“Elena! You’re back!”
“Sister, you worked hard!”
“Elena! Come on, let’s train!”
“Lady Sebes, you worked hard.”
After learning of Klaus and I’s return, many people welcomed me back.
It was expected that Count Sebes and Lariat would welcome me, but Herta, Merwin, and even Rudiot awkwardly greeted me and thanked me for my hard work.
Looking back, I also met many new people and changed a lot.
As I was nodding my head with a proud face, Herta quietly came next to me and lowered her voice.
“But Elena, is that true?”
“What do you mean?”
Oh, has the relationship between me and Klaus already spread widely in the capital?
I had no intention of having a secret relationship, but I wasn’t mentally ready to switch to an open relationship right away… … !
“Well, you and His Highness Klaus.”
“Me and His Highness Klaus…?”
As I swallowed, Lariette’s voice cut in between me.
“Yeah, that’s right! I was curious about that too.”
No, Lariat, you also found out about our love story?
“I heard that your sister was His Highness Klaus’ swordsmanship teacher?”
“Ugh…! Is it true that Your Majesty has an outstanding teacher? It’s not true, is it?”
Ah, that one… … .
“No, that’s what I mean….”
“I heard it all through the guards who came in first. I heard you said that in front of the bad guys?”
Before I could explain, the excited Lariette lowered her voice and started copying something.
“‘Ha, I didn’t want to get any more blood on my hands…’ right?”
No, why did that line spread so widely?
At the time, it was something I just blurted out out of bravado, but when I heard that I had actually said such a thing from someone else’s mouth, I was so embarrassed that I almost died.
“Oh my, look at the way she twists her body. Maewyn, is this the gesture my sister makes when she’s serious?”
“Then the really great Lady Sebes was your teacher?”
“That can’t be true. I thought the only unbreakable sword in the Empire was His Highness Klaus’ sword, but there was another wall above it?”
“No, you people! That’s not it!”
Even the guards are talkative!
How is it that humans in this world have no secrets?
Despite my embarrassed expression, this time even Mewin cautiously joined us.
“Then, Lady Sebes, is it true that you said something like, ‘I will gift you a comfortable rest’?”
Don’t give me those sparkly eyes!
He’s a very timid character, so why does he imitate me like a neighborhood gangster?
While I was thinking about how to get out of this situation, I suddenly felt an energy trying to attack my wrist.
Hertavirus evasion technique No. 23!
I dodged with a familiar movement, and a beat later I realized that it was Herta who was trying to grab my hand.
“Eh, Elena Seves.”
It’s ruined.
Herta now began to look at me with burning red eyes.
“So you’ve been treating me appropriately all this time?”
“No, Captain. That’s not it?”
“Are you pretending to be bad at swordsmanship in front of me to hide your ability to beat His Majesty?”
“No, the captain already said that I have no talent, that I am a talentless person who only comes along once in a thousand years, right?”
“He also despised me!”
no! I wasn’t trying to humiliate you, I was just trying to humiliate other idiots!
“Elena Seves!”
Herta called my name in a voice that echoed through the hallway, and held out a training sword in front of my nose.
“On the honor of being a swordsman, I challenge you to a duel!”
“I have no honor!”
“Aren’t you embarrassed as your teacher?”
“No! No!”
“Captain Herta, I’m glad your eyes have come back to life. Isn’t that right, Lariette?”
“Yes. The captain is definitely a person who becomes stronger only when he sees the enemy in front of him, Mewyn.”
“Ugh! Save the person!”
Why did that enemy become me?
I screamed and ran away from Herta.
I made eye contact with Rudeat, who was spending a diligent day in the distance, and he sighed openly and started to go back the way he came.
hey! Rudeat! I tried so hard not to play lariat with you!
Do you betray people like this?
“Hurry and take out your sword, Your Majesty’s Master!”
“Save people!”
So I played a game of tag with Herta, risking my life, until I proved once again that I was truly incompetent at swordsmanship.
Hehehe, was it really a good thing to become friends with people?
Klaus slowly looked around his study.
It was to find the last piece of the crystal seen at the origin of the world.
‘Given what we’ve done, I don’t think this represents the lifespan of the world.’
Something I wouldn’t have been sure of if I was alone, but hearing it through Elena’s mouth gave it a weighty effect.
So now all that’s left is to find the last piece and prove that her guess is correct.
The world continues without destruction.
Klaus was looking forward to walking down this new path.
And finally, Klaus found the last crystal piece that connected the new path.
“As expected, it was this.”
His holy relics, which once glowed greedily with golden light, soon regained their full transparency and glowed softly.
