The Lone Hero's
Ch.10 - Granger & Guinivere
Alucard enjoys his food in peace. He does not like to eat too much or too fancy, he only eats a plate of rice with meat and vegetables to taste, and of course a glass of water.
Alucard ignored all the whispers and gazes directed at him.
A moment later, the noise and the whispers of the people were getting clear. But this time it was not directed at Alucard but at a young man who had just entered the Demon Hunt Union.
The young man was wearing black clothes with a collar of clothes until it covered his mouth. He has black hair with a little white, visible a scar on the brow up to the bottom of the eye.
He is one of the young demon hunters who is the same age as Alucard, a Granger known as the Death Violin.
Granger has a dark past. Just like Alucard, he was kidnapped by demons and saved by demon hunters, until he became a demon hunter today.
Granger has a gun and a violin bag-like object that she carries everywhere.
Granger is known as the Death Violin not without reason. That was because the violin-like object he was carrying could turn into a violin, when he played his violin, it let out a very bad sound until the target became dizzy.
He is also very well known by the demons, there is even a demon proverb that says, when you hear the sound of the violin that hurts the ears, run as fast as possible if you still want to live.
Granger sat at an empty table right next to Alucard. He ordered food that was not much different from Alucard, and the drink he ordered was milk, not water.
While the two of them were eating leisurely without any problems, people looked like the two were clashing with an invisible cold aura. Well, maybe it's just their imagination because it's been Alucard and Granger often equated.
That's because both of them come from ordinary families, both young but have high talent, both never form a team, always carry out missions alone, and they are not, and of course both have handsome faces.
It's just that Granger seemed colder than Alucard, it was because he rarely spoke, hearing him say one word was already very rare.
People often wonder, if the two fight then who will be the winner.
While inside the Demon Hunt Guild no one dared to fuss over the existence of Alucard and Granger, either, outside there was a commotion as two luxurious horse carriages moved towards the Demon Hunt Union from the opposite direction.
One of the horse carriages used the Moniyan Empire flag while the other one used the sari flag of one of the great nobles in Moniyan Empire, namely the Baroque noble family
The two horse carriages stopped right in front of the gates of the Demon Hunt Union with positions facing each other.
Not long after, each of the horse carriage guards opened the door and two beautiful girls were seen coming out of the carriage.
Beautiful girl figure in a white dress, whitish blonde hair with sapphire blue eyes. She is the crown princess of Moniyan Empire, Silvana.
While another one was a beautiful girl in a purple dress, blonde hair with beautiful purple eyes. She is the young miss of the Baroque Family, Guinivere.
The moment Silvana got out of the carriage, everyone who saw her immediately bowed respectfully. As the people of Moniyan Empire, paying this kind of honor is mandatory if meeting the imperial family.
“Eh, Princess Silvana, what is it about a princess visiting in the Demon Hunt Union?” Guinivere saluted the noble.
“Maybe I also have the same question. A Duke-class noble daughter visits the Demon Hunters Union.”
“I think my identity is nothing compared to you, Princess Silvana,” Guinivere chuckled.
“Guinivere, we've been friends for a long time, so don't use formal words like that!”
Silvana and Guinivere were actually friends since childhood. But the more they grew the less often they could meet. It was because more and more things they had to take care of, especially Silvana as the crown princess of Moniyan Empire.
Guinivere gave a small laugh then walked over to Silvana with graceful steps.
“Actually I came here looking for someone.”
“Oh, then it looks like our destination is the same.”
Silvana and Guinivere were both curious as to who each of them was looking for in the Demon Hunt Union.
“What a coincidence, then let's go in.”
The two of them also walked into the Demon Hunt Union.

While outside was still quite noisier, Alucard and Granger were still eating quietly as if undisturbed and unconcerned about whatever was outside.
But suddenly, they somehow felt an unpleasant feeling, especially Granger.
Because Granger felt her instincts were never wrong, he put money on the table as food payment then rushed towards the second floor because there was an inn area for Demon Hunters from Grand Master level to Legen level.
“Granger, where are you going?”
But just as Granger climbed one step up the stairs, a girl's voice called her name.
“Sial,” Granger could only cluck in his heart then turn around, looking at the figure of the beautiful girl he knew.
Meanwhile, Alucard, who knew who was coming, pretended not to see and continued to eat quietly.
Silvana and Guinivere had just entered the room and they immediately saw the person they were looking for.
Silvana shook her head slowly looking at Alucard who was still calmly eating his food as if unaware of his arrival.
“So the person you're looking for is a Granger, a Legend-level Demon Hunter,” Silvana didn't expect it to turn out Guinivere had a relationship with Granger and it seems like the relationship is unusual.
“That's it,” Guinivere is not shy to admit it, “then you are alone, who is the person you are looking for?”
“The person.” Silvana walked up to Alucard and sat in the chair right in front of the young man.
Alucard finally gave up on pretending, he stood up then bowed respectfully to Silvana.
“Greetings Mr. Princess Silvana.”
“Oh you still remember me as it turns out,” Silvana smiled, “Alucard, this time you will not be able to avoid me.”
Silvana pulled out a piece of paper, “I brought a warrant from Moniyan Empire, you must attend my birthday party.”
“Why should I issue a warrant to drag me into the party,” Alucard sighed.
