Chapter 375
Why is Aisia here?
The moment Enkrid faced her, several facts surfaced in his mind. He didn't even have to think about it—they came to him naturally.
A magistrate.
Why had she come to him?
Jealousy was part of it, but more than that, she saw this as the right opportunity. She must have judged that he was guilty.
And the crime? Killing Viscount Bentra. But Aisia, a semi-knight, could have been a witness to that. If she had intervened, it might never have happened.
Yet, it did.
Aisia didn’t stop it.
If she had come to him, then the marquis must have been involved.
So whose side was the Marquis of Octo on?
No, had the Order of Knights turned against him?
Could that be possible?
An order without knights—Aisia had mentioned that only a few semi-knights remained in the capital.
A tangle of complicated thoughts unraveled in his mind, a mess of strings like a ball of thread children had played with.
Enkrid decisively cut through it. He couldn't act like Kraiss. He didn’t need to.
The person who could answer him was standing right in front of him.
"Why?"
Enkrid spoke. A short but weighty question.
Aisia raised her sword. The thin, straight blade stood at the boundary between darkness and light. She responded.
"This is as far as you go. Turn back."
There was no emotion in her eyes. It felt as if a single sword stood before him, not a person.
The distant clang of metal and the shouts from outside faded into the background. It was as if a stage had been set in the corridor, with only two actors meeting in the spotlight.
Enkrid drew Silver.
Shrrring.
The chillingly crisp sound of the blade sliding free from its steel-rimmed scabbard echoed. The silver longsword revealed itself as if boasting its presence.
Enkrid gripped the sword with both hands and steadied his breath.
Sunlight seeped in through the window—left for him, right for Aisia. The light that passed through the glass cast a long, dividing line between them.
