Chapter 14: Something Forgotten
"Ouch, where is our damn leader?" He had a voice that was cynical. His left hand leaned on the gigantic tree next to him. His tree shadow didn't make himself feel cold. He still felt overheated because he had traveled far enough.
A huge eagle passed over his head. The back hair is slightly long, the skin is brownish and there are two swords larger than the swords commonly used on this continent.
His eyes scanned the wilderness in front of him.
"The Leader must have affairs. You try to calm down."
A brown-haired man with a white part in his bangs spoke. He was wearing a white shirt, his skin was whiter than the first man. There was a minor wound on his cheek, almost staining his face, that looked handsome.
However, the injury made the impression of the man getting more and more attached to him.
"Keith, I told you to take off your damn white shirt." The man who was holding his head on the tree turned around and directly attacked Keith using the tree branch he had just broken.
"Why? Your dress style is bad, like an old man who already smells of soil, Dre." Keith teased with a smile on his face. He caught the tree branch thrown by Dre. Then he broke it.
The face that looked unfriendly made Dre inflamed.
"Mercenaries wear white clothes. You want to tell the enemy your location? You could have died of a cut." Dre rolled his eyeballs. He had warned Keith repeatedly. It's strange to wear white clothes that are not under their work.
"You two are so noisy! Come here and eat before I throw your lunch!" a bald-headed man with a body twice as big as the two of them shouted.
The bowl he was holding swayed, because he was so emotional with the two noisy people that it interfered with the lunch he had made.
Dre and Keith lowered their heads while rubbing their heads. They immediately sat around the fire where their lunch was being cooked.
The big man took the soup from inside the hanging pot, put it in the bowl, after which he gave it to Dre and Keith.
They ate the soup made by him.
"Ten, but we haven't heard from our chairman for almost two weeks." Dre spoke again with an expressional look.
"He's not dead." Keith spoke quickly. He ate the soup in his hand.
"Who said he was dead, stupid!?" cried Dre next to Keith, who instantly covered his ears.
"Um." Ten cleared his throat and made Dre close his mouth tightly and like a shrinking mouse.
"Trust our leader. He is a great person. Eventually the news from him will come to us and we have to do as we are told," Ten said calmly. After their leader left, Ten acted as their interim leader and it made his head dizzy from having to take care of the two men who often fought like this boy.
In the past, before she entered this group, Ten had hair, but the longer it took, the more it fell out. Ten, once known as the forest bear, has now become a bald bear.
"Yes, he is indeed an annoying leader. I will protest later. Have fun with the mission without us." Dre babbled again. His figure that looks creepy is in fact a figure who likes to talk once.
"The leader is on an important mission and we are also on a mission. You are indeed shrimp-brained. What we say you don't understand." Keith shook his head at Dre's convoluted remarks.
And Keith's treatment annoyed Dre. He used the spoon in his bowl to point at Keith's face, so they got into a spoon war.
Ten, who had been silent, squeezed both hands.
Why is his head bald? Now he knows the reason.
"It's all because of you two!" Ten shouted and made him look like an angry bear. Which made the two people who were fighting just now fall because they were afraid of the creepy Ten.
Subconsciously, the two held hands while squeaking like a pinched mouse. In their hearts, the two expected their leader to go home quickly. Being nurtured by a bear, of course, will be treated wildly.
"STOP IT, TEN!"
The two of them shouted strongly in the middle of this wilderness.

Lucian wiped his sweat by using the clothes he used.
He wore a long-sleeved T-shirt with a split collar that was put back together using a rope intertwined in the middle.
Her hair was wet because from the early hours of the morning, before Alexandra woke up and the knights practiced in the field, Lucian had practiced first than them.
When the crows and the sun appear, Lucian has finished his warm-up.
"What's going on?"
The newly appeared Garit with the other knights on the training ground was surprised to see that the ground on the training ground was hollowed out a lot. In the middle of the field, they saw Lucian who had put his sword back in.
Garit stared sarcastically at Lucian, the man who had defeated him.
"tch."
Now he has to call Lucian sir, even though Garit's weight has to do it. The only man who can touch the Duchess he serves. He was also there, when duchess Rissingshire, who was as a dragon, turned into a human again when Lucian touched her head.
"Is there an explosion here, Sir Lucian?" he asked, clasping his own hands firmly.
"No. I am a little exaggerated, but I am sure that I broke no equipment other than a field full of holes. I'm sorry." Lucian smiled when he said it.
Then, he left the training ground while combing his hair repeatedly back, letting the wind give freshness to his head that was still hot.
From a distance, Alexandra, who was looking for Lucian, saw what Lucian was doing.
[Wow....]
She was silent on the spot, admiring Lucian's good looks that didn't use bangs. The raised forehead looked exquisite.
Lucian realized Alexandra's whereabouts. He walked up to Alexandra and stopped in front of her quietly.
"Lexa, do you want to practice too?" asked Lucian with a smile that exposed his teeth.
Alexandra did not respond to Lucian's question, which made Lucian move his hand in front of Alexandra's face.
"Lexa?"
"Y-ya!?" the answer stammered.
"You want to practice?" Lucian repeated the question again.
Alexandra shook her head, then she smiled slightly as she lowered her head.
"No, I'm looking for you. Come on, have breakfast together, Lucian."
Alexandra immediately held Lucian's hand, which had held nothing. She walked first while biting her lip. Her heart seemed to explode. She couldn't show this shameful attitude. Behind her, Lucian followed Alexandra without protest.
