The Abandoned Empress Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Chapter 42

“Again.”

“… ”

“Again!”

Carsein was a very strict coach. When I showed even the slightest sign of fatigue, he rebuked severely. I don’t know why, but he was burning with desire to improve my skills in a short ti.

“Oh, it ‘s really frustrating. Can’t you do it right? Push a little more. No, that’s not the right posture!”

The boy who was staring at sharply got fretful. Although he got really annoyed, he was a good coach, pointing out and correcting the position of my arms and waist as well as the angle of the sword. When I wielded the sword, reflecting on what Lars pointed out, I felt like I was doing better.

It has been six months since I ca to my father’s estate.

Suddenly, the hot sumr passed, and now it grows cooler everyday. Exposed to the cool wind, I smiled pleasantly. Was the day when I practiced until I was exhausted and took care of my skin at the urging of Lina finally over?

“That’s all for today. You got much better. ”

“That’s surprising! How co you are praising ?”

“I don’t talk any nonsense as far as fencing is concerned. You’ve really made great progress. If you continue to practice like this, you might be able to aim for a knight in a few years. I’m serious.”

“No way! Thanks for your praise anyway. ”

As I spent the two seasons with him, my relationship with Carsein changed a lot. The biggest change is that we finally started to speak comfortably. Well, as I used to use honorific language to him from the beginning, I think I have started to feel comfortable.

Wiping the sweat from my forehead, I headed for the mansion. Even though it was quite cool, my whole body was still hot because I was practicing in the hot sun for a long ti. After I took a shower and ca downstairs, a maid brought out tea and cake.

I glanced at the red tea water blankly and looked around. As always, Sir Seymour, the royal guard in white uniform, was standing still at the door today.

“Thanks for your hard work, Sir Seymour. Would you like a cup of tea? ”

“No thanks, my lady.”

“Just moisten your throat. When I see you standing there, I feel uncomfortable. ”

“… Okay. Thank you, lady.”

After I handed a mug to the blonde knight, I checked the letter that ca today while drink the sour hibiscus tea.

‘Let’s see. This is for Carsein, and this is from Allendis.’

As I opened the light green envelope, Carsein, who already sat next to , said in a sulken voice, “What the heck? Another letter from that stupid guy? What is he saying this ti?”

“Go away, Carsein. Why are you trying to look at another man’s letter? ”

“Oh, dang it! You are so an! I am not looking at it.”

Carsein, who got fretful with his dishevelled red hair down, picked up the letter addressed to him. Did he feel it was funny that Carsein and I were squabbling? I smiled at Sir Seymour awkwardly, opening the envelope. At first, it was difficult for to even reply to Allendis, but over the passage of two seasons, he and I continued to exchange letters, and we were restoring our friendship little by little in the process.
