THAT DAY I BECAME A STAR

After Lanuvel's official apology, she and Farner went outside to find some food. I am all alone now. I remove the sheets and check my body. There is a scar on my leg. It seems they didn't manage to heal it fully It's not really surprising since I completely sliced it offAside from that, there are one or two round scars on both of my legs and arms as well as my stomach. They must be from the Longinus's arrows. I get out of the bed and remove the white clothes on me when the door of the room I am in opens.

"Hey, Kevin. They have bananas at the…KYAA!!!"

Farner screams as she sees me with only my pants on. Then the door opens more with a loud noise as Lanuvel pushes it with her foot and enters in panic.

"What is it!....Ah..." Unlike Farner who is hiding her face away, she looks at me with a red face but doesn't stop.

"You should get dressed."

"Right."

I dress back up under Lanuvel's watch then sit on the bed.

"Is he finished?" Farner has not only hidden her face but even turned around while I was changing.

"Yes, I am finished." She turns around and places her heart on her chest.

"Fuuu…"

"You are quite shy for somebody who acts so carefree."

"You are just too perverted."

"Of course. Can I have the bananas?"

She launches one banana at me. I catch it and open the thing. It is indeed ripped and looks delicious.

"Thanks."

"You are welcome."

"Oh yes. How is K'nor?"

"He is fine. He was just a bit sad but we managed to occupy him enough."

"I see."

***

During the night, Farner and Lanuvel were quite adamant about staying with me but I managed to chase them away. After they are gone, I sit on the bed, and after fully checking my body, I release my aura.

"Woah!" Cissa was right. The flow of my Angas inside my body, I can feel it. From the tips of my toes and fingers to my arms and legs then through my head and through my chest then it goes back the same way. Even the way it coils around my body is way more organized than before.

"This is…This is incredible." The way my aura is released, the way my body feels lighter, stronger…it is really marvelous.

"Let's just sleep. Tomorrow might be a pain in the ass."

***

The next day, before the sun is up, ten people come and enter my room like they own the place. Without knocking or anything, they just all enter, William at the head of the line.

"You are coming with us."

"You are one rude bastard. Don't you know how to greet people?"

William approaches me and with a swift movement, drags me out of my bed and pins me down on the floor. This guy!!

"Don't struggle, or I will break your arm."

"You would do it anyway, so..." I try to move but William attaches my arms with chains and lifts me up. Those chains don't work like the previous ones, it seems. I don't feel any change in my Angas.

"You better keep your filthy mouth shut in front of the council."

"Or else what?"

"You will see for yourself."

Should I start fighting him here? No, let's see where this will go first.

We walk out of my room. There is a corridor outside with windows on the other wall aligned in both directions of it. We go to the left and walk under the last light of the stars and the moon.

Three minutes and one floor later, we reach another door. That door is made of stone?

"Really?"

"Silence."

William knocks my head from behind. Ah… this guy. I kick him as well, making him back away a bit.

"You!!"

"Yeah, yeah. " The other knights come and restrain me. They hold me at every possible angle as if they are trying to put on the floor again. Though they don't manage to.

Soory guys, I just let him do what he wanted earlier, it's not that you are weak. Though, yeah...

"You guys are weak."

"Bastard!"

One of them raises his hand but the stone door opens from the center even though there are no handles on it. As they open, I am pushed inside and in front of me, I see a podium with seven chairs heavily decorated and clearly distinct by their colors. From left to right, their colors change like those of a rainbow. At the center of the room, a sort of table, too high to sit in front of it but low enough to support your body.

William and his group bring me to it and tie both of my feet on each part of the table. Then, the sound of a door opening brings our attention to the sort of podium, which is ten meters high. I see people entering and sitting on the chairs. Finally, Rebecca enters and sits on the fourth chair from the left, followed by a man with an immaculate white robe and a hat in a triangle shape who sits at the center.

"Okay, let us start."

***

"So, let's see." The guy at the center with the weird hat takes a bunch of papers from his chair and reads them silently for a minute or two. His eyes moving from left to right very quickly. Then he puts back the papers and looks at me.

"Kevin Dragonroad. I see here that you are suspected of cooperating with the Longinus."

"Eh?" They are not judging me because I told Rebecca to go to hell? I look at her but she just frowns and looks away.

"Are you surprised?"

"Hm…A little."

"Just a little? Does that mean you recognized the accusation?"

"No, I obviously don't. Just that I thought I was here for a different reason."

"Oh…And what could be that other reason."

"It's nothing. Nothing important at least."
