-" Indeed, you who lack politeness...how can you speak to a knight in this way?!" 

The girl murmured:

-" Knight ?".

The boy replied sarcastically:

"Yes. This man gave me a knighthood."

Everyone smiled at those funny words, and stared at the two men who were standing in front of the entrance, warily. The girl said:

"Please, gentlemen." She pointed to the seats. And she continued:

"As for you, sir, I'm sorry. But. I don't think the chair can handle your large size."

Hicros raised his muscular hand.

"Don't worry girl, I'll stand up."

 She said :

"Oh, what a beautiful voice." Hicros said nothing and stood beside LINIAS , who was sitting on one of the benches, squeaking loudly, as if the seat was crying out in pain.

 The girl sat down to meet him and said:

- "I haven't seen you before, gentlemen? Will you tell me the reason for this happy visit?"

 LINIAS said :

-"I only came here about ten days ago, so I want some answers about this place...and of course I will reward you with whatever you wish."

"Maybe he make you a knight or give you a sceptre?" And the boy giggled after those words.

  She said :

-"He's a kid and he doesn't know what to say.. I will answer what you want, we have nothing to do anyway. So what do you want?"

"I was serious about the reward, and I wasn't kidding."

She said :

-"No, thank you...they are just words we utter, and you don't need to reward me for that."

 "Are you responsible for this place?"

She said :

"No. It's that. I mean this guy called Melion . " She pointed to a muscular man, with blond hair, carrying a long iron sword on his back. He was leaning against the wall and staring at them sharply. Four horns were protruding from the side of his head.

The girl continued to say confidently:

"But sir, if you are thinking of attacking him, I do not advise you to do so.. I honestly don't want your pretty face to be disfigured. But, I don't think you will, do you?" LINIAS did not understand the reason for those words.

Suddenly..

Fa.. hahahahahaha!!. Hicros burst into laughter until his breath stopped. He turned to LINIAS with teary eyes and said : 

"Ignorance is truly a blessing, ignorance is truly a blessing! "And he burst out laughing again.

Annoyed, the girl said:

"Those are my words, giant."

Hicros wiped his tears with the palm of his hand.

"It's fortunate for you that I am here. If someone else was standing here, your head would fly out of place in an instant, girl."

LINIAS said :

-"Okay. Let's get out of this talk, only fools who get upset about these things. Also, Mr. Melion seems strong, so let's get rid of this nonsense, Hicros."

Hicros burst out laughing again at those words.

The girl said:

-"This friend of yours is really annoying. He lacks politeness."

LINIAS said :

"His laugh is annoying. But, girl, he's not lacking in politeness. I think you're the one who's rude."

- "What? What are you saying?!"

LINIAS said coldly:

- "Did these words bother you, then don't throw them at others.. Self-confidence is good, but vanity is a disaster..."

 She said :

"You seem to get it quite another way, sir. I didn't mean it at all... I've never been arrogant, it's just that some people come in here, and they ask about the leader of this place. And then they try to kill him. So I said." You. Don't try to do that so you don't get injured." LINIAS turned to Hicros:

" Hicros. Stop laughing. You're really annoying." Turning to the girl, he said: 

- "Why do they do that? Are they residents of this land?"

She said :

-"No. They look like humans, but their shapes are strange, as if they wear human skins on their bodies."

LINIAS looked at the table, scratched its surface with his fingernails, making an annoying sound.

- " Transformers". 

She said :

"Transformers? Is that what they are called? Do you know them, sir?" .

-"Yes. Transformers are creatures that wear the skins of their victims. Originally, they are ghostly creatures that use magic. They are conjured and created by means of black magic, necromancy. Or demons . They wear the skins of their killers, to gain the victim's physical strength.. They are troublesome creatures. ".

She said with interest:

 "Ummm. That's why when we kill them there is nothing left but their skins. So you are not one of them, sir?"

LINIAS said , looking at the people around him:

"That's why you hold your weapons and look at me like that.. I thought you were doing this for something else." And he smiled and said:

"But girl, does my face look so disfigured?"

She said with a shy face:

"No. Excuse me, you are a handsome man. I have never seen a man of such handsomeness but Mr. Sirius , but caution is a duty, sir."

- " Sirius of the castle of Vintos? ".

She said, starting to feel uncomfortable . 

"It's him. Have you seen him before, sir? Or perhaps you know him?"

-" what do you think about it?". LINIAS wanted to know the impression Sirius made on her, for it was important from the perspective of the people, and how they saw their rulers. But the girl answered differently than he wanted. 

So you won't answer my question, you scammer. The girl thought about these words and said:

-" I've only seen it twice, and it was a coincidence. Also.. I can't talk about it. But my opinion as a girl I can tell you." 

"I would be grateful if you did."

She said :

-"No. You don't need to thank me for that.. It's just the opinion of a foolish girl. Frankly he was charming. Beautiful. He walked calmly with his graceful body, as if he was thinking of many things. He gave the impression that he was tender with feelings. Like princes in beautiful stories. But... as soon as his eyes meet With your eyes, until you start shivering and shivering for no reason. It's like your body is screaming for you to run. It's a really strange contrast."

Her talk was of no use to LINIAS , so he said:

"You are of Ronia's race? Most of the people in this place are like you." 

She said :

-" This is correct". She caressed her horns and continued saying:

-"We have horns sticking out from the sides of our heads. Or perhaps it is the reason for our misery in this case. As you can see, we women have horns on the right side and men on the left side.The more the person grows. He grew a new horn, until he was fully grown and had four horns."

LINIAS looked at the boy. He had one horn on the side of his head and said:

- "But what about the horns that protrude from behind the head.. They are of the same race as you, aren't they?"

She said :

-"That's right. Some are born with a horn sticking out from the back of their head. But. This is very rare. For some reason, they die within a year of being born."

