The Demon Queen's Knight Vol.2

Secrets

It was still night time when luth decided to be the one to stay awake as a look out as everyone sleep

Of course he didn't do this just because he wanted to, but this is a one of those free time he has to talk with iciel

Iciel's spirit floats around, still connected to the sword with some kind of smoke

"It's seems this little adventure of you have not yet encounter any problem" iciel said with her normal monotone voice

"Well it's the best to have no problem, specially that we have two drunitians with us, good thing that the Aria's actions as the queen give drunitia's people a lot more good reputation than before"

"True, but as we go further this will only become harder for us"

"It will" luth looks at his hand "if anything bad happen ..something that my current self can't do.. I need to rely on that strength.."

"I still don't like that power, so please..do not use it until you really really need it "

"I promise"

It's at this moment luth heard something behind him, he quickly look to see..Aber looking at him and iciel at awe

"... Oh, it seems that our secret has been discovered" said iciel with her monotone voice

Luth puts his hand over her face

"A-a ghost?" Aber said, a lil bit shock at the sight of the transparent iciel

"Aber..calm down, deep breaths.. I'm..uhh.. gonna explain it to you" said luth

Aber would sit down beside luth with iciel still floating around

"S-so is it true?" Aber said

"Huh?" Luth looks at him at him confuse

"T-that you have a sexual relationship with your sword?"

"Auggghh- no.. I don't have that... Who told you that?"

"Miss felyna"

"Goddamit.. also no, iciel and I are onlt friends"

"It is true young Aber... Me and luth are only friends.. besides, he's in a intimate relationship with the queen" again, with iciel's monotone voice

"Just like she sai- hey, you can't just say that to anyone"

"Y-you and the que-!" Before aber can shout luth covers his mouth with his hand

"Shhhh, you'll wake up the others"

"S-sorry"

"Well luth, I think I should go back inside the sword"

"Alright then" iciel then went back in the sword she's connected with

After a bit more explanation about iciel, Aber vows that he will keep iciel and his relationship with the queen to the others

The next day the group stops by a small village, they decided to stop by in the village for a bit, and ask for directions

Aber and Aloandra stayed in the cart with butik the giant lizard, and the dark elf branwen

Branwen is standing beside the lizard as the other two is standing beside the  carriage 

"What did you and Sir luth talk about last night" asked aloandra

Aber tensed up, eyes widen after hearing it, he promised luth to keep it a secret but he didn't think it will be this hard to keep secrets...

"O-oh! I just ask him about stories in his previous missions! Yes! That's it hahaha"

"What about the female voice? I heard one, and I'm pretty sure it's not anyone's of the other girls"

"I-its sir luth, he tries to make a female voice, he says doing something like that is really helpful if you need to disguise yourself" Aber hopes everything he said would make aloandra believe him...

Aloandra stares at him for a bit before smiling "I guess you're right! Changing your voice is really helpful!"

Looks like aloandra believes him which make Aber sigh in relief

The group was then pointed to the next kingdom.. a kingdom where a hero is summoned... The kingdom of Rhaodia
