68 After The Battle

It happens like this, the knight explain what had happened in the forest while I was still in sleep mode.

(In Forest Dalugueil after the fight)

"Aggh! It hurt's..." The bronze knight opens his eyes as he saw Aliss was tending his injuries.

"I'm s-so-sorry! did it hurt a lot? I'm just want to patch the wound up..." With the guilty looks on Aliss face, the bronze knight just told her to be more gentle when tending his wound.

After Aliss finish tending the bronze knight wound, the knight was able to sit down on the ground. It still hurt but it was better than before, he asked how long he been sleeping as he notices that there a campfire near him.

"It's been a day sir!" Aliss respond.

"No need formality, I ain't that important... just call me Lars." But Aliss insisted to call him by Sir Lars as she said that he was the knight that saves him. The bronze knight was too lazy to argue with the name stuff as he just accepts what Aliss wanted to call him by.

"Sir Lars, If I may ask... where the other person that came to save me?"

"Another person? There's no other person besides me..." The bronze knight then realized what Aliss meant as he began to laugh.

"But I'm certain that there were two of you that came to rescue me..." Aliss stop as she thinks about something. "Is he already dead because of me!" Tear coming out from her eyes making the knight stop laughing.

"Please don't cry, I will tell you about the other one. There were indeed two of us coming here to the forest but I was the only one which qualifies as a person." Aliss wipe her tears but still didn't know what the knight talking about.

Aliss was confused hearing the knight statement as she started to think differently. "Wait a minute? If the other one who came here was not a person... that means he was a monster or else."

Hearing that it bring out the bronze knight smile and laughter even more, "A monster really! That what you think of young lady... Hahaha. He was not even a living thing..."

"An undead!" That word came out from Aliss based on what the bronze knight had told her.

"You're wrong, it was the ring. Non-human and non-living thing, it fit with what I had told you right... Hahaha," The knight laugh.

"There's no way it was this ring, you're only joking with me right?..." Aliss still didn't believe what the bronze knight had to tell her. She still thinks the other savior was a human.

(Present, In the cart)

"It's true, a talking ring is a rare thing nowadays but really I wanted to know how we ended in the cart, not the whole thing." I then realized that the knight couldn't hear me as I ask Aliss to rely on the same word towards the knight.

After the Aliss rely on my message the knight replied, "Your the one asking to know what happens when your asleep for five days, be more specific next time!"

I ask Aliss again to tell him that I'm sorry and wanted to know how did the knight acquire a cart as there were none of them wanted to travel between Dalegueil forest and the Reindr Town.

Once again, the bronze knight explains it to me and I listen to it. Apparently, it was that shady guy with the black robes that helps us get a cart in the town. He appears yet again when the knight and Aliss successfully get out of the forest.

There the shady guy was waiting for them, of course, the knight knew that he will come as he usually does. He then thanks to the bronze knight for helping him with something which even the knight doesn't know off. To express his thanks, he told the knight to wait for two days as a cart will come here from the town. The shady guys then vanish just like that.

"We waited for two days and there was indeed a cart arrive to fetch us, but I still didn't have any idea what sort of thing that I do to help that shady guy."

Hearing the bronze knight explanation, make me think of something. If it been five days already since I was in the sleep state. "One day for the knight recovery, two days waiting for the cart plus we were already traveling back to the town... That's means we are nearly there."

The knight suddenly said, "Oh! Looks like we are almost there..."

I then see the town wall, it was a long day full of struggle but now we are back.
