“How about Leathina?” adam asked as Leathina lay in bed and had never been built since she was knocked unconscious by Edward to calm her down.
“Nona Leathina is still asleep but may soon wake up, and Adam ..” Call Nina.
“Iya what's wrong?” Adam then looked at Nina who was looking at him with a serious face.
“You must not call Miss Leathina directly like that, you must be courteous to her after knowing who she really is. So be careful.” Nina warned Adam not to call Leathina by her name.
“Ah, yes, yes, I understand. I'm just a habit of being together first and haven't guest anything about it.”
“While previously you also knew who he was, you just pretended not to know right.” Troy's chirps corner Adam in front of Nina.
“Yes, yes, I was wrong. I won't repeat. But what should we do if Miss Leathina really wakes up while Mr Ed is still not coming?” Adam asked worried about Leathina, remembering Leathina before fainting who was so adamant about refusing to come with Edward that running away even threatened to jump off a cliff.
“True he seems to doubt us, we should have told him from the beginning.” Nina who was also worried.
“We just hold it until Mr. Ed comes.” Chirping Troy again while confirming his sitting position observed two colleagues who were busy choosing Leathina.
“Absolutely you can hold it?” Ask Adam, “Then in the middle mansion of the shadow army you repeatedly challenged him and many times also lost by him, your body alone is large.” Adam scorned when he heard the words of Troy just now, then brought up when Troy many times can be defeated by Leathina easily.
“Eh! I beat him once even though I lost twice.” Troy avoids not received in scorn by Adam, Troy instead felt humiliated but could not deny his defeat at that time.
“We can easily hold it especially we have three people, but we don't know what Miss Leathina can do to get rid of us or what she's going to plan to leave us without anyone knowing, no one knows what he is thinking and planning.” Nina muttered worriedly considering Leathina who is smart especially mastering martial arts and can use the sword very well.
“What do you think made him so many times try to escape from his family and now do not want to return to the kingdom?” Nina said after a long time of thought.
“Maybe he knows he will be targeted by greedy people after knowing his ability in know many people.” Answer Troy.
“That's possible, but what about him who used to try to run away from everyone. It is like knowing something that people do not know.
“As knowing that he is often the target of murder?”
“Betul, but what is the reason he became a target when there is nothing wrong with him?” nina is getting confused.
“It is better for now we think about how to hold Miss Leathina alone if you wake up later the rest we ask her directly after waking up.” Adam said, then the three of them were busy thinking about how to calm Leathina later if they really woke up.
...
Edward who had just come out of the inn suddenly felt someone watching him from a distance then saw several people with different places occasionally glancing at him.
“Enemy?” edward muttered when he saw that they all seemed to be watching the inn where he was staying.
“They came for me?” his question to himself recalled the many people who had been after him after doing various jobs to kill.
“Or for Leathina?” he muttered again then immediately left the inn.
“Ah, there are two groups huh?”
Edward accidentally leaves the inn to find out if they came for him or for Leathina and discovers that it turns out they came for those two purposes, some people began to move following him as he left the inn and others were seen still staying in the same position while observing the inn he was staying at along with Leathina.
“Adam along with Leathina, and soon Nina and Troy will also return to the inn, seeing from the appearance of the people observing the inn seem to have a lower fighting ability than Adam, Troy, and Nina when compared to their experience the three subordinates of mine seemed to be superior so Leathina would still be safe even if I left.” Edward's mind after he finished analyzing his enemy.
“That seems like it will be a problem are the people who follow me, it seems like they have great abilities so dare to be sent to see me.” Edward murmured then turned in a small street then went into an alley and finally disappeared.
Edward quickly left the people who followed him and then came back out of the alley and was on the main road mingling with other villagers who were busy with activities.
“Ah! I forgot to ask them something.” Edward muttered then back to the small street and stopped at the mouth of the alley to wait for the people who had been stalking him.
“Ah! That's it!” exclaimed someone who came in a hurry to Edward who was leaning against the wall.
“I was waiting for you guys, but you guys were slow once I almost left earlier.” Say Adam, “So why are you looking for me and even following me here? I thought you guys had followed me too far.” Edward asked casually and then stood up straight again and approached the people who were after him.
“Quick kill him!” shouted someone who suddenly lunged at Edward.
