The Knights of Eldania
They're Both

" Thank you" said Dania as the last person to thank this man.

" What will you use that money for?. "

" This money..." Dania is also confused what will she use for the money in this box?.

" What if I keep this for me?. " Give the gold box back to the Archduke.

One of his eyebrows shot up, he had already given this girl quite a lot of gold money, but would she return it instead of leaving it?.

" If you don't want to keep it yourself, why not put it in the bank?. "

" Eh?. Is there a bank here too?. "

Dania at a glance immediately gawked, she gave the most important part. Here there is a bank, yes.but that is the biggest question...

The archduke then took the box held by Dania while telling her.

" What age is this?, how can people keep money in their homes. Turns out you can be innocent too, like you never heard that bank is where people keep money. "

[I just forgot about that. ] swearing in his heart.

" One question, if I keep my money in the Bank in this city, can I also deposit and collect it in the Bank somewhere else?. "

" Any other place you mean?, overseas?. "

" Yes" with high enthusiasm, Dania became interested if she had heard the word Bank. Only, is there a system where he can save and take his money anytime and anywhere?, considering here is not familiar with the internet network.

HORN.....

Closing the lid of the box, the Archduke gave a brief description of the means of storing money, known as the Bank, to Dania.

But the Archduke immediately showed what he had, to this girl.

" If you have this card, then the money can be deposited or taken wherever you are. "

[That...Black Card?!. There is also here?. What have I been doing all this time?, to not find out information like this?. ] Dania immediately grabbed the card and looked at it more closely, she really regretted it, there was also a Black Card?!.

Where the card he held, embedded a magic circle, making the owner will never lose this card even though it had fallen somewhere, and when felt again, the owner will never lose this card, the writing that was scratched with gold ink was also a magic ink that contained various information contained in it.

Cards that do not have a limit on the amount, want to shop anything, use this card, already like money that continues to flow like water.

There will be no end, willing to use in a number of how much whatever it is.

" You can choose what level you want in registering your name in the Bank. Here there are 5 levels of card restrictions that you choose. There are bronze, silver, gold, platinum, and Black.

Obviously, if bronze is the lowest, because the manufacturing process does not need to cost, but the limit of savings is only 10,000 pieces of gold, he said, and also the deposit can only be done in the same place. Silver was only 5 million gold, and Gold was 100 million gold. " Definitely Archduke.

He slightly told her briefly, because it was seen that this Dania was actually interested in the one between Platinum or Black Card.

" Specifically for Platinum, the registration fee as well as the manufacture of this card, need to spend 10 million gold. "

" Up to 10 million gold?. " Bringing the card to its owner, Dania was looking forward to the next explanation.

" What makes it expensive is because the card is implanted with more magic and the process. And the difference with this black card is located here...." He tells a symbol that is a small bird located in the lower right corner.

" It looks like a small dot, but if you use a magnifying glass, here is a separate emblem, where you can spend your own money if you touch this and mention your password as well as the nominal amount. And the cost is 100 million gold. "

" What?!. "

[Magic is becoming more and more absurd. ] Little does it believe that even such a thing exists in this world.

The Archduke who saw the doubtful gaze, immediately proved it by touching a small dot as big as an ant, and his mind expressed its password.

Then put the card on the table, the result is a straight line created, and in a blink of an eye appeared pieces of gold neatly stacked.

" This can be done if you deposit money into the Bank first. "

A great discovery, because of the smallness of a witch who did not want to be so bothered if she wanted cash at that time, without the need to go to the Bank.

Dania who heard the explanation of important information was tempting as it was immediately interested.

The main requirement is to pay 100 million gold, in order to get a Black Card.

After that, you can freely save as much money without any restrictions, and can take money anytime and anywhere, such as ATM machines running.!.

But here, how could he earn that 100 million gold?.

How many tons if weighed?, and the result how much nominal he gets if calculated with money from his former world?.

That was equivalent to buying a private island that already had the building of a Villa as well as the most advanced private plane!.

BLACKMAIL!.

That was all that came directly inside his head.

Unfortunately, his wish could not be achieved for a short time, that was certain, because all he had now was a few hundred gold pieces.