"But I saw an adult with two horns behind his head?"

She said, her face shining with happiness and her cheeks flushed : 

'This is much rarer, and I have never heard, nor seen in all my life, of this but here, you must mean Mrs. Entus. Ah. You are so fortunate, Mr.. I would like to see her again. How beautiful. Indeed. I fell in love with her.'

LINIAS froze at the last word. Even Hicros was looking troubled.

She said :

"Hmm. Why are you looking at me like that?" For a moment, her face turned red, and she said in confusion:

-"No.NO NO!. That's not what I meant. You got it wrong. I mean I liked her personality and her beauty. Not like a woman loves a man..You men are funny because you understand strange things."

"Maybe sick sheep." The girl , LINIAS , looked funny and muttered:

"Sheep? Sick? What do you mean?

LINIAS rubbed his brow, embarrassed by his words. That is why he answered her previous words:

" Entus. That's right. She's beautiful." 

The girl got up, banged her hands on the table, his words pissed her off:

" It's beautiful?. It's beautiful? Thus only? You It seems you do not see well .. That beauty will cause madness for everyone who sees. But will make them lose their minds. They will pay their lives to see that long silky poetry as night, and So face white as milk. That's the dress. Oh !. I loved that black dress." 

"Well. She's beautiful, I don't deny it. Will you sit down?" The girl felt ashamed of her behavior like this, and the man in front of her calmed down. She coughed and sat up again.

  Is ENTUS like her favorite star? Poor this girl, how if you know that Entus is crazy. She will surely lose her image. Or maybe not, she also looks crazy, maybe it's an infection just by looking or maybe all women are crazy. Come to think of it, I've never met a normal woman.

Even in that world, they looked at me as if I were a cadaver...so they are all crazy. That is why no one was able to answer the question. What do women want?

Certainly no one will know, even if they do not know what they want..Does the madman know what he wants? Mmm. Have you discovered one of the secrets of life? No. It must be an Professor infection...

"Is there something?" she said shyly.

"No, there is nothing." He pointed to Hicros and said:

" Do you know him?" 

She said :

" No, I haven't seen him before." 

"No, I don't mean that...I mean, you said he was a giant."

The girl replied with a bright smile:

-" Uh, of course I know a few things about his race. Giants have incredible sizes. But, giants of ancient blood are as small as this gentleman." 

LINIAS ' eyes widened in astonishment. He said, looking at Hicros:

- " I didn't know anything about that... Did you know?" 

Hicros replied :

- "No. This is of no concern to me anyway."

LINIAS said to the girl with admiration:

"You seem to know a lot about this stuff."

'Only a little. Not much. But. I have a question, which is ringing in my head now, will you permit, sir?'   

"Sure, please ask."

She said :

'At first, I thought it was some kind of illusion that I heard about, but now...I don't think anyone could come here, except Mr. Angus and Mrs. Celine. But you are from the magical castle, Castle of Vintos ? "

LINIAS felt himself caught, thinking that everyone was preparing to throw shoes, stones, and rotten vegetables at him, and the girl might spit in his face from his answer. Nevertheless, he answered calmly:

- "It's true we are of them." The girl became tense, and everyone in the place had been listening from the beginning.

She said, feeling suffocated.

“Then who are you, sir?” LINIAS was upset by the change in her style of words.

  LINIAS said:

"Don't worry about anything. I'm no more important person than this Hicros ." He pointed at him with his finger.

She said :

"No. I don't think so. So... please tell me, what are you, sir? I mean, gentlemen." 

LINIAS stared straight into the girl's eye, tapping on the table with his finger. tack. tack. tack.

- "I do not know the reason for the change in the course of the conversation, and your anxious interest in this matter. However, if I tell you that I am the ruler of that castle... what do you say?"

The girl smiled bitterly and said:

-" I will never believe it.. Sorry, what you are saying is ridiculous." LINIAS returns to the back in amazement. Even Hicros stared at her with wide eyes. 

LINIAS said :

" Silly? Why? I really don't understand?" 

The girl took a deep breath as she thought she was being tested:

-"Because the Grand Master himself can't come here..that's how great kings are. Also, I know he's not in the castle..he's on a journey in search of ancient magic. I'm sorry..it can't be someone like you. A very great person."

Hicros was smiling, and LINIAS was blinking nonstop, as if his mind had frozen.

"What's wrong with you, sir? Did I do something wrong?" She said worriedly.

Then LINIAS let out a strong exhale , and he began to feel a headache. He said:

-" Yes, you erred. Do not glorify anyone, and do not make anyone greater than the other. Take one look at each person without discrimination, of course with respect for each person. Otherwise, we will become animals. Also. Who told you these words?. How did you know the word of the Great Master ?" . 

The girl, and everyone around her paled at those words, no one from the castle could utter them or belittle their ruler himself. They all thought about that, and they all got up from their seats. And they threw LINIAS angry eyes. 

 Melion said he clutching his sword:

" Who are you? I don't think you are from the castle. No one can say that about his master.. So... you are a spy, an intruder, trying to gather information about our land. You have taken the boldness, to underestimate the value of our ruler, who has bestowed upon us freedom on this land. "The girl jumped out of her seat incredibly quickly and stood among the group. But to LINIAS the girl was slow as a snail.

-"Really.. honesty is no longer important anywhere.. I have not blessed you with anything.. you live on its land as I live in it now. It was not for me anyway. So, keep that in mind."

 "What is this shit?!" A disgusted shriek came from the entrance. A loud noise followed. And the voice continued:

- "What is this shit?! Uh! My shoes. Ua.. Disgusting!"

 Everyone turned to that voice, to appear from the gate. An incredibly beautiful woman, she was incredibly beautiful. Entus was standing
