201 The New Sword Five (1/2)

”Liye is innocent; it was just an accident. Who asked such weakling to attack Liye? His death was his own fault.”

Although Ralen knew that maybe the Larken Clan would act if someone abused power to break the rules of Sword City, Yale was still a true genius with the sword, so he doubted that he would be punished even if the Larken Clan discovered about his actions. Instead, Ralen believed that in such situation the Larken Clan would try to protect him.

”As expected of the wise governor, Liye is indeed innocent. That coward guy was the only one to blame for his own reckless acts. This piece of trash in the floor had incited him, but she had also received some divine punishment.”

Ralen and Selenia knew that Lar had some type of relationship with Liye, so they knew that her opinion was completely biased from the start, but she was also someone they didn't dare to offend due to her incredible talent with the sword.

Usually, the members of the Sword Five are talented and thanks to the fame obtained in Sword City, a lot of them managed to marry people of the Larken Clan afterward. However, the talent displayed by Yale and Lar was on a different league.

Unless they were fools like the soul-searched girl, they wouldn't dare to oppress Yale and Lar with their status in Sword City because they believed that both had high chances of being recruited by the Larken Clan in the future. After all, a talent in swordsmanship enough to surpass those on a higher stage was something that even the Larken Clan couldn't ignore.

They thought that their impression of Yale and Lar was high enough, but the truth was something they wouldn't be able to believe even disregarding the identities of their past lives.

Yale was already engaged into the Larken Clan, but he didn't plan to marry, and as no one knew where he was, the Larken Clan was offering a huge reward for finding him and deliver him to the Larken Clan. On the other hand, Lar was directly a member of the Larken Clan who had run from her house.

The Larken Clan extremely valued both of them, but they didn't want to be found by them. Of course, even if both of them were trying to avoid the Larken Clan, such clan wouldn't forgive those who harmed them, so the fates of those two members of the Sword Five were already sealed even if Yale hadn't acted against them.

”That guy had a bad reputation, and everyone heard him in the Sword Arena. He died by his own recklessness; there is nothing to blame Liye. Moreover, I think that Liye should be the new member of the Sword Five for the Apprentice Rank position, I believe that no one would be able to beat him in his same rank.”

Selenia knew that the position would be for Yale in any case due to his shocking swordsmanship, but being the first in suggesting it was a way to improve Yale's impression of her. She hadn't shown goodwill from the start like Ralen as she was impartial, nor she had any type of relationship with Yale like Lar, so he wanted to improve her relationship with Yale as she was sure that he would be someone important in the future.

”That is right. Liye should be the new member of the Sword Five. Moreover, I think that we should replace our member at the Mortal Rank, she isn't worthy of her position.”

Ralen was quite young for his rank, but he was still older than the others and understood that there was no way Yale would be happy if that girl remained in the Sword Five after she had threatened Yale's little sister. Furthermore, he wasn't even sure if that girl would awaken again someday.

”Just as the governor said, a person with such an evil character isn't worthy of being a member of the Sword Five. How about giving that position to Liye's little sister? She is still five, but she has displayed a shocking talent; I am sure she is worthy of the position.”

Selenia knew that Yale cared about his sister since the threatening words towards her angered him, so she wanted to give Wyba some benefits to make Yale happy.

”That would be good, but Wyba is still too little, which means that she won't battle to defend her position. I think she wouldn't lose her position because she couldn't fight due to her age, right?”

Yale also noticed that the other two were scared by his performance and were trying to obtain his favor, so he planned to obtain all the profit he could.

”Of course not. She is just a little girl; there is no way we force her to battle until she turns ten. No one will challenge her, so don't worry.”

The governor thought that it was normal as under ten practicing was impossible, and Wyba would be in a clear disadvantage even with an incredible swordsmanship. Moreover, battling against someone protected by the World Laws was problematic.
