Alia was a child with no talent.
I was slow to learn, so I hated learning.
It was even more so after Ruid was born. Instead of boring classes, he always wanted to play with Ruid.
But Victoria always criticized herself for doing that. I’ve never seen anyone get scolded by Ruid.
Eventually, Alia’s dissatisfaction exploded and she confronted Victoria.
-‘I don’t want to study!’
-‘Alia.’
-‘I want to play like Louis!’
-‘Luid is still 4 years old. You’re five years older.’
-‘lie! Mama didn’t play with Leah when she was 4!’
Alia felt sorry for Victoria, who was infinitely cruel to her but was always kind to Lloyd.
Irene was also disappointed, as she used her fists without warning if she was even slightly intrusive or opposed. Like Ruid, he wanted to be as cute as he could and be liked.
Victoria always showed a cold attitude in the na of succession, but Alia had no interest in the succession from the beginning.
As a result, Alia’s arrow accidentally returned to Ruid. That’s why I couldn’t live with Ruid. It was annoying, but seeing that reaction made even more annoyed, and the vicious cycle of bothering Ruid was repeated.
In the end, Ruid, who couldn’t hold out, quickly approached Victoria and told her, but Alia had the sa montum.
Because when he did the sa thing, Victoria got very angry and even slapped him.
I definitely thought the sa would be true for Luid. But those expectations were shattered.
-‘Alia! What are you doing to your brother now?’
Alia’s young heart was greatly shocked. In the anti, I was able to ignore it because I was the youngest, younger, and younger.
However, when she realized that the consequences for the sa actions were very different, Alia could not bear it. I locked myself in my room, buried my face in my pillow, and swallowed my tears.
-‘Everyone hates . ‘If I disappear right now, no one will care.’
It was a ti when I was depressed. Alia felt magical. The magical power of one’s own species.
I went to the window and saw Irene sparring with Victoria outside. The movents of the two were incredible. Alia’s eyes couldn’t catch up. Soon Irene’s sword fell.
I was shocked. I never imagined Irene losing. But Alia was even more shocked in the next scene.
Even though Irene looked completely devastated, she silently stood up and took her stance with her sword again.
-‘Please one more ti.’
-‘That’s it for today.’
-‘I refuse.’
‘…!’
Irene swung her sword at Victoria, who was about to turn away. And just like that, the sparring began again.
Alia took a step back from the window and fell.
-‘Sister… I’m working hard.’
While she was wasting ti acting foolishly, Irene swung her sword one more ti.
-‘I have to work hard too. If you work hard, your mom, older sister, and younger brother will pay attention to you.’
It was then that Alia’s attitude changed.
She devoted herself to training every day.
However, you soon find out.
Irene and herself were different.
Unlike Irene, whose skills steadily improved in proportion to the ti she spent, she did not improve herself.
-‘Alia. Your magical power is outstanding. So if you work hard, it will definitely bear fruit.’
Victoria always said that.
It was clear that he had good natural magical powers. However, my ability to handle it was poor. His ability to handle a sword was even worse.
No matter how hard I tried, it didn’t improve. I haven’t put down my sword even for a day, not at all.
But I wasn’t depressed. Because the purpose was achieved.
-‘Sister, let’s go see the fox.’
My relationship with Ruid, which had been awkward, got better again.
-‘Alia. ‘We have to protect Ruid.’
-‘Leah, don’t let a drop of water get on Louis’ hands.’
Because of that, his family took interest in him again. Alia was satisfied with that. In the first place, she didn’t have much greed.
But—
‘…failed to protect it.’
I couldn’t protect Ruid.
Rather, he himself was protected by Ruid.
That misery was an indescribable feeling.
That’s why Alia grits her teeth and practices.
Honestly, I know it won’t work.
I felt it right away after clashing my swords a few tis.
The level is different.
Teutonic was a real knight, and he was a fake knight who had only ever dealt with monsters.
This is not a gap that can be narrowed in a short period of ti.
Drop, drop –
Alia, who had been swinging her sword for 10 hours already, looked down at the floor and let out a rough breath. In his field of vision, he could see his blond hair and the beads of sweat flowing continuously.
‘This isn’t possible. ‘This… isn’t enough.’
Alia swung her sword as if shaking off her thoughts.
**
JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Ruid was hiding in the grass of the mansion, watching Alia’s training.
“….”
Alia, who swung her sword a few tis, slowly turned her head.
“Louis.”
“…!”
“I’m sorry, but please go. “I told you that I can’t concentrate when Louis is around.”
Ruid woke up from the grass with a sour expression.
Alia sighed and ca over to take the leaf off of Luid’s head.
It’s already been 3 days. I’ve been caught spying on Alia’s training dozens of tis.
‘I can’t believe my magic doesn’t work.’
Even though I used both perception-blocking and invisibility magic, it was no use. Rather, it would take just 1 second.
After all, since it is the sa Windsor, the magic sensitivity is the sa, so it is impossible to do sothing secretly.
Moreover, Alia’s magic talent is real, so she is not a good match for tag.
In the end, it was a sideways ending like this.
“Sherry. “Please take good care of Luid.”
Alia looked down at Luid. And I went back to training without looking back.
Ruid glanced at Alia’s back.
‘It’s difficult.’
It wasn’t just that I got kicked out because I kept hugging Alia’s side. In the first place, I could see Alia practicing from the window, so I was able to gather so information.
There is about a month left until Charon recovers. Ruid mathematically calculated Alia’s growth rate.
It was calculated that if the growth rate continued at this rate, it would be impossible to reach Charon.
