The knight was standing behind the door, it was open. Did he get inside while I was searching upstairs?
"How lucky I am to get a girl all alone." [Knight]
"..." [Angelica]
"The silent type huh... don't worry, you won't be silent for long kekeke." [Knight]
This knight has no helmet on, is he an idiot? Or just overconfident? He lets out a sinister laugh while staring at my body, this is the type of scum that I don't want to meet.
"Why are you knights attacking this village?" [Angelica]
"Ohhh! So you can talk after all~" [Knight]
"Answer the question." [Angelica]
"We just came her for some fun." [Knight]
"Fun?" [Angelica]
"Since this is a rural village, no one would probably care if it were to suddenly disappear right? People would just think that this place got attacked by monsters or raided by a band of thieves." [Knight]
"You assholes..." [Angelica]
"Yes, get mad~" [Knight]
I clenched my fist, these guys decided to wipe out our peaceful village just for fun? Don't bullshit me! What are we some game to be hunted?!

"Who gave you that order?" [Angelica]
"That... would be me~" [Knight]
He bowed to me as he said that and he left one eye open to see how I would react. I lifted the cutlass as I prepare for an attack, he showed me a smirk. Our house is quite small, he will have problems moving with his armor and also his sword which is long. This is why I picked the cutlass, just in case I needed it to fight indoors.
He's not moving... we looked at each other, waiting on who will strike first. Every second felt like an eternity.
"Don't keep me waiting little girl~" [Knight]
He tries to provoke me, but I ignored him. Looking for gaps in his defenses, the only place I can attack is his head and his joints. I stepped forward and then lunged at him. His eyebrows raised up, was he surprised? You thought that I wouldn't make the first move, didn't you?
As I closed in on him, he readied his sword. He tried to slash me, but the blade got stuck in the wall disrupting his stance. My movement was quicker with the cutlass, then I slashed the gaps of his armor from his kneecaps to his elbows.
"Arrrgg!!" [Knight]
The knight shouted in pain, then wobbled and got down, he supported himself with one knee as if he were being knighted.
But something feels off... my attack just now... it didn't feel like it had cut into his flesh, but he clearly showed signs of pain, as I was about to give the finishing blow...
"Wait-wait-wait!! I'm sorry I was rude! We'll leave the village please don't kill me!" [Knight]
"No can do... what if you brought reinforcements with you." [Angelica]
"I'll give you gold so please spare my life!" [Knight]
Does he think I will just let him go if I got some money is he an idiot? He will certainly bring more of his friends here in revenge and by then we are truly fucked.
"No, you will die, because of your crimes." [Angelica]
I never planned on killing anyone, but if it is for the safety of the village... then killing the knight's leader might make them stop... or disorganized.
"Higghhhhhh!!" [Knight]
When my slash came the knight screamed in fright, in a split second... He caught the blade with his hand?!
I tried pulling it away, but it just won't budge. Since I was still holding the sword he pulled me closer and then punched me right in the stomach... I leaned forward and then blanked out.
"Kekekeke..." [Knight]
