Chapter 687
Episode 176. Destiny for two (1)
night.
Kingelo’s executives, including Zephyrin, left, and only Hedo and Sandra remained as the guests who visited Tikan.
But now they should be colleagues, not guests.
That was the safest way for Hedo to protect Sandra.
Whoa-.
Dense smoke poured over the moonlit night sky.
The finest pine smoke from Mila, which was given as a gift from Balkas, did not have the thick scent unique to Hedo, but only the bitter and astringent taste.
Hedo’s back, leaning on the balcony, looked like a troubled father.
“Tower Keeper.”
Jin leaned beside Hedo and called out to him.
Hedo didn’t answer for a while, only emitting cigarette smoke.
From behind them came the orange lights and the chatter of people.
It was the sound of Sandra talking with her colleagues in the restaurant.
Sandra, as she always did whenever she visited Tikan, naturally blended in and played with all of her colleagues except one Valeria.
Hedo hadn’t seen her so excited and chattering like a jovial idiot at Ziffle.
“What is so exciting… … .”
Still keeping his eyes on the sky, Hedo spoke to himself.
“Do you spend a lot of time laughing and chatting with excitement like that?”
“My personality itself is not as lively as Sandra. But when I’m resting, I tend to have fun with my friends.”
“is it.”
“Don’t Sandra look like that at Zipline?”
“Since I was young, I have never been in a happy mood for more than a few hours. At least, when Prince Beradin was fine, he sometimes hung out. Even when you laugh, you get angry, and when you get angry, you laugh. As you well know, the young lady was mostly crazy. Ever since he met you… … .”
When I thought of Sandra giggling while covering the room with newsletters, advertisement flyers, and stuff related to Jin, I felt a momentary headache.
“… … a little better… … No, I’m worried about whether it’s right to express it like that. Strangely, it was the same. could have gotten worse. Anyway, since I met you, there have been times when I have been happy without ups and downs like now.”
“Then it would be better for Sandra to join Tikan.”
“If you had seen that room, those words wouldn’t come out easily.”
“room?”
“Pretend you didn’t hear.”
“By the way, Top Keeper. How are you?”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, have you ever laughed and talked like that?”
“does not exist.”
As if there was nothing to worry about, Jin shrugged at the quick answer.
“Can a person do that?”
“There is just not much emotional ups and downs in everything except for the lady. I’ve never had anyone by her side except the lady, and she’s never been lonely since meeting her, so it’s rather natural for me.”
Hedo’s transcendent power, his not-so-high reputation, his past with Shiron, his relationship with Sandra, etc.
Ever since they first met in Sota Desert, Jin has been curious about the character Hedo.
Somehow, I had a feeling that after this conversation, my heart would be relieved.
“Come to think of it, you’re the first person to ask me such a thing since the young lady.”
“Because we’re going to be a family, we should know each other’s personalities.”
“Since you’re a family member, I remember that I haven’t given you a definite answer yet.”
The night wind passed between the two and disappeared somewhere.
Jin gestured to the wine and glasses placed next to the ashtray.
“I thought you had already decided that, since you had two glasses. Please give me a drink.”
There was no toast.
The two of them were silent until they drank five glasses.
It was time for Jin to wait and for Hedo to look back on the past.
When Hedo started talking again, Jin heard a name that he hadn’t even thought of.
“Did you ever meet the former Black Knight, Vanessa Olsen?”
“I have met you.”
“I was of the same kind as her.”
“Same kind… … ?”
“I was a monster from birth. That’s why even if you live and breathe, you will surely get into an accident.”
Hedo had once competed with Vanessa at the Black Sea in his youth.
I didn’t hear the details at that time, but I recognized that most of the former black knights, including her, were born with the fate of monsters.
Jin immediately understood Hedo’s words.
“I realized that when I was about eight years old. At the orphanage, the daily violence of the director started to bother me, so I threw out my fist without thinking. pop! and his wrist burst. He was also a 3-star warrior.”
“hmm.”
“Then, while the director fell over, the sword he swung reflexively only barely scratched my body. I didn’t plan to kill him, but the sword that I cut off with my hand broke and ricocheted into his neck.”
“You must have been surprised at such a young age.”
“I didn’t think much of it.”
“Because the director was a cheap person even if he died?”
“Looking back now, that kind of person is right, but at the time I literally just didn’t think much of it. oh, that would be annoying I just had that impression. I didn’t even feel that killing was wrong. It was like that for a long time after that.”
accident and escape.
