32.69% The Journey Of The Knights / Chapter 30: Revenge

Chương 30: Revenge

The guard brought him to the town centre and give him 30 whips. Like most occasion, the people watching there just gave him a disgusted look.

People didn't know that he is a powerful noble and he would get even at the one who harm him or his family at the perfect time.

After receiving 30 whips while clenching his fist in the entire process, they brought him to the dungeon once more.

But this time, it's the dungeon at the lower part of the town, worse than the dungeon before. Filled with criminals that did an unforgivable crime, or so he thought.

Covered in sand, tears, blood, sweat, he is put into a cell. There is a person inside the cell that's beside Arden's cell.

He called Arden from his cell and had his back against the wall. Then have some conversation with Arden. Eventually, they got along pretty quickly.

"What is your job kid?" He asked, judging by his sound, he is a little curious about some new criminal's background.

"I'm a baron, but they didn't believe me, I believe my wife will soon send a letter to Aswick, Rakham and Valencio," Arden then smiled, knowing he will be free soon.

"You mean that 3 famous people that ruled the west, north and south province? Awesome, why are you here though?" The old man is surprised, and then asked still a little bit of curiosity in his voice.

"Someone framed me," Arden sighed, the person answered with an "Oh" and start telling the reason he is here.

"I'm a gang leader and there is a gang war once, somehow my enemy got some connection with the judge. They set up a trap for me once telling me that the judge is calling me on behalf of this matter, it has been close to 3 years here I think. Every day I got 15 whips because of that. I will have my revenge, they just need to wait" Arden listened to everything he said and at the end, both of them just sighed.

Arden learnt that the people at this place are mostly because of the unfairness of the judge that made them stayed.

If there is a real criminal but they have some connection with this judge or some power in the city, they would get like 1 day here.

After asking some conclusion, Arden made a conclusion. The people here that are locked up because of the corrupt judge would get 10-40 whips.

But on the first day, Arden got close to 50 Whips, his body is actually covered in blood. After that, the guard didn't even give him food.

Some other people would share their food though, the person inside the cell beside him even offer him all his food once.

Arden politely declines since he knew that person would need to eat first. This continued on for some time.

His patience is almost gone, to the point he almost decided to commit suicide by stabbing himself with a guard's sword next time.

But Arden looks back at his wife, his people and just waited and waited in fear, he made an oath that he will make their life worse than him at this point.

It's almost a month or so and once again, the dungeon door opened, he quickly makes a defensive posture on the ground.

He put his head down and didn't dare to look up, then he heard his self being opened and 1… no, 3 people walked up to him.

He heard their familiar voice, aid has come to him, all the 3 dukes are here. They helped Arden stand up.

Which he couldn't at first, but in tears and effort, his red clothes too, he managed to do it. They slowly helped Arden to walk to the room.

He would be getting treatment and rest on the bed. Get food and other things. Anything he wants would be given to him.

Many kinds of people visited him, not once, not twice, but daily. A group visit, there are the 3 dukes, Goswind, all the nobles he led at war visited him at once.

Valen, Maverick and Austin took care of him, never left him unguarded and always at his side when he needed something.

He knew the three of them to have something to do with this, so he thanked them for everything and they said it's nothing.

"It's not a problem, you are more important" Arden smiled happily after hearing this.

Then he caught word of rumours, the king has personally come here because he heard a war hero basically getting f**ked up by someone that never left their hometown before.

It's almost 1 week at the bed and he is actually pretty good, even though he still got some nightmares from that place.

One day, he is called to keep talking about those people who did harm there. So him in the best clothes, he has right now, went to the keep.

He saw the tension from others. The king himself sat on the throne and the other four dukes standing along the side of it.

"Today, we will discuss how to punish someone that threatens the life of a war hero, an honourable knight that saved us from the recent war and then got treated like a trash by someone that they are the king," the corrupt judge face is as white as a dead person.

"From my point of view, the judge should be fired from his position and then treated like the hero treated when he is framed, everyone agrees?" Everyone shouted "yes"

"No, I think he deserves worse treatment with his associate, there is more case like mine at the dungeon" He shrugged his shoulder and the king just nodded.

"Looks like his crime can't be forgiven, I sentence him to scaphism." Everyone looked at the king shocked, the worst kind of torture one wanted to get if he did some crime.

The people that got this kind of torture would trap the person getting it in 2 boats and pour honey to his/her body and let the insect fester him/her.

The judge and the person that framed Arden turned pale to the point you can only see white at their face.

They tried to say that Arden is the one who started it first, but he didn't give any sh*t to them. Off to torture they go.

They got to a river in the middle of the forest and then watch as 2 people forced to get inside a boat that trapped their body.

And then they pour the honey. Instantly, many types of insects came to fester them and they scream and scream.

