From this way and that, Kim Yu-Rin began studying the treasure chest covered in black sheet. No matter which direction she observed it from, she was certain of the fact that the powerful aura oozing out of the box was definitely ing off from a bona fide treasure hidden within.
Finally~, I'm going to be the second person in here ever to own a Treasure-grade weapon…
As she basked in the feeling of an endless contentment, suddenly the sword hanging by her hips entered into her thought process.
This high-ranked sword had been by her side for a very, very long time - the 'White Night'.
It was a reward bestowed unto her by the Raven Order when she became the youngest upper Mid Tier Knight in the history many years ago. She survived many deadly crises since then with it by her side, and saved just as many lives along the way as well.
In other words, this sword truly had a priceless sentimental value to her, the one that shared her history of sweat, blood and tears, as well as all those good and bad memories she experienced as a Knight.
'…I'm sure you'll prefer to spend the rest of your days in fort inside a good museum.'
She slowly patted her white sword and swallowed her saliva down, feeling the plicated emotions sweep over her. All those days she'd been fighting with the White Night in hand flashed by her mind like a roll of a film.
"Oh, oh. He's here."
A man stepped on to the stage while Kim Yu-Rin was busy sorting through her mixed feelings that was born out of her separation from the White Night.
That man was naturally Kim Sae-Jin, wearing a smart suit that looked expensive but not too extrovert and eye-catching.
Several ladies - Knights, no less - in the audience began blushing noticeably at his entrance, while the male counterparts were busy dreaming up of ways to get close to him as they noisily cheered on.
Although he was met by all this wonderful reception, Sae-Jin was actually under quite a bit of stress lately, thanks to several worrisome developments of last couple of days. He forced himself to assume a stiff smile, as he approached the waiting father and daughter pair of Kim Yu-Rin and Kim Hyun-Seok.
"Nice to meet you." (Kim Hyun-Seok)
Kim Hyun-Seok reached out with his hand extended first. Kim Sae-Jin lowered his head in a show of respect and shook the older man's hand.
"It's my honour to meet the Korea's greatest Knight." (Sae-Jin)
"…No, actually it's my honour. After all, there is no one who is more acplished than you in your age group, the 20s." (Kim Hyun-Seok)
"Not at all. With Miss Kim Yu-Rin standing right besides me, I'm not deserving of such a praise." (Sae-Jin)
"Mm? Ah. Knight Kim Yu-Rin has already entered her 30s now. She's not in her 20s anymore, haven't for a long time." (Kim Hyun-Seok)
Kim Yu-Rin's shoulders shook in visible shock at this unexpectedly fatal low-blow that was aimed squarely at her heart. Fearing that other Knights might have heard this pletely thoughtless and unnecessary remark of Kim Hyun-Seok, she quickly surveyed the surroundings with a horrified expression clearly etched on her face.
Several Knights knew enough to tactfully lower their gazes when her eyes landed on them.
"…Why would you say such a thing in public?!" (Kim Yu-Rin)
She angrily confronted her father/boss with a really pissed-off face. It seemed that she was ready to kill him if it came down to that.
The sensitive topics of 'age' and 'weight' were incredibly prickly subjects to talk about for ladies, indeed…
"Hahah…" (Kim Hyun-Seok)
"I'm asking you, why did you say that out aloud? Would you feel
good if I called you a 50-something geezer in front of everyone?!" (Kim Yu-Rin)
"Ahahahah…" (Kim Hyun-Seok)
Kim Hyun-Seok glossed over the teeth-gritting Kim Yu-Rin's angry mutterings and walked towards the treasure chest along with Sae-Jin. Because, now was the time for the photo op.
"Say cheese~~!" (Cameraman)
Sae-Jin forced out another smile towards the camera lens as he stood next to Kim Hyun-Seok.
With a soft click, a flash went off.
"We're going to take a couple more pictures, but will you be alright with that?" (Kim Hyun-Seok)
"Pardon? Uh, sure. I'm fine with that." (Sae-Jin)
Sae-Jin inwardly thought, just how many can they possibly take? Can't be that many anyways.
Unfortunately for Sae-Jin, it didn't take too long for him to realise the errors in his lackadaisical judgement.
In order to show off the fact that the Raven "possessed two Treasures crafted by the world's best Blacksmith, Kim Sae-Jin
