The Heiress Of The Legendary Family [S1]
Knight Exam: Stage 3²

Taps.... Taps... Taps....

His footsteps echoed in that silent dark passageway. His eyes glanced around, empty and quiet. Do not forget the humidity of the place that is so high.

This time, Casilda was neither with Charles nor Eden. This third stage makes all participants work independently by completing 6 predetermined quests.

Casilda got 6 quests with different difficulties. He was sure, among the six quests, there must be some difficulty reaching S-rank.

He's not afraid. After all, the preparations were already quite mature.

His bold and bold steps continued to echo there. It did not feel like this had reached his third quest. The first and second quests were completed and he managed to get the items he needed.

This third quest was quite unique and strange. On the paper that Casilda got from the butler it says 'Women's tears in black dress'.

The problem is, Casilda doesn't understand. Whatdoes thatmean? Are there any other living creatures on this island? How could he not feel his existence?

Not understanding, Casilda just rely on her instincts. And his instinct told him to enter this dark, damp passageway.

The passageway he entered was near the old building where they had gathered earlier. Likely, this passageway was part of that old building.

This dark passageway was about 2 meters high. For Casilda, the ceiling of this hallway was quite close to her head. Of course, she is 175 cm tall, much taller than other women.

The inside of this hallway was filled with moss and grass. No lighting at all. There are no other animals here. Though there are usually many wild animals that live in unkempt places like this.

'Is it not because the animals are afraid of me, huh?' think Casilda ngawur. 'I guess not, deh. Au, ah, handover.'

He also continued his journey. The further he stepped, the more tree roots penetrated the walls and ceiling of the hallway.

The roots of the tree with disrespect have shifted the location of bricks that have been arranged neatly since long ago.

'This is true, if the trees on have no manners' inner Casilda is absurd.

Every time Casilda stepped foot, strange air crept closer to her. The place was even more humid than before.

Just in case, Casilda took a pill that she had brought. Pills that help the way of breathing in any circumstances and anywhere.

'Good thing Lou brother once told me to take these pills. Thank you, Brother Lou! I love Brother, deh.. Hehe...'

The movement of the golden yellow unravelling youth's hands stopped instantly. His gaze then headed towards the outside of the window, looking far away at it.

"What's up, Mr Louise? Why aren't you focused?" asked a woman in glasses.

"Ah, forgive me, Professor. I felt like my sister was talking about me" Louise replied as she scratched the back of her head.

The female professor nodded while sighing. "Alright, next time don't let your concentration wither away, Mr. Louise. If that happens, I won't hesitate to give you a heavy sanction."

"Well, I'm sorry, Professor" Louise said. 'I mean, why is Casilda talking about me, huh? Would he like to thank me for my advice in the letter?'

Louise put her index finger on her chin in a thinking pose. 'Hm... I guess.'

"Pst, pst, Louise!" whispered my fellow Young Master Citrine. "When did you have a sister?"

"Since I met him" Louise replied briefly, not intending to talk about Casilda to another man.

"Huh?"

"Be quiet. You're noisy."

"Sorry..."

Back again to Casilda who is now sneezing a little.

"Hatshii!!" The girl wiped her nose. "It's like Lou's sister is talking to me, deh. Whynot? Does she realize I'm thinking about her again?"

"Ah, done. Mending to continue the quest." He then returned to walking after a while.

The inside of the passageway was getting darker and had a strange aura. The air suddenly turned cold and gripping. However, the cold was not as normal as the cold air normally was.

Like the... There were delicate creatures that made this cold air.

'The longer the horror, man. But... It's also getting more challenging!' inner Casilda while smiling obliquely, more precisely grinning very wide.

'There's a waiter here, right? Come, come here, come to me!!' challenge Casilda still with her grin.

He walked with his horrible smile. Not afraid of the threats that will come.

Just suddenly..

BRAKKS

The wall of the hallway to the left of Casilda was shattered by pressure. The wall was hollow until it hit the wall that was to the right of the girl.

Casilda was able to dodge that impromptu attack thanks to her extremely powerful instincts. He turned his head towards his left wall with a smile.

"Oohs? You've come, haven't you? Ihihihi" Casilda said excitedly.

A female figure from behind the wall appeared to be staring at Casilda with a cold, flat, yet sharp and piercing face.

His face was pale like a corpse. His long hair was a bit messy. Around his eyes was a thick dark circle. Her black dress was slightly torn apart and filled with dirt and dust.

In his right hand was a sharp, rusty knife, with fresh blood dripping onto his bare foot.

With that sharp flat face, he walked closer to Casilda who was grinning more and more.

Cringggs

Some atomic particles were hovering around his right hand. The flying particles then formed a sword with a pale green handle.

The sword was quite large and quite long. The aura that the sword gave off was pale green in color. It was the Aura-Eating Sword he found in the cave located in the Sacred Forest.

The figure was not affected at all when it saw Casilda pull out her sword. He still walked up to the girl with his sharp glare.

Casilda prepared to do the horses, she directed the tip of the sword towards the figure who was still walking towards her. Then later...

"Do you have any food? I'm hungry."

The tip of Casilda's sword that was in front of the figure's neck instantly came to a halt.

"Did?" parrot girl girded the sapphire.

"Hiks.. Hix... He is so cruel!! Hix... Hiks.." whimpered the black dress figure while sobbing.

Casilda who heard and saw him let out a tired sigh. His expression was so flat as the figure in black dress confided in him.

'Why is it like this? No matter who wants to war, uh even want to vent.' Grunts Casilda tiredly. 'Eh, but if I'm a gini, I can complete my quest, anyway.'

Then, Casilda took out a small empty jar that she usually used to put her pills in. He lifted the little jar under the figure's cheek until his tears entered it.

'Nice, I can complete the quest easier, nih.' Casilda laughed nonchalantly, ignoring the crying figure beside her.

The figure was named Hayaleth, she was a woman in a black dress who was very famous for her horrors. He used to be one of the family members who lived on this island.

One day, the leader of the family died. During the funeral, Hayaleth is stabbed by someone without being noticed by other family members.

His body was wearing a black dress.

After being stabbed, Hayaleth was locked up in an unknown location. He was hungry and cold there. No one helped him at all.

Even to death he was still hungry and cold. Then, Hayaleth saw Casilda here. The woman first saw such a courageous figure as Casilda.

Women are usually weak. But Casilda was different. The proof, the girl even challenged Hayaleth who was always feared by people.

At first, Hayaleth was not very interested in Casilda. But, as soon as he saw the sapphire-shelled girl eating a pill, he was immediately attracted.

Interested in eating something.

He starved.

Eating it, Hayaleth approached the girl with a knife used by the perpetrator who stabbed her first. Fortunately, Casilda was not afraid of him, so she could ask the girl for food.

Casilda had to give up the pills she had to satisfy Hayaleth's appetite. And for some reason, Hayaleth even confided to Casilda about her past and love life.

'Hadeh... The woman was indeed complicated, yes.' Inner Casilda sighed.

"Keep, do you know what he's saying?!" asked Hayaleth with excitement. "He likes other people!! I have always been by her side!! Why is that guy always so cruel?! All guys are the same!!"

Casilda again sighed. 'Haahh.. When is this over? I want to quickly enter the [Teleportation]- somewhere else...'

"Then he—"

SHATTS

"Ah." Casilda rubbed her eyes. He is now in a different place than before.

"I'm finally free."
