Ant looked at the sword master, who was fine, and thought it was really too scary.
And since Rudnine was considered the strongest Sword Master of all time, his physical strength must have already overcome the limitations of humans.
"Still, drink some water."
"It's okay."
He refused the water Ant offered him and asked secretly, lowering his voice.
"How about what I told you to do yesterday?"
"I handled it carefully."
"Thank you for your hard work."
As Rudnine's bloody momentum softened a little, Ant quickly took advantage of the gap.
"By the way, why are you doing this? Isn't this why the Duke must be angry with the knights?"
"...It's a fire. Me?"
Ant opened his eyes wide when Rudnine replied with a grin.
"Really? You were really angry, weren't you?"
"...Is that so?"
Rudnine was surprised by the emotions he did not know, and he rubbed his chin and looked around at the fallen knights.
'I was too much.'
Ant said to Rudnine, who reflected that he had pushed the knights too far.
"Why are you angry? Oh, it's been a bit strange for you to do this since you went to the Argenthoz mansion..."
Ant clapped his hands excitedly as Rudnine's complexion changed.
"No way! Did Princess Argenthoz have a new lover?! Good lord! She did that, the Duke is a fish in the fishing ground!"
"..."
"What a bad woman. Falling in love with a bad woman is too bleak for the Duke..."
Ant, an aide who is excellent at handling his work publicly.
However, he was a person who was very ignorant of private matters.
Crack.
Rudnine clearly heard the last string of patience in my head break.
He took a deep breath and clenched the handle of his sword tightly.
He glared at Ant silently, fixed his sword, and suddenly grinned.
Rudnine took a step closer.
"It's been a long time since I fought with you."
Sensing that Rudnine's eyes were unusual, Ant took a step back.
"Yes? I, I... I just practiced in the morning. I appreciate the Duke's valuable teachings, but I don't need them."
"No."
"Hiiiik!"
Ant was frightened when the tip of his sword suddenly approached his chin, and he quickly took a defensive stance.
"If you're a knight, you have to train every day. You're also on my side, so I'm going to check for myself if the sword is rusted or still sharp."
Ant was so scared of Rudnine smiling affectionately.
"I also work as an aide! No one can perfectly combine literature and martial arts!"
Ant screamed in his defense.
"Hmm, I need the perfect aide."
Having calmly cut off his aide's excuses, Rudnine fixed his sword and was ready to beat Ant.
It was then.
Frightened, Ant was calculating the escape route to somehow escape when he found the chief butler coming and going from the entrance to the training ground.
The chief butler looked very nervous.
Ant sensed with his beastly intuition that it was very Important and called him.
"Oh dear !! Butler, what's going on in this rough place!"
When Yvonne, who had been waiting for Rudnine, left, the chief butler came back to check on the situation in person, but the atmosphere was still bloody, so he was about to leave.
He shook his arms hastily.
"Oh, no, you don't have to worry about it. I don't think it's urgent, but I think it's urgent, so I've come to the training camp for now, but I'll just go."
'It's not urgent, but it's urgent?'
Ant, who had been listening to the unusual, flustered words, felt something strange and ran towards him coldly.
Fortunately, Rudnine didn't catch Ant, and Ant went to the chief butler and hurriedly asked.
"What is that ambiguous incident?"
"Oh, that fact was just a guest at the mansion."
"Guest? Who are you?"
"Princess Argenthoz has gone."
"Princess Yvonne Argenthoz?"
At the same time as Ant's surprised cry, Rudnine asked back in a trembling voice in the distance.
"...What did you just say?"
"Princess Yvonne Argenthoz has gone, Duke."
"Oh..."
Rudnine, who couldn't believe what the butler told him again, stood silent for a moment.
The ferocious momentum that had bloomed around him quickly subsided like a fire sprayed with water.
Rudnine's red lips parted uncontrollably.
The Sword Master, who had just wielded his sword fiercely and turned many knights into exhaustion, was gone.
He just looked crazy, like someone who had suddenly been hit in the back of the head with a hammer.
"Yvonne...?"
Realizing that this was not a dream, he quickly ran to the entrance of the training camp.
"Ugh!"
Then, he pushed Ant next to the chief butler hard and urged him.
