Chapter 231 - Volume 3
Chapter 10 – Territory (4)
Tirste looked up. The forest was filled with myriad shades of green. His thirty-seven knights under him were strewn all around him, lying quietly for all eternity amongst the decaying leaves. They were killed quite some time ago.
The sword injuries on the young Viscount were throbbing with pain, and every time he took a breath, he felt needles poking into his lungs, causing him to feel dizzy.
He turned his head to look at the ghastly knight staring back at him in the shadows. He realized that he had most likely fallen into a trap.
[The information came from the Unifying Guild’s internal department, and there’s the proof of the Oubourous sigil— Unless Megeska is a damned traitor.] (TL: Megeska is from the Unifying guild and also the commander of the Silver-Winged Cavalry)
Tirste expelled the air in his lungs with a bloody cough, and he subconsciously searched for the sword that was knocked away from him. But even if he was in peak condition, there was no way he could fight against the opponent before him.

Brendel’s face was even in a state of shock when he heard the name.
Scarlett let out a small yelp. Even though she did not understand what all the fuss was about, as an Aouine’s citizen, she had heard the most famous story about the King Erik the kind, and the Lionheart sword he possessed. She wanted to ask Brendel for confirmation, but he already answered in a hoarse voice:
“How did you know?”
