As if to protect me from anything, the back standing in front of me was immense and immovable.

  Astana looked at Perez as if he was underestimating Perez.

  "You dare to aim your sword at me……?"

  Maybe you forgot the sword in your hand.

  Astana said, gritted his teeth in anger.

  I pretended to see my father, to see the situation behind me.

  My grandfather got up halfway from his seat, staring at Astana with her burning and killing gaze, and my father was white-faced and tried to run to save me.

  But, my father stopped because of a hand holding his arm.

  It was Emperor Jovanes.

  "Your Majesty?"

  My father got surprised, but the emperor did not look at him.

  They were watching the two children standing with their swords at each other with interesting faces.

  When the Emperor’s reaction was like that, the Knights who tried to intervene also retreated.

  Then Astana was rather excited.

  It’s seemed to me, he thinks the emperor had taken his side and laid a platform for stepping on Perez.

  The tip of the sword, still aiming at me, touched me like a smiling face.

  "What are you going to do? I think you’ve started confidently today. Know your place……"

  Astana, who laughed at Perez in the middle, stopped talking and took turns looking at Perez with me.

  "Ah, you both have lowly mothers, so must feel the same thing?"

  As expected from Astana.

  "I mean, I’ll get you two."

  "Your Majesty the First Prince!"

  Eventually, my father, who couldn’t stand it, vented his anger.

  However, Astana, who glanced at my father, confirmed the Emperor who was still silent and continued to sarcastic.

  "Do you dare aim your sword at me, the only heir of the Empire?"

  Astana said so and swung his sword heavily.

  Of course, you would have thought you would win.

  But when Perez was so small and young he already learning swordsmanship, the period of learning swordsmanship is longer than yours.

  With all his might, the weight-bearing sword came out and fell toward Perez.

  No, it must be me behind Peres who was still being targeted by the sword tip.

  I stared straight at Astana without backing down.

  "What, what?"

  To see that face.

  The top of Astana’s confident sword was cut off and fell to the floor.4

  It was a very neat cross-section.

  "This is now……"

  Astana, who looked at his sword cut in half, speechless for a long time.

  Then he yelled at Perez.

  "You, you bastard! What a cowardly move!"

  "Get back."

  "What kind of cowardice did you do?"2

  Look at that crazy guy.

  "Ahhhhhh!"

  He screamed because he couldn’t beat Perez and he looked around.

  "Nooo, Your Majesty the Prince! No!"

  "Give me!"

  The knight, who couldn’t completely block the Prince’s hand, ended up losing his sword to Astana.

  Shouldn’t it be prevented?

  The knight looked at the Emperor with such eyes, but there was no movement.

  The knight, unable to hold the Prince’s body without permission, only looks at his sword in Astana’s hand.

  "Kuooow!"

  Astana now swung the Knight’s sword while screaming.

  The unique golden sword of the Imperial Knights flashed.

  However.

  Tuwook.

  The results were the same as before. A sword cut in half and fell onto the carpet.

  Now Astana couldn’t say anything.

  He breathed and stared blankly at the sword that had been cut off.

  "Uh, how……"

  Then, Perez’s sword moved smoothly.

  It was a smooth motion as if water was flowing.

  "If you don’t want to die, I told you to step back."

  Huoung.

  Along with the low resonance sound, blue light fluttered through Perez’s sword.

  "Oh!"

  "Oh, come on!"

  Everyone was astonished to recognize the true identity of the blue light.

  At the age of thirteen, no one had ever emitted an aura.

  The vivid blue color.

  "Hey, that’s ridiculous……"

  Astana was rubbing his eyes now.

  "How could you……"

  Like Astana, like Belsach.4

  Do you can’t get rid of that "you" thing.

  Even after seeing his sword cut like tofu twice, and you still can’t believe it.

  "Cancel it."

  The tip of Perez’s sword with a blue aura swaying towards Astana.

  "I said half-blood, cancel it."

  It was different from Astana’s sword, which constantly shaking.

  Perez’s sword, without even a bit of shaking, was threatening to stab Astana at any moment.

  "I…… I’ll apologize to you……"

  "Not me."

  Perez said, pushing the sword further into Astana’s neck.

  Huh? Me?

  Naturally, I thought he was referring to me which is said to be half-blood, I looked at Perez in surprise.

  Perez’s red eyes sunk darkly.

  His sharp eyes, as sharp as a sword blade, glared at Astana.

  He was really angry at Astana who called me a half-blood.

  "Stop."

  It was the Emperor.

  "Let the sword down."

  But Perez was still aiming at Astana.

  It looked like he had no intention of lowering his sword.

  I stabbed Perez in the side that no one else could see.

  If he disobeys the Emperor’s words and gets blacklisted, it will be a headache!

  Fortunately, Perez slowly lowered his sword.

  Then Astana suddenly shouted.