"Butler, tell me again."
The butler gave Ant a pitiful glance, who was lying on the floor, and replied nervously.
"Princess Yvonne Argenthoz came two hours ago. But the Duke was training in the training ground with the knights. When I told her that the training would be a bit longer, the Princess said she didn't want to disturb the Duke, and she just went back."
"... She went?"
Rudnine's voice trembled slightly.
"Yes, Oh. I heard that she came to tell you this. She promised to give the Duke a gift, but she said she couldn't."
The chief butler carefully handed the item in his hand to Rudnine.
'This is..'
It was a fine light blue handkerchief.
When he opened the handkerchief with trembling hands, he found a black fountain pen in his arms.
A fountain pen embossed with a silver rose, the symbol of the Argenthhoz family.
And the color of the fountain pen was black, the symbol of the Iels family, and the same color as his hair.
'What does it mean?'
Thump thump.
His heart started beating fast.
'Is it a gift from Yvonne to mean that I am a special fish?'
Even though he was dealing with some of the best knights in the empire, his neck and ears turned red as he did not disturb his breath.
He was out of breath, and he could clearly feel the pulsation of all his blood vessels.
He clutched his fountain pen and handkerchief and left them as it was.
"Oh, where are you going, Duke?!"
"He's going to go to the show~!"
Unlike the bewildered butler, Ant saw off Rudnine with a single blank smile.
As he ran unconcerned about Ant's sly attitude, only one thought dominated his mind.
'Where are you, Yvonne?'
Yvonne came to visit him herself.
He was worried that he would miss her and let her go like this, and he felt like he was going crazy.
It was an opportunity that was more precious than a thousand gold.
Rudnine started running at full speed.
He ran along the long boulevard of Iels Townhouse from the training camp and broke through to the main gate in less than a minute.
The employees who witnessed the Sword Master running in broad daylight were stunned.
"What has passed now..."
"Is it a wind?"
"...You idiots, he's the Duke!"
Rudnine's ears couldn't hear anything. He now has the most important goal in his life.
The earnest goal of chasing and catching Yvonne.
Rudnine, who was nervous and ran at the fastest speed in his life, found an obstacle in his way and hardened his mouth.
High-toned door tightly closed.
The main entrance outside stood in his way.
"Ugh! Oh, Duke?!"
And he easily jumped over that dark height.
The servants guarding the door opened their mouths in shock.
He didn't even have time to wait for the servant to open the door.
Tap.
Rudnine landed lightly on the floor and immediately ran again, and soon found a bright silver-haired head that stood out.
"Yvonne!"
To Yvonne, who walked away without paying attention to his call, Rudnine cried out again earnestly.
"Yvonne Argenthoz!"
Finally, she turned around and looked at him.
"...Rudd?"
The eyes that opened in surprise were so lovely.
The joy of not missing Yvonne, the joy of seeing her again, made Rudnine feel like she was taking his breath away.
Her beautiful forehead and long neck are coolly exposed, and her hair is tied up in a round bun, which is also very cute and refreshing.
'So pretty.'
Today, Yvonne's more cute, lively, and shining appearance was about to sting his retina.
When her clear and beautiful eyes met his gaze, Rudnine ran with a bright smile and soon hardened like a stone statue.
'Is that woman?'
He was greatly shocked.
It was because the maid who was now attached to Yvonne like a leech was that maid!
Another fish of Yvonne, who was whispering love to Yvonne in a soft way, Eudela Rognier!
"Haha...."
A laugh flowed out.
Yvonne, who dared to bring Eudela to his house, was very cruel.
It seems that his heart, which was trembling with excitement, split and shattered in an instant.
Rudnine, who exploded with sadness, couldn't stand it anymore and cried out.
"Yvonne!"
His dark eyes, filled with resentment, turned to Yvonne.
"Eudela Rognier, is that maid that good? Do you save so much that you want to take it all the way? Why?"
'And Yvonne is much more wasteful!'
Rudnine, who couldn't bear to say anything behind his eyes, gasped heavily.
Yvonne's eyes widened as she looked at him with a blank expression.
"...Yes?"
Wow.
As the summer sun scorched, a bluebird sitting in a nearby dense tree cried out loudly, mocking.
