The backyard of the Alda mansion.
"hiss!"
Paul leaped back and distanced himself from the little princess Irene.
The current state is a bit... embarrassing!
Paul thought he could easily make the little princess admit defeat, after all, which girl would be interested in dancing swords!
As for myself, although I either stay in the office or soak in the laboratory all day, I occasionally practice swordsmanship with Victor.
As a man, and possessing advantages in physique and strength, isn't it easy to deal with a girl who regards a scholar as her identity?
But he was wrong!
Irene's swordsmanship is actually faster, more accurate, and more ruthless than his!
Whenever her sword was about to stab the opponent, she could always dodge it in a posture that surprised Paul.
Then, while Paul hadn't retracted his weapon, he struck him with a sword with incomparable flexibility.
Paul was sure that if Irene was holding a real sword, he would have already been stabbed with blood several times.
Fortunately, I used a wooden sword, and there were only a few bruises on my body.
Damn it!
"Haha, you... are you really Betty? I shouldn't have mistaken someone, right?"
In fact, Liya, the female guard standing next to her, had definitely reminded her of the identity of the girl opposite.
"Shouldn't we sit down now and have a good chat about the past? While drinking tea, talk about the time in Northwest Bay..."
"Stop talking nonsense, Paul Greiman!"
Irene gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, and said in a bitter tone: "I thought you were a good friend before, but I didn't expect you to try to take my sister away from me."
"You villain among villains, today I must teach you a lesson!"
Paul was in a dilemma, what should he do?
Shout out for help? It's so embarrassing.
Do you want to keep playing? It seems that I can't beat it.
Um? Wait, I can't beat her with a sword, but if I use other tricks...
Irene is just a girl after all!
Paul thought badly, Irene, Irene, just now you were clamoring for a duel.
Since it's a duel, don't blame me for using everything.
Just when Paul thought of this, Irene on the opposite side actually made an attack.
It took less than a heartbeat, and the blade stabbed near Paul's chest.
Paul swung his sword to block the sword, but unfortunately, Irene made a fake move this time.
The sword turned and pierced Paul's abdomen with a speed that Paul had no time to react.
Hey, it hurts so much! Paul cried out inwardly.
Erin, please remember, I will take revenge on your sister for today's shame, if you stab me with a sword, I...
Paul swore in his heart, and did not delay his body to react according to the thought just now.
Enduring the pain caused by the wooden sword, he didn't back down, instead he bullied himself forward without hesitation.
The wooden swords used by the two were not real swords. The tip of the sword was actually a small round head. In addition, Irene didn't use all her strength. Paul thrust forward like this, and the tip of the sword that stuck in Paul's abdomen ran along his waist. The silk shirt was scratched to one side.
However, Paul stepped in front of Irene's eyes and slammed into her body very ungentlemanly.
As a woman, Irene couldn't compete with Paul in terms of strength and weight. When she was pressed close to her body, her proud sword skills didn't work, and she was knocked backwards.
In fact, Erin reacted very quickly. When Paul was about to get close to her, she raised her leg and wanted to kick Paul away.
But after all, it was still half a beat too late. What I wanted to hit Paul turned into tripping Paul.
As it turns out, Erin gets knocked over by Paul, Paul gets knocked over by Erin, and...
Paul is on Erin.
"Ah ah-!"
Irene, who had never been so close to a man before, let out a sharp scream in fright.
The guards guarding around watched this scene dumbfounded, whether they were the guards of the royal family or the guards of the mansion.
succeeded? Paul thought, although the result was embarrassing.
At this moment, a cold voice came from the side.
"What are you doing?"
Paul was startled, the voice seemed to be?
He looked in the direction of the voice all of a sudden, as expected!
Princess Catherine looked at him and Irene with a pale face.
Oops! when did she come in
Paul got up from Irene in a jerk, and after a little hesitation, he stretched out his hand to pull the little princess up.
He broke out in a cold sweat and said, "His Royal Highness, please listen to my explanation. Just now I was just competing with your sister in sword skills, and I accidentally..."
But Catherine just looked at him with cold eyes.
ah! It seemed that she had just arrived, and as soon as she came in, she saw the embarrassing scene just now!
"elder sister!"
With tears in her eyes, Irene threw herself into Catherine's arms and burst into tears. She pointed at Paul and cried, "Paul is bullying me!"
Paul is a little anxious, Erin, can you stop talking nonsense!
"Ahem! Your Highness, please let me explain, the matter is actually like this..."
At the critical moment, Irene's female guard Liya spoke up and explained the ins and outs to Catherine. Paul was very grateful to her in his heart.
Catherine, who knew what was going on, gave her sister a shudder in the forehead.
"Don't cry! It's all caused by your nonsense at the beginning!"
"But...but..." Irene said aggrievedly, "Paul shouldn't be like that, he doesn't follow the rules of swordsmanship."
"What? Could it be that you and the enemy talk about the rules in the duel field, of course it's how you defeat the opponent!"
Catherine felt a little helpless about her sister's innocence.
"Lord Graham!"
Catherine's tone made Paul, who thought he was out of the matter, feel tighter. UU reading
"Although it was Irene who used the wrong words at first, why did you take it seriously? That scene just now..."
Speaking of this, Catherine frowned slightly, "It's really too disrespectful."
Paul was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Your Highness. I was too serious and ran into Princess Irene."
Catherine shook her head, feeling particularly distraught with Paul.
Speaking of it, this was the first time I met my future marriage partner after learning about my marriage.
She went to look for Irene just now, and learned from the servant that Irene was going to Earl Graman to "take back" her sister. Worried that Irene would cause some trouble, Catherine hurried to the Arda mansion.
In fact, on the way, she thought about many things.
When she saw Paul, she lost the composure she had when the two met for the first time, and she had mixed emotions.
There was anger and fear, but also embarrassment and tension, and even a little bit of shame.
Although these emotions are forcibly hidden by her, in the eyes of outsiders, she is still a majestic princess.
"Come back with me, Erin!"
She ordered her younger sister in a somewhat harsh tone, like a parent who caught a child who sneaked out to misbehave.
Catherine doesn't want to stay here anymore, she doesn't know how to face Paul.
"Okay, sister."
And now Irene is indeed like a child who sneaked out and was caught.
There is no such arrogance as when he came to see Paul earlier.
Before leaving, Erin looked back at Paul.
"Paul, you are actually a pretty good person, I hope you can protect my sister well in the future!"
The two people involved blushed all of a sudden, although they didn't look at each other again!
