fake friendship

the both guards left with their horses. "faster!" the men said as they rode through the woods. the blacksmith lived far from palace, they had to stop to drink from The beautiful spring in the woods. "so, which part of joseng kingdom are you from?" Kim asked Bruno. Bruno had no answer to give because he is not from joseng. he is a hired assassin, but his mission time hasn't reached yet. " I don't really know, I didn't grow up here. my parents died while I was two and I was raised by my aunt who lived in the neighbouring kingdom" Bruno lied as he faked sad emotions. Kim felt sorry for him. "so how did you become the king's personal guard?" Kim became more curious. " I'm sorry, I think we should continue our journey" Bruno said as he climbed his horse. Kim noticed the sudden changes in his face. Kim climbed his horse and rode after him. " something is not right about this guy, I'll get to find out more" Kim said inside him.

they finally got their destination. the blacksmith live close to border between the neighbouring kingdom. "Good day gentlemen" said the blacksmith as they entered his territory. they exchanged greetings and they were properly welcomed after the blacksmith learned they were sent by the King. "so where are your best swords" asked Kim. " inside the inner bulk room, make your choice" said the blacksmith. they both entered as directed. "what do you think about this one?" Bruno said raising one of the swords. " that looks great, but I think that one on the other end is better" Kim answered as walked to the other side of the room to check out the sword. " this is it" Kim said nodding. " grab a sword and meet me outside" Kim said to Bruno. Bruno smiled tutting. The both men took positions. "defend yourself!" Kim shouted as he came after Bruno. "cling cling!" their swords sounded as they clashed. the young men showed their skills for five minutes. "enough!" Bruno yelled. "your skills are pretty nice" Kim said to Bruno. " since you have made your choice of sword, I think we should be heading back to the palace" Bruno Said . the young men got their horses ready and prepared for returning. " extend my greetings to the king" the blacksmith said as they bid farewell to each other.

as the young men rode back through the woods, they heard a hush sound. " slow down Bruno, can you hear that?" Kim asked. " we are not stopping, it is nothing" Bruno responded. Kim spirit was greatly disturbed as he heard a woman's voice wailing from distance, he was forced to stop. Bruno didn't bother stopping, he left Kim behind. Kim traced the direction the voice was coming from. as he approached closer, he saw three men trying to kill an elderly woman. "stop!" Kim shouted. the men stop and turned to Kim. "she's a witch and she must die" they said. " I said stop! if she must die, you have to go through me" Kim said to them chuckling. they came after Kim and he fought them off. " you are safe now, go" Kim said to old woman. "thank you" she said kissing Kim's boots. Kim took off.
