Chapter 3. The Dragon Slayer 1

The Dark Castle of Geisir Empire, which is symbol of
the empire, locates in center of the Black Lake. There is a Black Bridge which
is the only connected passage from the castle to outside. Because of severe
construction of the castle, lots of workers had died during the construction.
Their blood and grudge make the castle black.
In the castle, there was a black knight walking in the
corridor. Black wall, red floor, and his regular footsteps made grotesque atmosphere.
On the other hands, the black knight has bright blond
hair, blue eyes, and sharp nose. He is really handsome knight and his smile
made his face look much brighter.
His name is Carls, one of the 7 Imperial Heroes and
the leader of 4 Imperial Guardians. He is also called Dragon Slayer after
defeating fire dragon Helkite. He is the strongest knight of the empire.
He stopped walking when he noticed someone was coming
close. There was a beautiful woman who wears red dress with long red hair. She
was with lots of servants. When she saw Carls, she smiled at him.
It was the Dark Prince’s wife, Irene. She is also a
princess of Garad. Irene, the voluptuous beauty, walked to Carls, and he
greeted,
“Your Highness, Princess Irene.”
Carls greeted her and kneeled down. Irene looked at
him with hatred for a while, and inevitably gave her hand to him. Carls kissed
her hand.
“Gratitude, your highness.”
“Please stand up, General Carls.”
Carls stood and said,
“I am so glad to see you, but I am quite busy to do my
jobs. Please apologize my rudeness. Next time, I will visit and greet again,
your highness.”
And Carls walked away, she stared at his back for a
while, and said
“Commoner...”
Irene cleaned up her hand with her handkerchief. She
seemed there was something dirty on her hand. After that, she threw away her
handkerchief and went away.
Carls arrived in front of a gate and there were
guardians standing. Guardians saluted him and guided him inside. In the room,
there were big desk and a guy who has gray hair standing at the window. He was
looking at sunset. He turned to see Carls. The guy was Imperial Chancellor
Beradin.
“Welcome, General Carls.”
“Did you summon me? Chancellor.”
Beradin asked,
“How’s going on underwater city?”
“Kun and Paltamilla are working on it. They will soon
bring good news. Sir.”
Carls answered, but he seemed not worried at all.
Beradin also did not blame his attitude.
“Good. I know you always do your jobs perfectly. The
reason why I asked you to come is for the Statue of Shiva.”
Carls seemed quite interested,
“Any new dungeon found?”
“Kaseem reported that he found a Pyramid in Trisis
Desert. But he has got in trouble due to dungeon’s guardians. You need to go
there to help him.”
Carls nodded,
“Kaseem? Ok. I will head to there now.”
Carls did not talk much, and he just got out from
Beradin’s room.
They seemed not to have anything else to talk.
After Carls went out, Beradin looked out of the window
again.
