Chapter 008 - Then We Will Just Have To Eleminate Him

"This is suffocating! I don't like this raining anymore"

"Hmm, so where are we heading?"

"The capital."

"Capital of the water country?"

"Yes"

"Your knights are there?"

"My knights? Yeah I guess...they are my knights."

Finn whispered to himself the last words while they were running on the wet paths. The sound of their footings on the watery paths can be heard clearly. There's a clear sign of agony on his face. He just wanted to explore the world.

He just wanted to see what a true vast sky looks like. But now, a king? Knights? Why do I have to meddle with them? I don't want any of this inheritances, powers. I just want to explore the word and gain new knowledge.

"So how are we going there?"

Finn's thoughts broke there. He gazed at Galliyan for once. What is his relationship with him? They aren't even blood relatives.

He cares about others lot. But day by day his emotions were drying. When a person fully emerged himself with books, he start to lose he sanity. And after sometime, he will feel like it's a hastle to meet with other people.

After he got the book of inheritance, he was so amazed by the book, he became fascinated with it. But now? Last wish? War with other clans? Why he has to become a part of this?

While losing his sanity a bit by bit, he still remained a kind hearted man from the heart. If he was not, he didn't have to go there to save them now.

" How else? This is water country, will take the water route."

"So, is that any different?"

Finn nor Galliyan ever travelled a long distance by water. they were both came from a tiny world.

They had rivers and ponds there too. But they are just river in name...Actually they were just some creeks at best.

"I can see the the jetty from here"

"Huh? Where? I can't see anything?"

"Leave it. You can't see with your eyesight. But that's huge! I never saw something that big before."

The size of the large jetty make him realize again, how little frog he has been till now. Steadily and slowly, they reached the jetty.

The boats are huge too. A magnificent sight. So many lights and decorations. The river, is as large as it can't be. How big is this Water Country?

On the map he saw the this river as only a thin strip of blue line, like all other maps have. He felt that, he needs to accept the reality that this big grand world can offer, he can no longer acts like a country boy, or the people surrounding people who sees him as a noble will suspect something.

"Can you take us to the capital?"

"Hmm, the boat is almost full...but...you seem to be a noble from royal court. I can't say no to you."

"Thank you very much for your grace. So how much is it?"

"Nono, what grace is in it. Oh, that will be 500 aqua for others, but i will only take 400 from you"

"400? I don't have that much with it, But how about if i give this?"

Finn took out a chunk of a remaining gold. He doesn't have much. The living cost in this world is ridiculously high.

"Oh! This? Now I am sure, you are a very high class noble. Get on! I will take you there"

And after a few minutes when everyone boarded the big boat (it's as big as a ship), The boat sailed out.

Round Table Of The Youngstars,

7 people were sitting in the dark. While every one of them has 2 guards behind. It's easy to understand that these people are the young patriarches and their most trusted knights.

"Did you guys see the the book's map?"

"Aren;t we gathered here because of that?"

"What about the others?"

"They weren't that interested or, they don't know about this yet."

" Of course, Of course. Those guys do think themselves as highly talented individuals. they don't even need the book. They only use it to bind the contracts between them and the knights."

"Yeah, right. After all they aren't slacking off like a certain someone."

"Pftt."

"Did you something to me?"

"No, No. I dare not, I dare not. I am just saying, I was busy training. Why did you guys asked me to come, anyway?"

"Don't you feel anything? About this matter?"

"Why shouldn't I, but I think you guys are enough to handle this. Why bother with me? Those cult bastards aren't here either"

Phew! Crackle! A very short dagger broke the tea pot, which was on the table .

"Oh! You are here too! I don't understand. Why don't you just sit normally with us?"

"....."

"Yeah! Yeah! I understand. Stop your 'I will leave my mouth shut' act"

"Enough!"

"Start the talk already. What should we do with this guy?"

"Naturally. Like we allways did. We will see if he can be usable, if not, then..."

"Then we will just have to finish him before he grows?"

"I heard those Triton guys have his knights as hostage?"

"Those sneaky bastards. We hardly ever found them. But every time they disappear before we catch them. Like some deity is helping them. For generations, neither our predecessors was able to catch the previous Shezmu knights"

"They must have noticed the knight-contract glowing on the book."

"Fascinating. Sancus ancestor really was a genius. The contract he made back then is still as effective as back then."

"So? What should we do? Not every clan's youngstars know about this thing. Only we know."

"Let's do nothing for now. Just send some people to secretly find them and follow. He will must go to Water Capital, Sparter to find his knights."

"Then let's emd this meeting here. We can't let the clan heads know about our secret meeting."

"Hahaha!"

"Why are you laughing?"

"Aren't you too full of yourself? 'Not let them know?' Do you think they don't know when we are doing what?"

"Do you mean, they know and still..."

"Yes. They are testing us, to see what we will do"

"....."

There's a long silence for a while.

"So then, I am going back to my training. Sure to mention me the results. If you refrain from doing so, that's okay with me too. I don't have so much free time like you guys."
