Chapter 1
Family Secrets?
Aisha's POV
That damn brat, he'll pay for what he did to me. I was soaking wet, and the guards we're there and what's worse is that he... k-k-k-ki. I started shaking the thought of my head.
"Lady Aisha, are you alright?" One of them asked. I stood up and walked back to the castle, to get changed and tell daddy about this.
~At the Castle~
?'s POV
"Lord Advisors, I have news. Your daughter was drowning in the lake outside Hamel bridge." One of the guards replied.
"What is she alright?!" Worrying of her daughter.
"Yes apparently, locals told us that she was saved by a boy her age, with red hair and seemed to work for the Ruben Red Couriers(Rather than Red Knights XD)". They then showed a picture, that was taken during the conflict.
"Ruben's Red Couriers?" Lord Haervun, was trying to know who they were.
"They're a group of elite messenger, trained to deliver messages all over Elrios's in any type of conditions whether if they have to fight a monster or travel in snowy mountains and by what the locals described this child must be a prodigy to be accepted in the Couriers in a young age." I responded. Everyone, began to look at me.
"Oh, and how do you know of this secretary, Yumi? One of them questioned me.
"The Oto Royal Family, Specialize in knowing the knowledge of Elrios. So we know everything top to bottom and I also know the identity of the boy who saved your daughter Lord Advisor." I said, confidently.
"Oh, and who might he be?"
"The boy's name is Elsword Everhart and he's...
Elsword's POV
After some time, I finally arrived back home. Ruben, its a very peaceful town, its also a great agriculture city and also the home of the Red Couriers. Before, I headed home. I decided to head to headquarters to check-out of work. Entering the huge facility, I saw a bunch of other Couriers busy with the Night-Shift. I went to the front Counter to report my delivery.
"Ah, Els. Finish your delivery?" Captain Lowe replied.
"Yes Sir, all 75 letters were delivered for the day. I'm just here to check in." I gave my bag to him and went into the changing room to change out of my uniform and into my regular red-hoodie and black jeans. Putting away my uniforms inside my lockers and headed outside I saw Lowe, right before I left to home.
"Hey Els, you finish the last loads of deliveries for the day. So you're free for the week, also here's your pay." He handed me a bag with 10k of ED, I was very surprised of this payment.
"Captain, are you sure?! With this money, you can have a month's worth of food!" I was making sure the captain was alright with this.
"Yeah, you worked hard for about a year now and I decided that you needed a bonus. Enjoy it, while it last." He gave me a smile, and I was happy. I thanked him and ran back home, to let sis know of the good news. Me and Elsa live in a apartment building near the courier building, on the first floor. Entering the somewhat small room, I saw Elsa making dinner.
"Oh Els, you're back. Dinner almost ready, so you might want to clean-up." Just before I cleaned up. I showed her my pay for the week. She seemed very surprised. "Els, where did you get all this money?"
"Oh, the captain, gave me this as a bonus for working so hard. Sis, with this money we can have enough money to for more foods in our mouth. Isn't that great." I said, with a smile. She smiled back at parents passed away, mom died from a strange sickness and dad passed away for a unknown cause. Elsa, always looked sad. So I try my best to make her happy, in anyway possible. If sis is happy, then I'm happy. I gave my sister the money and washed-up. Heading to the dinner table, was a beef stew. That was small, yet a filling as well. Just as we we're about to eat. Their was a knock on the door.
"Now, who could that be?" Elsa, then opened the door and saw guards from Hamel. "May I help you?"
"We're looking for a boy name Elsword Everhart. Son of Aodhen Everhart. I hear he lives here?" One of the guards spoke. Elsa, reaction changed and she replied rudely to the guards.
"I'm sorry, but we don't accept your kind here. Goodnight to you two." She slammed the door in front of them.
"Sis, are you alright?" I asked her. She then returned into her calm state.
"Its nothing Els, just eat your stew." Responding, in a stress look. The door was knocked again.
"Ma'am, open this door immediately! Or we're breaking it open." They soon start slamming the door.
"Sis, what's going on? What do they want with me?" I asked her again. Sis, just ignored me and went into one the cabinet, she took out a sword, that was encrusted with finely designed metal. She opened the door and point the sword at the guards.
"I said, leave. I don't care what you have to say. Just leave and never come back!" She started to pointed the sword closed to one of their throats. Before she could do anything, I stopped her.
"Sis, just stopped already. Let me, hear what they have to say." I demanded her.
"But Els..."
"I said now!" I forced her. She dropped the blade down and let the guards in. They took a seat and we began to talk.
"So is there something you wanted to talk about? One of the guards, then handed me a royal crested letter. I opened it and started to read it.
Dear Elsword Everhart,
We would like you to join the Hamel's Knight, as thanks for saving the Lord Advisor Daughter.
We will provide you with a bed, three meals a day, and a payment of 20,000 ED per week.
If you accept our offer. Please come to the castle next week, to take your knighthood orientation.
~Secretary Yumi Otonara
My eyes widen, and soon a smile came up to my face. Other than making sis happy, my other dream was becoming a knight of Hamel and what's great about this is that I'm getting paid. "Sis, did you hear this. I'm going to become a knight."
"Elsword Everhart. You shall not become a knight(Starts Whispering) Not after what happen to dad." I heard what she said and my expression changed.
"Elsa, you know what happened to dad. Then please, tell me the truth." I said, in a serious tone.
"*Sigh*, guess you have to know the truth sooner or later. Els, our father was actually a knight of Hamel. He was known as the Crimson Paladin. Sir, Aodhen Everhart. This sword, I hold is the last memento that we have of our father.(Elsa, starts tearing up) Our father was killed during a mission and know what's worst is my little brother's going to become a knight. I don't want the same thing, to happen to you Els. So please..." Elsa, soon starts to cry. Comforting her, I calm her down and replied.
"Don't worry, sis. I won't let the same thing happened to father. I'll become a knight that surpassed dad and when I walked back home. I'll be a captain of a knight brigade. Just count on that." This made sis, calmed down and she smiled at me.
"If thats what you want to do. Then I won't stop you. But, promise me this, Elsword. Promise me you won't die." I simply smiled at her and replied.
"I'll make sure, to come back alive and one peace." I smiled at her and so, for the following week I got prepared by reviewing the art of knighthood and its code.
~A week Later~
I slowly awoken myself from my slumber. The week flew by pretty fast and today was the day of my orientation. I got up and got changed into the tunic, sis made for me(Sword Knight Outfit). It was made of light cloth and some metal plating. If there's one thing, that sis was good at other than cooking, it was tailoring. I went out of the house and saw her waiting for me outside, holding my bag and dad's sword.
"So today's the big day. Huh" I replied to her.
"Yes it is." She then handed me dad's sword. I began to examined the sword and its details.
"This is Conwell. Dad's blade when he was a knight. Now entrusted to you Elsword, though you aren't ready to use it. I'm sure, there will be a time to come when you be able to use our father's legendary blade." I sheathed the sword into its scabbard and put it on my back. Sis, gave me another sword for me to use(Sword Knight's sword). She handed me my bag and I left to Hamel. I waved goodbye and started running to Hamel.
(Don't worry sis, I'll become a knight and surpassed dad. Even better I'll become a the Lord of all knight's.) I thought, to myself ambitiously. As I continued running to Hamel.
This is the beginning of my story. My Story and adventures in Elrios.
