Chapter7. I protect mine strictly. (4)
But this also made no sense. Abel had no reason to abandon his luxuriously equipped home with all food, clothing, and shelter.
“No, and what kind of clever tricks have you got? There’s no way to make money.”
The run away from home for a master who doesn’t know anything about the world is bound to end briefly. By now, he should have squandered all the money he had brought and returned to the estate penniless.
However, Abel was gnawing on Jonas’s insides longer than expected.
“Damn, if it weren’t for the seal.”
If it hadn’t fallen into Abel’s hands, there wouldn’t have been any trouble chasing Abel like this.
It was none of his business whether this immature boy ran away from home or whether he starved to death or not.
“Whoa….”
Step by step, the line in front of me was shrinking. Jonas stepped forward, sighing as the ground fell.
“Please show me your identification card.”
A guard with a tired look greeted Jonas.
“…….”
The guard took a quick look at Jonas’ movements and then quietly stepped back. It was because Jonas, who had not washed for a long time, had a bad smell.
‘Shit. ‘This is ridiculous.’
Jonas swallowed his swear words and held out the identity card he had in his arms.
“Jonas Klein. He belongs to the Ovest Knights.”
The guard who checked the contents quickly straightened up. The way he looked at Jonas changed 180 degrees.
“Welcome, knight.”
A group of knights guarding the border at the end of the western territory, where monsters constantly pour out. A group of knights directly under the empire’s strongest swordsman, Diego Kindreal.
To a single guard, the name Ovest held a very distant and high position.
“Welcome to Davanti Territory.”
On the guard’s tired face, only his eyes shone like morning stars. He looked at Jonas with an expression full of envy and respect.
“Yes, thank you for your hard work.”
Jonas responded in a more tired voice than the guard.
“Let me ask you something.”
“Yes, please speak.”
“We are looking for a person. We believe he may have passed through this gateway.”
“What is your name?”
Jonas answered without any expectations, or rather trying not to.
“Abel Ovest Kindreal.”
The guard’s complexion suddenly changed.
When Jonas saw that, he felt his heart sink. He urgently urged the guard.
“Has it passed? When was it?”
“Oh, that. I don’t know the exact details. I also heard about it from someone who worked yesterday.”
Jonas was so anxious that he approached him.
“Who is that?”
“Oh, wait a minute.”
The guard held out both palms to stop Jonas. Jonas, who had a stronger physique than others, gave off a threatening aura just by approaching him.
“I asked who that was.”
Jonas’ voice became extremely low. The guard who was inspecting the identification card in the other row craned his neck.
“Hey, what’s going on?”
“Uh, that’s….”
“The person who worked yesterday!”
Jonas shouted, interrupting the guard.
“Who are you?”
In a voice filled with great urgency and intense anger.
“Did you call me…?”
Due to the commotion that was not a commotion, the guard who was eating had to put down his fork and be dragged out.
“Did Master Abel pass by here?”
The guard’s shoulders shrank as Jonas’ tone was unusual.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“When was that?”
“Uh… I think it was around yesterday morning.”
Yesterday morning. It was about a day ago.
Abel did not run away from home as he had hoped. He was heading to the capital with clear intentions.
Even faster than that.
“Damn it!”
Jonas let out a swear word that had become a habit. The guards around him flinched at his vicious spirit.
“Is there something wrong? Is something happening to you, Master?”
The guard seemed worried that this might spark a fire in him.
“Shall I report this to the captain? Do you need your cooperation?”
“No, no, no. There is no need for that.”
Jonas shook his head nervously.
There was no telling what Abel had done now. If she does that, it will be known that she lost Lord Diego’s seal to Abel.
He had to follow Abel secretly and carefully. Without informing anyone else.
‘Keep calm, stay calm.’
Jonas tried to calm his pounding heart. It wasn’t easy, because after a long and fruitless chase, he finally got a clue.

‘Calm down, Jonas. ‘You must not miss this opportunity.’
I had to think calmly and rationally. In order to resolve the failures that have accumulated so far.
First of all, the priority was to catch up with Abel before he arrived in the capital.
‘I need to move quickly.’
The clouds that had been clouding my mind for the past few days have finally cleared up. Jonas finally regained the brilliance he had when he was working for the Knights.
“I would like to ask you a few questions.”
He began to ask serious questions in an extremely calm tone.
“How did you feel when you passed by?”
“Uh, you mean back then?”
As there were no criticisms showered upon him, the guard spoke with a somewhat relieved expression.
“First of all, he was very noticeable from afar. He was riding a high-quality horse that looked very rare and expensive.”
“A horse that looks expensive?”
“Yes. I’ve seen a lot of horses pass by here, but I’ve never seen anything quite like it. Its chocolate-colored body was so shiny that it was almost blinding.”
Such high-quality horses could not be obtained in Ovest territory. It was clear that Abel had saved the ride in the middle.
