The Fated Twins

Chapter 33: A Deal for Later

Kim explained the entire situation before coming out of Amiru's residence and looking at the three people behind him. Witira, Paseton, and Toonka. He then made eye contact with Amiru, who was coming out behind them.

She took a look at Kim before sternly speaking to Toonka.

"You must leave by tomorrow. You should be thankful that all you are getting for punishment is being banished from our territory."

Amiru had demanded that Toonka leave her territory by tomorrow. It was because it became blatantly obvious that he was not a fisherman, as well as because he was the cause of the battle.

"The two of you will receive similar punishment if you cause any more issues within my territory."

The Whale siblings bowed toward Amiru with calm expressions. Kim observed the two siblings who were hiding that they were related to the Whale King, before turning his head.

"Young master Kim, you seem to be catching a cold, so please head on inside."

"I will."

Amiru's gaze became sharp as she turned back to look at Toonka.

"You return our generosity with such actions."

Kim gently started to speak.

"That is why you are banishing him."

Toonka's banishment. That was what Kim had told Amiru to do.

"Young master Kim, you really..."

Amiru had heard from Paseton about how Kim had saved his life, as well as how Kim had no fault but ended up getting dragged into the mess.

"Young lady Amiru, it was not much."

Kim had a gentle expression on his face. Amiru turned Cale was leaning against the building with a nonchalant expression.

-Didn't you ask me if I could defeat that crazy guy?

As usual, Kim ignored Raon.

After telling Amiru multiple times that he was okay, Kim turned his gaze toward Toonka. Toonka had been staring at Kim as well. Toonka had a blank expression for a while now, no, it was more of a complicated expression.

Ancient power.

It was the only type of power that the non-mages, who focused on physical strength, accepted as strength. It was because they considered it a blessing for someone's power to be passed down through generations.

Kim was looking at Toonka with no specific emotion.

He was a crazy bastard who ended up becoming a hero, but also showed signs of self-destruction in volume 5.

The Whales approached Kim, and Witira cautiously asked.

"Is it really okay for us to go with you?"

"It's not like you have somewhere to go. I can give you a place to stay for a night."

Kim got on the carriage and ordered the Whale siblings to follow. He then closed the carriage door and started to think.

At least Toonka will be going back to the Whipper Kingdom.

Kim, no, Kim Rok Soo's style was to not create a deep relationship with someone he could not communicate with. This was different than avoiding someone because things could get complicated.

Cale looked at Kim silently. He could sense that Kim had created a barrier between him and those around him after losing the last people who were close to him. Cale recognized that Kim was still struggling to accept people into his heart. So far he believes he's only accepted himself and the children. He could tell that the children would become a big part in helping Kim open up his heart to people again though he was determined to help him out.
