The Amber Sword

“Dear sister, when are you going to pretend to sleep? ”

The teenager stood beside his cousin's bed with his head crooked and smiled for a while before answering. His tone was gentle and sweet as if it were honey, but the sarcasm in his tone was chilling.

Dilfrey coughed gently and a morbid red faint flew onto her white cheek, her brushy eyelashes slowly widening, revealing a bright and clear pair of eyes below her brother. It's hard to hide weakness deep in your eyes, but it burns the flames of hatred.

“What do you want, Acre? ”

“You heard what I said, don't you know what I'm doing?” Juvenile bows down and looks into her sister's eyes, "hand over the Swallow Fort's Folding Ring and I'll spare you today. ”

“What if I say no?” Dilfiry looked away with some fear.

The teenager grinned, grabbed her chin and pulled her face back. He looked greedily at this face, which belonged to his sister: "Don't you think I dare touch you, dear sister? ”

“You're crazy!” Dilfiry read that fanatical possession from her brother's eyes, and she was trembling in fear or anger. The girl's face turns pale, and at this moment the bloodstain fades and becomes almost transparent, crystal clear as a jade.

“What a perfect masterpiece, my old dazed uncle can give birth to a daughter like you. ”

The teenager grinned and one of her hands pressed against her chest. “On the count of three, tell me where the Swallow Fort's Folding Ring is, otherwise don't blame me for being rude. ”

“I.”

“Two.”

The Countess was slightly wary, but she stubbornly closed her eyes. She knows very well that her elder brother is by no means the kind of man who promises to make a promise. If she talks here, then waiting for her must be a tragic fate.

“Touch me, Akram, and you'll never get that ring again.” Delphirie forced herself to calm down and replied coldly. The Folding Ring of Swallow Castle is a relic of the Earl of Swallow Castle passed down from one generation to the next from the time of the Sifah dynasty. It is as if the Sword of the Lion's Heart were in Eruin. The Blade of Fire is in the Cruz Empire. Without this ring, the Earl of Swallow Castle would never have been able to speak properly.

“Wrong answer, three.” The teenager grinned, “My dear sister, you made a mistake. Do you think this ring really matters to me, that the position of Earl of Swallow Castle is mine sooner or later, and that the presence or absence of those objects doesn't matter to me at all, and I'm more interested in you than that. ”

As he said, he ripped the first copper button off Val Ferret's chest.

“Ah--!” Dilfrey felt a cold in her chest and a snowy skin had been exposed, and she couldn't help but scream: “Akle, you're really crazy! ”

The Countess finally got scared, and she struggled hard. But in exchange, the teenager answered maniacally, "Yes, I'm crazy, my dear sister, but you asked for it! ”

Saying, he pushed weak and powerless Delphiry back to bed. “I'll give you one last chance, Delphirie, the Swallow Fort family ring.” Akris roared.

“I will not die for you, Akram.” The Countess shed tears powerlessly.

“Then go to hell. ”

But the teenager's voice just dropped, and a cold voice said, "Yes, I think some animals should die. ”

“Who!”

The sudden sound turned Akram back to his chestnut, but all he saw was the door behind him scattered around like a piece of paper, a black sword stabbed out of it, and the next moment had come to him.

“No," the handsome teenager screamed, “Where the fuck are you, Anurek? ”

……

Nia recovered only after a brief period of unconsciousness, as if she had slowly returned from a long dream. All she remembered was that she seemed to have a nightmare, one of the demons she least liked to see.

A conversation gradually became clearer from this sleep:

“Brando, after what happened to Ambethel, I'm going to Tony Gale with you. ”

“Your Highness...”

“What's wrong, don't welcome me? ”

“No, I'm just a little confused. Why would Her Royal Highness suddenly want to go to a place like that in the middle of nowhere? Honestly, I'd rather stay in Ambethel if I could. ”

“Because I had a best friend who had been secretly abducted back to my territory by a lord, she was my best friend, and I was injured because of me, and I had to see her. ”

The man's voice suddenly coughed awkwardly.

The two voices were distant and close, and the knight took a moment to realize that it was Her Royal Highness and the Countess. So the Count is awake? She thought, and then she got up unconsciously and wanted to go out to greet —— she was a little strange, how she fell asleep all of a sudden.

But she moved slightly and found her hands tied backwards. In fact, she's all tied back to a pillar. Nia woke up all of a sudden and everything that had happened seemed to go right back to her memory.

“Miss Delphirie!” The knight couldn't help but scream and suddenly opened her eyes and saw that the front lobby door had been squeaked open by Brando and Her Royal Highness.

