Chapter 409 – 409. A Vessel to Contain Longing
==============================
There are many days when I sigh.
Looking at her garden, where she held the brilliance of her life just like yesterday, Ardena murmured as she sighed.
Fortnight.
Fortnight has passed since Yushin left.
Even though she was only 15 days old, Ardena let out a sigh filled with the feelings of her longing, like a wife who was separated from her husband in her life.
“Sister, are you sighing again?”
A high elf girl with gorgeous blonde hair approached and asked.
At that, Ardena nodded her head.
“Continue… I remember. Because I want to see you.”
If she was a normal Ardena, she would have tried to deny her sister’s question, but since she was full of her yearning for Yushin, she honestly admitted it.
I miss him.
I missed her so much that I wanted to run away right away.
Every time she looked at the forest beyond the window, Ardena, who remembered Yushin, spent time stroking her feelings of longing today as well.
“Allone.”
“Yes, sister.”
“… Don’t you want to see Yushin?”
“Of course I want to see it!”
To her older sister’s question, her younger sister answered without a moment’s hesitation with her big smile.
I want to see Master.
I wanted to see Master as soon as possible.
During the Restoration, Alone did not neglect her swordsmanship training, and after receiving the guidance of El Cid, her swordsmanship became more advanced.
I’m sure you’ll be happy with my growth.
There was no doubt that he would stroke my hair saying it was admirable.
Alone continued arduous training while waiting for Master to return.
“I heard you can eat something delicious when you’re feeling down!”
“Who did you hear that from?”
“Allen!”
Allone said with a smile.
Ardena nodded her head with a wry smile at her sister’s confident appearance.
Allen Roxfield.
She must have been waiting anxiously for Yushin.
Perhaps she is looking forward to Yushin’s return even more anxiously than herself.
Ardena, who was gazing at the scenery with her sparkling emerald eyes, was about to go out to meet Allen, who would return after finishing her training.
“Hmm!”
Wallace, watching from afar as his two daughters miss a man, couldn’t hide his complex feelings.
How to view this….
Ardena and Alone,
Wallace, who belatedly found out that both the eldest daughter of the Valencia family and her second daughter were deeply in love with Gilead, and from then on, he continued his agony.
‘It’s definitely a pleasure to have the demon king slayer who saved our species from danger many times become the son-in-law of the family….’
Wallace, who raised his two daughters like Keum Ok-yeop, hesitated in his decision as he pondered over and over again.
Of course, the will of the daughters is the most important, but
As a father of two daughters, it was not easy for him to think that way.
Thanks to having the demon slayer as her son-in-law, she left a threat at the banquet hall where the high elves aristocrats gathered, but on the other hand, she continued to hesitate and looked at her two daughters who were yearning for a man.
‘It’s not something I can decide on my own. Despite the shame… Even if it means being humiliated… I must go see Moriel.’
Moriel.
Moriel Valencia.
She put on a serious expression as she remembered her wife, who had fled to her parents’ house after a teacup fight.
Although she was not formally divorced, Wallace decided to discuss the future of her two daughters with her wife, although the quarrel caused her to break up with her in bad shape.

Ever since Yushin left,
Allen spurred further training.
Is it to forget the longing even for a moment?
She honed her skills as she battled Heinkel with all her might to defeat the mad dog of the Roxfield family.
“Shouldn’t you be taking good care of yourself now?”
Heinkel asked.
At that, Allen put on an expression of firm determination, and she opened her mouth.
“I have to get stronger until her brother comes back.”
A little more,
She needs to be a little bit stronger.
Even though she had a child, she couldn’t dampen her desire to be strong. Allen showed her white teeth as her amber eyes flashed.
“Because I want to protect it. My older brother and the baby to be born someday… I will protect them all.”
“Is she going to be the continent’s strongest mother?”
Heinkel shrugged her shoulders as she looked at her Allen figure, who had developed her red stigmata all over her body.
A female knight of the kingdom who possesses as many as twelve godly powers.
No one will be able to defeat her except her pledgers.
However, it seems that it is still not enough
Heinkel cheered her efforts while bursting into laughter at the sight of Allen, who continued to devote herself to her training and growing her strength and authority.
“If he is that guy, he will definitely come back after completing all his duties. Of course, I’ll show you a few clumsy things along the way… , If you are my only disciple, you will be able to complete your duty.”
