Future Knight

Chapter 111

When Saxon Duke heard there was no place to rely on, he spoke with a joyful face.

“Is that so? Then after the war, let’s go to the Visman Empire together with this uncle of yours. Your father was a duke there.”

Kang Chan was a bit surprised to hear that Loki’s father was a duke of the Visman Empire.

That meant Loki’s father was on an equal footing with the Saxon Duke.

In the Arkandor Continent, the duke of the most powerful empire, the Visman Empire, held more power than the king of any average country.

However, for Loki, who didn’t know what a duke was, it was an unfamiliar term.

“Duke? What is a duke? A peacock?”

“A duke is a noble who holds power just below the emperor.”

The highest rank a noble could attain.

In short, it was an immense title.

Loki, gazing blankly at Kang Chan, spoke.

“Then, do you want to come with me, Kang Chan?”

Saxon Duke cheered inwardly at the unexpected words from Loki.

‘Good! Well done! Loki!’

However, Kang Chan’s answer didn’t meet his expectations.

“You have to go there alone, Loki.”

“Then I won’t go.”

Kang Chan was puzzled seeing Loki refuse unexpectedly.

“Why?”

“I like you. And I like Zikyon and Erika too. If I have to go alone, I won’t go.”

At Loki’s words, Kang Chan and Saxon Duke made awkward expressions.

Especially Kang Chan, who looked at Loki with even more concern. He sincerely wanted Loki to settle down in a stable place there.

“I like you too, Loki. But remember the goal we set when we left the forest? For you to help humans and settle in human society.”

“That’s true…”

“Now is exactly that opportunity, Loki.”

“But Loki doesn’t want to be apart from you. You’re my friend.”

Kang Chan felt a pang in his heart at Loki’s words.

But for Loki’s sake, he had to let him go.

“Going there doesn’t mean we’ll be separated forever, right? We can meet again later and travel together. So, for now, go there and settle down.”

“…”

Loki, understanding Kang Chan’s intentions well, reluctantly agreed to Saxon’s proposal despite not wanting to part.

“Alright, then after the war, I will go there with uncle as you said.”

“Good, you’ve made the right decision.”

Saxon Duke was again overjoyed at the news of Loki coming to his homeland.

Although he couldn’t immediately bring Kang Chan to their side, he succeeded in bringing Loki, Kang Chan’s friend, to his homeland.

Moreover, Loki, who possessed power comparable to a Sword Master, was sure to be a formidable force.

He was someone who could fight Gigantes barehanded.

‘I must hurry and report this to His Majesty the Emperor.’
As the Saxon Duke returned to his office, his steps seemed very light.

On a night when darkness had fallen, Green stood on a dilapidated castle wall, looking at the enemy camp surrounding them.

On this dark night, the campfires of the enemy army filling the horizon seemed more numerous than the stars in the night sky.

Her eyes, staring at the enemy camp, were filled with thoughts.

“Just a little, just a little more…”

Her beautiful hand clenched so tightly it looked like it might bleed.

“It took 400 years to get here, and now we have to turn back so meaninglessly…”

Green shed tears as she recalled the vow she made 400 years ago.

Nemitz appeared behind Green.

“Nemitz?”

Green hurriedly wiped away her tears. As the leader of a tribe, she didn’t want to show him her tears.

“The number of enemies keeps increasing.”

“Yes.”

The leaders of the two tribes, walking the path of defeat, stood together watching the enemies closing in on them.

“What are you planning to do?”

“For now, we have to return to Iceland. If they let us go… What about you, Nemitz?”

“Don’t worry about us. We can always go to Darkdrow. There’s no tribe brave enough to follow us there, Green.”

As he said, stepping into the world of the Dark Elves meant death for the surface tribes.

No tribe could withstand the Dark Elves in the darkness.

“I’m really relieved to hear that.”

Seeing Green’s powerless appearance, Nemitz placed his hand over hers and spoke words of comfort.

“Don’t blame yourself too much for this defeat, Green. Only those who have experienced failure can avoid repeating the same mistakes.”

“Nemitz…”

Green slowly approached him, holding his hand and hearing his warm words of comfort.

“I’ve always been grateful to you, Nemitz. Always.”

“Don’t mention it. As allies, it’s only natural to help.”

“I’m just sorry I couldn’t bring you victory.”

“Victory will come next time…”

Nemitz stopped talking and looked at Green, who had come closer.

Her body was pressed so closely against his. Green slowly brought her lips to Nemitz’s.

Her face was filled with seduction.

Nemitz looked at her coldly.

“What are you doing?”

“Don’t reject me, Nemitz.”

Her eyes suddenly turned sultry, and Nemitz was momentarily bewildered.

“This is inappropriate, Green.”