That was all of Hedo’s life until he was fourteen.
In the beginning, I had an accident unexpectedly, and later I just took care of the annoying guys and moved the area.

“I wondered how many people who seemed like they would die if they touched them. It was probably because of my unusually large frame and my stiff attitude at the time.”
Jin sipped his drink while listening to his story with interest.
“If you stopped, you might have been wanted several times.”
“Because I was only at the bottom, I didn’t have much to do with people of power or famous warriors. Since I was so young, I naturally avoided suspicion. Rather, I completely annihilated several bandits and stayed hidden, and the lord came to find me with a reward.”
“Did you find it?”
“He found me. I thought it would be annoying, so I was going to leave for another place, but he managed to come to the abandoned house where I was staying. He refused to come under and a fight broke out.”
“How old were you then?”
“Was it twelve or three? I’m confused. The lord brought about 50 troops… … .”
“Are you saying that all of them attacked the 52, 12, and 3 kids?”
“Since the skeleton is large, it must have seemed more than that.”
“Even so, there must have been Atti. No matter how much it is an order, did you really have no qualms about attacking the young you?”
“I found it more surprising that they fought against me like demons, even though the first subordinate immediately twisted his neck and died.”
“It’s not that it’s miraculous, it’s because it’s so heartless that it’s incomprehensible.”
“There are more heartless things in the world than that. Anyway, among them, there was one person who could be called a trained knight. Even when the lord’s men saw my strength, they believed him and attacked him.”
Dealing with him, young Hedo said that he was attracted to the object called ‘sword’ for the first time.
“You have probably felt that way too. I feel like the guys who have gathered to kill me seem insignificant like stray dogs… … I killed the lord and all of his men in an instant, and the two faced off with him.”
He was the best knight in the territory at the time, but he was mediocre by objective standards.
A person who is not able to break through 5 stars at the age of close to 40.
In his eyes, young Hedo was not a human being, but a monster or demon.
“There was blood and corpses all around, and I was on the verge of dying a few times. But what filled my head at that time was not fear or dread, but the thought of wanting to learn the sword from him. So when I asked him to tell me, he made a really strange face.”
“It has to be.”
“Then he suddenly made up his mind and told himself that he had to kill me here. If you don’t do that, the village and the territory will end.”
Naturally, Hedo did not understand his actions, and now that he was older, he did.
“He was determined for the cause. He would have let him live now, but he couldn’t afford it then. He was stronger than me, but he was a man.”
If the knight had defeated Hedo at that time, he wouldn’t be standing here.
Jin was a human, but Hedo’s profile looked bitter for some reason as he spoke.
“When I killed him, I felt guilty for the first time. Somehow I thought he was someone who shouldn’t have died like this.”
For a moment, Hedo looked down at the songyeon held in her left hand and remembered him.
Among the belongings the knight had were cigarettes.
I couldn’t remember the knight’s face very well.
Afterwards, Hedo took his sword and belongings and fled to another territory.
However, similar things were repeated everywhere, and Hedo became stronger like crazy after getting the sword.
He began to create his own swordsmanship while training alone by copying the movements of the knight he had killed.
As the pursuers began to attach again, Hedo realized.
He says that he is a person who cannot fit into ordinary society.
“So the refuge I chose is the Black Sea.”
Hedo drank from a full glass.
“I went into the Black Sea alone when I was fifteen.”
“Did you ever think of asking someone for help? Go find a warrior.”
“Do you think I would have been able to think common sense?”
Hedo has never received a proper education, and even though his body and mind are different from those of the criminal, he is very different.
He had never learned from anyone to solve problems by any means other than violence.
If someone had told him, he would have tried to find a person to lead him as well.
However, after realizing it alone, he just wanted to leave for a place where there were no people.
“Since there are no people in the Black Sea and it is full of monsters, it seemed like there would be no better place to practice a sword. Actually, the Black Sea was the perfect refuge for me. It didn’t matter how many monsters I killed, and every time I killed them, I even got stronger.”
“Then please… … Since then, you have only been on the Black Sea, so your fame is not known?”
“Just as Vanessa Olsen became a knight of Sir Chiron too early to be known, so am I. I didn’t count exactly, but… … Since then, I have been alone in the Black Sea for well over twenty years.”
Jin was speechless for a moment. He was not one to lie.
A man who entered the Black Sea alone at the age of 15 and lived for over twenty years, whether or not such a thing is possible… … .
Because his past life was just too harsh.
“It was also at the Black Sea that I met your father, Lord Shiron.”
