Maehwa Tree- Tower of god/TOG

¹⁰Betrayal is Unforgivable

"What?" Ianna was a bit confused.

"I'm asking if we could be friends. I mean we technically are, aren't we?" Shibisu asked along with Hatz right behind him.

"So your asking me to be friends with you?" Khun questioned him with a man observing gaze.

"Yeah. I heard you like making friends." Shibisu said.

"Who said that?"

"The croc did!"

"That jerk... but you guys were on the green lizards team weren't you?"

"Never mind that Khun. Anaak isn't a bad child." Ianna cut in. "I agree her actions weren't good but she's already apologised to me so I've already forgiven her."

Khun was conflicted now.

"If that is not enough for you. I also apologise on her behalf. I also believe her actions conflicted the spirit of swordsmanship. And the teams were disbanded after the game so we have nothing to do with her."

"Ha...so now that she's not on your team anymore, you have nothing to do with her now? Is that your swordsmanship way? To throw away someone who was once your teammate?" Khun retorted hatz words.

Khun's argument with Hatz made Ianna recall a few bad memories that she desperately tried to bury in her mind.

As the two kept arguing. Shibisu tried separating them and suggested getting to know each other.

"Alright. My names Khun. Khun Aguero Agnes. I'm from the Khun Family, one of the ten great families. So unlike you guys, I'm of noble birth."

Ianna wanted to butt in. "But aren't you dis-

"Ianna. Not now."

Sheesh. Petty much.

"Your introduction was as useless as those earrings of yours. We asked for you not your family."

"ARGH JERK! WHATS IT TO YOU IF I WEAR EARRINGS?! THIS IS POPULAR ON MY FLOOR! BESIDES! IANNA'S WEARING EARRINGS ANYWAY!"

"Yeah. These are keepsakes. I wear them in memory of my saviour. Are you looking down on their life?"

"Ah...that's... not it. I apologise if I offended you."

"I'll let it go I guess. The names Ianna Maehwa. Call me Ianna. I have a few goals I want to accomplish. But if you wish to be my friend. My one rule is to never betray my friendship."

Khun was interested in my so called goals but I ignored his gaze.

"I see. That's a respectful moral. I promise that if I betray your feelings, you may do whatever you want with me."

I signed his paper and Shibisu's too since he begged and got on his knees.

Khun still seemed mad.

"I'll be your friend!" Baam was behind us now.

"There isn't much about me. I didn't have a family...or a house. The only thing I had was a piece of cloth to wear. So I thought I'd die there doing nothing and all alone but now, I have friends so thanks."

Ianna almost seemed to burst into tears hearing about his past. Did Arlene and V not make it...? But if they didnt...then Baam wouldn't be alive...So...which one is it? Are they alive are are they dead?

Ianna hugged Bam while whispering into his ear.
"I'm sorry that I failed..."

Khun finally signed their piece of crap after hearing Bam's sob story.