Dania grumbled, so much money to spend if you want to have your own Black Card?!.

Where could he get that kind of money?.

[Want to work until death will not be collected all immediately. ]

Unless he was suddenly showered with money, it was a real fortune that was impossible.

Dania smiled sneering, how much effort does she need to put in in order to earn that amount of money?!.

In fact, even though he was a clerk in the royal palace, the salary of working full for 20 years also will not reach the nominal 3-digit number.

YOKE.....

"..............! " Feeling suddenly her head in the clap, Dania regained her mind, then looked up.

" It turns out like this. " The archduke was a little crisp, seeing his own behavior.

SREK...SREK....SREKKKC.....

His hands could not stop to rub his head on this girl. The soft and faint hair still smelled the scent of shampoo.

Though it has been a heavy activity like that, but Dania.

No smell of acid, not even sweat, looks clean, healthy, fit.

" .................. " Dania who was speechless, enjoyed that gentle swipe.

He was not angry or anything, because this man was really a good person who gave him money as a winning prize.

Not because of that too, did he actually feel that this affection was sincere?.

[Is that so?. ] his hand immediately caught the hand of the Archduke, in order to stop wiping his head whose hair had begun to fall apart because of this man's actions.

" What is your request?. "

Dania immediately got rid of her desire to get her own Black Card, because the main thing here is this person's desire. Much has been done for him by the Archduke, but he himself has not returned his kindness.

The archduke glanced at his right hand that was being held by this woman.

He was also aware of the meaning of Dania's words just now, and what question did he want?.

To be honest, she was eager to hold a maturation ceremony for this woman, but on the other hand, Dania refused it. Was there a hidden reason behind the rejection of his offer at that time?.

" Have you ever sailed?. " The archduke asked spontaneously.

[ Ever. ]

" no. "

The answer that contradicted each other with his mind, he only answered the reality that was here, not his past.

" As expected. What if we sail in one month?. There was one mine I had to visit, but it was on the island, and it took at least 1 week to sail. How?. " said Archduke, offering this girl a different experience.

Being able to see the beauty of the sea was a dream of everyone in the city. Archduke know very well that they are very curious about the sea, but they do not have the cost of traveling far to just get to the beach or to the port, also the time needed is quite long, too, and after all, the life of the people in the city is looking for money, so there is not much time if just a vacation to the sea.

[ Sea. ]Dania who finally had that chance, nodded in agreement. Dania thought that the Archduke wanted her to take part in the visit was to just spend some time together, and maybe for some other reason?.

Whatever it was, this kind of opportunity should not be missed, because after all, it was a request that the Archduke wanted from him, so he just obeyed it.

" I'll keep it for a while. "

And the conversation between the two of them was over.

Dania went out, then walked away to her room.

At least........

Like........

that's..........

CLENCHES..........

To the point where he opened the door of his room, the first thing he saw was accidentally to the two bedroom doors connecting the balcony, already open.

Before leaving, he closed and did not forget to lock it, but this.......

"..................." As seen on the balcony of his room, a bird was perched on a table and gazed far ahead.

[What is he looking at?. ]

Curious Dania, walking closer to the Balcony, saw the glare of her eyes, like an eye sosrotan reminiscing something, so it looked like a bird that was,...

Lonesome.

Aware of his arrival, Everst looked back, erasing the trace of the eye spotlight earlier with a stern expression.

Everst shifted sideways to the left one step, then she turned her body back with her left foot pushing a clear blue-colored ball.

Dania who saw Everst was acting like itiu, immediately made a sound.

" Have you just laid eggs?!. "

ask her and immediately sit behind that table.

{ I'm a male bird, where can it lay eggs!. } Even though his mouth is silent, but his expression shows his regret.

Dania then laughed giggling, she knew this bird was a male bird, but saw him speechless and suddenly shifted and poke a ball like lying down, Dania so deliberately mocking his actions.

" But the color is pretty, where did you find a ball this beautiful?. "

[Such as marbles. ] Take a ball the size of a takraw ball, and look at it more closely.

{ It's not a ball, but a stone where. Someone gave it to me. }

" Then this is yours" he said, then put the stone in front of Everst who was still standing on the table.

