Berserk: The Prophet

"?" How did he know?

"Mind your own business! Let go of me, you annoying guy." Gerry was clearly still sulking and tried to pull his hand back.

"I hate... this guy?" Green paused for a moment before releasing his grip on her hand.

"Excuse me, I meant to ask if you'd be interested in getting a closer look at the castle tonight?"

Green asked with anticipation, after all, it was not strange for children in this era to want to get closer to see the castle. During training, groups of children could often be seen admiring the white castle on the hillsides near the city.

"!?"

.........

That night, Green waited for her on the roof of her house as promised.

I ate something on the street today, picked up my armor, and then sent Bazso back first. Gri had spent too much time on the road today, so he wouldn't have been able to see the castle for long anyway. After all, if he went home too late, he would get a beating from Karina. Grimm's suggestion appealed to him, so he obediently went back early to deal with Karina. Sneaking out wasn't just appropriate, it was just too cool!

Gerry wasn't dressed as conspicuously tonight, wearing a gray wool belted top, linen trousers, and ankle boots. Her hair wasn't as messy as usual; it was tied up with a fabric ornament that looked like a blue bow on the elastic band.

Having never seen Goni look like this before, Green's heart pounded wildly. So beautiful!!

Meanwhile, the owner of those phoenix eyes was furtively looking around. Seeing that no one was around, Green imitated the call of a mountain bird, whistling softly to attract Green's attention, and then beckoned.

Gerry immediately ran over. Good heavens, how did this guy climb onto his roof? He did it so effortlessly... Could it be that he hid on the roof when Gerry chased him last time?

What a cunning guy!

Although Gerry cursed Green a hundred times in his mind, his body still went over honestly, after all, he still needed Green's help.

"Give me your hand."

Green stretched his hand out under the eaves and whispered to Gerry, "She's even more beautiful up close! Her clear, light blue eyes are looking at me expectantly!"

Gerry stretched out his right hand, letting Green pull him up. He grabbed the eaves with his left hand, pushed off with his legs, and easily made it up.

"Not bad," Green complimented her.

"Of course, let's go!" Gerry said without any modesty, excitedly preparing for tonight's adventure.

"it is good!"

Green immediately and nimbly grabbed the eaves and swung down, then let go and landed steadily on the ground, clearly someone who had done this many times before.

Not to be outdone, Gerry followed suit and began preparing as well.

"I'll catch you!" Green said from below.

"Hmph, no need, I can do it myself!"

Perhaps provoked by Green's words, the usually calm man slipped on a tile with his left hand as he lowered himself, lost his balance, and fell.

Oh no! I was so careless.

"crash"

The expected pain didn't come. Instead, she fell into a warm and strong embrace. When she opened her eyes, the face she had wanted to beat up day and night was now wearing a warm smile. He wasn't laughing at her, but just looking at her with a gentle smile. It seemed... this face wasn't so infuriating anymore.

She's so light, it's so easy to catch her like this. She's too thin, she should eat more to gain weight.

"Put me down..." Only then did Gerry realize his current position—he was being princess-carried!

Ugh, so embarrassing, especially in front of this guy!! I'm so ashamed! Her face turned bright red with anger; it's all his fault for saying those stupid things!!

"Hehe, be more careful next time." Seeing her face turn red with anger, Green put her down and stroked her hair, which was as silky as he had imagined.

"Ugh, that's enough! You'll stunt your growth!" Gerry slapped his hand away and walked on, looking a little sullen.

"Hhh, let's hurry up, we still need to get you back before we close up camp!" Green grabbed Gerry's hand and expertly led him through the night alleyways.

It really does feel like the guilt of eloping with your loved one on some unknown night!

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

There were few guards at the camp entrance at night. After all, this was not only the White Dragon Knights' camp, but also surrounded by the inner city walls of Windam, plus four gates that required ten people to lift. It looked like a small fortress. Moreover, no one would dare to trespass into the military district of the capital, Windam. Even if someone did, they would be caught and killed.

"We're here to deliver something."

The two gatekeepers glanced at the insignia on Grimm's chest and nodded to let them in. They were just two children, and familiar faces at that. It was normal for knights to have their page boys retrieve things they had left behind, as long as they didn't close the gate too late. Besides, some people might not even come back at night, so they just needed to be back before morning exercise.

So Green easily led Gerry in and they walked into an unguarded stone arrow tower. These arrow towers were just for show, far inferior to the Gothic enclosed arrow towers in the royal castle. After all, no matter how powerful Juda was, he couldn't possibly reach Windam in one fell swoop. They had just been repaired recently and were not needed for the time being, so there was no one guarding them.

However, this is a great place to view the castle. The White Dragon Knights' camp is located below the white royal castle. Looking up at the castle from this flat area is quite spectacular, a sight that children in the city usually cannot see. Although it was getting late, the castle was still brightly lit.

"Bazso, I'll leave you to keep watch down there." Green gave him a look.

“No problem, leave it to me.” Bazzo nodded confidently to Green with a knowing look on his face.

He truly lives up to his reputation as the boss; he managed to lure such a beautiful and hot-tempered young woman out so late at night.

He still remembered the groin kick from last time; that was really ruthless. The boss is really something, able to handle someone with such a fiery temper. He secretly gave Green a thumbs up.

"Let's go up there! We can get a really good view of the castle from up there!"

Gerry was completely oblivious to their subtle movements; his gaze was entirely drawn to the castle, still gleaming in the night, which was already so magnificent even before he had gone up to it.

The royal castle is larger than many noble castles. Judging from the fact that it could accommodate the entire knightly order and the stables that could hold thousands of horses, it covers an area of ​​about 70,000 to 80,000 square meters, which is about 100 acres. It is about seven times the size of the playground where the school used to hold sports meets. Moreover, it is located on a cliff. The height of the castle alone has reached an astonishing 50 meters, a place that even a catapult could not reach.

The castle was still brightly lit, its splendor accentuated by the endless night and the countless campfires beneath the towers.

The castle is already magnificent when viewed from the foot of the city, but observing the entire castle from the open arrow tower is an experience that evokes a sense of awe and grandeur.

"Wow!"

Gerry was utterly stunned. His eyes widened, filled with anticipation and longing, for he had never seen a castle so magnificent and beautiful in the night, especially at such close range!
