Chapter 118
As she said, there was a bluish light in Lapel's hands. Just in time, the place was a dark dungeon, so the light stood out even more. Seeing this, Lapel froze in place as if he were a stone. Anyone what this light meant.
“No way, it can't be…….”
Slowly, in disbelief, Rafel reached out and scratched the prison's stone walls. The bluish fingertips pierced the rocky wall so easily. Anyone who saw it would have thought it was like scraping out cookie crumbs.
Rafel blankly looked down at his fingertips his. With this, it became clear that he had manifested the sword master's aura. But why now? It's a level that I couldn't reach when I swung a sword and sweated so much in the training ground Even now, Lafel wasn't particularly swinging his sword. I'm happy, but I was literally dumbfounded.
At this time, there was a sentence that suddenly passed through Lapel's head his.
'Sword Master is a state that is reached with the mind, not with the sword.'
This was what I read when looking through the records of existing sword masters. Lafel, who was chewing on this inwardly, realized at some point. Anyway, the level of swordsmanship, the most talented swordsmen could climb. Than that, to become a sword master, he had to reach a state of mind.
'… I think I know what it is now.'
Rafel's eyes, which had a belated realization, shone with excitement. What 'state of mind' meant was, without a doubt, referring to the mindset of training the sword.
Rafel has been gritting his teeth and practicing the sword every single day. However, his purpose was none other than his own success. It was to protect his pride his, which was easily hurt by others. However, it was impossible for him to reach the level of a sword master.
Recently, however, Rafel's mindset has completely changed.He no longer wanted to take up the sword for himself, but for the woman he loved.He wanted to become stronger to protect her.And this attitude of Lapel appeared as an unexpected miracle of being a sword master.
“Is this the Auror? Have you become a sword master?”
Just in time, Annette asked in a trembling voice.As far as she knew, it took about four years for Rafel to become a sword master.But I couldn't figure out why the timing was pulled so early.
Annette was surprised and embarrassed because she could not guess the reason.It was so sudden that I couldn't immediately determine whether this was a good or a bad thing.Unlike Annette, who was anxious, Lapel had a place to guess. He responded calmly and patted Annette's shoulder her.
“… Okay. Maybe so. I'll have to check it out some more.”
Lapel's voice, which had finally reached the desired level, was slightly locked. However, his face was more confident than ever. Gently pulling Annette, he slammed the brand on his lips her as if swearing on his white forehead her. A pious manner.
“The only person my sword wants to protect is you, Annette.”
Lapel knew instinctively.The fact that he himself became her sword master her is probably her heavenly revelation her to him to protect her.Like that feeling, it was as if someone was holding her hand her and giving her strength her.So he had to protect Annette.
He was no longer the one who always kept his nerves on edge like a wild animal, biting at random.Annette finally made him a human from a beast.So he had to be with her.Because she was the only reason for her own life. Her her.
“Lapel….”
Annette raised her head in his arms Her Rafel's eyes looking down at him were especially deep The moment she looked into his eyes Her his Annette realized He will never dwell on the loneliness of being alone again .
The unseen future was still bleak.And there were still many challenges ahead of them.But it was fine.At least in this fight, you won't be alone.

Celestine, mad to the point of her hair Her stormed out of her parlor Behind her she heard her father's voice calling her, 'Sally!' She was pretending to be angry.
Although the Marquis of Keirs might not be a good head of household, he was the greatest father to his family. Even when the world pointed at him as a public wife, he always steadfastly put his wife and daughter first. Darkening his eyes. Because of this, Celestine was about to die from the tightness in her chest.
'Well, it was n't Annette who did it! She is also a victim !! Even if the real criminal is different !!! Why do n't you believe me?'
Celestine has had the same argument with her father her on several occasions already.However, the Marquis of Keirs did not readily believe her words of her.He thought that cunning Bayern was cheating on his daughter.At this time, Bayern's cold-blooded image worked in a bad way.
'How can you stand up for those who did that to you, Shelly? It is you who are being deceived!! Bavarians are heartless people who will stab your heart with a dagger without batting an eye.
The deep scars left by her abduction her were not limited to Celestine.It was a scar etched into the heart of everyone in her family who loved her.
At the time, the Marquis of Keirs was literally shocked. Her cherished daughter was kidnapped unknownst to her, and she almost suffered a bad fate. He was not alive until he got her daughter her back her. Even at this moment, her blood ran dry, not knowing where her daughter her was going through. She couldn't get water or food to her mouth her, so she frantically tore her hair out her.
At that time, the Marquis of Keirs was acutely aware of his incompetence. He was indeed a foolish father. He thought that wealth and fame were not so important as long as he had a family. He didn't care if others thought of me as a fallen nobleman. Because he had a precious wife and daughter who could not be replaced with anything.
'But the reality was that I couldn't even protect my family without power.'
Blue-blooded Bavaria, Deltium, the noblest bloodline excluding the royal family. I am the best swordsman who shoots down birds. There, her princess her kidnapped her own daughter, considering her a thorn in her eye her. And get rid of her without anyone knowing her.
The Marquis of Keirs, who almost lost her golden daughter her, literally went mad. He raised his voice and appealed to the royal family for Annette's punishment. He prayed that the king would take his side and imprison the impudent Bavarian princess. The side of the powerless.
'Let's cover this quietly and move on. That would be good for your girlfriend too. After all, a princess should be a flawless woman. I mean, do you understand what I mean? Marquis of Keirs. All of this is for Miss Celestine .'
At that moment, Marquis Keirs realized. The reason Bayern was not punished was because she herself was powerless. He thought so, not knowing that the King had other plans for Bavaria. .
His own daughter His was now destined to become Crown Princess, whether she liked it or not. If so, the number of people who were targeting her would increase as more people followed her, but it would never decrease. Have the strength to protect his daughter her. If this happens again, he won't be able to do anything, just tearing his hair out like he did back then. The Marquis of Keirs was heartbroken by this fact.
It was then. What the king had secretly whispered to him.
'… Certainly, Bayern's tyranny goes too far. It seems now is the time to put an end to their endless solo run. I think it's time for their checks to come in. Even for our children who will lead the country in the future. What do you think?'
That was right.The Marquis of Kears was willing to become the royal dog to protect her daughter her.Even so, if her Celestine is safe, she will dedicate her whole body her to block her arrows her with her own body her. Was the father's duty her.
However, there was one fact that the Marquis Keirs did not know. It was that there was a guest in the annex on the side Celestine had just run out of. Of course, the identity of the guest was Annette Bavaria, whom he hated intensely until just now.
