The Ruined Death Knight

In the city of Nexvarres.

Two different carriages stopped right in front of the Darcy mansion.

One had the crest of the Darcy family while the other had a golden hammer with some blue rune letters with the background being of some light green.

The crest of the Crafbinder.

One of the Crafbinder servants hastily went and opened the door of the carriage.

"Why did it take so long?"

"I am sorry young master, there has been som-"

"Ah, so annoying, take my stuff and follow me." As he said that, the kid with silver hair that looked around 12-14 jumped out of the carriage and went towards the Darcy mansion.

Although he wore what nobles would consider average, the visible runes in those clothing would make those very nobles grind their teeth out of jealousy.

The young man's name was Samuel Crafbinder.

"Welcome to the Darcy mansion, Sir Samuel Crafbinder."

"Oh! If it isn´t Merrick! Long time no see?" Seeing the head butler opening the door for him, Samuel put on this warmest smile and asked in a sincere way.

"How is your wife doing, Merrick?"

Hearing that, Merrick's eyebrow twitched for a second.

"Thanks for your consideration Sir Samuel, she is doing well..." This tone was stone cold. Hearing a 14-year-old asking about this wife with such a gaze on this face he didn´t even try to hide this hostility.

Samuel noticing Merrick´s expression played along.

"How scary, I was just joking, alright? Jeez, you surely turned old..." As much as Samuel wanted to continue to tease Merrick. He quickly shut up by the killing intent that was hidden inside Merrick´s eyes.

"A-Anyways! I came here to go with Allen to the Royal Acadamy. Where is he right now? I heard he got hurt."

The killing intent inside Merrick´s eyes quickly disappeared and before he could answer Samuels's question, he got beaten by another one.

"Samuel, over here! I almost finished with my preparations, want to come to my room? I have something to talk about!"

Hearing the voice of Allen, both Samuel and Merrick turned their heads towards the second floor where Allen was.

"Yeah, I am coming! Anyways, it was nice seeing you again Merrick!" Saying that Samuel walked towards the chair which leads towards Allen.

But as he was about to go to the second floor he turned around and smiled towards Merrick.

"Sir Merrick! Don´t forget to greet your wife for me! Next time I will bring her flowers!" Saying that he turned around and made a run for Allen's room.

As for the Merrick who stayed behind the main hall. This hand was trembling while veins started to show up in this head.

"Brat...If it weren´t for the fact that you are a noble you would even wish to be a dead man when the day comes that you meet my fists...!"

****

In Allens Darcy's room.

Closing the door, Samuel asked in a curious tone.

"So? What did you want to talk about Allen?"

"What I wanted to talk about is about you -" Before Allen could start, Samuel quickly interrupted him.

"By the way, I am into girls rather than to men. Although I appreciated your passion...It´s not you, it's me..."

"That isn´t it! For what do you take me for!?"

"Well, if you weren´t seduced by the godlike beauty of my, then what is it?"

"..." Seeing Samuel making a straight face while saying he almost forget what he was wanted to talk about.

Almost.

"Samuel... I lost your sword." Allen made a 15-degree bow with this eyes closed.

"What...?" As Samuel heard these words, the usually playful him who joked every given chance he was given suddenly had a cold gaze.

"How did you lost the sword that I gifted you?" Seeing Samuel's serious tone, Allen became even more depressed.

"What actually happened was..." As Allen was telling the story about how 2 weeks ago he went to the dungeon and met the Draugr that stole this sword. Returning to the dungeon to retrieve the sword for only to me yet another Draugr, which ultimately almost killed him. Samuel didn´t show any hints of emotions the whole time and their interrupted Allen's story.

He only stayed there, quietly listening to Allen to finish.

And when Allen finished there was a moment of silence.

"..."

"..."

While being stared from Samuel, Allen could only stare towards the floor.

"Can you show me your wound? Allen." Samuel hastily asked Allen with a gaze that was of a man that was betrayed.

Normally asking for something that got wounded to show this wound be considered rude. And for a noble to say that to another noble it was a taboo.

"Yeah of course." But Allen didn´t hesitate and instead started to remove this shirt.

As he knew why Samuel had such a look and why he asked to see this wound.

As the only family in the whole kingdom that is capable of runesmithing. All types of people would try to get into contact with Crafbinder by any means necessary. Samuel was once accused of sexually harassing the Duke's daughter, but in actuality, he simply helped her figure find the way back to the banquets that were held by the king.

Such a situation caused the Crafbinder family lots of problems through the following years.

And the worst accident that ever has happened was that a gift from the Crafbinder was sold to another enemy nation which turned the tights in a battlefield.

Although the king quickly realized that it wasn´t the Crafbinder family's fault, that wasn´t much of an excuse for the other noble families.

And what Samuel probably thinks is that I sold this sword to someone else, thus betraying this trust that he placed upon me... this only friend.

Throwing the white shirt to the ground, a massive white scar could be seen through Allen's chest.

"W-Wha- How did that happen!?" Seeing the scar that went from this elbow until this pelvis. He felt a chill running through this body.

"Are you stupid Allen!? How did that Undead manage to hurt you so much!?"

Allen simply shook this hands helplessly.

"The Draugr used the martial art of [Wind Blade]. As I didn´t expect the undead to be capable to use such a skill, but it was too late when I realized..."

Hearing that Samuel started to scream at him to the point that the nearby maids could hear him.

"Are you crazy!? If the [Wind Blade] was just a little stronger you would even be cut in half!"

After staying silent for a moment, Allen calmly answered.

"I didn´t want to disappoint you... Since this was the first gift that you gave me, I wanted to show you that I can be trusted...sorry."

Hearing that Samuel's hands slightly trembled.

"You...Agh! Forget it! Never do such a stupid thing again like risking your life for just an iron sword with such low-tier runes!"

"Well...I didn´t plan to actually get hurt..." Allen scratched this head in embarrassment.

"Sigh...And here I thought only Merrick was an idiot, but there you prove me wrong."

"What do you mean an idiot!? Did you just called me an idiot!?"

"You question me proves my point you idiot" Turning this back, Samue opened the door and said without turning this back.

"Anyways...Why are you still naked? Pack your things up and let´s head to the capital. Otherwise, Merrick will annoy us to death."

*Baahm

Standing in front of the door, Samuel murmured lowly.

"A friend, huh..."

"I guess that should be enough..." After glancing at the report for a second, I quickly dismissed it.

"How much time has passed...?"

After thinking about the time that has passed I quickly realized something that made me worry.
