CODE: Last Knight

Suspects

The girl keeps doing that for a few seconds until there’s a weird beep. Another weird thing appears as it seems to be like a transparent glass appearing with some text on it out of nowhere. 

The girl looked closely towards that thing and then shifted her gaze towards me. 

“It seems that you do not have amnesia at all, are you trying to act like that because you’re afraid to be thrown to jail?” 

“What’re you talking about, I didn’t understand anything you said at all about the word jail and amnesia…” I said that towards the girl. 

“You do not understand that word? Weird… Maybe this scanner might have a problem. Let me ask you a few questions then.” The girl said. 

The first question she asked whether I remember my name or not. Without much trouble, I gave him my name which was Zanis. I do not know why this question was needed as it isn't even related to the word that I did not know about. 

“Okay Zanis, where do you live?” 

“I live in the northeast of the Kingdom Of Telesria, near the great river of Dale,” I said that as that was the area in which I live in. 

“One last question, what’s your age?” The girl asked me. 

“I couldn’t remember that as well because I am busy fighting. I would say around 26 years old…” 

“I see, thanks for answering the question then. Please rest for a bit as I am going to discuss your issue with the doctor in charge of you.” She said that and that left this place. 

I was all alone in the strange room. I tried to get up but there’s something preventing me from doing that. It’s almost like there’s a magical barrier that has been set up around me. Knowing that might be it, I had no other choice just to lie down on this bed. 

It was quite comfortable I say as my whole life I just been using bedrolls. While I was lying down on my bed, it was quite hard for me to believe that I was in the future. I wonder what happened with my fellow knight paladins. 

I then remember about the dream that I had earlier, was that dream real, did they die fighting Xarkes army. Why I was so stupid to listen to Xarkes deal, the knight paladins trust me to finish off Xarkes and yet I fail. I would not be forgiving myself if that really happens. 

I need to return back to my timeline and do the right thing, which was to defeat Xarkes. Even though the future said that Xarkes was the one who brought peace to this world. I had my doubts about that as there’s no way Xarkes would do that. 

Xarkes was a cruel demon that slaughtered countless people and even created the war which took my brother's life. There’s no way that Xarkes wanted peace as there might be a reason why Xarkes does this. 

While I was thinking about that kind of stuff, I didn’t notice that there are people standing on my left at the moment. I halted my thought as I looked at the two of the guys that were beside me. 

They’re wearing the same kind of shirt as the guys that had been killed by the anti-demon people. Why’re they here? 

“We’re sorry for interrupting your rest but we need you to answer some of our questions if you don’t mind?” 

“Is this about the people from the anti-demon faction who killed one of your friends?” 

“Look! I was right… Those anti-demon people were the ones who killed them, we must get our revenge and kill them back!” The other guy said that.

“Ellan! You do know if we do that, it will create an endless cycle of revenge. Beside our job was to retain the peace and not kill people!“ 

“But…” 

“I do not want to listen anymore to this revenge thing! Do you understand that Ellan?” The man said that with a serious tone. 

“I understand sir, I would not mention this anymore.” 

It seems that the man that was giving me the question was superior to this guy called Ellan. Hearing their conversation, I know what this Ellan guy felt right now after listening that his friends were killed by the anti-demon guys. 

“I’m sorry for this but could we get back to my question?” The man said that. 

“Okay but I don’t think that you ask me any questions yet…” I said that. 

“Oh! I forgot… you already gave me the answer as to who was the killer and I will skip that. I will ask you about what you're doing there and how you get shot by those guys.” The man asked me that question. 

I was just about to say the actual reason but suddenly I realized something. If I told them the truth, they would ask me why I was caught in the first place. There’s no way I will be telling them that I was about to kill a demon. 

They would then think I was a part of the anti-demon faction and might throw me into a dungeon or investigate me for a bit longer. With that, I decided to fake the story as I did not want it to happen and besides I didn’t even kill that demon. 

“I was just walking near there when I heard a strange sound, I then went there to check it out and find there are two dead bodies in front of me. I then saw who did it and the anti-demon guys used magic that called a bullet to kill me, it was because I witnessed who killed the two guys.” 

“I see, that means you just got caught in that situation… thank you for telling us that honestly and is there something else that you see before you get shot?” The man said that. 

“No, I think there’s nothing…” I suddenly remembered something, “Wait a minute, I think I do have something else to tell!”
