âMr Dean, its too late. Where were you?â Francis looked at Dodian with interest.
Dudian indifferently replied: âDo I need to report you where I travel to?â
Francis smiled: âI was just curious how you sneaked into the inner wall!â
Dudian was surprised.
Sneaked into!
Dudian turned to look at Sergei and others. Sergei secretly pointed to Kroen who was sitting alone on the sofa next to them.
Dudian looked at Kroen in shock.
Kroenâs face turned pale when he saw Dudianâs eyes: âDean, Iâm sorry. I-I was forced to ⊠â
Dudianâs body trembled. He was very disappointed when Sham left but he never imagined that Kroen who he brought out of the slums would betray him at the key moment!
Francis smiled as he saw Dudian clench his fists while his body trembled: âMr Dean. We were shocked too. We didnât dare to think that you would be able to get into the inner wall. Iâm soo curious about the way you got into the inner wall.â
Dudian stared at Kroen. He didnât care about what Francis said: âWhy?
Kroenâs body shook: âDe-Dean. I didnât do it intentionally. I was told that they will kill me if I donât talk. You see that they donât care about civilians. I donât want to die. Iâm sorry. Iâm really sorry but I donât want to die for nothing⊠Iâm sorryâŠâ
Dudian never thought that he would face the same situation that happened years ago again. He remembered Jennyâs eyes piercing through his heart years ago in the prison. Dudian didnât imagine that he will feel the same heartache once again after years.
He controlled his anger: âKroen, you canât! You canât betray me!â
Kroen looked at Dudianâs eyes which were full of grief: âI didnât want to! I know that you took me out of the slums. You gave me chance to live a good life. Because of you I felt being respected everywhere. I had much better life⊠But⊠ButâŠI donât want to die! Iâm so young! I would rather continue to live in the orphanage than die so early!â
Dudian felt his heart ache: âAre you so afraid of death? They didnât talk. You were the only one to talk. Why? â
âYes, I am afraid of death.â Kroen stared into Dudianâs eyes: âDonât look at me like that! You took me out of the slums but in your eyes I was a tool! Nothing but a tool! You just used me to do your dirty work. I covered in places where it would be very suspicious for you to get involved. You didnât dare to use others so you choose me!â
Dudian stared at him: âDo you know why I chose you?â
why? Of course it was because of trust.
Kroen slowly said after a moment of silence: âI know why you trust me! Its because if you leave me I will die!⊠In your eyes Iâm just a useless cripple! I wonât be able to survive in the commercial district if I left! Thatâs why you can trust me without a worry! I would be loyal to you if you really thought of me as a partner. I am afraid of death but I would be willing to sacrifice myself for a friend. But you are not my friend! You are my master!â
âI have to call you âyoung masterâ! Iâm just a servant! You took me, Barton and Joseph for old man to teach. But what for? It was all for you to use us in the future! Would you say that you werenât using us?â
âYou had so many magic marks! You didnât even give me one of those! You can get those rare magic marks whenever you wish with your identity and status. But you didnât even want to give one to me!â
âYou never wanted to nurture and cultivate me! You just brought us out not as friend but as slaves! You have such a black heart! You are vicious, insidious and despicable! You are not the Dudian from the orphanage I remember! You are a monster! I have never seen anyone worse than you! You are the devil! â
âYou will sooner or later abandon me when you get a proper butler. It happened to the adoptive parents! You casually placed them in a house and gave them money. Iâm not even sure if you will treat me like that! Maybe I will be worse than that!â
Dudianâs heart got cold as he listened to Kroenâs words. He felt the whole world making a joke with him. The expression on his face turned normal as he took a big breath: âAre you finished?â
Kroen replied: âIâm finished. Iâm sorry but Iâll go to inner wall soâŠâ
âTo the inner wall?â Dudian smiled: âI didnât give you magic marks because I didnât want you to get involved with these things. I think the magic marks arenât a good thing for the body so I didnât give them to you. I never intended you to be on the battlefield so giving you a magic mark was useless to being with.â
Kroenâs face turned gloomy: âDo you think I will believe âŠâ
âYou do not need to believe.â Dudian indifferently replied: âIâm just trustfully saying my thoughts. It doesnât matter whether you believe it or not as it has nothing to do with me. As for my adoptive parents⊠They had adopted a new child and the family was happy. It was Grayâs dream to live in the commercial district.â
âSo I helped him with it.â
âMY mother JuraâŠShe is a very good woman. I didnât want her to be involved in my life and suffer like you who was being held as a hostage now. You could be killed any moment. I didnât them to live through this.â
âYou said that I was vicious and despicableâŠTrue. I donât deny that. But my enemies sent me to prison without a just cause. What do you expect me to do? âŠâ
âHave I been despicable in any way when I have treated you?â
âHave I ever used your life in exchange for mine?â
Kroen was startled.