It's horrible seeing someone being festered by insects and they can't do anything about it.

By the time the boat came back to the starting point, they are covered in blood and tears, still screaming since the sting lasted.

They got out from the boat and put into the cage, then to the dungeon. They will do this thing for a full month.

And then serve at the dungeon until the end of their life. This is fair considering what they have done to innocents.

All the judge's associate got captured and punished, the dungeon guar, the whipper, the dungeon guard, pretty much everyone involved with his crime and did nothing to it.

All the innocent pretty much got released, including that man, that man actually visited Arden when he was resting on his bed.

That person name is Sam, he is 70 years old but still healthy and strong, he thanked Arden and said he would like to move all his former gang member and himself to Arden's town if he allows, why not?

Arden got to rest and hi journey actually got delayed for many days because of this incident. One day, Arden is called to the keep by the king.

He got to the keep as fast as possible and saw there are all the duke and the king there. The king, like normal occasion, is sitting at the throne.

As soon as Arden walks into the keep, he opened his mouth, indicating he is going to talk.

"Baron of Aselwey, I heard you are on a journey to find your siblings, for that, I give you good luck. This is the first time in history that all the 4 dukes met each other just for one person. You are important to this kingdom, please don't danger yourself, because of this incident. I order you to use your banner on your shirt" Then he called a person to give Arden the banner.

When he opened it, it's almost the same design of the one he has, a gold dragon on the white background. But there are 5 initials, the initials refer to the king and all the dukes that took care of the province.

"Thank you, your majesty," He said then knelt and bow at the same time, holding his new banner at his chest.

In the end, Arden decided not to waste time anymore and go to Tadashima Shogunate as fast as he could.

The very next morning, he, Valen, Maverick and Austin decided to leave the city. After some few goodbyes, they continue their delayed journey.

1 Month and 1 week and 3 days in this city are wasted because of this incident. Arden just looked back and gave a light smile as he became further and further from the city.

Now, they would continue their journey to the Port Town of Gillam


Chương 31: Tadashima Shogunate

It only took them 3 days from the original 10 days using the safe route to go to the Port Town of Gilam, after reaching there, they got accommodation at an inn.

A pretty pleasant inn, with a nice room and breakfast. They put their things there and then went out to search for a ship they could get into.

They searched and searched, with the banner with the initials of 5 powerful people, Arden got a lot of invitation from various people to board the ship.

He politely declines and searched for a better ship, then he saw a fisherman with a pretty nice ship getting bullied on the ground.

He was getting kicked, punched and even thrown rock at. Being a man that didn't enjoy seeing others getting bullied, he sprinted to his aid.

He stopped the bully, and they stopped for a second, with the face of "don't mess with us", then they saw the banner on his chest.

News about the incident that happened at the City of Etria travelled fast, once they recognize Arden, they ran to every direction they could.

Fleeing for their lives in fear of him, Arden approached the poor fisherman and helped him. The fisherman looked like in his 40 with his really brown hair.

"Are you fine? Is there any injury?" Arden checked all corners of his body.

"Yea, I'm fine, seems like no injuries too" He sighed and shrugged his shoulder.

"What happened here?" Arden asked curiously.

"I'm a fisherman and I have a pretty nice ship, it could go travel to another country but their leader has some interest in it. I refused to give it to them when they asked and they send their people to beat me up" He scratched his head because he didn't know what to do anymore.

"Really? I'm looking for a ship that could bring me to Tadashima shogunate. Could I see the ship? I would even pay" Arden asked for more information.

"Yea, come follow me" He then began to walk away and soon, Arden followed him and his party did the same.

They walked for a minute and there he saw a medium-sized ship docked at the dock. He examines it and it sure could go through the sea; the ship is pretty big and could hold 15 people easily, there is even place for horses.

He then turned his attention to the fisherman and asked him.

"Could you bring us to Tadashima Shogunate?" Hoping he said yes.

"Yea, I probably could, I want to bring my family out of this place too. It's not safe here because of them, but I haven't found an enjoyable place for me to settle." He sighed, and the sign of frustration started to show up at his face.

"Ooooh, I'm a baron and I have some lands at the west, we could probably go there using the river route." The fisherman turned to Arden and ask more about it.

Arden told him all about his land and he made a face that he just found the perfect land for his family, safe from thugs and all kinds of that thing.

"By the way, I'm Arden, nice to meet you" The fisherman is surprised hearing this name but manage to calm his self down.

"I'm Ansu, nice to meet you" They shook each other hand.

He promised to take them with his family to Tadashima Shogunate the next morning, with no fee.

Arden thanks him and they left since the day is turning dark. Eventually, they got to the inn and have a pretty good rest after dinner.

The very next morning, they pack their stuff and everything they have and went to the dock. They saw the ship from yesterday with everything ready in it.

