Chapter 20

Chapter 20

SOS!!! Hey 1STKISSNOVEL! DO NOT STEAL MY TRANSLATION!!! \nAs I was heading to the study after breakfast, I suddenly looked out the window. I saw Abbysion and Siegfried sparring outside.

 

Under the bright southern sunlight, the two men were pointing their swords at each other. I stopped walking for a moment and watched them out of the window with my chin resting on the palm of my hands.

 

Siegfried raised his head and looked at me.

 

As he licked his lips, Abbysion looked up at me, putting his hands around his mouth and shouted.

 

“Ariel! What are you doing there? Come down.”

 

“I want to go to the library.”

 

I waved my hand to let him know that I had an appointment, but Abbysion shouted once again that he didn’t mind.

 

“Come down! His Highness said he also wanted you to come down!”

 

“Wh-when did I……?”

 

With an embarrassed look, Siegfried grabbed Abbysion’s shoulder to make him stop. Without saying a word, I walked out the front door and headed to where they were.

 

“The heat is killing me, what are you doing in this heat?”

 

“You should start loosening up slowly.”

 

Abbysion laughed. Indeed, I probably should, so I nodded as if I understood.

 

The festival is already over, so they’d have to leave soon for the subjugation. Abbysion has been participating in the subjugation every year, so this year he has also prepared to participate.

 

Siegfried will probably be with him too, right? That must have been the reason why he had to come down to Ellifritz.

 

This is in order to keep Eisa on edge and shake off his influence from far away, and Siegfried’s first choice was Ellifritz. And I was also going to participate in the subjugation. Of course, the participation of a noble lady wasn’t normal.

 

However, Count Ellifritz was a family made up of warriors. No one is exempted outside of age restrictions.

 

“But Your Highness told me to come down, and now you’re acting like you don’t know me.” I said to Siegfried who was pitifully scribbling on the floor with his wooden sword.

 

Is he still troubled with what happened yesterday? He was ignoring me hard.

 

“I never told you to come down.”

 

“Huh? But Your Highness told me Ariel was passing by…….”

 

“I never did.”

 

Siegfried said, cutting off Abbysion’s words. Abbysion fiddled awkwardly with the back of his neck and hesitantly said, “Ah yes…… You never did. I summoned Ariel at my own will.”

 

I already know that Siegfried found me first, but I don’t know who this conversation is for.

 

When I was about to go thinking this conversation should be stopped, Abbysion suddenly said as he threw me a wooden sword, “It has been a while since you’ve held a sword. Your skills would be a waste if you leave it as it is.”

 

I grabbed the wooden sword without looking at Abbysion then Siegfried looked at me with slightly startled eyes.

 

“I thought you could only punch.”

 

“…… Just what do you take me for? Are you pretending you know more than that?”

 

“I didn’t pretend I didn’t know in the first place.”

 

“But you assumed?”

 

“I didn’t.”

 

If I kept pushing him, I’d only hurt my own mouth so I shrugged.

 

“I’ll take that as a yes.”

 

“I really didn’t. By the way.”

 

Siegfried brought up a new topic of conversation, as if trying to change the conversation altogether. I decided to follow him as he was an enemy I couldn’t win over.

 

“I want to check your skills.”

 

“Yes? No, it’s okay. I don’t even want to sweat too much in this kind of weather.”

 

A sword was thrown in my direction and I caught it, but I don’t intend to do anything with it.

 

It looks like you and Abbysion have been fighting all morning. 

 

“…… Strange.”

 

It was after three or four failed rounds.

 

Guess I wasn’t the only one confused, Siegfried opened his mouth.

 

As the attack barely worked, Siegfried also had a strange expression on his face.

 

Without missing the moment, I grabbed the tip of the wooden sword with both hands and smashed at his head.

 

Then Siegfried quickly blocked my sword with one hand. No matter how much force and pressure I applied, he did not move.

 

Siegfried’s eyes were staring at me through the two crossed swords, his purple eyes shook slightly.

 

“Ariel, maybe.”

 

“Yes, Your Highness.”

 

“Have we ever met before?”
