Black Kiss (Part 11)

"The clean and beautiful heart dreams of going up above the sky above thousands of clouds, while the Heart that understands the world knows that the Truth is hundreds of thousands of layers of land far below"

Black Kiss

"Master of Hantmore Castle, would like your noble permission to recruit mercenaries for this war" said one of the soldiers reporting to Hasteinn.

"I allow whatever he wants to buy mercenaries as long as he participates in this war" Hasteinn said as he wrote the papers on his desk one by one.

Seen in front of Hasteinn's table there were nobles who had come to talk about the war with him.

The nobles were seen joking and chatting.

Beer and wine are not here because Hasteinn ordered not to bring beer and wine here because it could interfere with serious conversation.

"Toran Garius has gathered with 12,000 Gerald troops.If we defeat his army and march to the capital of Victa then we win this war!" said Mr. Handam with a strong and firm voice.

Some nobles who have strong temperaments such as Mr. Handam and some young people who are not too experienced in the field of combat seem to agree with Mr. Handam.

"It's too dangerous, Toran Garius is a veteran of 5 wars, he won't be easy that we take on the battlefield, after all Toran still has his son in the capital and help from the Ohara family" said Mr. Malare.

Some parents and veterans of Tyronia's war agree with Mr. Malare's remarks.

"The child is only a fat person who can only sit while looking at his small trunk! He may not even be able to move when our troops break through the gates of his capital!" said Mr. Handam.

"Hahahahahahahaha!" , laughed those who agreed with Mr. Handam.

But don't laugh at the veterans of the Tyronian War and Mr. Malare.

The Tyronia War Veterans could only frown without even a smile on their faces.

A Tyronia War veteran then stood up.

"What are you afraid of that fat man? Ahahahahaha! Why are you cowards, huh?!" said the Son of Handam named Jagur mocking veterans of the Tyronian War.

"Hahahhahahhahahaha" , Laughing Mr. Handam with his subordinates more loudly.

The silent Tyronia War Veteran.

They did not return the insults but their gazes were sharp.

"Already I thought, you who only fought against the Dalmatian bulls would not understand.you underestimate Vesius too much." ' said Mr. Bybur who had fought in Tyronia while standing from his desk.

The laughter of Mr. Handam and his subordinates shrank upon hearing that.

Then the laughter stopped and Mr. Handam looked at Mr. Bybur with an angry look.

"I'm just fighting a hick!? I just fought back!" said Mr. Handam with an angry face standing up from his desk.

"Heh, you grandfather whose brain is only half, you're a man who drinks wine and destroys human bones" Bybur said.

*Brakkkk!*

"Let's see what you say is the only thing I know!" said Mr. Handam as he put away his desk with his large body and approached Mr. Bybur.

Mr. Bybur is seen readying his sword while Mr. Handam is relying on his strong hand.

"You two are already! You are impolite before your majesty!" said Mr. Malare in a loud voice from his fat body standing from his desk.

Hearing that all these fined people looked towards their king.

Hundreds of eyes ranging from nobles and servants stared at Hasteinn.

Hasteinn simply sat quietly on his desk and stared intently at the two of them.

Mr. Bybur who was seen already holding his sword grip immediately stopped.

While Mr. Handam immediately lowered his hand.

The two of them then retreated and sat back down on his desk.

Just by remaining silent, Hasteinn made the two of them stop fighting.

The other maids and nobles who were still shocked saw the two of them fighting in the end returned to their own places.

The waiter cleaned Mr. Handam's desk that was messy because of Mr. Handam earlier.

While the nobles sat back quietly and chatted respectively.

Mr. Handam just sat in silence while his subordinates just followed his silence.

"We are going west.cross the Black River" Hasteinn said in a powerful voice.

All the nobles were quite surprised by his words.

"But your highness

"We're westernized" said Hasteinn.

"But where is your majesty? The western part of the Black River is many...which one?" said one of the nobles.

"I told you we're westernized" Hasteinn said.

"Your highness?" said one of the nobles.

