Chapter Two *The Village Of Mercenaries Knights*

“It's Mrs. Marklin, she is getting sicker.”

Lewis said.

Andro gave out a cry.

“Mrs Marklin!”

Andro was freaking out. Furthermore, the leader was back riding the horse as Liam followed him,out of curiosity as well as Lewis.

The three of them ended up in front of a dirty wooden building consisting of a couple of floors and each floor has two rooms.

Andro was seen rushing into one of the rooms on the first floor to see a woman laying on the bed, tired and a young girl almost their age sitting near her.

“Mrs Marklin!”

Andro panicked, immediately approaching her.

“You're going to be okay!” Andro said with a shaky voice. The young girl stood up and took some steps away, leaving enough space for Andro and Marklin.

“Is she his mother? ” Liam asked Lewis, who shook his head with a no.

“She raised him, besides, she is his secret keeper.”

Lewis replied, looking at the ground with grief.

After spending some time, everyone could see their young leader weak for the first time.

The leader didn't like that, especially with a stranger in the village.

After getting himself together, the leader ordered Lewis to stay with her and ordered a doctor or as the called them a healer to see her. That wasn't their habit.

“Andro, you can't skip the village rules and get a healer for that slut! Let her die”

That was Max's voice that suddenly appeared out of nowhere after Andro's orders were spread in the village and there was news of their presence at the women's house next to that patient.

“How dare you, Max?”

Andro said quietly.

Before the leader straightened out of the seat next to her and pulled the sword out quickly.

“If anyone is dying today, it would be you. Plus, I will supervise your trip to the angel of death myself,”

Andro said

The sword was hugging Max's neck.

“Andro, there's no need for this!” Lewis shouted terrified.

“Nobody interferes,” Andro yelled.

“You fucking dared to say something like that, not to mention you know who she is to your commander!”

Andro yelled, grinding his teeth from anger.

“Yeah, the woman who raised you after her friend died, her friend was a”

Max was being ridiculous in respect of his neck pain, but Andro interrupted him.

“Watch your mouth! You're talking about the leader's mother.”

Andro warned him very strongly.

“Both of them...”

Max couldn't have completed it, because Andro was moving the sword slowly on his neck, making some blood spill and the pain increased.

The voice of women has raised in fear.

“Sir, you're going to kill him.”

Lewis said.

“He deserves to die.”

Andro yelled in return, with a broken tone that made Liam come forward to try to break the fight.

“Stop, your majesty, please.”

Liam whispered, trying to pull the sword out of Andro's hand. But Andro tightened his eyes. His eyes became violent as he was looking at Max, which made Liam decide to take him away in another way.

Softly, Liam pulled him from his shoulders, away from Max, who sighed and pulled the air into his lungs as a drowning.

“How dare you?” Andro shouted, pointed his sword at Liam's face.

“Sir, you were going to kill him in the middle of the women and children, Is that what you want the children to see in your village?”

Liam replied with logic, Andro took down the sword and went for a kiss on Mrs. Markline's forehead, who smiled tiredly.

“The doctor sees her before he even thinks to treat this bastard's neck. Lewis, oversee this.”

The orders were given boldly before Andro came out quickly from the building, so Liam followed him to their horses, leaving the east part, heading to the West of the village, towards the young commander's tent

Their path was silent and boring, despite the wonders in Liam's mind

“It's okay, Andro. She is going to be okay.”

Liam spoke while he walked into the tent behind Andro.

“I hope so.”

Andro's voice came quietly as Liam started taking off his armour and his shirt.

“Are you sleeping with that scarf on your face and your shield?”

Liam asked, questioning Andro, who simply stretched out at the end of the tent.

“Yeah.”

He responded in a cold tone. Liam raised his eyebrows in amazement from this strange village and its stranger little governor.

“Tell me, Andro, why are your women in that building so few?”

Liam asked, curiously as he stretched his body.

“Listen, Horseman, here in our village, you'll see wonders, and I advise you to leave here quickly because it has nothing to do with you.”

Andro made his words clear

That was more curious for Liam

“Fine, but I thought that the thief night treats his guests better, Where is your hospitality?”

Liam said with wickedness in his voice.

“Actually, you asked me for a place to sleep, I never invited you!”

The reply was harsh

“Yeah. But still, I am your guest. The least you can do for me is to chat.”

Liam said.

“You are clever but this won't work I am not telling you about anything in the village.”

Andro said.

“I know, but I had to try regardless, can we still talk a little, I don't want to sleep yet.”

He said.

“What do you want to talk about?”

Andro said.

“You.”

“I mean, you, the leader of the village of knights.”

Liam said nervously

“It's the village of mercenaries knights.”

Andro said.

“See, this is beyond amazing, and you are so young and you lead all those knights and soldiers.”

*********Andro p.o.v.**********

This knight is just captivating in a way

Yes, I might be the smallest leader he had ever seen, but if he knew the whole story he would be really amazed

****************

“Andro, Where did you go?”

Liam Said attracting Andro's attention

Ohh, just thinking, Why don't you tell me about your first Nobel knight.”

Andro said

“Well, I am the legendary knight, the one who wears black to the fight.”

Liam said

“Nice joke.”

Andro said giggling.

“If the ghost found out we were making fun of him, we would be doomed.”

“Maybe.”

Liam commented.

“By the way, Liam, it's so hard to lead the village, but we all pretend to be tough anyway.”

Andro said

“Speaking of the devil ghost, what do you know about him”

Liam asked

“Nothing much, to be honest, except the fact that he killed thousands with cold heart, not to mention no one sees him and lives another day.”

Andro responded

“Yeah, I heard that he is so powerful that he controls demons.”

Liam said

“Please, I don't believe that you know, people always make a mountain out of a molehill.”

“Thank you for opening up a little to a stranger. Good night leader,”

He said

“Good night Noble knight.”

They were both spraying the earth apart.

The brain of each of them was thinking of something.

But they only got two things in common under this tent's roof.

The fractures of the past added with the confusion of the present.

They slept with one of their eyelids opened while each of them.
