Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 107: Third Year Story Part 3

( In some other place. )

[ Royal Knights Defense Garrison Fortress. ]

Hector Richter, Donovan's grandfather, is currently monitoring the fortress of the Defense Garrison which is under his House's jurisdiction.

The Richter House is responsible to govern the Defense Garrison and Brawling Vanguard Divisions of the Royal Knights, primarily the Defense Garrison where Hector even stationed Irina there despite her rejecting him many times, but she does it anyway after Hector convinces her with the help of Duncan.

" It seems, Irina is busy dealing with my granddaughter again, as expected. " Hector says as he walks into the place with his Royal Guards behind him.

" Should I phone her for you, sir? " asked the Royal Guard Captain.

" No need, there's no reason to disturb her, it's just... "

" I kinda like when my daughter is in this place, she kept things going. " Hector says to him.

" But since she's being a mother right now, she... "

" Why didn't you order master Fernando and master Alicia (Irina's brother and sister, Donovan and Adria's uncle and aunt) here, House Leader? " asks the Royal Guard Captain to Hector.

" Really, Rudolf...? "

" You're asking about those two, Fernando even...? Hector replies while making an irritated face.

" You know that my son, Fernando is not the type who loves organizing, right? "

" Hence why he's so prosperous in the Brawling Vanguard Division! " Hector says, recounting his son's high tendencies for battle, thus making him the Commander of that Divison in the first place.

" After all that Division, Rudolf... "

" Is the Division for those who love to brawl, it's a loose cannon Division of the Royal Knights. "

" Especially in these times of peace. " Hector says as he then walks into the fortress, overseeing the place as he felt so proud that the Division he put so much effort into grows so much.

"( This is the greatest backbone of the Richter House..., that I've led for many years after the passing of my father, back then. )"

"( It feels so good to see things work according to our visions, that I... )" Hector remembers the past.

.....

( Years ago. )

" Father, is this the Defense Garrison Fortress you talked about? "

" It's so huge... " young Hector asks his father about it during his first-time visit here when he was just a little boy, probably around Donovan's biological age (estimated biological age 12 Y.O, official record in Elysium Haven is 3 Y.O) as he visits that place.

" Indeed, my son... " Hector's father, Rainard Richter says as he comes with his big full-covered armor.

" This place is our greatest defense against the monsters that come to our borders. "

" This fortress is our very fortress against the opened Gates in the rear place of Elysium Haven. " Rainard says for back in that time, there were no Gates opened inside Elysium Haven country's regions, many are still open outside the walls of the country back then, but the Gates slowly opened themselves inside the country, making the fortress more or less just became a glorified basic knights' base in the future.

" Why is this fortress needed, father? "

" I heard that even now, there are Gates opened inside our country...? " young Hector asks.

" I know... "

" You may think this fortress might be useless in the coming years but... " Rainard Richter looks at the young Hector as he then tells.

"There are some things in this fortress that we keep from the monsters. "

" And to that fact, out House is assigned to guard this place in order to keep those things safe from ever falling into the monsters' hands. "

" Do you understand...? " Rainard asks Hector.

....

( Return to the present. )

"( Why I'm having this memory all of the sudden? )"

"( Speaking of the 'things' kept in this fortress... )"

"( The 'things' are safe, right? )" Hector wonders as he prepares to continue his walk, but suddenly.

*BOOM!!!*

" What the...!? " Hector was shocked to see the explosion.

" Where's that explosion coming from!? " Hector asks as the explosion continues rapidly and somehow it continues towards his position.

" Dammit!!! " Hector says as he prepares his magic and his Dragon Eyes, the [ Magic Dragon Eye: Vision Ray ].

"( This explosion, why is it... moving? )"

"( Towards me, even..., huh!? )" Hector sees something.

"( It can't be, dammit! )"

As he sees the explosions, he sees humanoid beings behind those explosions, unburned by the flames and actually the ones who caused the continuous explosions and it's now coming to him.

" Sir Hector, please retreat, the fire will... "

" No, Rudolf!!! " Hector says to Rudolf as he draws his sword.

" You all get out of here!!! " Hector then pushes Rudolf and the other Royal Guards away from him.

Before he pushes him and the others with his Magic, Hector then gives them his words which Rudolf and the others heard, making them shocked for they can't believe it as they all are blasted outside the very place thanks to Hector, who purposefully left himself behind to face the coming explosion that meant to attack him.

" Alright, then!!! "

" Come, on!!! " Hector prepares himself to face the moving explosions as he then clashes with it and creates a large explosion over the whole fortress.

" Sir Hector!!! " Rudolf and the other shout as they see it from afar.

.....

( At the same time. )

" Is this the place? " Relia Ross says as she delved deeply into the forest nearby the Prodigal Academy.

As she arrives, the little girl then prepares the things she brings with her and pours them down in circles.

" This should be sufficient. "

" For I couldn't hold myself living among the humans, any longer...! " Relia says as she then focuses herself, changing her Mana flow inside her body, transforming her body as her ears grow, transforming into an elven ear.

As she transforms, Tania suddenly came and pins her down.

" What, what are you hmmphh!? " Relia's mouth was pinned to the ground as Tania and the other Black Shadows have come to her place.

" It seems my suspicions were true... " Tania says as she sees Relia.

" You're not a human... "

" You're an elf! " Tania says as she then informs Donovan about it, through her <Link>.

"( Young master, we found her...! )"

"( And we seem to catch her in the act in a good way. )" Tania says.