Nemitz tried to push Green away with force.

However, the moment he smelled her sweet scent, an uncontrollable desire surged within him.

“Huh?!”

The sweet fragrance emanating from Green’s entire body drove him mad.

That was precisely her power—the pheromones of magic.

She possessed a magical fragrance that could seduce any man she desired, forming a relationship with them.

No man ensnared by the scent of her magic could resist her.

Not even a Sword Master, for that matter.

‘Huh! Why, why is my body acting like this? I, I can’t control it!’

“Don’t be tense, Nemitz.”

“What have you done to me?”

“I haven’t done anything. I just thought I wanted to be yours tonight, Nemitz.”

Nemitz, flustered by Green’s provocative statement, replied.

“Th-That’s not appropriate.”

“I want to form not just a military alliance but also a physical one with you tonight. So please, allow me, Nemitz.”

Nemitz wanted to know why she was suddenly acting this way.

“Why are you doing this to me all of a sudden?”

Green leaned in and whispered in his ear.

“You’ve been so kind to me. You looked at me with warm eyes, touched me with gentle hands… always stayed by my side…”

Green’s lascivious hands were already exploring Nemitz’s entire body. Her touch was so skilled that, though Nemitz tried to retreat in surprise, he couldn’t reject her caresses.

“Th-This is wrong. We can’t!”

“Why? Why can’t we? Don’t you like me, Nemitz?”

“It’s not about liking or disliking; it’s that we shouldn’t be doing this, Green.”

“Shouldn’t be doing this… Why not?”

“T-The reason is…”

Even as he deliberated whether to reveal the truth, Green’s obscene touches continued, and they now crossed the line, openly stimulating him.

“Ugh! Not there! No, stop!”

Unable to endure Green’s touch any longer, Nemitz was forced to confess the truth he had been hiding.

“I-I am! In truth, I’m your uncle!”

At Nemitz’s words, Green’s dazed eyes returned to normal a bit.

“What? What did you say?”

“I’m your mother’s brother!”

“My mother’s brother?”

“Yes!”

But no matter the reason, Green, once aroused, could not stop her lust, and her hands did not cease their actions.

“No! I’m your uncle!”

“Well, let’s talk about that later. Let’s take our time discussing it after… just once?”

“N-No! This is incest!”

“Incest? Huh… Is that really so important? All the Green Elves are my children, so does that mean all my children are the result of incest? Isn’t that so?”

The concept of incest was weak among the first Green Elves, all siblings born from the same parent. The same applied to Green, who grew up alone without a family.

In the end, Nemitz slowly began to succumb to Green’s magical pheromones.

**Chapter 35: The Birth of Green (2)**

It had almost been a year since Mata and her child were exiled.

She named the child Judrian Odh Lacasa after her own surname.

Lacasa grew up healthily under Mata’s devoted love. Lacasa could now toddle around and call Mata “mom,” often showing affection to her.

Seeing such an adorable Lacasa made Mata so happy that she almost forgot about her own situation of being exiled.

Nemitz, who visited occasionally, would bring fruits and fetch water for his sister living alone. He also brought baby supplies needed for Lacasa.

From Nemitz’s perspective, as long as Lacasa grew up a bit more, life here wouldn’t be too bad for the mother and daughter.

No, he earnestly hoped so.

However, the trials for the mother and daughter did not end there.

It was just the beginning of everything.

On a night when the full moon was exceptionally large and bright.

At the edge of the forest, bathed in moonlight, there was a subtle movement.

Emerging from the darkness were dwarves with short statures like children but with sturdy shoulders.

“Is that the house of the elf who lives alone you mentioned?”

“Hehehe, indeed. What other race would build such a house deep in the forest if not an elf?”

“Hmm, that’s true. But even so, they are elves. Can we capture her with just the two of us?”

“Don’t worry about it, my friend! What makes elves scary? It’s because they sneak around the forest and aim for your back, isn’t it? So, as long as we keep it close combat, the two of us are enough.”

The dwarf grinned menacingly as he gripped his battle axe.

“Well… still, I have a feeling arrows might start flying from somewhere suddenly.”

“You’re more scared than you look. Can you call yourself a dwarf if you’re like that? You have to be willing to take risks to make a big haul.”

“Alright, I’ll go along with you.”

“Everything will be fine. So, steel yourself. Let’s go.”

The dwarves slowly and silently made their way towards Mata’s cabin.

They had wrapped their shoes with cloth to minimize noise. They reached the front door without making any sound, and with hand signals, they decided to break in on the count of three.

‘One…’

‘Two…’

‘Three!’

Crash!

The dwarves broke down the door and rushed inside, striking the startled Mata with a club. They then tied her arms and legs with ropes and gagged her mouth.
