The knights who gathered at the training canize as an equivalent knight, see thehts He couldn’t erase theabandoned because Elena had been convinced of his good intentions he had been shown to her over the past few days
Either way or not, Elena wasn’t interested in it at all

At the words of the s Elena, Hurelbard belatedly lowered the sword below his belly button and fixed it so that the tip of the sword faced the ground