"Toran Garius is a veteran of 5 wars but he is only 1 man who tries to protect 1 country that is fighting on 5 fronts.and he has 1 weakness that every human being has" ,hasteinn said with his powerful voice.

Hasteinn then looked at his hand.

*My hands are shaking.*, thought Hasteinn.

Hasteinn thought about why his hands were shaking.he did not know if it was due to exhaustion or fear...

"What is his weakness?" said Mr. Bybur.

"He can't protect everything" Hasteinn said as he looked at the map.

*tuk*

One Hasteinn pawn put it on top.

"Akhh!" said Charla as she walked back and held her stomach in pain.

Hanno stood in front of him with her clenched hands ready to punch.

Charla holds a sword in her right hand.

Charla has stripped Hanno of her sword..

But Hanno managed to beat him back with his fists.

Hanno could be seen then walking and took back his iron sword.

*Good punch.* , thought Charla.

"Don't let go of your sword, son, hold it tight. If you're on the battlefield you won't have much chance to take your sword back. The combat terrain of time is life" Charla said as she prepared to attack Hanno again.

Hanno's face looks bruised on his cheeks and some parts of his body.

But when Charla hit him, there was something strange about Hanno.

Every punch landed on Hanno's body, no sound from his mouth but Hanno tightly locked his mouth to silence.

*Trangggwgggg!*

Charla swung her sword at Hanno who was taking her sword.

And Hanno quickly returned Charla's sword swing with her sword.

The iron sword of Hanno and Charla.

Hanno's left hand looked ready and clenched.

*This is the blow*, inner Charla.

Charla had read Hanno's attack pattern from earlier.

Although sometimes change it, but there are some core attacks that Hanno did not change from the beginning of training.

*bbuk!*

Instead of attacking with his left hand but Hanno turned and hit Charla with his shoulder.

*He wears a shoulder?* ,thought Charla.

Charla tries to fight back but both hands are taken by Hanno.

*This child..he is an expert in fighting.he is not the first time or second time fighting.he has fought dozens or even hundreds of times...* ,charla's inner self realized something while feeling that both of her hands were hard to move.

This time....

Charla decided to get serious.

*srek*

Charla's hand reached Hanno's neck and removed her grip.

*Strength is also required nak*, Charla said in her heart.

Then Hanno was lifted up by Charla.

Hanno is locked back in by Chara and she can't let go.

Hanno's body can feel quite lightly lifted by Charla.

*bruk!*

And quickly Charla slams Hanno to the ground.

Hanno's eyes were still open even though the dust on the ground should have made her blink.

His mouth was still silent without moans of pain or anything like that coming out of his mouth.

*This child.different*, thought Charla while looking at Hanno on the ground.

"You're good at street fighting it seems like a boy" Charla said as she walked back away from Hanno.

Hanno then woke up slowly from the ground.

His eyes are sharp and he doesn't put up horses.

Because he doesn't need to. he's already installed it...

Hanno always put up her horses.

*How long have I not enjoyed training.*, inner Charla with a smile.

"If that's how you fight." said Charla, dropping her spare knife and sword, "let's fight your way"

Charla put both her hands in front of her face.

Then firmly clenched his hand preparing to punch.

His feet set his horses.

Walking Aethel in the dark Has castle.

The sound of the night wind could be heard while his footsteps echoed through the hallway of this castle.

Only a torch illuminates some parts of the castle's walls.

"Hahahahhahhahaha"

Laughter is heard from a room.

"Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!"

While the screams of the women they tortured and raped sounded.

"Ck was always noisy, just be quiet when raped" ''' ''coked Aethel was disturbed.

"Hey Aethel! You look cold again!" said one of Lord Jahae's subordinates whom Aethel could not remember his name.

Mr. Jahae recruited many brutal and ruthless people who came along like him. Jahae has hundreds of people like this, torturing, terrorizing, and raping people every day.

Sometimes they burned down the village in the Land of the Wind Sword and brutalized the territory of Lord Jahae.

Jahae himself had many women that he tortured under the deepest part of his castle.

"Hahahhahhahhahha" , laughter was heard from some of the soldiers and the person.

Joking and having fun they seem.

