Bab 11: The Courtains of A Dark Intention
As dawn rise again, Victor, who had woken up early, was seen practicing alone with the two knives he had received from Gideon in his front yard.
He repeatedly tried to throw the knives at a large tree trunk that he used as a target.
"Almost made it... one more time!", Victor said to encourage himself when the knives he threw failed to hit the spot he was aiming for.
Gideon, who had just woken up from his sleep because he heard the sound of Victor practicing outside, was curious about what Victor was actually doing.
He walked to the front yard and from the front door of the house he observed Victor smiling at his efforts.
"Once again! I almost made it.", Victor said to encourage himself when his knife throw missed again.
Victor tried again to throw one of his knives but again failed, then suddenly a knife that did not belong to him managed to hit the target point which surprised him.
It turned out that the knife was a knife thrown by Gideon from the front door of his house, Victor immediately turned his head towards Gideon who seemed to be yawning.
"Hey! How can you do that so easily?!", asked Victor very curious.
"It's simple... follow and trust your own instincts, and you'll do it!" explained Gideon.
"Well, how do I do that?" Victor asked again.
Gideon smiled and walked over to Victor to teach him what he could, as he watched Victor's palm as he held the knives.
"No wonder... that's not the right way to hold a knife for a beginner!", said Gideon.
"Oh, so I'm holding the knife the wrong way?" Victor said as he looked at his palm.
"That's it! Take a good look!", explained Gideon while modeling how to hold a knife correctly.
Victor also paid attention to how to hold the knife that Gideon modeled and then imitated according to what was modeled.
"This is it?! What next?", asked Victor.
"Look at your target! Remember the target point! Once you can remember it clearly the next step is to convince yourself that you and the knives are one and the same!", explained Gideon.
"Ummm...? Already!", Victor replied shortly afterward.
"Now throw it!", Gideon ordered.
Victor threw the knife and surprisingly it hit the target.
"Huh?! Successful?!", said Victor with a surprised look on his face, not expecting what he had done.
Gideon also applauded Victor's success, he again showed his skills in throwing knives in an even crazier way to Victor.
"Now how about this one?", said Gideon.
He pulled out two of his knives and with both eyes closed Gideon threw one of his knives which hit the bullseye.
"Huh?! How is that possible?!", said Victor who was stunned.
"That's nothing, hehehe..., look at this carefully and don't blink!", said Gideon proudly.
Then he turned his back on the target and threw a second knife which also managed to hit the spot.
Victor was even more stunned and curious after seeing Gideon's prowess in throwing the knives.
"It doesn't make sense... when you're not looking at the target point, then how can you do that?!", asked Victor who was increasingly curious.
"That's why I told you to remember exactly where to aim and then trust and follow your instincts!", Gideon replied.
"I think I need to practice more so that I can be like you, unfortunately tomorrow you will no longer be here to teach me more things that I want to be able to do...", said Victor who began to look glum again.
"Oh come on, don't show that look, I'll teach you so that today you can do what I can do...!" said Gideon to cheer Victor up.
"Alright!", said Victor who was starting to get excited again.
They both looked so serious practicing that Agatha, who had just finished cooking the food, called them to eat breakfast together first before they continued practicing.
Long story short, when the five of them had just finished eating breakfast together, suddenly Gideon's girl friends came to Victor's house to bring them something.
"Hey handsome, have you really recovered?", said one of the girls to Gideon.
"Hey! Of course, it is also thanks to you, my soul-saving angels, hmm...? What did you bring?", said Gideon which instantly made the girls look very happy.
"What a masher..." Agatha said in her mind.
"We brought you something we made ourselves for you to wear later", added another girl.
"Taraaaaa...!" the other girl said as she showed some new pieces of clothing for them to give to Gideon and his friends.
"We hope you'll like them, we made them especially for you to wear on your mission." explained one of the girls.
"Thank you... you are indeed my beautiful and kind angels, we will wear them with pride." Gideon said to the girls.
"Ladies, thank you for all the good you have done, we are indebted for all the help you have given us during our time in Helberg," added Castor.
"Sorry to trouble you, thank you." said Jacob.
"Thank you, sisters, I hope you will meet the good men who will be your destined love as soon as possible." said Agatha.
"Oh, we found him already...", replied one of the village girls with a flowery expression on her face.
The girls turned their eyes to Gideon who seemed to be proud of himself after hearing what Agatha had said to the village girls.
"He's at it again...", Agatha said in her mind while holding back her annoyance at Gideon's behavior.
Victor was silent as if he did not realize that Gideon was that attractive in the eyes of the beautiful girls in his village.
"This is impossible..., he can make those beautiful girls crazy about him..., what an absurd thing...", said Victor in his mind who was astonished and could not understand what he was witnessing.
Meanwhile elsewhere Samantha was in a dungeon of a castle, looking pensive for no apparent reason.
"What are you daydreaming about?", asked Baltus who suddenly appeared behind her.
"None of your business!", Samantha replied in a stern tone.
Shortly after, Samantha turned around and walked away past Baltus, whose figure was still mysterious.
"You're always not feeling well, I can understand that...", Baltus said as Samantha walked past him.
Samantha stopped walking and they both turned their backs to each other, momentarily speechless after hearing Baltus' words.
"You only need to forgive yourself before you can save your heart from loneliness... then you will be able to live your life in peace...", Baltus told Samantha.
"I've been best friends with silence for a very long time, so how could I possibly feel lonely! Besides, I died a long time ago...", Samantha replied before she walked away and left Baltus there.
"Hmmm...?", Baltus muttered as Samantha walked away leaving him in the dungeon.
Meanwhile, in the main room of the castle, Adrian who was sitting relaxing on his throne had apparently been visited by a mysterious guest.
"You're taking too long...!", said the mysterious guest.
"Oh, you are..., take it easy, everything must be thought out and prepared thoroughly before I carry out the main plan...", Adrian replied.
"Hehehehehe..., you are a little doubtful, sooner or later there will be an enemy who comes to thwart all the plans that you are currently preparing in such a way and then destroy your dreams, O noble one...!", said the mysterious guest who hid his figure in a dark corner of the castle room.
"That will never happen...!", argued Adrian while spreading a proud smile.
"Hehehehe..., very funny..., looks like this is going to get more interesting, hope your plan goes well..., little vampire lord!", said the mysterious guest in a seemingly dismissive tone.
"Take it easy..., because I will definitely succeed in realizing my goal of remodeling the world order under Grimdale's power and then creating a new world where vampires and humans again coexist peacefully like before...!", explained Adrian who seemed very optimistic about everything he was planning.
Soon the mysterious guest left, laughing in a tone that sounded strange and creepy as if he already knew what would happen in the future.
"We'll see...", said Adrian while spreading a proud smile.
