The Branded Female Fencer

"Fools have to die to fix it."

"Ah... no. Ahhh!

Ekla was ready to die and closed her eyes, but at no time did the pain come. When Ekla opened his rough eyes, Alphilis' left arm was wrapped around a rope used in the catch. The schemer is Ven. And from behind it, Hausen appeared, controlling Alphilis.

"Lord Alphilis. Can you make it that far?"

"If Chancellor Hausen says so"

Alphilis took the blade off and pulled strength out of his whole body to show that he had no will to fight. Ekla, who was grabbing up at the same time, falls powerless to the ground.

"Uty! Treat him!

"Yes, yes."

With that voice, Uty literally flies out of the shade of the tree. And I started treating Ekla quickly. Utility complains of bumps while fixing that wound.

"I didn't know you were really going to kill him."

"No way. That was a decent move. The scratches on my cheeks are very shallow, and I didn't do it to leave a scar. I don't want to be chased by Ediod."

"Come on, I did ask you to put your daughter away, but I didn't tell you to do it this far. I would have ordered this Venn to do what he already did."

Hausen was sighing.

"Damn, though you have a brief meeting ahead of time, you're really not hesitant. If I'd been around a little longer, I'd have cut my brains out and put Venn on it, wouldn't I?

"Sure, I was distressed, too, but if I'm going to do it anyway, I need to make sure. I shouldn't be halfway there. Besides, if Mr. Venn comes in, I'm not gonna stop, am I?

"He's a good joker. Venn looks like this and is one of the leading sword users in this country. I've had enough of a duel with a general who's been disrespectful to me to beat him. You think you can beat that Ven?

Alphilis smiled and flushed as Hausen said somewhat boastfully. And when he crouches toward Ekla, who begins to breathe, Alphilis looks a little sorry.

"I'm sorry. But if it wasn't for me, no one would be able to do this to you."

Ekla leaned down, frightened by fear. But apparently he didn't listen to Alpha Reese, so Alpha Reese continued.

"You seemed confident in your skill, but that's a big mistake. Do you think the Duke's Lady and Chancellor's daughter has a knight who can wield his sword with all his might? They were all out of control. If you don't realize it and you're going to be strong, you're going to kill many of your men in the future. Because you..."

"I know, that's not true!

Ekla suddenly screamed out loud, so the utility she was treating came behind her. Waking up that utility, now Alphilis looks surprised.

"Well, then."

"So what do you want me to do? I am from the Duke's house. I must be strong, but no one ever taught me how! I know I'm not even very strong. But no one should tell me the truth, and I, I..."

Ekla was swallowed with whimpers as Uti's treatment ended and his nosebleeds didn't stop at Loc. Those around him stood on the spot without words, but as they were, Sakari and Ekra fell into the spot, and returned to me all the time.

"Ekla!?

"It's okay, I just lost my mind because of my nosebleeds and lack of acid from hyperventilation."

As Alphilis and Hausen worry, Utility checks on Ekla's condition. You've never seen my daughter cry before, and Hausen didn't seem to calm down in her heart either.

"... Alphilis, was I hunting down my daughter?

"What makes you think that?

The tone of the answering alphilis is also sincere at all times.

"I have taught my daughter, 'The Duke is graceful'. But you're human with me. There are shortcomings and there are times when failures are committed. But I have tried to keep such occasions from showing them to my daughter whenever possible. I wanted to be the ideal father in front of my daughter. My daughter probably grew up seeing only me like that. Was that wrong?

"I don't know if it's a mistake. But this kid must be a sharp kid. Probably. While I understood Mr. Hausen's care somewhere, I went for more upstairs. Isn't that all? Well, maybe it's a little clumsy."

Alphilis lay down on the ground and squealed with tender eyes as he watched Ekla being nursed by Uty and Venn. And when he saw Ekla, which was carried by Venn in his arms, the will of Alphilis was consolidated.

Mr. Hausen, I need to talk to you.

Alphilis' eyes were shining brightly when she made important decisions.

"Ugh..."

"Did you wake up?

When Ekla slowly opened her eyes, it was on the bed in her private room. Alphilis by the bed. Venn held back in the corner of the room again. When Ekla woke up, the classicist at her house checked her condition and when he found out that nothing was going on, he took his assistant out.

On that bed, Ekla stares into the void. In that vision, suddenly the face of Alphilis appears all the way out.

"Wow!"

"... something?

"I'm not saying I'm surprised, but you react a little bit."

I tried to surprise Ekla. Alphilis mumbled with dissatisfaction, but as soon as I saw Ekla seemed uninteresting, I went back to my serious face.

"Ekla, we need to talk."

"What is it?

"It's your personality, so let's get straight to it. You, come to my mercenary regiment."

Alphilis wondered if Ekla would be surprised by the words, but Ekla replied without moving at all.

"Can you tell me to be a mercenary?

"I'm not. Exactly. I don't get the Chancellor's daughter to be a mercenary... but my mercenary regiment just got up and I'm still short on talent. But if you're good enough to help the Chancellor, I'm guessing you own the clerical work that sets up the mercenary corps. What do you think? Oh, if you really want to be a mercenary, I won't stop. Mr. Hausen will be angry, but because I will do everything I can to assist him."

Ekla was slightly frightened by Alphilis, who said so much and was not bad at all. First of all, the word itself does not assume that Ekla will not be one of his own. Besides, do you even imagine what impression the person you hit with a ghost shape earlier has on you?

But while Ekla was frightened, she didn't feel bad watching Alphilis smile like she'd been drained of poison. Unlike herself, Ekla thought she really gained.

"(If I were like this, would I have done it a little better...?

"Look at my face."

"Nothing. I just thought it was an interesting face"

"Nha."

Alphilis was now taken aback by Ekla's words. The way it looked was so ridiculous that Venn laughed, thinking it was rude too, and Ekla finally laughed. On second thought, Ekla wonders when it's been since I laughed.

"hehe... haha"

"Oh, that's so funny. My face?

"Yeah, yeah. Very."

I'm not really, but Ekla laughed unexpectedly. Her insides have already been decided. She was already interested in Alphilis. Its character I wouldn't shy away from with the Duke's daughter. The same is true of strength, and I envy her more than anything for her loving personality, and Ekla was somewhat fascinated by Alphilis. We had dinner together many times. I am also finally aware that she is actually a highly educated woman. That is also why I can say that Ekla was even more angry with Alphilis. Because it seemed like Alphilis had everything he didn't have. If I had been more honest, I would have wanted to teach Alphilis without having to go through this experience.

Ekla spoke gently to Alphilis, who became red after being laughed at by both of them.

"Lord Alphilis. I will definitely take that story."
