Flash back of 10years ago
Everyone was celebrating the finding of the kingdom shanic was with lord zaratras as usual, they were about to go join the party with everyone "lord zaratras with all do respect i think maybe you should go rest, besides their still battles to be done with and-" she was cut off by him like always he had a kind smile "come now shanic its ok to have a bit fun now and then besides its been awhile sense i last had a drink so lets stop being holy knight amd grand master for a bit and also i told you call me zara, its fine really" he says to her patting her head a bit hearing the klink of the armour he still had on, she would just let out a sigh shaking her head
And look at him with the same look as always a blank but serious face "fine but only for a little bit then you go to your room to rest" she says crossing her arms, he agreed smiling even more, they were about to leave the room they were in (a/n idk what room all i know it was one of the buildings of the highest room so ye)
Until shanic was black out cold she fell on the ground, then he was brutily murdered, after along while shanic woke up gasping sweat coming down her forehead "shanic are you ok?" she heard a soft and deep voice she looks up seeing hendrickson "yes...Where..*gasps!* lord zaratras! Where is he!? Is he safe!" she asks him quickly getting up "shanic calm down. Please you just woke up from a small a coma" she heard another deep voice she turns to her left and sees drefuss "drefuss...But..Lord zaratras..Is he alright?" drefuss looks down gripping his hands together as he was setted "no..He was murdered...But we safe you just in time..But.." he looks up tears rolling down his face, sue fell on her knees with a depressing look on her face and in shock "who...Who murdered him?.." she asks "the seven deadly sins." hendrickson said 'no they wouldn't do that with out reasons...I know that they wouldn't kill the grand master...Cause it would kill gil soul they all knew he look up to his father...' she says in her head still in shock
She got up on her feet slowly "i-it was you two wasn't..." she says to them drefuss had a shock look and hendrickson look a bit surprise but he knew he couldn't lie or keep things from her "yes. It was but it was my idea, so if you like you can kill me" he says giving his sword to her having her point it at his chest, her body was shaking a bit but then took a deep breath "no..I won't" she drops the sword and looks at both of them. Then she bows down one knee placing her arm on her other one playing her free hand on her chest "This Is My Vow, this is my promise, i vow to protect drefuss, i promise to stay and die or to live for hendrickson, and to protect the ones who are your Commerce if you wish, that is my vow and that is my promise i give" she says to them "i have already made the vow and promise to you two first..So ill do whatever i can to keep you safe and alive" she says looking at them
Hendricks smile a bit and drefuss as well, they both reach their hands out to her, she takes them and lets them help her up on her feet again, then suddenly hendrickson pull her into him and kiss her head "thank you shanic" he said which made her blush very deeply she was almost about to faint but then drefuss snap her out of it "we should do a funeral for my brother dont you think shanic?" he ask pulling her to him, she nodded her head as a yes her blush going away now.
End of flash back
Shanic's pov
I went to visit zararas grave like usual placing down flower lilly's and sat down on my knees "hello again zaratras...I hope your doing better then us..The kingdom is doing an ok life here but.." i stops looking down "every village of south, east and west dont really trust the holy knights now like the use to, things change over the years.." i try to hold in my tears then i got up "ill see you tomorrow then." i left to go home for now
I opens her door to my house then upstairs to put on my armor, i then went up to mt room taking off all my regular clothes then i put on my armor, it took some time but i finally put them on
I did had other armor but i like this one cause it protected most of my body, then i grab my double swords, all holy knights have is magic power you could say mine was like requip but i had a few as well but i barely use it in battle, i went to kingdoms Castle to see hendrickson and drefuss cause the holy knights were having a meetint today i started to walk there
After some time i made it but someone who never agree try to kill both hendrickson and drefuss so instead i kill that person to stop them not giving any emotion what so ever "sorry I'm late lord hendrickson and lord drefuss" i bow down then got up on my feet "its ok, in fact your just in time" hendrickson says to me has i turn around looking at the other holy Knights with somewhat a glare they all got scared and bow down as well
Time skip
After the meeting was over hendrickson call to me "shanic follow me please" he ask and i did, i was guessing that he found someone else to be a new generation of a holy knights actually two people, helbram knock them out as Gila blindfolded them both, after along while of walking gila and helbram unblindfolded them "you well be the new generation of the holy knights that were chosen, but first answer me this" he ask but as soon he was Jericho ask something "what is that thing!?" in a shock she kinda back away "its the demon we found in the fairy forest" i said to her "now answer lord hendrickson question" i said to them in a serious manner "do you desire power?"
He ask them and they both said yes, my other power was mind reading as well for jericho she was strip from her armor until she was in nothing but her bra and panties by ban doesn't really surprise me to be honest and for the one who says " conclusion" he was beating by melodious that didn't surprise me either, they both wanted to be stronger then them they were greeding for power
Lord hendrickson went to the dead demon with two what look like wine cups then he cut the demon a bit and purple blood came out filling up the cups, he gave them their cups "then if you desire power drink the demons blood and you'll get what you want" he says with a small smile my face was just blank, once they drank the demons blood jericho she cough out blood and pass out as the other one he well, exploded. But then jericho got on her knees and hands i could feel her new powers coming in
I was not needed anymore so i walk of the tunnels to wait outside, once i was outside waiting i look up at the night sky seeing the stars "another night of a new holy knight.." i said to myself thinking i was alone until i felt someone wrapping an arm around my waist i was about to pull out my sword "calm down shanic its only me" the sound of a husky and deep voice made me shiver and blush a bit "l-lord hendrickson.." i look at him my face almost turning red "d-did you need something lord hendrickson?" i ask in a quiet tone looking down hopping he wouldn't see me blush
Hendrickson pov
I saw a hint of blush appeared on her cheek i couldn't help but thought she was cute "no nothing" i said with a smile on my face "i-i see.." was all she said with a small stuttering she's always like this with me but when its someone else she doesn't give off any emotion to them, I've already knew she loved me im not going to say i dont but there sometimes when there needs to be a moment when i can tell her "can i ask you something though?" i said to her looking straight ahead to the city
"u-um yes you can lord hendrickson" she says then i turn her around facing me "would you live in the castle here? I think it'll be a bit more easy for you and your baby brother grady, i wouldn't mind and im sure drefuss wouldn't either" i said to her with a smile still on my face "i-i um..Well if you dont mind then..O-ok" she says then my smile grew bigger almost like a child i pull her into me giving her not just a hug but a small kiss on her head "great, we'll get your stuff tomorrow then" i said "but i need to get grady-" "i already send someone to get him, well i ask Dreyfuss" i said to her pulling her in more into me "for now we'll sleep in my room" i said "e-eh!?" she lifts her head up seeing her face glowing red "n-no i couldn't-" i lifted her up over my shoulder walking there "kyaaa! L-l-lord h-hendrickson!" was all she said squirming away until we got to my room, i lay her down and i lay with her
She gave up and just slept with me sense her magic is requip she was now in her pj's well it was a short white nightgown that she wears to bed really it's the only dress she'll wear "good night, shanic" i kiss her forehead this time and snuggle her close.
Bounce!
