You are a demon

"You have my word. I'll help you as long as you keep my identity secret," said Diana.

"It's not my birthmark," I stated. As I already stated, I showed her my mark. When she saw my mark, her expression changed dramatically. She asked solemnly to me, "Are you a hunter, Mr.? or you're lying to us"..

"What exactly do you mean by that?" I asked.

"You're not a hunter, are you? You deceived us," she said.

"Why do I lie to you guys?" I said, my tone irritated.

"You are a demon," Diana replied, looking at me with stern eyes.

"What? Stop your nonsense. Just tell me what this symbol means," I asked.

"You will be the reason for opening the gate," Diana said.

"What?" I asked in a startled tone. Her husband unexpectedly opened the door and glanced at me.

He was going to ask, "Are you-," but Diana stopped him and smiled. "I'm OK, hubby," Diana stated.

I turned to face Will and said. "Mr. Will, I apologize for misunderstanding your wife. Please accept my apologies for my inconvenience," I stated.

"Mr., it's OK, but don't make the same mistake. I understand your job is to protect us, but you need solid evidence to accuse someone of," said Will. "Let it be, honey. However, he is not a bad person, "Diana said. After that, we didn't talk about it anymore. We just did casual talk. That kid spent the entire journey with Hawki.

Wyiner was on his way to the training center to see the knights. Evan was helping Bennett in his practice rounds. Wyiner was having a conversation with a knight. Suddenly, Yean appeared out of nowhere. "My lord," Yean said. "Yes, do you need anything?" Wyiner asked. "It's an urgent issue from the north," Yean said. Wyiner gave the knight a sidelong glance and gestured for him to leave them alone. As the knight went away, he murmured, "yeah, Yean."

Evan, on the other hand, kept a tight watch on him. As he saw Yean leave the center, Evan said to Benett.

"Benett, just keep doing what you're doing, okay? Also, keep in mind one thing. Never underestimate your opponent," Evan said. Bennett nodded and returned his attention to his practice.

Evan remained in the center as long as Wyiner did. He made a hasty rush to the fort and climbed the stairs to Wyiner's office. As he stood in front of the door, he took a glance around. Evan took his time opening the door.

Evan's Aside.

I'm sorry, Uncle. But, I need to know. I can't let him know the truth.

The opposing viewpoint.

I'm often struck by her statements. I really want to know more, but I can't ask in front of her husband. We'll be at our destination in a few moments. They left from the same station as mine.

Maxilin walked over to his horse's wagon. But he was startled to hear a woman's voice.

"Mister."

I noticed Diana as I turned back. "What are you looking for now?" I asked.

She added, with a smile, "You know, you should be more polite to a girl. Anyway, I'd like to say something to you about that mark."

I stared at her, eager to know.

"You stated it isn't your birthmark. But, I think it is. Maybe it was hidden and when you got a sense of power, it revealed itself. I'm sorry, but I'm no longer able to help you with this. Because I sensed a frightening dark power around you when I first saw you. I have a child and a husband, and I can't push them into this," she stated.

"Okay, I've figured it out. Mrs. Diana, I appreciate your help." As I already stated, I mounted my horse.

"However, I have an excellent suggestion for you. Your son has the ability, and I'm sure you are aware of this. If you don't let him be one of us, it will be a loss for us." I continued to slump on my horse after saying to her with a smile.

The opposing viewpoint.

Evan was looking for the letter on Wyiner's desk. Evan mumbled, "damn, where did he keep the letter?"

I must find it at any cost. But I could not find it at his office. I looked through all of his critical documents, but it wasn't there. When I couldn't find it after searching everywhere, I squeezed my brow. After that, I walked straight to his room, thinking of something. I'm sure the letter is in there if it isn't here.

'clop''clop'.

Maxilin walked slowly into the town. Everyone came to a halt and gave him an odd look. It happens every time when I go on a new mission. Everyone was taken aback when they saw me in this outfit, and they often asked about it out of curiosity.

Maxilin got close to a well. Then, an older man approached and asked. He asked, "Who are you, boy?" I responded to him without taking my clothes off my face as soon as I heard him. "I've only come to see the town's leader. Could you please tell me where I may reach him? "I asked gently. After all, someone had stated that I didn't know how to respect others.

That old man nodded his head and stared at me from head to toe. That old man is no longer glad to help me. I looked to the west and saw that it was about to be dusk. I didn't waste my time waiting for him and was ready to go when that man called me.

"Go straight and turn left, boy. Then you'll see a two-story home. It's his home," he stated.

"Thank you," I murmured as I walked away, but he stopped me again. "Are you related to him? Or would you want to do anything here?" he asked.

I said, "I'm just his friend's son."

I didn't take a second to think, kept walking and followed his instructions and walked the same way. After a short time, I got to the house. I took a step back before entering the home. I noticed how quiet everything appeared suddenly. People are going to their homes and locking the doors. I repeatedly knocked on his door. However, after a while, the door was opened by a small girl.

"Yes," she finally said after a while.

I could see it in her face that she was startled to see me. "Does this belong to Mr. Alex's House?" I asked. She gave a slow nod. "Could you kindly inform him that his friend has sent a guy to meet him?" I said. As soon as she heard me, she closed the door in front of my face.

I drew my brows together and stared. This is really absurd. Doesn't this child know how to interact with seniors? The sun was sinking in the west as I gazed around. I could also hear the sound of the crashing waves. It's probable that the beach is nearby. As soon as I heard the door open, I turned around.

"Who is this?" asked a middle-aged guy as he answered the door. "Lord Wyiner sent me here," I replied.

"But," he said, "he didn't send me a letter that he was already sending to someone."
