CH 127

After the wagon arrived at the castle, Lily and Wendy, Dana’s exclusive maid, rushed out.

Lily had been to the capital city, but after Dana moved to the Grand Duchy in a hurry, she started late and was also anxious because she did not know where Dana was.

“I was really worried, did you have any bruises?”

“Yes, I’m fine. I’m sorry I got you worried.”

“Then I’ll take a breather and see you again in the office.”

Daniel bowed his head politely to Dana and headed to Leon’s office. However, Daniel looked back while going.

Leon, who was expected to go with him, was not thinking of moving and stayed close to Dana. Daniel had a lot of things to discuss with him, so he agonized for a while.

“…If I talk to you now, you’ll get angry again, right?”

Leon couldn’t stand to wait in front of the security guards and ignored him. Daniel quickly gave up and shook his head and left alone.

Ignoring Daniel’s gaze lightly, Leon looked up and down at Dana. It was impossible to see the inside of her body covered in her black clothes, but Dana was somehow embarrassed and withdrew her body.

As if looking through, Leon ordered Wendy, the maid, who was standing politely behind her.

“Go and get a doctor first.”

“I… I’m fine.”

Dana muttered awkwardly, but no one agreed with her. Leon also talked to Lisa after seeing Wendy often disappear.

“How long are you going to stay?”

“…I think we’ll be together until we’re done.”

She knew that the opponent was the Grand Duke, but Lisa said everything she had to say without being intimidated. Dana believed in her protection quite a bit, although her unique personality played a role.

However, the servants, who had just come to meet him, looked nervous. The rude way of speaking was also a problem, but basically, Leon didn’t like others staying in his castle.

In particular, Chedron, the butler, rolled his eyes and gulped.

“Oh, that’s right. Lisa also has bad memories of Rian Felice. It will help you.”

Dana played a part in Lisa’s words without knowing their circumstances. Leon, who had a slightly troubled expression, looked at Dana and Lisa for a while.

“Leon?”

Dana urged the answer. Leon eventually opened his mouth, and he turned his head at the sound of a cry.

“Your Grace, Your Grace!”

At the news that he had visited Dana, Ahil stopped searching and was in a hurry to return. Leon slightly raised the corners of his mouth as a thought crossed his mind when he saw him.

“According to the report, I heard you know how to use a sword, but I want to check your skills.”

And as soon as Leon finished speaking, he released his sword and threw it high toward Lisa. Lisa accepted and caught the falling sword.

“You’re saying I have to prove my usefulness to be here.”

“I want that knight over there.”

Leon avoided an immediate answer and pointed to the approaching Ahil. Dana glanced at Leon and Lisa without knowing why.

Lisa smiled confidently and pulled the sword out of the scabbard without hesitation.

“Ha!”

With the sound of shouts, Lisa rushed to Ahil with a sword pulled out.

Ahil, who had no idea of this situation, seemed a little embarrassed by Lisa, who suddenly rushed in, and set up a sword on the spot, taking a defensive posture.

The sound of the metal hitting resonated quite fiercely. Dana held her hands together and watched them anxiously.

Leon slipped to Dana’s side and put an arm across her shoulder in the meantime. Dana lifted her head and whispered near Leon’s ear in familiar warmth.

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

“I can’t leave her in this castle to play around and eat.”

“What?”

She heard the sound of swords clanging continuously. The skills of the two, who first appeared, looked similar at first glance. However, as time passed, sweat began to form on Lisa’s forehead.

Ahil glanced at his master and noticed what to do. No matter how much he looked at it, he thought she was a guest, but he seemed to be asking if it was okay to hurt her.

Lisa’s movement was gradually slowing down.

Dana grabbed Leon’s hem tightly with an anxious face. Then Leon, who was leisurely enjoying it, raised his hand.

“Stop.”

It wasn’t a very loud voice, but Ahil immediately fell back with his sword. Lisa also stood there with her sword, aiming at him. She was quite exhausted in a short period, but above all, her pride looked hurt.

“It looks like you’re lazy.”

Lisa smiled awkwardly at Dana and put the sword into the sheath.

As soon as the match was over, Ahil knelt looking at Leon and Dana.

“Sorry, your Grace!”

Ahil couldn’t raise his head as it was. Lisa glanced at him and crept past him and approached Dana and Leon.

“The skill is not bad, but it takes practice to work properly.”

“What do you want me to do? Even amid a long battle, I was weak…”

Lisa murmured as if she was disappointed in herself.

“I’m going to entrust my wife to you. Ahil made a mistake this time, and he had a lot of work to do, so it was too much to keep her under his guard.”

Leon fell into different thoughts at the reference to Dana as his “wife”. In the meantime, Lisa’s expression became much more serious than before. She stared at Dana for a moment and sighed quietly.

“Whoa, if that’s the case, I’m the perfect one for you but… As your highness said, I need more training.”

“Every moment my wife is away from me, try to escort her closely. Of course, there will be more guards beside you.”

“Wait, the moment you’re not with me? So she’s not needed when the Grand Duke is with me?”

Leon smiled with a confident look, holding Dana a little closer.

“Of course, I’ll be there for you then. In the castle, I wouldn’t mind you disappearing to train during that time.”

Lisa looked absurdly at him for a moment but soon accepted that she thought it was not a bad offer.
