+C: Sword and Cornett - Chapter 22

Oh if only Musca is as behaved as this in the actual story.... but since she isn't, I shall continue ignoring here >=D mwahahahaha!

[ QUICK SUMMARY ]

During Eco and Kiliko's conversation, it has been revealed that Eco's former name was Francesco, but he ran away from the Lagen House when he was a child. Eco was seized by another soldier but a monster came just in time to give Eco a chance to escape~
Kiliko begins to suspect that Eco started all the commotion.... though he's not sure of which or what exactly Eco's true aim is.
Meanwhile, underground where the escaped Hokulea and Belca are, Belca has gained consciousness. None of the Hokulea that had invaded the place can communicate with him however, so they had trouble in understanding each other.
Unfortunately, Kiliko's troops had caught up with them. Belca asks how Orcelito and Linna are. Upon hearing that the two were safe, he insisted that the Hokulea should just be punished according to law, not kill them instantly. The assassin however, stubbornly refuses..... so they made a run for it.
Hearing Belca mention "Hokulea", "Shingetsu" and "Tenrou" made them realize that he must've been the prince who had helped them out in the past. Belca confirms his identity to them and it quickly made him consider him as their comrade.
Afterwards, Belca writes a letter, using his blood, to warn the Hokulea of Orcelito's plans (letter's addressed to Shingetsu or Tenrou so that he could be understood by them). The chase continued until they reached a dead end.
As for Linna, Eco just gave him a little task in order to save Belca.

[ YOUNG ECO AKA FRANCESCO ]

Young Eco, for some reason, at a glance looked like a combo of Oz, Jack, and Break from Pandora Hearts o_O Come to think of it... his personality's similar to those three.... in a way.
Eco looks like a sophisticated aristocrat from that scene! So cool~ And he seems to be intelligent since childhood.... intelligent and a very curious child for hanging out with his House's researchers. And at such an age he discovered important documents and can even speak Hokulea language. How could Eco be so incredible xD No wonder Kiliko's intimidated by him because Eco's that amazing~

[ ECO-TAN IS LOVE ]

But genius people who do crack make themselves even more lovable xD
It's so cute when Eco keeps on insisting that he's no fghter xD Hehe. I know you can if only you want to!

[ CROW IS EVIL~ ]

Speaking of fighters, Kiliko's number one fan seems so evil and tough to beat. Belca can do sword fights, but he still sucks =P Too bad he's no match to this dude.

[ BLOOD WRITING ]

Emphasizes how bloody his message is... literally o_o ahahahaha
It's nice that Belca's that determined to help out the Hokulea~ He's such a nice boy~ He even went against his brother for them.

[ BELCA + HOKULEA ]

They finally recognize Belca as a comrade~ I wonder how Hector had gotten their good side.
DAMNIT I WANT THE "HOW HECTOR MET THE HOKULEA" BACKGROUND LIKE NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW!!!!

[ SERIOUSLY THE MOST DEVOTED UNDERLING IN THIS SERIES ]

Lastly, we have dear Linna. As a soldier, he has many duties to choose from: 1) protect/serve the crown prince 2) protect the palace/people 3) return to Sana and do his original job
But no.... he has decided to serve Belca... only Belca... and prioritizing Belca above all.
Forget others; forget himself. His master is the most important one.
He will do anything for the sake of his beloved Mariebelle master no matter what.
I kinda doubt Kiliko would go to this extent with Orcelito.... at least not in this arc maybe.... but with Crow to Kiliko.... it's possible.... but I don't think any character could beat Linna on the devotion and overprotectiveness xD Oh Linna~
