Perez, who flopped down next to me, said, washing his face dry.
It was a very tired voice.
After having lunch with my father, I met Perez again near the smoke screen on the annex side.
âSo⌠You had breakfast with my father and grandfather?â
My father who took Perez out of my room in the morning took him to the main dining room where my grandfather was having breakfast.
I just havenât seen him in a few hours.
But Perez had a very tired face for that moment.
âWas that breakfast? I feel like itâs been a few hours.â
âIt was only four hours ago.â
âAhâŚâ
Perez replied blankly with a face that seemed to be fluttering in the autumn wind blowing his hair.
âNow stop your mind about it, Perez. Oh, there they come.â
I got up after tapping on Perezâs back.
It was because I could see people waiting in the distance approaching.
âTia!â
âTia!â
It was Gilliu and Mayron who found me and ran away with dirt and dust.
The Knights of Lombardy have been training camps over the past few months, so I have not met the twins for quite some time.
Horse camp training. Itâs more of pole training.
The atmosphere of the two had changed a lot in those months.
âLong time no see!â
âI missed you!â
Although their unique mischievous smile didnât change at all.
âI heard you two became a tithe leader. Congratulations.â
It was the news I heard in advance through Shannanet.
âI heard in the history of the Knights of Lombardy that people who are promoted as fast as you two are among the best.â
The twins shrugged at my words.
âOf course, of course! Who are we!â
âJust in case, just because weâre Lombardy doesnât mean weâre convenient.â
âRight, that nasty piece of work. Ugh.â
The twins trembled, talking about the Knights of Lombardy.
Then, another person came from behind the twins.
âHello, Lady Lombardy.â
âAs expected, you look good in a sword suit, Lady Brown.â
Ramona, who tied her thick and vivid red hair up high, laughed a little embarrassed by my compliment.
âThank you, Lady, but why did you call me in this outfit todayâŚ?â
Ramona looked at the twins and Perez with a slightly confused look, blurring her speech.
âWe have business with that over there.â
âYou havenât forgotten, Your Highness the Second Prince?â
Perez rose from his seat at the provocation the twins confidently made.
Where does the person who was sitting with a pale complexion go?
Perez, who stood up holding the sword lying next to him, looked down slightly at the twins, who were a little shorter than him, curled up one corner of his mouth.
âAlone? Or, it would be nice to just fight with two people at once, which will shorten the time.â
âWhat, what?â
âWeâre not who we used to be!â
This time, the twins burst out at Perezâs provocation.
The three began to growl as if they would start hitting their swords at any moment.
âWait.â
But I cut in between and said.
âIt shouldnât be a confrontation between the two and Perez.â
Gilliu laughed triumphantly at my words.
âSure, sure, Iâm alone is enoughâŚâ
âNo, even the Lady Brown is united and the three of you are dealing with Perez.â
âTi, TiaâŚâ
The twins looked at me with a devastated look on their faces, but it was not the time to be swayed by such things.
There was something else I wanted to check now.
* * *
âTcsk.â
Mayron clicked his tongue quietly.
It was because Perez, standing in front of his eyes with a sword, felt like a wall.
âDamn it.â
The same as his brother Gilliu, a low murmur heard from a distance.
Mayron looked away from Gilliu and looked at Ramona Brown.

Tia already knows the story of the famous Brown family.
It is now called the âImperial Swordsmanshipâ, but it was known to anyone who learned the sword in the Empire that the original form was the âBrown Swordsmanshipâ of the Brown family.
And the fact that the Brown family had released the swordsmanship, the secret of the family, solely for the prosperity of the Empire.
For Mayron, a Knight of Lombardy but also a Knight of the Empire, being able to match swordsmanship with someone from the Brown family was an honorable thing to be proud of to anyone in the future.
âCome.â
Then Perez spoke lowly.
It was a very small voice, but Gilliu, Mayron, and Ramona jumped out to Perez without hesitation.
âHa!â
Gilliu launched the first attack.
It was a very sharp and fast sword, digging into Perezâs side.
Clang! Clang!
But Gilliuâs sword attack was too easily blocked by Perez.
But Mayron aimed at the gap.
He took a big step and drew the sword sideways.
It was an attack aimed at the front of Perez, who had been empty to block Gilliuâs sword.
Gruk!
