Chapter 210 - WOLF OF THE WIND (4) (2/2)

But he was smiling.

Because he knew now.

What his father had meant.

What the gale, the essence of the Sword of Wind, was.

Gaël no longer restrained himself. He completely liberated the wildness that woke up in the process of his resurrection.

And at that moment, everyone in the stadium looked at Gaël. They couldn’t help it.

But it was only the beginning.

Gaël took a step forward.

He looked straight ahead without hiding his fierce smile.

“Adelia.”

Gaël whispered low and drew his sword. He showed the knights of the center and south, as well as the spectators at the colosseum, the true Sword of Wind, his Sword of Gale.

***

The fighting competition ended successfully.

The result was a one-sided victory for the north in both the minor and adult divisions. But despite the defeat of the central group, the entire royal capital was engulfed in a grand and festive atmosphere again.

“It’s a huge success.”

Prince Dion, the person who planned and pushed for the fighting competition, smiled brightly for the first time in a long while, and upon seeing her younger brother’s smile, Princess Daphne was also happy as she filled her glass with wine.

“The birth of a new great swordmaster.”

They couldn’t fill all the vacancies in the Ten Great Swordmasters, but it was enough for them.

The residents of the royal capital were exhilarated by the birth of a new great swordmaster, and they no longer worried about the vacancy left by First Sword.

Sword Wolf.

The wolf of the sword.

The sword of the dominating gale that defeated the beast of the south, Calix Ophand, and the Lion’s Sword, Richard Galleon from the center.

“For the Bayer family.”

Prince Dion raised his glass together with Princess Daphne, and was sincerely grateful.

After all, they were able to reverse the atmosphere of the royal capital because of the Bayer family.

The Sword of Wind replaced the Sword of Light.

The Sword Wolf – Gaël, who now held the Sword of Gale, became one of the Ten Great Swordmasters.

And even Jude Bayer, the Swordless Swordsman, showed an overwhelming performance.

“Their family are really great swordsmen.”

It was clear to them that Jude would also become one of the Ten Great Swordmasters in the future.

In one family, three great swordmasters were born in the same time period.

It was a tremendous feat that couldn’t be found anywhere.

At Princess Daphne’s words of admiration, Prince Dion nodded and cheerfully smiled, saying as he touched his chin.

“But my dear sister.”

“Yes, my dear little brother.”

“Is Jude a real swordsman?”

They had never seen him use a sword.

Even in the fighting competition, he only pretended to pull it out.

“I don’t know, but I think he’s a swordsman. After all, we’ve never seen the Iron Man use a sword too, right?”

“A swordless swordsman.”

How could a swordsman be a swordsman if they didn’t use a sword?

But that didn’t matter to them.

What mattered was the fact that new heroes were born from this fighting competition.

“Two people of destiny.”

Just as Princess Darianne and Prince Dion each had their own unique abilities, Princess Daphne also inherited a special ability from the Founder King.

A heavenly voice.

Whispers from above that she could hear from time to time.

That being had said.

The two people of destiny would determine the fate of Princess Daphne and Prince Dion, as well as the entire Sälen Kingdom.

“Then, when are those two getting married?”

“They haven’t held an engagement ceremony yet, right?”

It was an arranged marriage from the time they were still in their mothers’ wombs, and now, they were both 17 years old.

“Hmm, should we do it for them then?”

“What? The engagement ceremony?”

“Yes, with the blessing of the royal family.”

The two had already done a lot of favors to the royal family to the extent that they could be called royalists, but the royal family needed to be more certain that the two were on their side.

‘No, I just want to be nice to them more.’

Because they really owed the two a huge favor.

“Hmm… I think that’s a good idea? Shall we go ahead with it?”

“Let’s go ahead with it.”

The siblings laughed without worries after a long time and bumped their glasses again as they continued to discuss their plan in more detail.

But unfortunately, the siblings’ wishes wouldn’t come true.

