Absolute Loyalty

"By the way what is your name?"

"Elea" girl answered with her voice so low that one cannot hear it if they are not paying close attention and in the next moment she closed her eyes slowly like a baby falling sleep in her mother's arm.

"What are you going to do with her?" Cass asked.

"I don't know... It is really strange.. I don't even know why I made deal with her... "

"Sigh... Itami by any chance is this love at first sight? Hahaha The guy who told me that I am soft on women just a moment ago, actually promised to take on monster for her like a knight in shining armor"

"Shut up, But really I am kind of surprised myself, I never felt like this before.. when I saw her emotionless eyes... well never mind what is done is done"

"So is she under the protection of rule?"

"..."

"Well i take your silence as yes, Wow never did i imagine i would see the day Itami bring someone under the rule. I bet Kael will be very surprised as well"

"I guess so... Ah I need to clean up before our guest arrive so shut up for now please"

"Ok sure thing"

Itami shot a glance towards unconcious girl then got out of the tent.

After looting two coin pouches from the corpses, he dragged them to the second tent. Then he went inside the tent where Elea is sleeping and stood near entrance patiently with his Katana ready.

About twenty minutes after he could hear two guys approaching while conversing loudly with each other.

"Charging me a gold coin for one wench you sure are some friend"

"Don't say that Jagun Gartu, we will fight against wolfman pack very soon and today may become last day you get to enjoy such p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e you know"

"Yeah, Because of princess Ascelot our retarded lord brought us here to die. For his stupid chivalry joke we might all end up dead."

"Well we can't help it, If we refuse to fight we will end up dragging our families down with us. Since lord Foulque is son of current prime minister he won't let us off easily"

"So Jagun Gerbaut, is your girl really worth whole gold coin?"

"Rest assured i guarentee her looks, and just two hours ago she was v.i.r.g.i.n.. heh"

"Still with that money i could get five really good nights in 3 star p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e house you know"

"Look where we are! There will be no chance for you to visit p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e house for about one month even if we manage to win against wolfman pack somehow, a gold coin is nothing in this situation"

"Fine, Here take it"

"Allright you can go in she should be inside, And where the heck my men go? Those retards, guess I were too kind for them to neglect my order... "

Itami saw a tall figure entering the tent making his way to the bed where Elea is sleeping, because of dim light of candles the figure didn't notice him at all and started to strip his armor while looking at Elea with eyes full of l.u.s.t.

By the time he fully stripped himself and reaching towards Elea, Itami got closer to him silently and stabbed him from back of his neck with his Katana, because he got him good the guy didn't even manage to make any sound and died swiftly.

Blood flowing nonstop from his throat to the bed where Elea sleeping, dying the white blanket red. Itami pulled his sword from the guy's neck and put him down on ground slowly without making noise.

After that he got out of tent and saw the other guy sitting in front of second tent while looking at sky with bottle in his hand.

Slowly he crept towards him from his behind. Every time wind made some noise he took a step toward to his target. Finally after 3 minute of crawling he got to the point where his sword could reach the guy so he silently raised his Katana, aiming at his neck he swung it down.

But right at the impact the guy moved a little so his Katana hit on his his shoulder armor instead of his neck. Still the katana managed to penetrate his armor and stuck in his flesh.

The guy g.r.o.a.n.e.d loudly and looked back at Itami who is trying to get his Katana out from his shoulder. In his rage guy pulled Itami by neck and threw him over. Itami flew almost 15 meter away and landed on rocky ground pitifully.

"Oh shit.. what kind of monstrous strength is that?"

"Itami quickly get up, thank god you kept your Katana with you... that guy is really dangerous, his strength is abnormal. He just threw you this far from that posture with one hand!"

"I know that, Isn't he just one of lowbies why is he so strong? It is like he is bear on dose"

"He is Jagun, which means he leads a hundred soldier... We don't know about strength of people of this world at all, all the people you have killed is with help of surprise attack and backstabbing"

"Oh shit, no time for talking"

While Itami and Cass was talking with each other, the guy got up and drew his sword then charged to them with incredible speed.

"I will f.u.c.k.i.n.g kill you!" he shouted and their swords clashed against each other.

Itami sent flying backwards again by sheer force of the guy's strike but this time he managed to stand on his feet somehow.He looked at the guy who is charging at him with inhuman speed while trying to steady his posture and breath.