Sergei and Nicholas were silent as they sat on the sofa.
Dudian turn to look at Francis: âWhen are we leaving?â
Francis replied: âDonât be so anxious. You are more powerful than I have imagined though. You were able to sneak into the inner wall. â
Dudian indifferently said: âI donât want to talk.â
Francis shrugged his shoulders: âIts possible that you will live in the Monastery for some time so I recommend you to take your daily necessities and valuables.â
Dudian knew that they had already searched all over the castle. Now they wanted to give him the initiate to take out stuff that would be taken away by them.
âAlright.â Dudian went upstairs.
None of the saint followed him.
Dudian didnât take the chip. He took some clothes and the toothbrush made out of animal hair. He put everything into a backpack and went downstairs.
Francis winked when he saw Dudian come down.
Two saints jumped down from the second floor. They shook their heads as they looked at Francis.
Francis looked at Dudian: âMr Dean is incorruptible. â
Dudian indifferently said: âI just have one request. Donât hurt others. They are my servants and have nothing do to with anything. I hope you will at least put the effort on surface. Monastery is similar to Holy Church, isnât it?â
Francis smiled: âYou are damaging our image with such words and make us look like the villains.â
Dudian was too lazy to continue to wrestle words with him.
âLetâs go.â Francis waved his hand.
Two saints left the hall and went behind the castle. There were six snow lions over there. Each of them was almost two meter tall. They had magnificent appearance. Two white sword like teeth were exposed from their mouths. The horses were screaming constantly in fear.
âPlease.â Francis smiled.
Four saints jumped over lions. Dudian also went to towards one snow lion.
The snow lion began to growl as it saw Dudian approach it. Its mouth was open wide and it could directly swallow Dudian. Obviously it was roaring to intimidate him.
Dudian wasnât feeling well because of the previous situation. He growled back when he saw the beast roar.
The snow lion saw the green in Dudianâs eyes. Its tail went down and droop under its head after it heard Dudianâs growl.
Dudian jumped over its back.
The saints were surprised as they saw the scene. The snow lions were nurtured by the Monastery since birth. Even saints had to go through several months of training to tame them as partners. They didnât expect Dudian to tame it after just a growl.
Francis sat on the back of a lion too. He took out a pill: âThis pill should stop the spread of toxins. It wonât detoxify it but will help you to hold on until we reach the inner wall.â
Dudian stuffed it into his mouth in front of Francisâs eyes but didnât swallow the pill. The poison of the snake was frozen and had lost its effect. However if this pill was a poison then he couldnât be saved.
âMister! Mister!â Kroen ran out.
Francis looked back: âAnything else you want to say?â
âYou promised to take me to the inner wall. If I say in here they will certainly kill me!â
Francis shook his head and turned over when he didnât hear any news from Kroen: âSorry but not everyone can enter the inner wall. Especially people with disabilities.â
Kroenâs body slightly trembled: âYou-youâŠArenât you from the Monastery? Arenât you part of the Holy Church? How could you?â
Francis replied: âYou are too young.â
