned around right now….

Then what should I do?

How can I get this feeling that continues to burn in my heart right now…….

What should I do?

—-I killed him.

As she chased after Rachel, the voice seemed to still be heard clearly in her own head.

If I let go of that woman who casually said she killed Ed.

Can you accept that?

“… I am.”

Asera, with a deep voice, slowly opened her mouth.

-Saaah.

As the wind blows against a dark city. The wind continued to blow.

Ashera continued to move through the building, her entire body dyed in brilliant blue light.

Even so, Rachel’s back was not easily caught.

“Never… I can’t forgive her.”

The appearance of Ashera who continues her words with a determined tone.

It’s coming soon. No matter what he says to himself, he will not break his will.

That’s what Asherah replied to Glenn’s words.

Knight Glenn looked at Ashera with a calm expression.

He was the one who should inherit the Glaad family that no one could deny.

Obviously, even now, I had to persuade her lady somehow and go back. She couldn’t do that herself.

Lady Ashera, who always treated everyone calmly and rationally, lost her rationality.

Her tone of voice was so deep that she seemed to maintain her reason on the surface, but in reality it was not at all.

Glen noticed.

She had a vague understanding of how much she cared about Ed.

He gave her a signal, glancing sideways at the few of her knights he knew well among the ones following her.

If you can’t stop Ashera. Even in the current situation, I had to inform Eisen Glade.

The two knights who understood Glenn’s wink quickly turned around and turned their movements toward the Glead family.

Rachel Cardia.

I don’t know why the special mercenary suddenly performed a bloody trick on the Glead family, but Glenn felt that this was probably the karma of the Glead family.

The essence of being a mercenary is to act because someone requested it.

I’m already dead now, but Gora, Vladian Glad. Even if they all bought someone’s grudge, it wasn’t strange at all.

There were so many things that no one could forgive for what they had done, and even Aisen Glad didn’t say anything about them, even though they were definitely Glaads.

Perhaps the series of events that have happened now are being paid back for what Glaad did.

I just don’t know how Ed lost her life to Rachel. Maybe simply because she had her last name of Gleadra, it was crazy to think that she might have killed Rachel.

‘… But as for Lady Asherah.’

Asera Glade.

She is the hope and last light of the Glaad family.

Unlike his brothers, who were like fools, he was an existence that should never die.

Glenn, who has served Glad all his life and lived as her knight, is at this moment.

She promised herself that even if she died today, she must live as much as Asherah.

“… Even if all of Glaad’s knights die. I will follow her.”

Glen follows with a heavy tone.