She immediately saw the waitress beside them.

And Brando saw the knight tied to the column at a glance, and of course he remembered the cowgirl knight. When he first met Delphirie, he handed her a hand. He remembered that the other party was supposed to be Nia, a close knight of Delphiry.

“But what's this all about?” He immediately changed his face.

“What the hell is going on here?” Her Royal Highness also questioned the maid's way.

Before they entered the courtyard outside, they saw the maid standing outside with a pale face, but asked what had happened and could not answer. He and Princess Griffin rushed in when they realized something was wrong and opened the door without even knocking on it. I didn't think opening the door was such a sight.

Brando rushed to Nia step by step to help the knight untie the rope and remove the cloth that stuffed her mouth. Nia felt the foreign body in her mouth empty and, before she could catch her breath, immediately shouted to Brando: "Mr. Brando, go save Miss Delphirie! ”

“Where is she? What happened?" Brando's face changed.

He and the princess left the 'Lucetia' arms and armor store and came to visit the countess temporarily. Because Her Royal Highness mentioned that Delphiry's condition was not very good, the imposition of the Devil's Ring caused her to overrun her life dramatically, and although she ultimately saved her life, she was likely to have to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.

Brando had come to comfort the Countess, but he had anticipated the result that the King of Demons could not be controlled by anyone. At that time, everyone thought they were going to die to let Delphiry use this method, but it wasn't the young girl from Swallow Castle who left the greatest trauma after the First World War.

But in Brando's view, this is not irreparable, at least the legendary Fountain of Life in the Black Forest can solve the problem perfectly. Of course, the Fountain of Life is just a vain legend for the average person, but not necessarily for him, and Brando doesn't think it's possible to go into the Black Forest and look for the Fountain of Life just for a few more days.

Until then, of course, he felt it was necessary to reassure Valfarian.

I didn't expect this to happen.

Actually, Nia hasn't spoken yet, and Brando more or less guesses who the enemy is. The only trouble that can come to this countess now is the tripartite force, the demon, but the demon's revenge will not come so fast, and even if the king of chaos wants revenge, he will look for him first, not for this countess.

The rest is the Temple of Fire, but the use of magic can be quite small, and it is clear that the Temple of Fire will no longer slap itself at this juncture. Besides, they don't kidnap nobles by such unseemly means? Speak of the Temple of Fire and you can close the door.

Then all that's left is a struggle within the Swallow Castle family to win. As a matter of fact, Brando realized that there might have been a problem with the Fort Dilfrey as early as the first time he sneaked into the estate, otherwise he wouldn't have let a girl from the Fort Dilfrey come to represent the Count of Fort Dilfrey, and he would have brought with him nearly the strongest fighting force inside the Fort Dilfrey.

But what he didn't expect was that the Ambethel war had just come to an end, and that the nobles who knew not to live had come to him in trouble. And it's still a direct shot at Delphirie.

Brando's anger caught on fire.

“The lady is upstairs in her room, and someone is going against her...! ”

“Which room is she in?” The knight's words were interrupted by Brando before she finished. The cold tone of the young lord gave Nia a a slight glimpse of why she was so angry.

In her view, Brando was one of the culprits who made Delphirie look like this. She didn't have much of a crush on Brando, but now she had to answer weakly: “Count the third room upstairs to the left, please help the lady quickly...”

The weak words of the female knight were not finished, Brando's sword of the earth had fallen out of its sheath, and the dark blade of the sword reflected a slight chill in her heart. She felt completely the kind of killing that had been unleashed on the young lord, and the next moment Brando disappeared before her.

Cruz's flashing sword.

Brando uses a flashing sword. He waved his sword backwards toward a pillar in an empty corridor on the second floor, severed it with a sword and then landed steadily on the corridor through it.

The door to Delphirie's room is already in front of him.

But it was at this time that Brando's acute hearing made him happen to have finished the final conversation between Acre and Delphirie. That's okay. I almost didn't piss Brando off when I heard it.

Is that a human being?

Though he had long known of the horrible rumours among the nobles of Eruin, he, as a brother, could have done this to his sister. It is absolutely unacceptable for Brando to have half the soul of a modern man, or the heart of a young man from Bucci's simplicity.

His heart was so cold that it was only when he saw what Groudin had done with his own eyes in Cold Cedar Castle. The elements of space solidified with the anger of its owner, and Brando had not yet developed a sword, and a white frost centred on him and opened up in all directions.

Brando forwards a sword.

The door was torn apart, and he saw the stunned face. He's handsome, but ugly as a demon.
