The Heiress Of The Legendary Family [S1]
Knight Exam: Stage 2

PAKKS

"Time's up!!!" The butler clapped his hand, making the attention of all participants diverted to him. "All of you, line according to each group!"

Soon, they lined up neatly. In Casilda's group, the girl was at the front of her row, followed by Charles in the middle and Eden at the back.

Speaking of Eden, it turns out that he is much higher than Casilda expected. About 190 cm in height, making it look like a pole between the caste sticks.

Eden's wavy hair is jet black like the night sky. His eyes are black, just like his hair. His clothes were neat with a cloth tied to his stomach.

His eyes are sharp like apex predators, his face is thin and looks cool. The contents of his mind could not be guessed by anyone else, except Casilda who had a very strong instinct.

'I just realized that Eden is always stared at by other female participants' inner Casilda while glancing at someone who is inward.

Charles glared in surprise. 'A-Sister is thinking about that guy?! W-Did Brother like it?! Ga ga ga!! This cannot be allowed to be banned!! I have to make Brother dislike that guy!!' Then, he looked at Eden with an aura of hostility that emanated strongly.

'D-he's why, anyway? Serem. Does he know that I'm monitoring him?' ask Eden in your heart.

"Now, confer with your group of friends, which box to choose, then immediately go to the box. Don't open it!" said the butler.

Casilda turned to Charles and Eden. "Which one are we?"

"I'm with Brother" Charles replied.

"I'm spoiled" replied Eden.

"..." - ".Casilda looked at them with a flat gaze. "Okay, if so, we take the rest" he said.

Then, the three men searched for the remaining box there.

"Oh, it's right there!" point Eden.

"Okay, gaskeun." They also approached the box.

"Everybody got their own boxes, didn't they? Now, open the box of your choice!"

At the same time, the participants opened their own boxes. Inside there are 3 sheets of paper containing different puzzles.

"So soon solve the puzzle and bring the three items, then come back here again. We'll meet in 7 hours." After saying that, the butler disappeared behind the darkness.

The three of them read the first riddle carefully, ignoring the other participants who had already dashed out of the old mansion.

Under the scorching sun, I took refuge behind the ground and was enveloped by darkness.

Unable to hold back my tears, I silently lowered my head, protecting my weeping estuary that would never recede.

"Well, that makes poetic puzzles too, yes" Casilda commented bluntly.

"This is not the time to think about it, Casilda.." Sweatdrop.

"Yes, yes! Like Brother! Who are you, anyway? You're just a stranger, don't be a brother-nigger, you are!" charles protested cynically.

Eden jerks. 'Loh? How am I, anyway?' It seemed, he was still shocked by the absurd nature of these two brothers.

"Protected behind the ground... It's covered in darkness." murmured Casilda. "What do you mean?"

"Covered in darkness... Is it under a tree?" guess Eden.

"Stupid! It's above ground, you know!" charles Lips.

"Hey! You're 14, right? I'm older than you, you idiot!" sewot Eden who somehow responded to Charles's sneer.

"Why indeed? You're just an NPC here! Don't bother me and Brother!" reply Charles did not lose the sewot.

"Such a boy you really need to be taught manners, yes!💢💢"

"Whatever you say, Old Man!"

"What did you say?!💢💢"

"What's? You're deaf, huh?" charles' circus pierced Eden's heart.

"By.. Basic brengshake💢💢.. FORWARD IF YOU DARE!!"

"OKAY, WHO'S AFRAID!!"

This time, it was Casilda's turn to sweatdrop. Charles is temperamental and insinuating, but it shouldn't be like this.

Especially Eden. Though Casilda was 100% sure with her instincts that said that the young man had a calm nature. But, why is he even OOC—Out Of Character?!

'I guess, this time it was just sane. Tumben very' his inner with depressed.

Choosing to ignore the two people who were still fighting, Casilda went back to reading the puzzle.

Take cover behind the ground... Enveloped in darkness... Withstanding crying... And the crying estuary. What does everything mean?

'What makes the puzzle too poetic, not exciting, ' the girl snorted in her heart. 'But, I'm sure, the "soaring cry" referred to here is the item we should carry.'

Casilda took her pocket watch. Apparently, the time has passed 10 minutes, less 6 hours and 50 minutes to be able to complete this second stage.

'If we have 7 hours, we should be able to solve this puzzle at maximum within 2 hours 20 minutes. And now it's 10 minutes, less than 2 hours and 10 minutes to solve the first puzzle.'

"Charles, Eden, let's go—" Casilda's words came to a halt when she saw the two people she was calling out were pulling each other's hair with wounds on their faces. Don't forget their dirty clothes.

"—Searching for that item now" Casilda added with a darkened face. Horrible aura—bak an apex predator above the apex predator—when out.

"K-Rats..." Charles was fixated with a pale face, as was Eden.

"We-we can explain." said the two of them simultaneously.

"Nothing to explain ANYMORE!!"

BUAGHH BAGH BAKK BRAKK

"Pardon us.." said the two men.

"Hmmm!" Casilda turned her face the other way, she lashed.

Meanwhile, the butler who was watching the ridiculous incident again heartbreakingly patted his forehead with resignation.

"Hadeh.. Though they have very great strength and very fitting if placed in the same team. But unfortunately, they still need time to understand each other, yes." he murmured.

"But, no problem. They are the three people I would recommend as Knights in the future." Butler was smiling. He then turned his head towards Casilda who was now dragging the other two out of the building.

"You're recommending that Miss Blue Hair, aren't you, Andros the Mighty Nahkoda?"

"Kakaohawk... Forgive me, brother.." whine Charles while crying bombay. Very OOC. "Forgive me, Brother... I will, not this man either." point him toward Eden.

"Hey! What do you mean, ha?!" Eden who previously also cried bombay did not accept.

"SILENCE!! NO NOISE!!"

The two young men of different ages were instantly silent. They resignedly let the collar of their backside clothes dragged by Casilda, somewhere.

The sapphire-spirited girl continued to drag them along, not caring about her aura that had even frightened the forest-waiters on the island.

"Ka-Kakak? Where are we going?" charles asked timidly, worried that Casilda would run amok again.

"Well, he did" said Casilda, keeping Charles silent for a moment.

'K-Kak if angry really nyeremin... This is the first time you've been angry with me... This is all because of that Edan Syaland!!'

'Ca-Casilda if angry serem, euy. And also, my name is Eden, not Edan, stupid! Do you want me to kill?!' Somehow, Eden could know Charles's heart.

'Come! I'm not scared! Because of you, big brother got mad at me!! Here you are, if you dare!!'

'Okay, let's go! I can't possibly retreat from a snot boy like you!!'

"DIEM SAID YES DIEM! DON'T KEEP GUTTING CAN'T YOU?!" jolted Casilda with annoyance.

The two of them fell back into silence with sweat pouring profusely.

'Udah, deh. I'm kapok.' the inner two young men simultaneously.

Meanwhile, Casilda who was dragging them was still thinking about the answer to the riddle earlier. 'What do you mean, anyway? I don't understand being bullied by these two people. Ck, where the time has been reduced a lot, again.'

'Protected behind the ground, shrouded in darkness, resisting cries... And the crying estuary.... Undaunted, I never saw—OOH! I KNOW!!"

Immediately, Casilda ran while dragging the two men, making the legs of the two young men hit the ground many times.

'Kakaohunk.. Huh, doooong... Huweee.'s...'

'Why does it look like a gorillaaa?? It's sakiuitt!!'

Let's pray, may they both be fine until the goal.

TBC.
