Berserk: The Prophet

.........

"Oh my God, how could this happen?"

"My master died here! Your family must give us an explanation!"

"What happened...?"

Early in the morning, the entrance to the brothel was packed with people, some demanding an explanation, others just there to watch the spectacle.

"Tap Tap"

Two groups of people walked down the street. One was the security patrol of Wyndam City, and the other group looked tall and imposing, wearing armor. It seemed that the incident had alarmed the White Tiger Knights.

"Damn it?!"

The leader appeared to be Ted Wood, the commander of the White Tiger Knights. Upon seeing the report from his subordinate, he immediately slapped the guard standing next to Oka across the face.

When they arrived at the place and discovered it was a brothel, Tedwood's face turned black. For a noble knight to come to such a lowly place to solicit prostitutes was bad enough, but to die there was utter disgrace to the White Tiger Knights!

Ted Wood pushed aside the thugs on both sides, and no one dared to stop him. With a dark face, he led the army doctor to check on Oka's condition.

In a dilapidated shack, two naked women shivered under a tattered sheet. Their bodies bore bruises and swellings. Last night, they had slept soundly when they carried him back, expecting a night with little work. They had just finished serving Oka and were about to rest when, for some unknown reason, Oka suddenly went berserk and brutally abused them, continuing until dawn. Afterward, Oka collapsed on the bed, convulsing, and died instantly!

Both women were terrified. Despite the physical pain, the person who had died on the bed was Oka, the vice-commander of the White Tiger Knights! They were very likely to be killed by the White Tiger Knights in revenge!

The military doctor briefly examined Oka's physical condition and could tell what was wrong just by looking at his genitals; it was clearly due to excessive indulgence.

"It was a sudden stroke, sir."

“............” Ted Wood’s face darkened. Such a rare lieutenant had died in such an outrageous way. It was too shameful!!

"You've really disappointed me, Oka. It's a shame... I have to clean up this mess for you." Tedwood turned and left the room. He couldn't stand staying in such a place that nobles despised for even a moment longer.

"Has word spread that Oka died here?"

Ted Wood asked the people around him why it was so noisy outside. Wasn't he supposed to report it to him immediately?

"No, my lord."

"What's all the noise outside?!" Tedwood seemed a little agitated, because this matter would have a significant impact on the White Tiger Knights.

"It seems that a mercenary centurion from the White Dragon Knights has run into trouble. His name is Odru, and he was stabbed through the neck by a page from this brothel."

"...Take me to see it."

..........

"..."

Looking at the crime scene, Ted Wood fell into deep thought. Even if a battle-hardened centurion was drunk, he wouldn't be killed by a little girl, let alone a little girl who was already in such a state and dead. However, judging from the texture of the bodies, the two died around the same time.

In other words, although the probability is very small, it is still possible, and the scene was handled very well. Even if it was murder, we can only admit that the person's assassination skills were superb.

Two lives lost in a single day is hard not to raise eyebrows.

"Tell me everything that happened yesterday in detail later."

"Go and block the news. Do the proprietress here a favor and say that the White Tiger Knights don't intend to pursue this matter. But if even a whisper of it gets out, her brothel will have to close down."

"Let's make a bigger scene about Odru's death, and drag his mercenary group into it too. Seriously... what is Yuris thinking? How can these lowly, pedophile guys be fit to stay in Wyndam? Their mercenary group has no reason to continue existing."

After saying these words, Ted Wood left, as he had to rush to Yuri's wedding that day.

............

Because it was Euryth's wedding celebration today, the matter was quickly suppressed.

The wedding was held in the early morning. The streets had been cleaned and were very tidy. Yuri, dressed in a noble groom's suit, rode ahead on a tall white horse. On either side of him were a group of neatly dressed servants who guarded him. The streets were already full of people, scattering flowers and petals that belonged to this season, offering their blessings to the couple.

The group slowly made their way through the cobblestone streets to the Midland Cathedral, where the Hoss family's magnificent carriage was already waiting. They were just waiting for the groom to dismount, take the beautiful bride with him, and together they would enter the cathedral to receive the bishop's witness, prayers, blessings, and the exchange of rings.

Yuris's eyes were filled with pride, for he was proud to marry the noblest and most beautiful woman in Wyndam.

It's just a matter of how much she differs from the former queen, whose gentleness and elegance were renowned throughout Midland.

That was a woman for whom even the king willingly fell for her despite everyone's opposition, even though her father had betrayed Midland.

............

Although the scene inside the church can no longer be seen, it is enough for the people of Wyndam to imagine the beauty inside, because the bride and groom were such a perfect match.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the children returned to the streets to play.

Only a child with long, silver-white hair remained standing there, gazing.

Is this what marriage is?

"Hehe, Gerry, what are you daydreaming about? Come and play with me! How about you dress up as a knight and come marry me today?" Anne wore a beautiful dress today.

“Annie…” Pani looked somewhat disappointed.

"I... I still have things to do at home."

Gerry hesitated for a moment, seemingly losing interest in the usual knight-playing games. His mother had seemed very angry last night, and he had even sneaked out this morning, so it would be better to go back quickly.

"I'm sorry..." Seeing Annie's somewhat disappointed expression, Gerry could only apologize and then quickly ran home.

............

Meanwhile, Gerry's elderly mother had been waiting at home for some time with a feather duster.

The moment he stepped into the room, he turned around and saw his mother hiding behind the door, closing it and holding a feather duster, looking fierce and menacing. Gerry was so frightened that he trembled.

Then came the chaotic scene, but unfortunately the house was only so big, and they were caught and given a beating before they got very far.

"Didn't I tell you not to go out? I clearly told you that something big was going to happen soon and you shouldn't wander around!"

"You even ran into the front hall yesterday! Serves you right for being disobedient! Serves you right for being disobedient!"

"Crackling"

"Waaah, I know I was wrong, waaaah!!!" Her fair and tender bottom was beaten bright red by the feather duster.

At this time, Gerry, who was still a child, experienced a very complete childhood.

Women, sometimes, really are terrifying creatures...
