# The Birth of a Hero? (1)

The eyes of the knight who had been protecting the entrance of the Puzzle City City Hall were sparkling.

The radiant shield slowly became dimmer as it disappeared from the sky. In its place was the blue sky looking extremely clear.

“Woooooooooooooooo--!”

"We're alive!”

The cheering soldiers... Their shouts made it feel real.

This long battle was finally over.

They never expected to see such a clear sky afterward.

A gentle smile appeared on the knight’s face.

Although it was a day in winter and not much time was left in this year... The sun in the sky felt oddly warm and the wind felt refreshing instead of cold.

“It’s over.”

His mumbling made the senior knight standing next to him laugh out loud and nod his head.

“Looks like it. Finally... finally-”

The senior knight could not say anything else and raised his head to look at the person standing in the sky.

Cale Henituse. He was standing firm.

“The shield truly does not break.”

“Definitely.”

The knight nodded his head vigorously at his senior’s comment to show his agreement.

“I knew that the Commander-nim would persist to the end.”

Although this god was sealed, they were told that an attack with the power of a god would soon envelope Puzzle City.

‘It gave me chills.’

Loud explosions that sounded as if his ears would explode rang endlessly and gusts of wind from the impact rushed against them.

They could not see the different powers mixed together because of the large shield surrounding Puzzle City and Cale’s half-transparent silver shield, but they knew that there was quite the clash in there.

‘Yes. But the shield still persisted.’

The thing that remained in the end, the thing that persisted through everything, was the shield.

It was the Commander of the Roan Kingdom.

The knight smiled and he did not share his emotions.

“The shield did not even budge just as I expected!”

The knight saw the senior knight’s face stiffen at that moment.

He got chills on the back of his neck.

“Really?”

He heard a low voice.

The knight urgently turned his head and froze in spot after seeing the two people in front of the group.

“The shield did not even budge you say......”

This person was from the noble household that was said to have the most influence in the Roan Kingdom right now.

The Duke's House of Henituse.

The master of the household, Deruth Henituse, was smiling while being supported by his second son, Basen Henituse. Basen had rushed over to Puzzle City after hearing that the Duke had fainted.

Duke Deruth’s eyes were not smiling.

The knight subconsciously gulped.

He recalled the information about how Duke Deruth had fainted from shock after seeing former Commander Cale Henituse stab himself in the chest with a dagger.

“Okay.”

The Duke nodded his head and asked in a low voice.

“That blood-covered look, that messy look seems perfect without any issues to you?”

Duke Deruth was known as someone who had a lot of money, cared a lot for his family and his territory, and for having a good personality. He was just known as a typical noble when he was a Count.

However, the Henituse territory defeating the Indomitable Alliance and his territory being known as the hometown of Cale, Choi Han, and other distinguished individuals changed the way people looked at him.

However, the majority opinion still remained that Duke Deruth was a gentle person.

‘...H, his gaze-’

The knight subconsciously lowered his head.

Deruth's gaze was quite vicious unlike the smile on his face.

No, it was cold.

Unlike his body which looked tired and made it seem as if his condition was terrible, his eyes were extremely frigid.

“I, I'm sorry, sir.”

The knight subconsciously apologized.

“For what? It’s understandable that you would think that way. There is no need to apology.”

Duke Deruth walked past the knight and patted him on the shoulder.

“I just hope that you remember that I am Cale’s father. What kind of parent would be able to brush aside their child looking like this?”

The knight’s tense shoulders relaxed after hearing Deruth's gentle voice.

Pat, pat. Deruth patted the knight's shoulder and walked past him. He walked for a while before stopping for a moment and looking around.

“...Basen.”

“Yes, father.”

Basen’s expression looked almost identical to Deruth’s.

“My son.”

“Yes, father.”

“...It looks like there are some people who can’t see the injured because they managed to survive.”

Vice Captain Hilsman and the others from the House of Henituse who were with Deruth and Basen did not have any emotions visible on their faces.

“Basen.”

“Yes, father?”

"What kind of House is the House of Henituse?”

Basen responded without any hesitation.

“There is no reason to be recorded in history. Live for peace and happiness instead.”

“Yes. That is the House of Henituse.”

Deruth watched people coming out from different parts of Puzzle City cheering, people moving quickly to deliver the message to other places, and people hugging each other in relief. Finally, he looked toward the person that most of the people were looking at. He looked up at his son Cale and continued speaking.

“It looks like we may have the first person in the House of Henituse to have their name recorded in history. Then we should at least keep the second part of our creed.”
