Swordmaster’s Youngest Son

ful cry couldn’t escape from his mouth, as if his throat were blocked by something.
All he could do was rack his brains and figure out where everything had gone wrong as throbbing tears ran down his face.

No one else was in the hallway.

They had chosen this location specifically to harass Jin, but the Tona twins could never have imagined that their decision would come back to bite them.

“About that pitiful bird you two trampled to death, I gave it a proper burial.”

Thud, thud, thwack.

Jin continued straddling the two unconscious twins and swung his fists as he spoke in a monotonous voice.

‘Am I going too far? They are technically still kids.’

A sudden hesitation came over him, but ended up disappearing as quickly as it had come.
The previous versions of the 9-year-old Tona brothers were far worse than the current him.
They even made him swallow horse shit.

If Jin were to hold back today, the twins would most likely try to commit similar acts again.

“Phew.”

Twitch, twitch!

After a long beating, the bodies of the two unconscious twins began convulsing.
Their youngest brother finally stood up and looked down on them indifferently.

“You two better do your best not to catch my attention from now on.
As long as you want to live, that is.”

“Young master!”

Having sensed the unusual atmosphere in the castle, a knight in charge of their protection came running down the hallway.

He was a top-class guardian knight, and normally wouldn’t have been shocked by a fistfight between kids, even if they were from the Runcandel Clan.

However, even he couldn’t help but stare in disbelief at Jin who was looking down indifferently towards the unconscious twins lying on the ground.

‘The 7-year-old young master pummelled his older brothers?’

He couldn’t believe it.
Normally, there should’ve been a large difference in physique between a 7-year-old and a 9-year-old.
Moreover, the Tona twins had been learning the Runcandel Martial Arts recently.

On the other hand, Jin had yet to start learning martial arts.
In fact, he hadn’t begun to learn anything at all.
At least, that’s what the guardian knight had been told.

“Uuugh.”

“Young Master Jin, what just…”

The knight asked him as Daytona let out a barely audible moan.

“They started fighting each other out of nowhere.”

“Excuse me?”

“They fought each other.”

The knight realized immediately that Jin was lying, but he couldn’t pursue the matter anymore.
He could see Jin smirking, as if everything had gone according to his plan.

While the guardian knight’s duty was to protect the children, he was still an outsider to this family.
He was not in a position where he could argue with the young masters of the Storm Castle.

‘I already knew that the children of the Runcandel Clan were violent and brutal, but this just confirms my beliefs… I should just report to the patriarch and stay out of this.’

The knight courteously bowed to Jin.
He may be a 7-year-old, but he was still a bona fide Runcandel by blood.

“I understand.
Then I shall take the Tona young masters to the doctor.”

“No need.
There’s somewhere else my brothers need to go.”

“Somewhere else? Where is that?”

“The grave.”

“The… grave?”

“Carry them for me.”

As the light in Jin’s eyes changed, the knight had no choice but to pick up the unconscious boys on his shoulders.

“Let’s go.”

He awkwardly followed the young boy before him.
Jin was headed towards the small mound in the Storm Castle’s backyard, where a heavy rainstorm was crashing down.

It was the bird’s grave.
The bird the Tona twins had killed.

The small mound hadn’t been destroyed by the downpour yet.

“Put them down.”

“But Young Master, the storm…”

The fierce rainstorm was about to swallow up the knight and Jin, not to mention the two unconscious boys.

Jin didn’t reply and merely stared at him dead in the eye.

The knight soon realized that it was a command.
He could see it from Jin’s attitude.
It was the attitude of a Runcandel who was giving a serious order.

He could never have imagined that a 7-year-old could have such an imposing and kingly aura.

The knight had no right to refuse.
Even if the command would harm another Runcandel, he still couldn’t refuse it.
In the first place, the Tona twins weren’t awake to order him to refuse right now.

All he could do was follow the command of the Runcandel before him.

It wasn’t up to him to consider the consequences of these orders, it was up to the patriarch and the elders.
Even if the Tona twins were to die of hypothermia, the Runcandel Clan wouldn’t put the blame on the knight.

Familial disputes and quarrels were common within the clan.

“I shall comply, Young Master.”

He put the twins down in front of the grave.
The two boys were still motionless, except for a few occasional twitches.

The Tona twins were rescued two hours later by Gilly, who was returning from her outing.

The two of them had acute pneumonia for a few days, and didn’t dare to look Jin in the eyes until the day they left the Storm Castle.

The continent’s eastern region, the unprotected area.
Also known as the Black Sea.

Cyron had been meditating in this monster-infested land for a few days now.

He was merely sitting on the ground, but the nearby monsters wouldn’t dare approach him, even the ones the size of buildings.

Soon, a man covered in the blood of countless monsters walked towards Cyron.

“Greetings to the patriarch.
This is Khan.”

It was the guardian knight who had obeyed Jin’s orders and left the Tona twins out in the rainstorm ten days ago.

“Is something the matter?”

Cyron asked as he carefully opened his eyes.

“I have come to report about a dispute between the young masters at the Storm Castle.”

“There’s no way you’d disturb my training just because of a dispute between children.
Speak freely.”

Khan explained the details of the incident, and a smile grew on Cyron’s face.

“So, did the twins die?”

“They did get acute pneumonia, but their lives aren’t in danger.”

“Then they must’ve learnt an important lesson.
I see.
You may return.”

“Understood.”

Khan had desperately struggled against countless monsters for three whole days just to make this short report, but he didn’t hold any resentment against the patriarch or the young master.
He silently returned to the direction of the Storm Castle.

‘I should go see the youngest for myself.’

And so, Cyron made an appearance at the Storm Castle one month later.
