Chapter 13.2: The End of Childhood (13)
“Set fire to it.”
ᅠ
“Fire, if you set fire, what about the others?”
ᅠ
“Didn’t you see the mercenary earlier? Those below are probably already dead. If anyone is hiding, there’s nothing we can do. Call the remaining people and get ready.”
ᅠ
Upon hearing Johan’s words, Fern and John shuddered. They had only been scared of the mercenaries, not realizing what they had been doing below.
ᅠ
“Hold out inside until I leave, then follow me. There’s no other way.”
ᅠ
“Can you do that?”
ᅠ
“Better to share the arrows than take them alone.”
ᅠ
“. . . . . .”
ᅠ
Fern and John finally grasped the reality. Johan’s intention to send out other family members wasn’t purely out of kindness. It was mixed with the intention to scatter the mercenaries’ pursuit.
ᅠ
Still, Johan was helping them at the moment. They nodded firmly, their faces set.
ᅠ
“Alright. We will definitely escape and run outside.”
ᅠ
“I don’t recommend it.”
ᅠ
“What?”
ᅠ
“Going out at night, unarmed, into the fiefdom. If you run on the road, you’ll be caught and killed; if you go off-road, you’ll be killed by beasts.”
ᅠ
This world was more wilderness than civilization. Beyond the towns, most areas were uncharted. Even traveling on roads was dangerous due to beast attacks, let alone off-road.
ᅠ
Understanding Johan’s words, they turned pale.
ᅠ
“Then. . .”
ᅠ
“If you manage to escape, hide in the church.”
ᅠ
“What?”
ᅠ
“Hide in the church. No one in the fiefdom will help you except Priest Valberga.”
ᅠ
A good person like Valberga would risk their life to save them. Other feudal lords definitely wouldn’t.
ᅠ
“Hiding in a church doesn’t guarantee safety. You might die on the way or get caught. But it’s much better than blindly going outside. With the fire and others running in all directions, they might not notice.”
ᅠ
Fern realized how valuable Johan’s advice was and felt suddenly ashamed. When they had argued with Johan, how petty must they have seemed to him.
ᅠ
“. . .Thank you.”
ᅠ
Johan showed no reaction. He hadn’t done it for thanks. He had done enough for those he disliked, and now it was up to them.
ᅠ
“I’m going down now.”
ᅠ
“Wait. Johan.”
ᅠ
“. . . . . .”
ᅠ
“. . . . . .”
ᅠ
The serfs hesitated. Unlike the other Aitz family members, Johan had treated them well. Karamaf noticed this and immediately beheaded a serf to dispel any hesitation. Fear was necessary to eliminate hesitation.
ᅠ
Blood and fear splattered again.
ᅠ
“You. Do you want to die too?”
ᅠ
“He went that way!”
ᅠ
The serf pointed towards a mill. Karamaf immediately turned his horse in that direction.
ᅠ
????????????????????????
ᅠ
“That’s a really good phrase.”
ᅠ
Johan brought up a horse, not a pack animal or a donkey, but a well-built warhorse. He finished preparing behind the mill. Now he had to escape at full speed.
ᅠ
“Johan-nim?”
ᅠ
“Joseph?”
ᅠ
Johan was surprised by this unexpected person. He knew Joseph lived in a shack far from the village, being a gamekeeper, but why was he here?
ᅠ
“I heard the commotion. . . and ran out.”
ᅠ
“Dressed like that?”
ᅠ
Joseph seemed too prepared for someone who had come out in a hurry.
ᅠ
“It’s never bad to be always prepared.”
ᅠ
“Is that so.”
ᅠ
Johan realized Joseph was lying but did not press the matter. There was no time for that.
ᅠ
“Johan-nim. What’s happening in the fiefdom?”
ᅠ
“It’s an attack. I have to flee too, so there’s no time to explain.”
ᅠ
“. . .Johan-nim. Head for the forest.”
ᅠ
“?”
ᅠ
“Run a different path. I’ve set traps on the usual forest path.”
ᅠ
Johan understood. Joseph too had plans to escape if necessary.
ᅠ
‘He was planning to flee if they came for him over the wolf hunt. . .’
ᅠ
Otherwise, there was no reason to set traps at such a time.
