A golden lion, symbolizing unbreakable courage, roared bravely.

The knights, clad in armor that glittered with a faint golden hue, walked along the road with their backs straight and their shoulders wide, looking dignified.

The horses they rode were all big and sturdy, and among them was one that was as majestic as Caliban.

The knights arrived at the wall and dismounted, quietly looking around.

The people were injured and limping everywhere, but their eyes were full of vitality.

The leader of the knights, who was wearing a helmet, tilted his head slightly, as if he was surprised by this.

No one had the guts to face the courageous knights head-on, so they all moved aside discreetly.

This naturally created a strange scene where Ruon and Colin, who were sitting on a supply box, were confronted by the knights.

In the suffocating atmosphere, Colin also quietly left his seat, leaving only Ruon behind.

He took the half piece of potato that Colin had left on his seat, dipped it in salt, and put it in his mouth. Then he looked at the knights with curiosity.

The three-dimensional face mask, shaped like a lions head, hid their expressions, but he could feel their gaze from behind the two eye holes. They looked like wicked bastards.

As Ruon smiled fiercely and faced them, the lord of the castle started to come down the stairs of the wall.

The knights of courage have arrived!

He was so eager that he almost tripped over his own feet several times, but he somehow managed to balance himself and approached the knights.

The tense atmosphere eased as the lord appeared, and the people breathed a sigh of relief.

And they snickered. It was supposed to be a meeting between the heroes who defended the city and the knights who came to protect them, but why was it so fierce?

Youve had a hard time coming all this way.

The lord raised his fist to his left chest and bowed his upper body slightly, showing respect. The knight who seemed to be the representative also took the same posture.

Without taking off his helmet, let alone his face mask, the knight answered.

The Order remembers the sincerity that you have shown for a long time. And we know very well that what El Tigre needs most right now is courage.

The lord smiled brightly at his words.

Thats a good thing to say. Since Mercy has saved us from despair, if we add courage on top of that, there will be nothing to fear.

He said that and looked alternately at Ruon, who was sitting behind him, and Kyle, who was stuck to the wall.

Whether the lord intended it or not, the soldiers around him soon began to chant Ruon and Kyles names.

As the noise subsided, the knight spoke.

As you said, we need some rest because we ran without stopping. The battle seems to be in a lull, so can you give us a place to talk about the situation?

The lord nodded his head readily at the polite request.

My mansion is too big and there are still empty rooms. You can relax there.

The lord winked, and a man who looked like an officer stepped forward.

Follow me.

As the officer led them, the knights walked away slowly, and the crowd began to buzz.

It was a buzz of excitement and relief, sharing the fact that they had seen the famous knights of courage up close and that they had one more ally.

Then Colin, who had been far away, came to Ruons side.

Are we going to live under the same roof with them now? They wont kick us out of the guest room, will they?

The answer was not from Ruon, but from Kyle, who had come down from the wall.

Do you like the guest room that much?

A clean and soft bed is all I need.

Until then, Ruon, who had been watching the knights go away, turned his head and asked.

Do you feel anything?

Kyle, who seemed to understand the point of the question, stroked his chin and thought for a while, then shook his head.

I cant tell from the outside. It may sound obvious, but I didnt feel any evil aura like I did with Belthuzias or Yoram.

I see.

That was the same for Ruon.

He didnt have a good first impression because of the various circumstances that smelled fishy, but they didnt look like the masterminds who instigated the Great Demon. At least not for now.

How did the person on the balcony get in there? And what did you bring behind you?

Colin, who was lying on the sofa and drinking alcohol, also got up quickly.

I thought I could rest comfortably now Whats going on?

Ruon ignored the twos words and casually sat down on the floor. The knight who followed him also took a seat on the floor without a word. Kyle and Colin scratched their heads and approached.

The first to break the silence was the knight.

I apologize for coming in at such a late hour.

Kyle made a nervous expression at the polite tone.

It sounds like Igor would be under the helmet The dissonance is too strong.

Then Ruon said abruptly.

Skip the small talk. There are two things Im curious about right now. The first traitor and the silent order. I need an explanation for these two sentences. Can you tell me?

The silent knight nodded.

I can. But before I answer, I think its right to introduce myself first.

He raised his fist to his chest and said.

My name is Aslan.

Not someone from somewhere, but a plain greeting. The others also said their names and finished their introductions.

After that, the knight, Aslan, looked at Colin, who was sniffling his nose, with an awkward expression.

Can I trust this person?

Ruon looked at the deserter who was swallowing his saliva and said.

Hell listen.

Why are you putting so much weight on me?

Well, the great demon?

Colin slapped his forehead with a thud and muttered.

Yeah, its not strange to be with people like you.

He nodded his head as if he had made up his mind.

Life is too short to hesitate. We have fought back to back, so why not go all the way?

Ruon gave a shrug to Aslan.

I see.

Aslan seemed to hesitate for a moment, as if his answer was not enough, but then he opened his mouth.

Then I will answer your question first. The first traitor refers to Belducius. He was the one who betrayed Ganax first, and he was also the priest of the Order.

Ruon and Kyle nodded quietly, as they already knew this, but Colin gasped involuntarily and quickly covered his mouth.

The story continued.

The silence of the Order is literal. Ruon, Kyle Even though you cleared our shameful past, Ganax will never be grateful.

Kyle asked.

Did Ganax already know? That their priest had forsaken the god and become the great demon?

Aslan shook his head. A gloomy voice came from inside the iron helmet.

Not everyone knows. Its a long history.

Then Ruon, who had been rubbing the carpet with his palm, muttered to himself.

I dont understand why they left him alone, even though he was once the priest of the Order and became the great demon. Is silence the courage that your god cries out for?

At that, a low laugh came from inside the helmet. The rumbling sound was like a wounded lions growl.

Its more precisely the courage to see the truth. The Order likes to call it that. Would you believe it if you saw this world as a lie as your faith in him deepened?

There was a strange madness in his sarcastic murmur. Soon he said.

I turned my back on him willingly before it was too late. Burning all the divine power I had accumulated in my life.

Aslan took off his helmet as he finished speaking.

Everyones faces hardened as they saw his bare face.

There was a mans face twisted grotesquely.