{ Because it is mine, I therefore give it to you. } Everst pushes that ball forward again.

" But why also?, I know the function of this stone is like my holy power, so I don't really need it. "

{ In the end, one day will definitely need that stone. Never refuse my gift again. }

everst said firmly, this time he hates a rejection, inevitably having to say so so that this woman no longer refuses the gift.

[I was given a gift.] Take the ball again and rub it gently.

[What can I use with a stone of this size?. ] If it has been obtained, he should use it to the best of his ability, but the plan for this stone has not been clearly engraved in his brain.

It is also a precious stone.

THE TEST........

"...............?!. " Getting up, he felt a drop of water hit his head.

[ Cloudy... ]

Right in a few seconds later, more and more water droplets, Dania hurriedly stood up and clenched her body in order to enter quickly.

BRACKET.....

Closed to the two doors quickly, before the rain came into his room.

{ ................... } Everst who was in the arms of this girl, just staring flatly at what she was seeing right now, she was being hugged in front of her chest.

Because the size is in a position as large as an adult rooster, so it can still be carried in such a deck.

Though he can enter alone, but deliberately instead carry him in.

Why did he become like that?, as if protecting?.

Is it because of what happened 10 days ago?, who thought he was dead and would not return to his side?.

He (Everst ) is not so sure, but what he is now getting today and in this second, is another hug.

Though clearly, this morning also did the same thing, which was to catch his body before the collision, but ended a hug as well and in the company with a gentle smile as well.

" Why look at me like that?. "

Something changed from this girl, her behavior and actions became softer as well.

Even though before this, just hugging him was like a taboo, the edges of the quarrel, but this was clearly different.

Dania herself is actually more initiative to do it first.

{ Something seems to have changed with you. } replied Everst, while breaking away from this woman's arms, then flew and landed on a soft mattress.

[..................]

" I just want to be relaxed with you, is it wrong?. "

Everst tilted her head to the right and thought.

[Has he been hit with my loss back then?. Or........] seeing the girl standing on her back to the window door decorated with flashes of lightning that blurted, her figure who was standing alone like that was the answer for her.

This is the true figure of this girl, even though she could compete seriously, the number of people around her, and the prize that was obtained by the Archduke status, does not change the fact that Dania.....

He. is the one who ends up continuing to be alone like this.

The little laugh always disappears and is replaced with a flat face like that.

His existence seemed like it could disappear whenever he wanted, and all his hard work was like nothing.

This woman seems, not so interested in the surrounding, in addition to making new things and creating a solution to every big problem that arises.

Continue to use her abilities, although there will not be many who know the services that have been in order by this woman.

" But thank you for coming back" he said. Dania sincerely said so, because finally there was something that could fill her self-consciousness like this.

JDRE........

The incoming flashes ended with quite a loud bang.

And just because he's back, he (Dania ) to say thank you?.

Everst looked at him sharply, Dania who returned her gaze was actually as calm as raining question marks.

[Why is he quiet?, is he still upset with the body I buried?. ] thought Dania. He who originally wanted to take a bath, instantly broke his intention after the cold wind from the rain that was pouring down violently, greeting his skin.

The coolness is more dominating in order to immediately rest by sleeping on the mattress.

But....without any answer, and without a word as well, Everst moved to the middle of the mattress and fell asleep right there!.

[She seems to be upset. ]

Since there was nowhere comfortable but sleeping on the bed, he decided to sleep on the other side of the mattress, and lay there on his back. Placing the ball-shaped stone to the side of his pillow, he also slowly fell asleep.

The smell of the wet ground, and the smell of the stormy water, caused them to fall asleep more soundly than in their previous days.

The separation and togetherness that is greeted by rain with lightning like this is the result of the existence of both of them who came from the same time, the same age.

Separated by death.

Waiting and waiting.

Time keeps turning non-stop.

All that they pass through, even though their existence is in a position separately by the times and time dimensions.

Where one consciously does it only to see it again, and the other unconsciously continues to pass a long time because of the life of the laws of nature itself.

That's why..............

They are both in this position.

Know and not know.
