“That makes no sense.”

“It doesn’t make no sense. Because......it’s because....”

The moment has finally come to tell the truth. I was about to spit out the words that tickled my throat.

Then suddenly the door of the greenhouse terrace burst open.

“Bessie!”

Alex opened the glass door and rushed in and stopped.

“Oh, my lady is here, too.”

“Alex? Why are you.......”

Bessie turned away from me with a puzzled look. Alex took a breath from his seat as if he had run all the way here.

What timing is this? Alex’s mouth opened at his bewilderment.

“This is good. My lady also could come with me.”

“Where?”

“To the training field!”

The training field? Alex continued when asked for an explanation with a look on my face.

“His Excellency is in the middle of a battle with the knights at the training field.”

“Huh?”

“Oh, His Excellency? What brings him there?”

“I don’t know. Anyway, so now everyone is crowding and watching. Let us go too.”

Alex rolled his feet in place as if he was in a hurry. Bessie looked back at me.

“What would you do, my lady? Would you like to go?”

“Uh, well...”

“Let’s go!”

While agonizing, Alex’s head suddenly cut in between Bessie and me. Oh my gosh.

“You’re going, aren’t you, my lady? Huh? It’s not easy to see His Excellency battle with the knights. It’s not an everyday opportunity .”

He’s like Gyerg who throws a coin at me in a cave.

Anyway, Alex’s eyes were shining eagerly. It is not easy to get a response of rejection.

“........Yes, let’s go.”

Eventually, I rose from the chair where I was sitting. Alex jumped up and down from his seat as if he were happy and took the lead. Would that be so nice?

Bessie followed me along and brought up the words.

“By the way, it’s very rare, indeed. What kind of wind is suddenly blowing?”

Well. Well, I lightly echoed Bessie’s words.

“I know right.”

There was a reason why Alex treated Ash’s sparring that was happening now at the aerodrome as any hidden event.

Ash’s handling of the sword is already well known both inside and outside the mansion.

Perhaps it is enough to publicly rumour that all of the knights of the Duke family have to spar against Ash’s ability.

Not much wrong, but.

Anyway, it’s such a recognized skill both inside and outside, but Ash rarely showed it to others unless it was necessary.

Here, the necessary time is limited to the situation when the country entrusts the subjugation to Ash like a while ago, or when the person needs to be caught and killed is in front of his eyes, or anyway, a situation which made him essential to draw his sword.

Naturally, the training field was not included. That was a job that he didn’t have to do.

Very often, Ash did warm up, but very occasionally. Before he became the Duke and as busy as he is now.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable that Ash is being treated as a piece of rare news that he is in a battle in the training field.

‘A sparring....’

“If you wanted to be so broken, why didn’t you ask me? I can wake you every day!”

“Davery, that’s arrogant.”

There was a lot of booing and Sir Davery seemed to be retorting, but his voice was buried around and could not be heard.

Soon Ash lifted the sword.

It looks like the battle is about to begin.

This time I re-positioned and focused a little. Sir Davery’s skill was confirmed the other day in a battle with Dylan.

It was quite impressive, I wonder what would happen if he sparred with Ash.

So I’m not saying I’m curious about the outcome, but I’m curious about how long he’ll last.

And with the surroundings suddenly quiet, whether I was the only one who focused, Sir Davery ran at Ash first.

A shrill sound rang. Usually, a sword held by Ash’s opponent flew from here.

But Sir Davery was fine. Seeing it pushed, it seemed like there was some shock.

Then Ash went after Sir Darberry this time. Everything can be seen right to my eyes.

The sword moved at such a high speed as not to be.

Wow, no, wait a minute, how did you stop that now? How did you avoid that again?

I couldn’t take my eyes off the sparrings.

It was a surprising and mysterious sight to be taken apart.

Those who booed Sir Davery a little while ago seemed speechless as if they didn’t know he’d go that far.

There is one thing that has become clear at this point. Sir Davery was at least the longest of the knights that struck Ash today.

And he was still holding out.

“Ugh!”

At that moment Ash’s sword pierced Sir Davery’s loophole fiercely. Sir Davery was seen rolling himself away from the sword.

It’s a dusting. It’s going to be the first time in this battle.

“Are you going to do more?”

Ash asked, who aimed the sword at Sir Darberry whose posture had fallen.

Sir Davery was breathing on one knee. He looked exhausted enough to stop.

But Sir Davery seemed to have no intention of stopping.

“Are you letting me do more?”

“If you want.”

“.......then excuse me.”

Sir Davery sprang up and swung the sword again. Ash took a step back and took the sword. The iron sounded loud.

Surprisingly, it was after some time that the battle was over.

Because Sir Davery kept coming at Ash until he was so exhausted that he couldn’t lift a finger.

It wasn’t until the end of the battle that Sir Davery was completely lying on the floor until his strength reached the limit and he couldn’t hold his sword anymore.

Even after he said that he couldn’t get up.

I noticed that by then Ash’s breath was rather short. No matter how bright the sun is during the day, I felt like he was sweating a little this winter.

Lying on the ground as a bed, Sir Davery murmured.

“..........As expected, I still can’t do it.”

It’s too small to hear. What did he say? Then Ash looked down at Sir Davery and said.

“You’ve improved a lot.”

“Well, Hoohh, I still can’t even touch your collar.”

“It’d be perfect if you lowered your eyes a little.”

Sir Davery smiled in a relaxed manner. What were they talking about? I can’t hear well because the surroundings are noisy again.

I was curious, but I saw Ash hand over the sword to the servant and approach this way.

I guess the battle is over now. Sir Davery was the last.

I mumbled and raised myself to see Ash approaching me in exactly the direction I was. My heart was beating faster again.
