“LEO…?”
What is he doing here…..how does he have swords……why ?
His face…….it looks expressionless….his eyes….they are dark…..the sparkle in his eyes whenever he called me hyung…its gone,..that cute boy….he is …..his eyes look emotionless and dark, where did the shine and sparkle disappear to..? did he lied to me? No…. I never asked him, if he knew how to wield a sword but those swords look familiar……….Hah! Such arrogance, I wonder who I take after to show such arrogance….might that be my respected father? Well then, can’t blame myself….I have my father’s genes after all. I can already hear my father cursing me for being such a disgrace as a son. But father you don’t need to curse me so much…I am not that much arrogant to even forget the national treasured swords of my homeland. I came back to my senses when I heard more loud noises.
CLINK!!*
Ah…… so that noise was of the swords clashing with each other. I see…… so…its like this, hah.
Leo slashed that black figure with both of his swords only for it to become smoke…! I see, so they can’t be killed even if they are slashed with these swords. I am not that dense to not even be able to tell good from bad. I somehow felt it before but I am certain now, those figures…they are not normal.
“your high….hyung! are you alright?”
He came toward me with a worried face, but he didn’t offered me his hand to help me up, instead he squat down in front me with his left hand on his heart. Certainly, Leo hid his identity…he came in disguise as my knight. His behavior confirms it.
In my homeland, if a knight were to make a vow to someone… by a vow, I mean that they will promise to protect that person before himself. And if that person is to be of a really high ranking person, such as the king himself or the prince and princesses. Then if there occurs an event where their master falls or something, then they must first of all squat down and greet them, ask if they were injured. And if the master says he is okay while extending their hand, only then can a knight help their master in getting up. It simply an act of respect and courtesy towards the one they vow to.
In that case, since leo’s identity is already revealed, he can’t continue to act like he used to before….Leo you truly do surprise me, maybe that was the reason why manager and other staffs were so careful in front of you.
The only question remains..is that….. who did he vow to? Perhaps my nosy brother? Or father?
A knight can make a vow to someone else on name of their master, means the one they want to make a vow to, if by chance they had to hide the fact that they want to serve that master then he can promise a vow to his master’s family members on the name of empire.
Hahaha….I find it entertaining, seeing leo wielding swords isn’t that bad at all.
I extended both of my hands and grabbed leo’s with excitement.
“that was …so cool!! Leo! I didn’t knew you were a knight!!”
He looked at me confused look.
“Hyung….are you not mad at me?”
“For what?”
“For lying to you..”
“Did I ever asked if you were a knight?”
“Hah?”
“I never asked if you were a knight, so why would I get mad”
“Hyung..”
Leo said with trembling voice and tears in his eyes, it looks like he is touched.
I don’t have the right to be mad on you, when I actually hid my real identity as well. Not only from you, but I have hid it from everyone….I have been deceiving them for more than what you have hid from me….. I feel sick, I feel like I am a fake.