‘…There are limits to the current thod. ‘I need a teacher to guide ’
That was the only way to improve Alia’s skills.
Because the current Alia was practicing alone and ignorantly.
“Sherry.”
“yes. young master.”
Ruid looked up at Sherry.
“Tell the sword.”
“It’s not possible.”
“why.”
“The Sword of Windsor can only be taught by Windsor.” “I’m saying this for the 12th ti today.”
Sherry bowed her head politely.
Luid’s gaze beca bitterly cold.
In fact, Ruid had already reached this conclusion two days ago. So, he ca up with a plan, such as asking the emperor to find a teacher, or learning the sword himself and pointing out Alia’s problems.
…But as you can see, that’s impossible.
From the beginning, Victoria taught her every day when she was at ho, but Alia’s swordsmanship skills had stopped at the current level.
Of course, even at that level, he could handle most knights, but with his average talent, it was too much to compare to the Teutons, the best knight order in the empire.
‘The question is whether it is possible to find a better swordsmanship instructor than Victoria or Irene in the system. In the end, that’s all there is.’
I didn’t want to use this thod, but I had no choice.
“Give a sword for practice. “You know?”
“As I said, only Windsor can teach Windsor…”
“I will train alone.”
Ruid held out his hand.
“Give it to .”
**
Ruid headed to the practice range with a practice sword.
It was a bladeless sword that suited his body perfectly.
They say they make it every year, so I thought it was a really creative way to waste money, but I never thought I’d end up using it like this.
Alia, who was ditating, opened her mouth.
“Louis.”
“Noona, noona, practice.”
Alia opened her eyes.
“…?”
I glanced at the sword in Ruid’s right hand.
Alia’s composure, which had been maintaining a blank expression, suddenly cracked.
And then he suddenly looked very scared.
“Because I’m going to practice alone.”
Ruid stood at a reasonable distance from Alia with a stubborn expression.
Ruid, with his short limbs, held his sword in a stiff posture and raised it high in the sky.
I drew it down curiously. And then he fell to the floor.
width.
“….”
Ruid had absolutely no sword talent!
“Lou, Louis.”
Alia hurriedly approached and helped Louis up.
“…Why are you swinging the sword all of a sudden?”
“It’s my heart.”
Ruid stood up again. I swung my sword sideways, but Alia caught as I imdiately stumbled and fell.
Ruid stared at Alia’s face while being held in his arms.
“Louis.”
Alia said seriously.
“Sister, you have to practice.”
“I’m going to practice too.”
“…Louis doesn’t need to practice swordsmanship.”
“why? “I’m also a fan.”
“That’s right…”
Alia broke into a cold sweat at the innocent expression on her younger sister’s face.
“If you don’t have talent, can’t you practice?”
“…!”
Ruid fell out of Alia’s arms. I slowly picked up the floor, stood up, and put my hands in my pockets.
“that’s right. “It’s a waste of ti for to learn swordsmanship.”
Alia’s expression hardened as if she was speaking to herself.
Ruid looked directly at Alia and used his magic power.
“But I can act like I’m good with a sword.”
Ruid’s practice sword rose into the air.
It stopped in midair as if it was being held by an imaginary person. I said to Alia, who had a blank expression.
“From now on, I will perfectly reproduce Charon Maximus’ swordsmanship.”
If you are not good at studying, at least have them cheat.
That was Ruid’s way.
**
Emperor Lucius looked at Irene, who was smiling with a nervous expression.
Lucius wanted to close his eyes.
‘It’s coming.’
The Teutons attacked Luid.
After receiving the report of the incident, the emperor felt like his eyes were going dark for a while and was unable to say anything.
The continuation of the imperial family and Windsor was possible because they did not cause harm to each other.
I never imagined that sothing I did out of kindness would turn out to be this way.
I wanted to go see Ruid right away and tell him I was sorry, but
Lucius was the emperor. An emperor must value practicality rather than personal feelings.
Before being the last bastion of the Empire, the Teutonic Knights were the emperor’s powerful personal guard.
That accounts for many of the emperor’s many powers.
If any other knight had caused this incident, he would have hung himself on the gallows without a second thought, but he could not do that to the Teutonic.
Reducing the impact of this incident as much as possible is the only choice that Emperor Lucius must make.
“Irene. This ti…”
“The reason I ca here is to give you a gift.”
Irene interrupted the Emperor. He was still smiling mysteriously.
She slowly took sothing out of her arms. Subspace pocket. She took sothing out of it.
It was a large bundle tied with cloth.
“We dealt with the waste that existed in the system. “It was so hidden.”
Drip, drip –
dark red blood was dripping down from the bundle containing the smiling Irene. She put it on the table.
“…!”
The emperor’s eyes wavered. He looked at Irene with an expression of disbelief.
“Did you kill it?”
“yes. “You can’t save him, can you?”
The emperor placed his hand on the bundle with a slightly trembling hand. When I untied the knot, dozens of heads appeared.
“Huh-”
Even though the emperor had guessed it, he couldn’t help feeling nauseous. But I barely bit my tongue. I looked closely at the head’s face with heated eyes.
There wasn’t.
The head of the Teutonic Knights was not here. The emperor slowly raised his head and looked at Irene.
“I brought you the head of a warlock who was hiding in the Islands. “Are you satisfied with this gift for going to the island?”
Irene was still smiling. Lucius spoke, barely suppressing his pounding heart.
“…You have done sothing truly remarkable. Irene Windsor. I think I should give her an award.”
“I don’t need any awards.”
Irene stopped smiling and spoke with an expressionless face.
“However, Your Majesty, you just need to tolerate my rudeness from now on.”