But Aethel knew the name of one of the people here...

"You seem to be having fun Moore" Aethel said with a smug smile.

"You want to try Aethel? Heh, you always have high taste, this time a noble woman even though her face is not as beautiful as I think" Moore said.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" , the woman's screams could be heard even more.

His crying voice could also be heard, hundreds of times stronger and could be felt even from the outside.

"Cut off his tongue, it's too noisy in my ears" Aethel said with a smile.

"Come on, the scream is beautiful" Moore said.

"What are you doing?" said Aethel.

"Hide and then rape" Moore said with a smile.

"And the body of her husband we put in front of her, would you come in?" said one of the soldiers.

Aethel simply smiled and held onto his sword grip.

"False! Low-level play, better enjoy the body directly than skini. If it is bad, kill it directly. Indeed you trash creatures" said Aethel arrogantly staring at the people around him.

Moore then smiled.

"Based on Mr. Jahae's dog." Moore said.

"Haha! Dog ngehina dog, at least I'm a dog that wears an iron armour while you guys?" said Jahae.

Aethel just passed them, ignoring them.

It could be heard behind Aethel hundreds of dirty words and people who were furious at him.

*Emang you can kill me huh? If you can, Mr. Jahae can get angry at you guys.heh*, grinning overbearing Jahae while continuing to walk.

He let everything go and went forward.he was only going where he wanted to go..

There were all the screams of the tortured woman in this castle, she let it go as long as she walked.

In front of the room he reached, the wooden door could be seen in front of Aethel.

Miss Jahae's Wife's Room....

*tuk*

Open Aethel....

Seen sitting a beautiful black haired woman on a mattress. The woman looked a little thin but there was something on her face..

The woman's hand seems to have lost several fingers...

While his eyes were green with his eyes blank with a small light in his eyes shining alone.

His hands seemed to be shaking and his eyes began to tear down.

"I don't want him to come.I don't want him to come..please this time it's just the two of us.." - ' ' he said with his trembling lips and terrified hands.

"Usshh.ush.ush.ush.htake it easy he's busy with the castle's defenses so he won't come to your room tonight" said Aethel winning it while closing their room.

Aethel could be seen smiling a little.

Crying him with sadness, fun, all fear.....Mr. Jahae's wife...Miss Merry.

"He didn't torture me again? He's not torturing me again tonight? I don't want him to run me and make me do what he wants.Protect me my knight.Protect me Aethel" said Miss Merry in tears.

"Just calm down.don't cry.you're beautiful if you don't cry.." said Jahae as he approached Merry while hugging her.

Miss Merry's chest could be felt coming into contact with Aethel's cold iron armour, whereas Aethel could feel Miss Merry's fairly thin body.

"Remain my body tonight.Protect me from the monster.." said Miss Merry in tears.

"Yes.I promise.let me take off my armour and warm you.." said Aethel with a smile.

Miss Merry put on warm eyes and happy cries.

"I'm tired of Aethel.I'm tired.I always think that this is going to end Aethel.I want this to end.I want him to stop Aethel......but every time I asked him to stop.he.he cut off my finger.he cut off my finger.." said Miss Merry crying lying down.

"I'm here, lady.I'll protect you.I promise.." said Aethel with a smile as he approached Merry's face.

"What promise?" said Miss Merry as she felt Aethel's breath.

"I promise I will kill anyone in the world who stands in our path..Merry.I love you.." said Aethel with a sly smile.

"Are we found out.You're going to kill everyone in this castle? Including that jahae monster?" said Miss Merry innocently.

"Yes.everything.I will kill everything.I love you.." said Aethel.

*That's a lie..* ,in Aethel.

Miss Merry was crying happily while touching her lips with Aethel's.

Kissing and drowning them in a dark mattress.

*Tuk*Tuk*

The sound of someone stepping inside the bar sounded.

The sound of rain can be felt outside the bar.

The people inside the bar were seen eating and drinking in the rain.

Some joking and eating soup.

While some play gambling to spend their time in this bar.

"Hanno, are your hands not wet?" said Charla, looking at Hanno walking beside her.