“Srek!”
“Akh!”
Edward who was attacked suddenly of course will not be silent and counter-attack and because he did not want to spend a lot of time Edward immediately attacked his vital point to have a vatal impact for the attacker.
“Bos!” scream the others and attack.
“Oh! He is your leader yes.” muttered Edward while observing the old who are now changing each other to attack him.
“It looks like you guys are from another guild huh? judging by how you dare to come at me like this I wonder what kind of fool asks you to kill me and what's more stupid you even agree that you don't think you're going to die at my hands the appeal managed to kill me?” edward asked after seeing the same tattoos on the bodies of those who wanted to kill him.
“We will definitely kill you! You're too dangerous to stay alive and roam.” Said the first person to attack Edward, he can now only lie on the ground while stabilizing his breath to survive.
“Are we not equally dangerous? So what if you just kill yourself? But before that I need some information from you guys before dying.”
“Do not expect you will get information from us.” His scorn then violently rejected Edward.
“Ah, really? But it's a pity I seem to have gotten information from you guys.” Adam Say.
“Srek!”
“Tak!”
‘Srek!”
Adam who was in a hurry immediately attacked them along with deliberately he targeted the vital points of his opponent's body so that they all could no longer move withstanding the pain of getting serious injuries on their bodies.
“You from another guild paid to kill me because I had to be eliminated, right, those who came to your guild and asked to kill me for fear of me selling their information who once came to my place to make a dirty request, I know everything so don't be surprised.”
“Ba- how can it be?”
“Of course you can, cowardly trash like them do not have to come asking for help if in the end they are afraid of being discovered. but you should have to think further after successfully eliminating me then they will also definitely eliminate you for doing what they ask like me, right?”
“Srek!”
“Akh!” his stranglehold was in pain as Edward again swung his sword carelessly.
“To-please don't kill them.” Her request to Edward after seeing the people who came with her was now no longer able to move.
“Ah! You're not a self-serving leader, you're begging your men to be compared to yourself, well, since I'm busy enough and I put a little respect on you that puts more importance on your members than yourself, I won't kill you, unless you want to kill yourself for not being strong enough to withstand pain.”
“A- What do you mean?”
“Akh! Huf.. huf.. huf.. ekh!” screeched one of the men who followed Edward trying to endure the pain.
“Bu- bun- uh me, Ce-fast!” the door was hard-earned.
Edward smashed his vital points in his chest and neck to the difficulty of breathing if he could then he should be able to withstand the pain many times just to inhale and exhale and if not treated immediately it will make anyone who experiences it better to die than to be tormented.
“Sial, so this is what he means won't kill us but we'd rather die with our own hands, he said, if I knew it would be like this I would rather have him kill us quickly than have to be tormented like this.” Said the man who served as the leader in their group who was ordered to kill Edward
In the small and even remote village they occupied, it was difficult to find a doctor who had the expertise to help them, if there was one they would still live with a disability for life.
...
Edward left his opponent who could no longer move, getting out of the small road and back to the main road mingled with the villagers who were busy doing their activities while walking out of the village Edward also occasionally asked the coachman who passed by hoping for something go in the direction of his purpose.
“Where are you, sir?!” edward asked kindly when he saw a train passing by him and tried to stop him, the coverings and robes he took off in order to blend in without attracting the attention of people.
“This train seems to be going to the city to deliver plantation materials that have been harvested for sale in the city.” Inner Edward caught a glimpse of the contents of the carriage filled with crops from the village.
“Mau to town.” His reply was short then looked at Edward from toe to toe many times.
“Hei Nak, seeing from your appearance do you also want to go to town to find a job?” ask the coachman after he finished observing Edward from the tips of his feet to the ends of his hair.
“Ah! Yes sir, I am going to the city to find extra money.” Edward replied following the plot that just happened.
“Your clothes are good, it looks like they are expensive and your face is also handsome.” His words focused on seeing Edward's clean and smooth face unlike the villagers, “Did you run away from your house because you wanted to marry a rich merchant's daughter huh?” guessing carelessly made Edward a little surprised at his amazingly strange guess.
“Ti-no sir, I'm in town because I want to find a job.” Said Edward.