Their swords clashed against each other once again and results still the same Itami sent flying and rolled around few times.

"Damn he is monster I can't even take my posture against that speed. He is both fast and strong."

"Yes, but you need somehow dodge his attack and get behind that guy... He is putting quite lot of strength behind every swing so if you manage to dodge his strike you will have good amount of time to get behind him and swing your sword"

"I know that but he is too fast, I can't even get good breath.. "

"Get to his left side, his left shoulder is badly hurt so he won't be able to react fast enough because of pain"

"Ok I will try.."

While they were chatting Itami were already sent flying quite a few times. Itami got up and looked at the guy who is charging at him like bull. By the time guy swung his sword, Itami already jumped at him to little bit to the left side. Sword hit the ground where Itami was in just a second ago.

After landing Itami swung his Katana furiously at his back without looking back. At the moment he felt his sword struck something he once again jumped forward.

Right after he jumped he heard sword hitting ground once again, probably he evaded death again. He stood up and quickly turned back and saw the guy pulling his sword back from where he was in a moment ago. His left leg got cut badly and you could even see the bone.

It was caused by Itami's earlier backward slash.

"Finally he won't be able to charge at me nonstop... ooh I need to take few breaths in, that was so close haha"

"Don't let your guard down he is still standing, keep approaching from his left and don't get too close. Be in just enough range where your sword tip can touch him if you stretch"

"Ok sure thing. Very easy.. so easy"

"Sigh don't complain after you w.h.i.n.ed how you want to fight so much"

"How can I know there are people with such monstrous strength... Besides I still managed to fight and kill two Jagun after killing him hahaha"

"You really have no shame... you killed first one while he were n.a.k.e.d with backstab to call it figthing... Well nvm that, just keep sparring with him from range. Because he got cut on his leg he will run out of blood lot faster if we keep his heart beating at full strength"

While they were chatting fight never stopped. Itami kept his distance from his foe and kept him busy poking here and there, always keeping himself alighted to the left side of his opponent.

"You coward come at me like a man!" man shouted. At this point he were barely standing and ground where he stood had become red colored.

"Coward? Sigh... well say whatever you want. You will be dead soon and there is no point talking with enemies. It is not like anime or movie where you teach your opponents lile talking every weakness of your moves"

"The hell.. hah hah.. are you talking about!? And who the f.u.c.k are you!?"

"Nothing, you won't understand anyway.. I am tired so go down already..."

Itami charged at the guy and when the guy blocked his sword, he kicked him. Because he was hurt on his left leg he lost his balance easily and fell down. Taking advantage of this Itami swung his Katana down at his now defenseless neck. Itami took deep breath in while staring the head rolling away. He sat down for a while to get some rest then looted coin pouch from the corpse then dragged it towards second tent.

After doing same with the n.a.k.e.d corpse he sat down on a chair near Elea's bed.

"I don't know the worth of these coins but from four corpses we got around 90 gold coins 250 silver coins and about 50 bronze coins"

"From what we heard a gold coin can get you 5 nights in 3 star p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e house. So amount we got is no small amount"

"Having money is nice and all but carrying this is kind of annoying. Although their size and weight is no problem for me they make sounds whenever i move... because of them crawling toward last guy took 3 minutes"

"Well no point complaining , when she is able to move again just let her carry it."

"Oh right, I got myself something like servant"

"Haha not yet, you got to slay "White devil" for that right? Mr shining, white horse riding, dashing and gorgeous knight!"

"Oh shut up, we still got some more money carriers coming, did you forgot?"

"Right, the three idiots earlier should be coming anytime now."

"I am so tired to deal with them so you should get them when they come. I don't think they have monstrous strength."

"Allright, I will do so, Just to take care of four guy you got our body injured everywhere. If I leave you to deal with them, we probably will end up in coma or something"

"Hn, by the way that red hair should be lot stronger than those Jaguns right? I heard from princess that he is the titled knight. So how did our Kael manage to win against him? And just because Kael managed to win we are treated nicely right?"

"Yeah I was observing back when they fought.. but I never felt anything strange... But now that i think of it Kael easily broke the bones of royal guards with just simple moves."

"Wow really? I can't even get them with Katana... yet Kael just uses simple moves... "

"Well no one borns equal. World is unfair"

"But we got one body moron"s
