Semua Bab King's Revenge: Bab 1 - Bab 10

“Hey, stop zoning out! Hello?? Alex, are you alright?”With his hand a bit smaller than what it was, his hands looked thin too.‘Alex? Is it me? And who is this kid?’They then heard the sound of a carriage running near where they were.“Come, let’s go!”And so the guy, taller than him, maybe around 13 or so, jumped into the cart full of trash.“Hey, Frank! Watch out!”Surprised by him calling Frank with no hesitation, he felt numb as he remembered everything that happened to this body.Thrown out by his own family, he was sold as a slave but luckily got out of their hands when bandits ambushed the cart of those slave merchants. In his wandering around, he ended up in this place and met Frank. Living by snatching waste food from the waste carts, they were doing this day by day.“Hey, why did you not jump? It is a bounty today. What a waste, they have lots of this meat, a bit smelly but better than nothing. Hehe.”“Frank, what do we call this place again?”“Huh? You mean this slum?”“No

“Stop standing idly, let’s go.”Clad knew the way in and out of the path that he had carved on his own. Pulling some sticks, he closed the path they came from.“This way, it will buy us some time to escape.”Frank was still holding Alex’s arm, who seemed to be in a daze.“Who are they? Are they looking for you? What do they want from you?”Full of questions, Clad was a bit annoyed.“Long story.”“I want to know. They ruined your house and—”“Frank, there is a good benefit in not knowing something. It’s for your safety.”With confusion on his face, Frank couldn’t accept the answer that he had.“But Brother Clad.”“Frank, I will tell you what you want to know, but first, we have to get out of this place.”Some soil started to fall in their direction.“We have to run.”“But…”“Come, follow me!”Running, every step and every change of direction they made didn’t make any changes at all. The sound above the ground remained the same. As if it was following them.‘Brother Clad was mad when he

Upon entering the house, what welcomed them was the number of bottles displayed on shelves.'A shop? A store? I didn’t know there was a place like this in here…'But what caught their attention the most was the sound of water dripping from somewhere. Footsteps walked slowly, wanting to make sure that no surprise attack would land on them. Pointing their swords, some men went straight ahead, where they saw a doorway with a curtain.The one leading the troupe then pointed to that place, telling his men to go and check that area. While he pointed at the stairs to the other guards behind him. Nodding their heads, the Voneveir guards did just as they were told.As the first troupe went in the direction of the kitchen, the sound of the water droplets grew louder and louder. It didn't take them long to notice the room where that sound came from. The sound of the water dropping to the floor continued. One of the men then pointed at the door, and as the other soldier nodded, they both forced th

"Good morning, young lad. Up here for the usual?"Nodding his head, Alex had a smile on his lips."Yes, Mrs. Marter. I can’t start the day without the bread you made."Chuckling at Alex's words, the old lady had a smile on her lips."That is how good my bread is. Here, I added an extra piece of bread. It was an experiment my granddaughter made by herself. Do tell me how it tastes. And ah! Congratulations on finally becoming an adult!""Thank you, Mrs. Marter! Surely it will taste good. Thank you for the treat!"Smiling as she chuckled, Mrs. Marter then welcomed the new customers."Mrs. Marter, you seem to be close with that kid. Isn’t he the Alex who is Cielo’s nephew?""Yes, that is indeed him. You know, Cielo is lucky to have a kind nephew. Both Frank and Alex are surely the talk of the town."The town was still as lively as it had ever been. One could say that after all these years, many things had changed. But it was for the better. After all, the Voneveir guards, as well as those

“Hey kid, have you seen this person? He was this tall and was wearing a gray cloak,” said the guard who was looking for Frank.Alex then put an innocent smile on his face.“Why? Are you going to recruit him as a soldier?”About to laugh at what he said, the guard then smiled, suppressing his laughter.‘What a fool.’“Yes, how did you know? We are looking for him because we saw his capabilities when we ran into him one time. Such talent can’t be wasted. Don’t you agree?”A small smirk then fell hidden on Alex’s lips.“Yes, sir! He is very talented. I always watch him practice with swords at the lake not far from outside the gate. He is really cool when he uses his sword. He goes bam, boom, wush, washa!” Giggling, if anyone could hear him say those words, they would surely think about how childish he was.“Yes, yes, he surely is a great person when handling a sword. So you know where that guy is?”“Yes! I know him too well. Let's go and see him. Hurry! He always leaves before it gets too
