Chapter 14.1: The End of Childhood (14)



Anyway, I was just grateful now.



“And you?”



“Who would care about someone like me?”



Joseph smiled faintly.



The story of trying to escape was when the Aitz family was intact and intended to offer to Karamaf, but who would care about a hunter like Joseph now that the Aitz family was destroyed?



“Thank you, Joseph. If someone asks, just respond appropriately. I don’t mind.”



“. . .Yes. I will do that.”

ᅠThis chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

Joseph answered, enduring something tickling his throat. He had lived his life despising nobles, but the young knight before him had a compelling presence. He made Joseph feel it wouldn’t be regrettable even to sacrifice his life for him.



I was both regretful and amazed at myself.



“I hope we can meet again someday.”



“I. . . feel the same.”



After bidding farewell, Johan turned his horse and ran into the forest, quickly hidden by the darkness. Left alone, Joseph looked around to assess the situation.



‘Is the Aitz family all dead? What will become of this fiefdom? If a hunter like me gets involved. . .’



Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves thundered. Startled, Joseph looked up. Karamaf, having regrouped with the main force, was looking down at him from his horse.



“Have you seen Johan Aitz?”



“. . .Yes.”



It wasn’t a question, but a confirmation.



Serfs holding torches appeared. Joseph smiled slyly and nodded.



“Let’s search together! It’s reassuring with you around. If anyone swings a sword, let’s shoot them.”



“Oh my. Is it really okay to shoot?”



“Didn’t you see Karamaf-nim kill someone earlier? And he paid us in silver right away.”



Joseph blended in among the serfs. Being among them meant he wouldn’t be suspected even if he went a bit far. Next, he planned to sneak away with an excuse and escape.



????????????????????????



“. . .Keep pursuing them.”



“Yes. Are you returning, Karamaf-nim?”



“No. I’ll search elsewhere.”



“??”



The mercenaries were puzzled but didn’t question further. They just had to follow Karamaf’s orders.



“Find him at all costs. I’ll put a gold reward on it.”



“. . .!!!”



The mercenaries, excited by the unexpected fortune, gripped their weapons tighter, their breath heavy with desire.



“We will certainly capture him!”



After sending the mercenaries, Karamaf didn’t return to the town. He changed direction and headed towards the forest, the same Black Forest from where mercenaries returned after encountering wolves.



Karamaf kept his suspicions to himself. But something unnerved him. Choosing the dangerous forest over a safe path seemed foolish, yet. . .



Karamaf was drawn to the forest as if enchanted. He was a cool-headed knight but didn’t ignore the signals his intuition sent.