Hanno just shook her head.

"Good" said Charla as she walked into the bar.

The man's gaze was then directed towards Charla and Charla realized that some people were talking about her.

"Oi see that" said one of the Bar's customers while joking with one of his friends.

At that time Charla realized that her hair had faded due to rain.

Her abnormal white hair was a concern of many Bar customers.

His purple and red eyes added even more attention.

"Hm" said Charla while holding a strand of her hair that saw her black ink fade, "the ink has worn off.."

Charla ignored all the chatter behind her, she was already used to it.

'Say the man is the Devil Child of Ohara?'

'The eyes are strange'

'Of course, 'cause he's the devil'

*No..I am a human*, wanted Charla to scream but she held him down.

At Vespasian's camp, this kind of chatter was rare and not many soldiers were too stupid to talk about Charla's hair in Vespasian's army.

Because Vespasian cut off the tongues of all the soldiers who talked about him and his sister behind their white hair.

'Below (Vespasian) you have protection and no one laughs at your skin color or your hair color anymore, leaving it the same as removing it all'

Her brother's words echoed in Charla's head.

*Absolutely*, thought Charla.

Although Jean tried to kill him but he was still his brother. Charla still loves him.

He remembered how he and his brother played in the Gelaria Castle with swords, stealing letter papers from their father, arguing with the teacher sent to teach them both.

*Sister is still a sister..he is not Jean.although in Jean.I did not know that there is still a sister there.* , thought Charla.

Charla will still love him and accept his request to become Hanno as his student.

Hanno saved her life from her brother's giggling.

*Sister.wherever you are. I will turn this child into something you don't want.*, thought Charla.

'What's doing this?'

'So he's away from his noble friends so come on'

'Huh! 150 coins'

An uncomfortable chatter for Charla sounded.

'General Vespasian is not here so we'll be fine'

Charla starts to prepare her hand if anything happens to her in this bar.

"Hanno" Charla said, giving Hanno a message behind her back.

Hanno just fell silent and looked very calm now, he seemed to see no danger in this bar.

Hanno immediately shifted her right hand towards the handle of her sword after hearing the cue from Charla, but her face was still as flat and calm as ever.

A large man then stood up from his seat and approached Charla.

Charla only looked at her face as she walked towards him.

The big man just smiled as he approached her.

Charla could only frown and not smile at her face.

Suddenly the big man held Charla's chin and pulled Charla's face towards her.

*Cwluukk*

Charla was then forcefully kissed by the man.

"Emmmhh" , murmured Charla while feeling her lips touch the man's foul lips.

The stench and its pig-like breath could be felt by Charla.

Charla then pushes the man away from her.

*Bbuukk!*

Hit Charla with her right hand as strong as hers on the man's cheek.

It was so strong that he made the man fall.

The man's cheeks were crushed and his teeth came out of the man's mouth

Blood flowed out from the man.

Some customers were shocked and speechless, some stood up from their seats to see the state of the man Charla hit.

Some walked closer to the man but when they saw the angry Charla they stopped approaching.

Charla was silent for a moment.

"Hahh.." , breathed Charla for a while while wiping her mouth with her robe.

*This is the 11th time a man has done this to me.* , thought Charla.

So powerful hit Charla the man looks faint.

"Come on Hanno" Charla said as she walked past the man's body.

The first time Charla experienced something like this, was when she was walking in the Tyronia war-time army camp and a noble man forcefully kissed her.

Charla remembers how she kicked the man until he fell to the muddy ground.

Several times he had this kind of incident, fined by wounded troops.

Charla was used to this kind of harassment.

But no one can get to the deepest part of his body.he's still grateful it didn't happen.

"I want to rent 2 rooms" Charla said.

Charla can at least be safe in this bar because some men look frightened by her after hitting the man.

Charla has a sword and Hanno can fight...

"Sorry miss, but the room is up and there is only 1 room left with a mattress that is only 1 miss" said the waiter.

*Delivery.* ,inner Charla.

"Hahh.." , breathing out Charla was exhausted with all these problems, "it seems that we have to sleep in Hanno's room"
