Chapter 65 (2/2)

“You’re here,” said a low voice It went straight to the point

A long shadow leaning against the wall shi+fted At the sa area illuminated faintly; the clouds parted, and theits face

To ht was al

I proain

A dark figure stood in front ofbreeze blew at the hem of his uniforht, and his dark eyes were focused on me

I couldn’t see his expression, but this sensation, as if a sas being held tole look

“What is your order… coitation When I finished speaking, he—Leonhard von Olsen—silently tossed soht it with e

“Don’t tell me the reason I was called here was—”

“For training, as you can see You’ll practice every day until the day you depart”

“What?! I haven’t heard of this!” I immediately balked, but he turned a deaf ear to my complaints and took off the coat of his uniform “I may not look the part, but I am busy”

“What a coincidence So a his shoulders

Of course, there was never a comparison when it cah I had a pile work I needed co the duties he had on top of his position

Tsk I held ue

“If that’s all you want to say, then get ready”

There was much I wanted to say, but when the co, you did it I realized it would do ed at the collar of my uniform

I grumbled to myself “Why all of a sudden—”

“I’ve been watching you recently, and today I had the idea”

My shoulders stiffened at his response The words of h my mind

“Judging from your reaction, it seems like you’re already aware of it”

I said nothing

“Silence is considered the same as confirmation”

“Hardly… It’s not like I’ve been a hindrance to anyone”

“I’ yourself to admit it Such a frivolous hness”

“Are you—?!”

A sharp sound whistled through the air

Like the eyes of a beast in the dark, they reflected the ht

Cold sweat dripped down my back as I was directly assaulted by his bloodthirst

Even though the sword stabbed atA single movement and I’d be dead

The “black lion” once feared on the battlefield had appeared before my eyes

“Her Highness is the treasure of this kingdom A jehich should never be lost Entrust her to a man who can’t even follow these sloord movements? Not a chance,” he spat

I was duh I wasn’t ahen his sword moved, was there a need to mock me!

But when I looked closely, I noticed the hand he held the sas not his dominant one I was stunned he could move so well even with his left hand

“Show ainst me with my dominant hand tied”

He pulled back the sword’s point and brought it down in an arc At the sa aura disappeared, and I breathed out with all the energy in ly so

“If you think it’s impossible, say it quick I’ll choose someone else”

“No!” I negated instantly, breathing ragged

Hand over my duty as Princess Rosemarie’s protector to someone else? Not a chance here either!

“This is ive it to anyone”

I put ly, but his expression did not crack even a little

“Don’t push yourself There are others who are qualified,” he said smoothly

Was I to let hi that?

“Allow me to make you s those words…”

I s to his clear provocation, but there was no way I’d back down after this My sword readied

The corners of his mouth lifted up as he watched me

“Try me”

He was full of calm and confidence It irked me
