CSWH Chapter 10: Sword and Pride

”Melly, I have so to talk to you about Come to my study”

During the ti

Father calledand headed towards the study

Those from the Military would come by two or three times a week

On the other days, father was also busy, so I would practice on my own

Fros to do, whether it be i my posture and all kinds of other tasks

Until recently, I had been training together withwith the usual training, he has been holing up in his roo

It seems that in addition to the many topics he had to learn as the next lord, brother has also been learning tactics recently

When I asked him not to work so hard to the point of collapse, I was told, ”You too”, as he gave a troubled laugh while pointing at my wounds

Ever since mother died, all of us have been like this

It was as though a single portion of our hearts had frozen over

And as if ere trying to sube it, each of us wholeheartedly threw ourselves into some task

For

Just how long had it been since I last laughed from the bottom of my heart, I wonder

To begin with, my emotions would not stir

Even as time passed since the loss of mother, none of our wounds healed, and we continued to carry theun to slowly fester

When I went to the study, father wasa stern face

”……I have made you wait, father”