***

“Hey, are we really going like this?”

“Because our feet will keep getting tied down. I even participated in the competition, but we really have to go now.”

The night after the competition.

Jude suggested to Cordelia that they take a honeymoon trip to the south, or to be exact, to escape at night.

“If we continue to stay at the royal capital, we will not be able to leave for the south even after a month.”

“Hmm… I agree.”

There were so many people who wanted to meet Jude and Cordelia. Furthermore, it was not easy to refuse them since they were all high-ranking nobles.

‘It’s a pity that I couldn’t stop by the Medb’s auction house in the end… but it’s not a big deal.’

The Medb’s auction house was hit hard in the chaos that occurred when the royal capital was attacked.

Because of that, the auction house wouldn’t be holding an auction for a while, so they couldn’t help it even if they thought that it was a pity.

“What about our fief then?”

“My father and brother will take care of it.”

The fief that they were supposed to receive had already been confirmed.

Although they had yet to receive the official documents, it was not a big problem since they wouldn’t be able to do anything to it yet.

‘Because we’re not in a situation where we can just sit back and manage our fief.’

Black Dragon Malekith’s attack on the south was drawing near.

Due to the butterfly effect, the event could go a bit faster or slower than the original storyline, but in any case, they couldn’t just wait for it to happen.

“Ultimate One.”

It would be perfect for Jude who was called the Swordless Swordsman.

It was a weapon that he must obtain before their final battle against Malekith.

“I see, then it’s fine. We can’t help it.”

Cordelia nodded her head, and Jude immediately placed the prepared letter on the bed.

The letter wrote that the two were going on a romantic trip to the south, so they shouldn’t look for the two.

“But Jude.”

“Yes, Cordelia.”

“That…”

“That?”

“Wi…”

“Wi?”

Jude grinned and tilted his head as if he didn’t know what she was talking about, and Cordelia bit her lips and pulled on Jude’s arm as she said.

“The wish! What’s your wish!”

“Hmm… What kind of wish should I make? I’m worried because I have so many wishes to make.”

“M-many?”

“Yes, there are so many, so I’m really worried on what to wish for. So it will take some time. Hmm, perhaps at least a few days.”

Jude smiled and said before he packed their luggage. And Cordelia’s imagination began to run wild in the meantime.

“Anyway, Madam, I think we should get going.”

When Jude said that, he showed her his back as if telling her to ride on his back, but Cordelia suddenly clapped and said in a quiet voice.

“Yes, yes, if Jude’s wish is a piggyback ride… should I allow it then?”

Because her ban on skinship had yet to be lifted.

At Cordelia’s words, Jude grinned and said.

“What the… are you saying that’s my wish?”

“No, well… it is.”

When Cordelia smirked and said, Jude snorted before nodding his head.

“Okay, let’s do that.”

“Eh? Really?”

“Yes. If you want me to wish to carry you on my back instead of saying my real wish, I can’t help it then, right?”

Cordelia flinched at Jude’s words.

Her conscience was stabbed because she felt that she was somehow cheating him, but the ‘real wish’ that Jude had said was also bothering her.

What is it? What kind of wish is it?

Cordelia began to imagine again, and her face blushed as always before she finally made up her mind.

“Okay. Just for this time, I’ll ride on your back.”

“Should that be my wish?”

“No. Just tell me your real one later.”

Cordelia averted her eyes for no reason, and Jude began to laugh in a sly way.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Well, I just thought that my princess is really an angel.”

That was it. Instead of teasing her more, Jude showed her his back, and Cordelia pouted her lips before she carried the bag on her back and got on Jude’s back.

“Are you not saying those words today?”

Her usual lines of merging with Jude.

“Uh, not for now.”

Cordelia responded with a slightly sulky voice as she hugged Jude’s neck, and Jude quietly smiled as he arranged Cordelia’s position.

To stop the attack of Black Dragon Malekith.

The two began their trip to the south.