‘What kind of money did you have to get such an expensive horse?’
Jonas felt suspicious and looked at the guard.
“And again? Didn’t you look uncomfortable?”
“Uh, I don’t know. There wasn’t anything like that. Even just looking at him, he was dressed to give the impression that he belonged to a noble family.”
“…….”
“Ah, other nobles usually come by carriage, so it was a bit strange that you came on horseback.”
The guard scratched his head.
“So I asked him if he was okay with it, and he just laughed and said, ‘I’m more comfortable this way.’”
Jonas frowned.
‘I heard you broke your arm. ‘How did you get on the horse?’
From what I heard from the deacon, Abel’s arm should still be recovering. So she thought she would go by carriage, but this was a bit unexpected.
‘Besides what? ‘How are you dressed?’
Jonas looked back at his actions. Clothes full of dust, even worn-out shoes.
It looks so different from when I first left the Obest territory. It was hard to believe that he belonged to the famous Knights of Ovest.
‘How did you pass through here with such a relaxed attitude?’
And that too, faster than you and avoiding the route you took.
The suspicion grew even bigger.
Above all, the thought of Abel passing through this place with a happy smile while he was suffering like this made a fire rise inside him.
‘Who am I going through this trouble for?’
Jonas gritted his teeth and tied his backpack tightly.
Now I know everything I need to know. I had to quickly pass through the gate and get on the horse.
“Oh right!”
Suddenly, the guard hit me on the forehead.
“Now that I think about it, Abel had something to say.”
“Yes? To me?”
“Yes. You said, ‘I will be waiting for you in the capital.’”
The guard added with an innocent look on his face.
“I didn’t know what you meant because you just asked me to pass it on to you. But now I see that you were sending it to Jonas.”
Jonas was speechless for a moment as he looked at the guard. The fire rising inside him was sizzling and burning his throat.
‘I’ll be waiting for you in the capital.’
When I thought of Abel grinning while saying that, I couldn’t hold it in any longer.
“…….”
Jonas got on the horse without replying.
“Driver, wait a minute-”
I ignored the guard’s words and kicked the horse’s side vigorously.
“Hee hee hee!”
Suddenly, the horse that had been kicked on its side began to run with a harsh growl.
“Ugh!”
“Everyone avoid!”
“Aaaah!”
“Stay back!”
Confusion broke out along the central main street of Davanti Village. Everyone was busy dodging outside to avoid the horse crossing the street at breakneck speed.
“No, like that…!”
The guards standing at the gate looked at the commotion with bewildered faces.
“Maybe it’s because he’s a member of the Ovest Knights, but he’s extremely arrogant.”
“Oh, by the way, it’s all about the strongest knights. They told people to come and go like this. Are you okay?”
The guard who was whispering asked a question to the guard who was suddenly dragged in while eating and was attacked. However, the guard who was asked the question just stood at a distance and had no answer.
“Hey, are you okay?”
“Oh, yes?”
He had a dazed look on his face, as if he had woken up late from a dream.
“Yes, yes. It’s okay.”
But Jonas’ face was still lingering in his mind.
At the last moment, just before he got on the horse, Jonas’s ugly face was… … .
It felt like he was going to kill someone.
“Ugh!”
A single tear was flowing down Jonas’ cheek as he passed through the village of Davanti.
“Abel Kindreaaaaaaa!”
He even went so far as to call Abel’s name indiscriminately.
Jonas promised again and again.
I must, I must!
I’m going to kick this naked young master’s ass.
❖ ❖ ❖
Palak, Palak.
“Hmm.”
The sound of the Bible turning page by page was mixed with humming.
The spacious, round room was filled with luxurious furniture. Examples include the finest lamps delicately carved by craftsmen in the imperial capital, and carpets made from tanned fur of the rarely found white tiger.
“Hmm.”
Inside the room was the saintly woman, Rachel, sitting on a soft chair and reading the Bible.
Her hair was light green, as if imbued with the energy of spring, and her face, as vibrant as spring, had a blush.
“You look like you’re in a good mood.”
The priest who was organizing the saint’s clothes on the opposite wall spoke.
“Is something good happening?”
Rachel shook her head at his question.
“That didn’t happen.”
“But you look really happy.”
“Really? I guess it’s because reading the Bible makes me feel happy.”
Rachel twisted her hair and laughed. She was so lovely as a smile crossed her soft white bread-like cheeks.
“iced coffee.”
The priest grabbed his chest without realizing it.
Indeed, the saintly lady he served, Rachel, was so cute. Among the teenage girls he had ever seen, he had never seen one as cute and pretty as Rachel.
That’s all. Despite Rachel’s young age, she possessed the qualities of the only saint in the empire.
Even during break time, he reads the Bible whenever he has time, and is truly moved and happy by the contents of the Bible.
In addition, there is the power of God that no one in this empire has been able to manifest.
Rachel was the image of an ideal and perfect saint in his mind.
