The grand cathedral of the Kinessian Divine Church, the Declaration Hall.
Only the Pope and Cardinals could enter the Declaration Hall.
All matters related to the denomination were discussed here and decisions on how to handle them were made.
They periodically changed their external stance and negotiation tactics on issues such as those concerning the palace, social circles, and battles with demons.
Oh, right. Have you heard the rumors about Marquis Laird?
Marquis Laird? Why suddenly bring up that family?
You must have heard about the arranged marriage with Duke Adelaira?
I know their children had an engagent ceremony.
Enrite Selena had been listening to the conversation of the Cardinals for a while now.
She also had an interest in the strategic marriage of those families.
She had already t the youngest son of Marquis Laird and had unforgettable mories with him.
In one side, shes called a rogue, and in the other side, just an ordinary person, right?
Thats what Ive heard.
It was a false rumor. Hes not just ordinary.
Oh is there sothing special about him?
He used his sword aura. Can you believe it?
Sword aura? You an the sa sword aura I know?
While returning to the capital by carriage and they ran into a group of bandits.
Bandits? How could there be bandits near the capital?
Thats what Im wondering too Anyway, they attacked by them, and the youngest son of the Marquis Laird used his sword aura to fight them off.
He used his sword aura himself?
Yes. He killed half of the bandits with his sword aura.
Wow
Enrite recalled her speculations at the ti with a faint smile.
Although he didnt have the sa talent as them, she knew that he would soday awaken his potential.
The ti had co sooner than expected, and his potential was beyond extraordinary.
Just because soone wants to use the sword aura, it doesnt an they can use it, right?
Even with extensive training, using sword aura technique is not easy.
Its not a matter of easy or difficult. The Marquis Lairds youngest son is now 19 years old. How can a 19-year-old use sword aura techniques?
19 years old? I didnt hear that wrong, did I?
You heard correctly. Using sword aura techniques at 19 years old is a rare talent that may only co along once every few centuries. What do you think will happen now?
Um Wont the knight order be interested in him?
Theres no way any ordinary knight order will be interested. They would have to be at the level of the royal knight order to even consider taking him in, wouldnt they?
The royal knight order fought only for the king and the direct royal family, with the top priority of protecting their safety.
They had to have considerable skill to guard royal family mbers at close range, and to be loyal to the king and obey any orders without question.
Usually, the nobles could et these conditions, and even with great effort, it wasnt easy for commoners to beco soldiers in the capital citys defense force.
Well isnt the will of the person in question important?
Why would you refuse that? Just by joining the royal knights, you can elevate your family and yourself. Isnt that enough? The pay is also quite substantial, and you can always receive a generous treatnt while staying in the palace. They may be called knights, but in reality, they dont have that much work to do.
Dont nobles recognize you just for being in the royal knights?
Just by staying there, nobles will co looking for you. Who would belittle soone who is mber of the Royal Knights?
A knight order is made for free?
The knights gather themselves, so the order is completed. Actually, theres sothing more important than that.
If theres sothing more important
If luck is on your side, you can marry a direct royal descendant, right?
Ah
Enrite Selena finally turned her gaze to the docunts, showing interest for the first ti.
Most people give up their precious things and chase after imdiate gains.
Whom is the knight order for, and what is the marriage for?
Perhaps Sion Laird was also sacrificed for that gain.
Too bad. Even if he resembled them, they couldnt surpass reality in the end.
Enrite felt sorry for Sion Laird, but didnt look beyond that.
He wasnt the human she was looking for, and he couldnt escape his noble status for the rest of his life.
If you prove yourself worthy, we may et again soday. There are still five Magic Swords left.
She was looking for a qualified human, and the other Magic Swords were wandering as well.
In the old days, she would have included Exceed Rain, but now she couldnt even tell if it was alive or dead.
If they t again, she had to destroy Exceed Rain, this ti without fail.

The Duke Adelaira residence, Hanettes room.
Hanette didnt co out of the room, frozen in fear from what had just happened.
If she left the mansion now, she felt like soone would try to harm her.
Gambling or drinking used to be ways to secretly accumulate funds, but now she couldnt even think of that.
Even fighting against the person isnt easy, let alone killing a monster
Hanette felt terror just from the thought of fighting.
Although she learned magic, she couldnt say that she was perfect.
If she really wanted to fight monsters, she should prepare more thoroughly.
I wont have anything if I run away like this
When she heard a knock on the door, Hanette flinched and turned her head.
Sion was coming into the room, showing a calm expression.
Why do you look like that? Do you have any complaints with ?
. No, I dont. Why did you co?
Hanette weakly replied with a fragile gaze.
Sion quickly understood the reason and extended his right hand.
Give the necklace for a mont.
Why?
I want to check sothing.
Hanette, unlike usual, didnt even argue back and handed over the necklace.
Sion felt a tinge of regret but understood the sentint behind it.
She had been shocked after nearly losing her life in a surprise attack.
She completely lost her cool.
Sion created a purple magic and infused it into the necklace.
Since he had transford his original magic through Exceed Rain, the color had changed.
As the mana seeped deep into the necklace, a faint purple color began to swirl around the edge of the necklace.
Now, I can find her wherever and whatever I want.
