The king, Granard Zain, appeared in front of her with a shining sword in his hand.
She gulped nervously as she readied her sword.
From the holy sword in his grip comes a stinging signal of danger. The tension in the air is even greater than it was when we faced Raidorl at the Blaine Fortress.
âKing GranardâŠ..â
âThe little girl from the Empire of Alsatian. Youâve been working with Raidorl, havenât you? He was a traitor, after all. The foxes of the enemy will be made to rust on my sword!â
âWhat is that sword?ăFrom the looks of it, I donât think itâs a holy sword.â
Granardâs lips lifted in anticipation of the question.
âAs you can see, itâs a holy sword!ăItâs the same as the one you haveâŠâŠno, itâs the sword of kings, which only a true king is allowed to have in his hand!â
âA holy swordâŠâŠÂ never knew there was a holy sword in this country other than the DĂĄinsleifâŠâŠ.â
âThat is the sword from the Witch of Light â a magic sword Brionac. It seems he has been enchanted by that witch and turned into an apostle. The masterâs brotherâŠâ
âItâs no wonder you donât know. Itâs been 300 years since the last great disaster. The magic sword was created by the Witch of Doom to fight against the Holy Sword. You can call it a weapon of war against the Holy Sword.â
âI didnât know that existedâŠâŠ.even papa didnât know that existed eitherâŠâŠâ
âNo, you canât fight. King Granard is now under the protection of the Witch of Light. He can move at the speed of light. If you try to follow him with your eyes, youâll never catch up with him.â
âThe speed of lightâŠâŠ?â
âYes. In a few seconds you could pass over the moon.â
ââŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ..â
Celiaâs eyes cloud over in confusion. She doesnât know what Neimilia means by the speed of light, and she doesnât know what Neimilia means by crossing the moon.
