Chapter 20

While Nefion caused a commotion showcasing his power, Arthur was in a peaceful state of mind as he practiced his skills. He slashed using his enchanted sword. And he also tried his best to get used to the techniques Nefion taught him.

Hily watched everything from the sides with a mesmerizing face. She was only a servant, powerless. But she wanted things to change. Hily dreamed of the day she could protect herself. Maybe a day where she would have similar powers as Arthur.

Arthur had no idea, but Hily wanted to flee with him after the mess. She hated being stuck inside the palace and working to the bones. There was a gigantic and beautiful world for her to explore.

“Hey, Arthur,” Hily said.

Arthur practiced his sword moves, and sweat dripped from his forehead. One slash, then another. The most important part was how one uses its feet to draw power to all of the attacks. Wisa said that to him, so Arthur was starting to understand.

Arthur gazed at her and pondered. Hily’s words were not pointless, and Arthur knew the royal family would find her in a matter of days. But if she went if him, dangers would still be at every corner. Hily wasn’t strong enough to help in battle, so what should Arthur do?

The first thing that came to his mind was to train her. But he was not proficient enough. Arthur needed to improve his strength.

Before Arthur could answer, Nefion appeared out of a sudden.

“Damn, you returned? How long has it been? one and a half hours? You know how to fly and did not tell us?”

“Brat, I went using these two bad boys,” Nefion slapped both of his legs.

“It is a shame
