You made it this far alive. Give me your medal, prince.

I stand on the spot whining so in my heart. One breath at a time. Turning their gaze to the other three, they're already breathing.

... what a body you are. I need to work out more too.

"You've got guts."

That's what Captain Marius says and shows me his nigga laughing teeth.

From here on out, Victor takes the lead. Step away from the rocks and move on to something like a dark cave. I am frightened for a moment by the invisible path ahead.

How do you know the way when there's no light or anything?

Still Captain Marius and Kelles say nothing and follow Victor. It's dark in the cave, but my eyes get used to it step by step.

It smells like a rag soaked in muddy water for a few days, but this much can stand it. Honestly, the poor village smelled worse.

"There he is."

Kelless's voice sounds. Looks like he hit a big stone at his feet.

Ignoring his voice like that, Victor carefully moves forward with his hands on the wall.

I admire Uncle Will, and there's nothing like this because I've tried to sense signs around me, but for normal people, it's fear.

Flashlight...... not because we have to even go down this dark-wrapped path with no candle little fire.

If you think so, Victor's courage in leading the way is amazing, isn't it? I wonder what kind of mental state it is.

In Captain Marius's case, hitting something is going to rip him out with his big muscles, isn't it?

Or no one talks about Juld at all...... It's like he wasn't there from the beginning.

Maybe this squad is more cynical than I think. I wonder if that means there's no time for dead people.

"We're gonna split up."

With the sudden voice of Victor, we stop walking together.

When I checked the way ahead with a thin eye, the road was divided into two parts. It's an unknown world for all of us.

I heard a slight sound of water coming from one road.... I wonder if there's a waterfall or something.

"Is there something at the end of one way or the other..."

"Maybe there's something about both of them."

"Or maybe nothing at both"

Me and Victor answer Kelles' whining.

I took the liberty of excluding the possibility of nothing from my mind.

I can't believe there's nothing so far... a heavy sentence. Let the prince circle the castle upside down.

"How do you divide it?

"... me and the kid"

Why me!!!

"So are you okay?

"Are you dissatisfied?

"No, I just thought it would be too much responsibility for the little one..."

"I think so too. Depositing the prince's life with this one of the newcomers..."

Kelles pinches his mouth for a conversation between Captain Marius and Victor.

Yes, you are. I'm still the one who doesn't know every horse's bones.

To their suggestion, the prince wrinkles between his eyebrows. And stare straight at me.

What an intimidating eye...... I mean, why should I be seen like that!

"You, abandon me and run?

"... Yes?

There was an unexpected strange voice on the completely unexpected question.