“Ah! Don't be shy, kid, that kind of thing seems to be popular right now kids from rich families just want to buy someone else's kids just because they want to keep them like pets. Come quickly up if you want to come to the city!” the coachman did not seem to listen to the explanation of Edward who wanted to go to the city because he was looking for a job not because he wanted to be married, he preferred to justify his own opinion but fortunately he was willing to allow Edward to come with him to the city.
“Ah! Let him think as he pleases, he will soon be separated.”
Edward finally chose to be silent not wanting to argue with his reasons to the city with a person who seemed to have such stubbornness.
“Wear this, it can be a problem if on the way to the city there will be a rich merchant child or rich nobility see you and want to buy you.” Said the coachman while giving Edward a hat for Edward to use until slightly covered.
Edward did not argue and only complied to wear the hat that was lent to him. “Thanks.” Edward said briefly then chose silence.
“The journey is still far, than that you better chat with me so as not to sleep, my name is Cade what is your name?” ask Cade the owner of the car that Edward was riding.
“Arture, Mr. Cade.”
“Ah, so your name is Artur yes!” he was excited to find out Edward's name even though Edward only gave him a pseudonym.
“So after arriving in town later what jobs will you take?” ask again.
“Ah! I think you didn't listen to my reason for wanting to go to town.” Answer Edward.
“I'm just kidding, though, no need to be taken heart but my words earlier about noble children or rich merchants who buy a handsome or beautiful face is not a joke so take good care of yourself when in the city later.”
“Iya thanks for the warning Mr. Cade.
“So what job do you want to take?” tanyanya was curious.
“What jobs are there in the city of Mr Cade? I've only been there for the first time so don't know.”
“So you've never been to town huh, too bad this is gonna be hard for you! The city we will come to is only a small city that is even past the royal border so it is not too luxurious and as many cities as in the kingdom.”
“So it's hard for me to get a job huh?”
“Not really, even though only a small town is quite crowded but you know yourself how a small city that exists outside the kingdom, but, but with that handsome face of yours you can definitely get a job easily maybe a waitress in a bar or entertainment house hahaha.” His words were then followed by his laughter exploding while Edward only smiled a smile that was not out of thought with the mind of Mr. Cade who was so open and outspoken.
“Ah! Sorry, sorry, I was just kidding. You can work as a waitress in a restaurant maybe there will be someone who will accept you later or become a waitress in a noble house or a rich merchant but be careful not to be one of their pets.”
“Iya I will remember, Thank you for notifying Mr. Cade.”
“Yes, yes, equally, someday you will definitely thank me for telling you.”
“But what trip to the city is still far Mr Cade?” edward asked after feeling that he had traveled for hours but had not met in the destination city.
“Half more days.” Answer Mr. Cade casually.
“APA!”
Knowing the trip to the city is still very far blinded Edward was wide in disbelief.
“Why are you screaming like that you surprise me son, the trip to the city is the fastest full day maybe tomorrow we will just arrive.” Said Mr. Cade explaining.
“Sial! Why not prank from earlier if the city is far away!” edward was still shaken.
“I think you know, there's no way you can travel without finding out first.”
“If I keep going then I have to leave Leathina for a few days, damn I have to be kemabli, what if something happens to her as long as I'm not around!” his mind was worried and was about to jump down from the carriage in order to immediately return to the previous village.
“Hei Nak!” intercept mr. Cade.
“Ah! Thanks for the ride Mr. Cade, but I have to get back to the village.”
“If you come back now you will definitely stay on the streets because there will be no more trains passing by and your time will be much longer to return, so continue your journey after delivering these items I will also return to the village you can come with me again.” Evidently.
“Yes, maybe you won't run out of walking energy for half a day back to the village either. Anyway why all of a sudden you want to come back after insisting on looking for a job in the city.”
“Ah! There's someone I have to look after in the village.” Edward answered in a lethargic voice.
“So you already have a lover huh, I suggest you just come to the city first and come back with me after finished delivering the goods. I'm sure your lover will be fine, this is the best path I can propose.”
“It's good, then I'll still be going to the city.” Edward finally resigned and went back on his way.
“If there was a horse I would have been back.” Inner again.
“Hei! Son, you must keep the spirit of your lover it will not change heart in a few days unless he does not like you.” Mr. Cade encouraged Edward.
“I hope so too.”