But now, there are Ansu's family waiting there, the family comprise Ansu's wife, sons and a daughter. His son is at the age of 15 and 17 and his daughter is at the age of 12.

It's a great family, humble, non-expensive lifestyle and hardworking. Both of Ansu's sons could help at the deck of the ship.

Then they set sail, toward Tadashima Shogunate, Ansu said he has been there once already, it was when he is still young and still as a crew of a merchant ship.

He said it would take 7 days at least based on his experience. On the first and second day, there is some small island, then the third until the sixth, there is nothing.

On the seventh day, there is still nothing as far as their eyes could see, but then, some shore fish started showing up.

Meaning they are soon reaching their destination, 3 hours passed by and at the distance, they could see a mountain, its height reached the cloud.

And then some lands started to show up, in one hour, they reached a port town and docked their ship. They got off the ship and started walking.

They are greeted by the armed force that took them to a local noble since they are seen as foreigners that could do harm to the country.

Once at the local noble residence, they are placed in a room an odd-looking, with some kind of carpet made with straw covering the floor.

And there is some kind of pillow placed for their seat. They sit at some kind of pillow and a man and a lady came inside the room with their strange clothes.

At their late 60, with grey hair and some light beard on the man's face. They sat at it, his designated place, then opened his mouth.

"What brings you to our country" The woman translated everything he said in his language to Arden's language.

"I'm searching for my long lost family" The woman then translated it to him.

He then sighed in relief and they talked for a bit. After some time of talking, Arden asked.

"Do you know any person named Usha, he is a slave trader," Arden asked for information and the woman translated it.

"Usha? Yes, I know about him, he used to come here using ship" The man answered willingly.

Arden asked about Usha and the man told him everything he knows. At the end of the day, Arden is given accommodation in one of his inns.

From the conversation between Arden and his party member with that local noble. He knew that this Port Town name is Kumikita and the most west located city at this kingdom.

Usha is known to move to the Capital City of Kumawara at the east of this Port Town and is quite famous, he is one of the earlier people to move and got accepted by the people.

Most of the time, the foreigner often thought that this land is filled with people that still used stick and stone to fight each other and so they tried to treat them like an animal and proceed to kill and enslave them.

But when they saw the resistance from the kingdom, they got eliminated pretty quickly and the kingdom since then didn't accept people that behave like that.

But Arden is different, he is calm minded, humble and liked to help, judging from his behaviour that is polite during the conversation, the local noble even got along with him.

After a day of resting, Arden and his member proceed to continue their journey to The Capital City of Kumawara.

Ansu and his family said they would wait until his business is done at the town and then stayed at their boat making it as a house.

Along the way, they saw the kingdom itself. The landscape is amazing; the scenery is beautiful. The infrastructure is better than the one in his country.

Even people at the village seem to enjoy their life, not like the one at his kingdom, the villager there works their self from 3 in the morning at the field and then came home at night.

When they need to settle down at one of the town or village, the people were very interested in them, especially the noble class and the warrior class called "samurai"

The warrior class could be called as the knight here and the noble would become samurai. They often got invited from them, and some even asked Arden to spar.

To which he couldn't refuse, he had seen the sword he saw at the blacksmith back at the Town of Edklin many times seen he saw one before.

'Looks like that sword called "Katana" is the most common one used here,' He thought to his self.

Not only that, but Arden saw a lot more various kind of weapon, from yari which is basically spear, naginata that looked like yari but with a different edge.

And a big, giant sword called no-dachi, the biggest kind of sword there. And after 10 days of riding on horseback from Port Town of Kumikita to the Capital City of Kumawara.

Surrounding it, a big and long wall of it protecting it from all sorts of invader and a big castle in the middle of it, located on an elevated ground.

The city compared to Atlan is not worse, perhaps even better. Once they got inside the city there, they got a lot of attention from passerby.

This happened in every town, village and town they visited before, one of the groups of passerby approached them with curiosity.

Katana is hanging at their hips meaning they are from the noble class or samurai class, not to be shocked they are from that class.

At first, they tried talking using their own language and Arden responds as best as he could. He learned a few sentences from the people they met before.

Then one of them start helping translate them, didn't know from where he learned the language and then all of them started talking in the same language as Arden.

Arden is shocked and surprised at first and then curiously and a little bit confused asked them.

"Where did you guys learned this language?" Arden then raised his eyebrow.

"We learned him from Usha" They responded as best as he could.

"Woah, really? Could you take me to him? I have been looking for him" Arden asked, now they have his attention.

"Sure" And they began to talk away.

Not long after walking, he arrived at a medium-sized house, there is a garden in front of it and a tree called "sakura" tree when he learned from the people he met.

They knocked on the door and a woman opened it, for some reason, she looked similar to Arden's sister, could she be the long lost sister of him?