  "It must be magic!"

  Pointing to Perez with his finger, he said as if he was angry with the Emperor.

  "Otherwise, how!"

  "Stop, Astana."

  Said the Emperor frowning.

  "But Your Majesty! He aimed his sword at me! To me!"

  "Didn’t the First Prince hit my granddaughter first?"

  My grandfather cut off Astana’s words.

  "Well, that……"

  "The only sin of the Second Prince was to protect my granddaughter from the First Prince who aimed the sword."1

  Astana looked at the Emperor hoping for help, but Jovanes didn’t seem to have any idea.

  He became the perfect bystander and just looked at the situation.

  "Apologize!."

  Even at the words of my grandfather, Astana was just standing energetically.

  My grandfather told the Emperor that there was no sign of reflection.

  "It seems that First Prince is still angry, so it would be better to cool his head alone."

  "It would be better to do that."

  Jovanes, who immediately agreed with my grandfather’s words, glanced at the Knights.

  "Let this go! Ahhh! Let go of this!"

  Astana struggled when both of his arms were pulled by the Knights one by one.

  While looking at it, I clicked my tongue.

  Astana was pulled outside, and the room finally became quiet.

  "Are you alright?"

  Perez asked me.

  "Yeah, it’s fine……"

  While I tried to answer without thinking, I thought about where I was now.

  Just as expected.

  The Emperor was watching us.

  "It’s okay. Thank you."

  After politely saying hello to Perez, I turned right away.

  However, the Emperor’s strange gaze does not fall from me.

  It bothers me why he keeps doing that?

  I pretended to be as fine as possible and walked away with an expressionless face.

  "Tia! Are there any injuries?"

  My father stepped over and knelt on one knee, lowered himself and hugged me tightly, and asked.

  "You are not hurt?. Oh, by the way……"

  He looked down on a dress that was torn by Astana.

  "Oh…… my Tia’s elaborate dress is torn."

  That stupid thing.

  The silk, which I thought was only torn a little, was torn very badly and couldn’t be repaired.

  I should have been whispering to Perez to stab him earlier.3

  If I did, he would have stabbed Astana without any hesitation.

  I thought that somehow.

  "I apologize for Astana’s rudeness instead."

  For some reason Emperor Jovanes said.

  "And Perez."

  "Yes, Your Majesty."

  "Well done. If you’re a man, you should know how to stand up for a woman."

  "……"

  Peres probably couldn’t find a word to answer.

  He just looked at me for a while and then nodded slightly.

  "But I was also surprised. I don’t think you would run right away like that."

  Jovanes looked at Perez interestingly.

  "It must have been because the First Prince dared to pull the sword in front of His Majesty."

  Grandpa stopped the conversation sensibly.

  My grandfather was the only one who knew that I and Perez know each other and that we had been in close friendship for a long time.

  "Hmm. Is that so……"

  The Emperor had now returned to his usual easy-going face as if he had forgotten Astana.

  It was completely different from my father, who has still hugged me and was anxious.

  "But this is the first time that Perez showed such an appearance……"

  "Don’t put too much meaning, Your Majesty."

  "Yes, that’s wonderful. How does it look, Gallahan?"

  My father, who had been patting me on the back, stopped.

  "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

  "Since your daughter and Perez are the same age, why don’t you let her befriend? Looking at their personality, the two seem to get along quite well."2

  No, which part?1

  I was dumbfounded.

  It seemed the same for both my grandfather and father.

  Perez was the only one whose eyes were glistened at the Emperor’s words.2

  "……It would be nice to wake up today."

  My grandfather said with a stiff complexion.

  Her lips were twitching in exasperation.

  "Let’s go, Gallahan."

  "……Yes, father."

  My father also answered and raised the body that knelt on one knee.

  Beetle.

  My father’s body shook.

  "Dad?"

  I held my father’s hand leaning to one side.

  "Gallahan? Why?"

  "Oh, no. Maybe one leg is numb……"

  "Gallahan!"

  My grandfather shouted out loud.

  However, my father’s body began to fall to one side again.13

  Poop, thump!1

  A loud and heavy sound rang on the floor.

  "Uh uh……"

  My father also sat on the floor and looked puzzled because he didn’t understand the situation.

  "What’s going on?"

  Grandfather asked.

  "I do not know. Why is the right leg like this……"

  My father’s hand-stretched and rubbed his right leg.

  "Is it better to call a doctor?"

  Jovanes also approached and asked insignificantly.

  While everyone was confused without knowing the situation, I gritted my teeth.

  It finally started.10

  A disease in which one side of the body gradually does not listen and spreads rapidly, and eventually the body loses the ability to exercise.

  Eventually, the paralysis reaches the chest, so the sufferer cannot open his eyes and breathe, and then dies of pain.

  Tlenbrew, which killed my father, started to catch on.
