148 148.Mariel Schweiz (1/2)

--The girl was a genius.

Even at a young age, she was already as good as any real knight at swordsmanship.

The girl's name was Marielle Schweizer. Anyone who knew her would have thought.

Mariel was going to be the strongest knight in the kingdom, no doubt about it.

But Mariel did not choose that path.

One day, Mariel had a brother-in-law. A boy who was brought up in an orphanage by his father.

He was a gifted swordsman, and his manner of speaking was not that of a child.

The boy's name was Alta. He was the first person Mariel had ever encountered and understood to be undoubtedly superior to her.

She must have taken him in because he would be beneficial to the Schweizer family.

However, Mariel's thoughts were a little different. There was Arutha, whose talent with a sword was greater than her own.

Then, he should be the knight. Mariel thought that the right person should be in the right place.

Before Mariel could tell him her intentions, Alta said.

I'm thinking of becoming a knight.

--This was something she could not have hoped for.

If Arutha chose to become a knight, Mariel would do her duty as a lord in a remote area.

In exchange, Arutha inherited the Schweizer family's ”Blue Armored Sword”.

The sword that Mariel had already inherited, the sword that should have been in the hands of a lord, Mariel gave it to Arta.

This is what I've been thinking since I first met him.

Arutha is blunt with everyone, but doesn't want to get too involved with anyone.

She is the same with Mariel and her sister Chloe. She is indifferent and tries to be irrelevant.

Despite her absolute strength, Arutha has a fatal flaw. There is no obsession in Arutha.

Nevertheless, Arutha was the youngest person to be knighted and showed great success.

The Schweizer family received regular reports of her work in the form of letters.