The sound of blades clashing against each other was heard strongly.
When Mayron opened his eyes wide, the swords of Gilliu, Mayron, and Perez were already tangled.
Perez just stepped back and opened his body to block two swords flying from different directions at once.
âUgh!â
In an instant, a painful moan erupted from Gilliuâs mouth, whose hand holds the sword snapped.
It was then.
Whoosh!
A heavy sword fell sharply with an eerie wave of sound.
âBreak!â
Perez recoiled the twinâs sword and leaned back sharply.
The red hair fluttered greatly in the place where the sharp tip of the sword was narrowly deflected.
Ramona, who recovered her ferocious sword, fixed her sword and grabbed it.
Then began to thrust the sword long into Perez.

Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of an arrow flying rang from Ramonaâs sword.
âThatâs it!â
Gilliu and Mayron realized at the same time.
Ramonaâs sword technique is one of the Imperial Sword tests.
The twins also grabbed the sword and joined the attack.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
At the same time, three swords flew in after Perez.
Eventually, the tip of Mayronâs sword scratched Perezâs forearm shallowly.
Splash!
Red blood splattered with a small noise.
Gilliuâs sword aimed at Perezâs leg and stabbed it.
As soon as the blade penetrated, Perezâs body shook wildly.
âItâs an opportunity!â
The twins thought at the same time.
Finally, they naturally moved the center of their body to poke the sword harder.
But at that moment, Perezâs body disappeared as if he had completely disappeared from the place.
They turned their body late following Perez, who suddenly disappeared from view, but it was too late.
Perez had already escaped the siege of the swordsmanship that Gilliu and Mayron had made.
âUgh!â
To catch up with Perez, the two squeezed their chest and turned their bodies forcibly, but they couldnât come out of the body that was already distracted.
Eventually, they managed to correct their staggering bodies and tasted a sense of defeat.
After deliberately driving the attacking ones to one side, they couldnât help but escape as if disappearing.
Totally played by Perezâs movement.
The twins, who raised their heads, were already convinced that Perez would be looking at them triumphantly from afar.
By the way.
âGhost, thatâs awesome!â
Mayron cried out despite himself.
Perez stood still, unable to pull out his body as much as he wanted.
âLa, Lady BrownâŚâ
Ramonaâs sword was embedded in the ground.
With the hem of Perezâs robe tightly closed.
At that point, Perez once gave strength to tear it apart, but that gap made a huge difference in the duel situation.
Sometimes even life and death.
If someone had taken that brief opportunity that Ramona had created and stabbed a new sword, Perez would already be out of action.
ââŚI lost.â
But the declaration of surrender flowed from Ramona.
Because Perezâs sword tip lay in front of her neck.
It was because Perez decided to kill Ramona, who lost her sword to use, after a momentary judgment that he could not move his body.
âIf it had been a real battle situation, Ramonaâs sacrifice would have given the twins a chance to get the right blow. Good job.â
Perez took the sword in front of Ramonaâs face, speaking briefly.
At the end of the battle, the twins cheered and ran to Ramona.
âAwesome! What the hell did you do!â
âRight! Youâre obviously starting to stretch your swords later than us!â
âHow could you turn your body around already? It seemed to be moving twice as fast as us in a moment!â
âIâm sure youâre doing the same Imperial Swordsmanship as we are!â
âIt was completely different!â
Then a new voice interrupted the twins.
âWould you both step back a little? Lady Brown was surprised.â
It was Tia.
As she said, Ramona, who had wielded a threatening sword a little while ago, was blushing embarrassingly.
âBut itâs because Tia doesnât know much about it. Apparently, sheâs running the same Imperial Swordsmanship, and sheâs the only one whoâs different!â
âShe has fewer muscles and weaker strength than us! Of course, itâs normal to be slow!â
âReally? Did it feel that different?â
Tia asked in a quiet voice.
âOf course! Iâve never seen a move like that in my experienced seniors, no, my leader!â
Mayron replied with great excitement.
âFor a moment, I thought she was using a different swordsmanship, not an Imperial Swordsmanship alone!â
âItâs not Imperial Swordsmanship, itâs a different swordsmanshipâŚâ
Tia nodded when she heard the twinsâ intense feelings.
And she looked at Ramona with a sweet smile.
âAs expected, then what is it? It would be very useful if you use this well.â