“Absolutely! When was the last time your brother betrayed your expectations? Of course, he was kidnapped along the way by a high elf and taken away.”
Ardenna muttered as she glared in the direction where her Valencia castle was located, as if she still had remnants of Ardena, who had kidnapped her fiancé by force.
Haha!”
Heinkel, who was looking at her Allen, burst into laughter at her.
Isn’t that an amazing coincidence?
I would have thought that the high elf who kidnapped his apprentice was El Cid’s apprentice.
Do you think this is fate? It was quite exquisite, as if someone had set up a farmhouse. Heinkel looked at the nutmeg tree forest in the distance and waited for his disciple to return.
“I heard you decided to go to the Earldom of Roxfield together?”
Heinkel asked.
It was difficult for Allen to answer.
After a moment of thought as she pursed her lips, she opened her mouth.
“What… Yes. It’s a place she doesn’t want to go to again, but her brother strongly hopes for it. I don’t want to meet those old brothers and older brothers….”
A father who was strict and heartless.
Brothers who were indifferent and cold.
Recalling her unfortunate days for a moment, Allen said that she still had ill feelings toward the Roxfield family, and she showed her disapproval with a disapproving expression.
“I’m sure he made that decision with you in mind. To prevent you from ignoring and denying your lineage for the rest of your life.”
“… I know. That’s why I always feel sorry for her brother and I’m grateful to her.”
At Heinkel’s words, Allen pouted his lips like a child being scolded by an adult.
It was the words of Heinkel, who acted as her father instead of the cool and authoritative Troyd, so Allen nodded and followed her like a gentle sheep.
“Okay, break time is over now.”
Heinkel, who signaled the end of her break by clapping her hands, raised her wooden sword again and looked at Allen.
The blue-haired female knight showed her teeth while raising her huge greatsword.
“This time I will leave a fatal blow.”
“Your dream is wild.”
As if responding to Allen’s fighting spirit, a red glow shone from her stigmata covering her pale skin.
Twelve powers,
A ‘little god’ who has the divine powers of Another One through atavism.
The little god born after hundreds of years of longing for the Roxfield clan showed his fighting spirit with his entire body and aimed his sharp sword at the Sword Master. At that, the swordsman raised his wooden sword with an arrogant smile.

Ardena and Allen,
Seeing with his clairvoyant eyes the two wives of the Demon King Slayer harbor longing in their hearts, the oath of the elves smiled bitterly and nodded his head.
He was like that himself too.
He was like them too.
El Cid, like Ardena, let out a sigh filled with her longing, anxious her heart for her Yushin, and continued her training like Allen, waiting for him to return.
When will you be back?
I hope you come back soon.
I wanted to see you smile with joy when you were reunited with your two wives.
‘I wish you would smile for me, the way Mr. Gilead smiled at Ardena and Allen… After all, that must be absurd greed.’
Okay,
This is such an absurd greed.
Trying to be treated equally with the two prospective brides who promised to marry was just greed without knowing the subject.
Although L truly loved Yushin, she restrained her romance as much as possible, waiting for Yushin to look at her one day.
“Are you swinging the sword again?”
A dark elf woman, her old friend, asked.
The oath of the elves with his open purple hair hanging down at him nodded his head.
“Because it has always been that way.”
While saying that, El grabbed the hilt of her sword.
Okay,
I used to swing my sword all the time whenever I was in a state of confusion.
Even when her sister, who was everything in this world, died. He always swung his sword and cut off his troubled heart.
Looking at the green grass with her trembling eyes, El finally pulled out the hilt of her sword and pulled out her sharp blade.
A brilliance stood on the blade.
It was a dazzling radiance that shone in pure white.
A martial art built by wielding a sword every single day for hundreds of years. In the hands of the elves, the swordsmanship that reached the stage of life and death began to be engraved as an absolute form that far transcended life and death.
‘I hope they return safely.’
The oath of the elves, who pulled out the hilt in the densely green forest, began to dance a beautiful sword dance while expressing the feelings of longing on the blade.
Fast,
And perfectly,
On top of the swordsmanship that contained the sadness of losing his only blood relative, the form was completed by newly capturing the longing for the man he loved.
For El Cid, black is a vessel that holds emotions, and is also a mirror that reflects emotions.
The lofty hero of the sky,
El Cid
