19. Red armored knight

After two minutes some rustling sound came from behind her and 8 men came into her view. Everyone was heavily armored and swords and shield was hanging in their waist they looked solemn and at the front of the armored knights a red armored knight was standing in front of them and suddenly he yelled out,

"There you are young lady, you don't know how much trouble have you bought upon yourself by going outside the castle. My lord is very worried about you so he send me to look for you but who knew you would come this deep into the outskirts of black river forest and hunt alone" (Red armored old man)

Saying this the old man in red armored suit looked around and saw that a black bear was lying dead. He was flustered and confused because he knew the young lady was not powerful enough to hunt E rank black bear alone. So he quickly asked to confirm it,

"Young lady did you kill this black bear?" (Red armored old man)

"No Uncle Aaron I didn't kill it" (Lily)

"Then who killed it I don't see anyone beside you or was it killed before you arrived here?"

"It was killed by a young boy... I fought with this monster first but after sometimes I was overwhelmed and was seriously injured by this monster if not for that boy I would already be dead by now"

Hearing this Uncle Aaron panicked and angrily said,

"That's why I told you not to go outside alone now if something happened to you how can I show my face to your father?" (Uncle Aaron)

"I am s-sorry Uncle Aaron I should have listened to you" (Lily)

Seeing Lily's apologetic face Uncle Aaron face softened a little then he sighed and said,

"I know you were bored of always training in the castle so I should have taken you outside sometimes but you should have never come alone in such a dangerous forest. This is not an ordinary forest." (Uncle Aaron)

Hearing this lily wondered, if this is not an ordinary forest then how that little boy who maybe 2 or 3 years younger than her come here and kill this monster then she asked Uncle Aaron,

"Do you know someone name Alex Barathrum?" (Lily)

"Alex Barathrum … No I didn't heard the name of any noble family with Barathrum as their surname in our kingdom and with my knowledge there is no noble family or any royalties with surname Barathrum outside solar kingdom." (Uncle Aaron)

Hearing Uncle Aaron's word Lily was confused as Uncle Aaron was honest and loyal subordinate that served by her father's side for 30 years so he would know more about noble family residing inside the kingdom and outside the kingdoms and he will not lie to her.
