Run Away Villian

Wandering knight

-048-

    For the first time after a year,  the servants of the Elwyn Duchy gather again. But not to capture another traitor  but to watch the fight between the Strongest swordman of the Kingdom and the four strongest knight that was under the command of Duke Elwyn.

"You think Sir Arnold will stand against Sir Caine?"

"Of course not! Don't you know there was a rumor that he defeated a Goblin Chief on his own"

The once peaceful training ground was now full of people gossiping around.

On the other hand, the four Knights who was chosen to fight sir Caine is at a corner sighing.

"Young master, I don't think you understand. We don't stand a chance against him even Sir Minard can't land a hit on him" Complain Sir Arnold, the strongest among the four.

But Knox doesn't have any plan to cancel the fight now.

This event will decided my future. If this failed my survival will be reduced to zero.

He thought as he look at the arena where the duel will take place.

"I didn't say you need to defeat him" Answer Knox as he averted his gaze from the arena and back at the four man sulking in front of him.

All the four man look at him confusedly, they didn't get what the young master was talking about.

"And besides, don't you need some extra pennies?" Remind Knox.  For a second, the four knights become silent.

Slowly a grin form at Knox lips as the knights continue to be silent as he knew he win convincing the four.

There was a reason why i choose this four, Not only because they are the strongest among all the knights but because they are also in need of some quick cash.

Sir Arnold was a commoner in born and he was planning to propose to his fiance this year. While Sir Aaron was preparing for his second child to be born. Sir Villard on the other side was in debt for the expensive treatment of his sick mother. And lastly, Sir Pillion was supporting his big family expenses.

In this way, they are easy to convince. And with the monthly money the Duke give as my salary protecting Kai convincing them was such an easy thing to do. Although it almost make me broke it's fine. After all life is a big gumble.

But it was such a shame Sir Minard was out of reach for me. Well, that bastard doesn't need money. He was born fucking rich! I couldn't even believe that he was such a big time if it's not because of the article i read about his 'so rich'merchant Family.

"Now,now. Should we discussed what you should do?" Said Knox with an innocent smile on his lips.

      "What are you up to this time Knox? You do realize that Sir Arnold will not stand a chance against him" Question the Duke as they watch the four prepare for the fight from the side..

"I know, but that wasn't my point here" Answer Knox with a smile on his lips.

The duke sigh after seeing Knox expression.

This boy is up to something crazy again

He thought as he shake his head.

"Just make sure it won't affect the dukedom reputation and won't get on the way of you guarding Kai" Remind the Duke before turning his back and leaving the premises.

Don't worry to much old man, this plan have at least 75 percent chance of succeeding.

Was Knox inner thought as he watch the Duke walk away then averted his gaze back on the arena again.
