Chapter 203 Seven Years

The sharp sound of swords clashing could be heard. Daedalus and a young man could be seen sparring in the garden near the lake. The young man had dark crimson hair and beautiful light blue eyes, he was Richard.

Although Richard had long chosen to weld his fists against his foes it didn't mean he wouldn't practice the sword. So that's what he did. He would practice any and all forms of combat he could with Daedalus, and Daedalus used it as a chance to increase his own proficiency. It had been seven years since they started doing this and currently Richard and Daedalus could fight equally, if only because Daedalus lowered his own cultivation to suite the situation.

It was summer now and Daedalus was preparing to go on his journey. He wanted to travel the world and fight the strongest masters of every martial art and weapon. This was why Daedalus was fighting Richard using the sword this time.

As their swords clashed once more Daedalus' blade managed to get past Richard's defense, only stopping beside his neck. Richard sighed 'Defeated again.' he thought before saying "Well I assume this means you will be leaving soon?"

Daedalus sighed while looking up into the sky, "Yes, I will be leaving soon. Maybe I will stay gone longer this time, and maybe even complete my goal." Daedalus chuckled. Before Richard could reply the two of them heard a shout from the distance. Turning they could see Rose chasing her brother, earning a chuckle from the two of them.

This had happened a lot recently, but it was never anything serious, at most it would be because Reginn stole Rose's sweet roll. Daedalus shuddered at that thought, and it seemed Richard also thought of that incident as he also shuddered. The two the chuckled in a careful way as they focused back on Rose chasing Reginn.

Sadly Daedalus couldn't help but think back to the 'sweet roll incident'. It happened just two years ago, Rose had just returned from an outing into the city and with her was a sweet roll, the most delicious of treats. Unfortunately, Reginn decided that it would be a good idea to steal it from her. He didn't last long, arms and legs broken in a most brutal fashion. It was the day they truly grew fear towards Rose.

Returning to the present Daedalus could see that Rose had caught Reginn. So, quickly, Daedalus ran over and asked "So what did he take this time?"

Rose looked incensed but seemed to calm down since her dad was there. After calming down for a while she said "He didn't succeed, but he tried to steal my sweet roll."

Hearing what he tried to do, Daedalus looked at Reginn with pity and said "You should really stop courting death, I won't be able to save you from now on."

This made Reginn and Rose look a bit down as they remembered him talking about a journey he was planning a few days ago.
