71. What if you can’t have it?

In line with the wind blowing from the center of Elysee, the band begins to play harder.

‘The grain is different.’

It was exactly what I felt the moment I saw Elise’s posture.

It’s not like I’ve developed swordsmanship on my own while passing the risk of dying, and it’s not something I’ve grown wildly.

A swordsmanship that someone has carefully polished and sharpened.

Not like plants in a greenhouse, but diamonds carefully processed by craftsmen.

Elise’s swordsmanship was like that.

‘After all, I didn’t beat Ares by luck.’

It was not just a coincidence that Ares lost in the practical test he took before the vacation. In addition to that, the magic embedded in her ring.

A total of 4 magics were strengthening her, 2 on her left hand and 2 on her right hand, but each of these magics was so outstanding that she seemed to have transformed into a different person in an instant.

“I know how strong you are, Daniel. So let’s go with full power from the beginning!”

The golden sword is swung towards me as it is.

I leaned back with the screams of the people in the party and looked around.

I didn’t expect it to come out so aggressively, so I didn’t bring a weapon…

“for a moment! young lady! What is this!”

“Redeem it first!”

The private soldiers of the Sermon family, the host of the party, hurriedly rush to draw their swords and surround Elise.

Since it was a masquerade, I didn’t know that Elise was a member of the royal family, so I tried to arrest her right away.

“Stop the odd ones!”

When Elise swung her sword once, the soldiers couldn’t stand it and flew off and rolled on the floor.

The moment they saw it, the nobles who were still watching turned pale and immediately started running away.

Even in this situation, the musicians did not stop playing. He had heard the identity of Elise from the maid, so he decided that it was rather dangerous to stop here.

‘He didn’t die.’

He held the two swords dropped by the soldiers in both hands.

And I was sure

“It was you.”

“Yes? What do you mean?”

“It was you who killed Abbiel.”

Elise still had an expression of incomprehension, but inside I was convinced.

In my previous life, when I went to the depths of the forest of the underworld and met the ancient witches, Abiel was already dead and only his insects were roaming around honoring the king.

Ancient beasts rarely came out of the forest of the demon realm, and fighting among themselves was now prohibited, so in fact, the ancient beasts did not die unless their lifespan was over.

However, in his previous life, Abiel was already dead.

I was guessing that someone might have killed Abiel, who had come to kill Adriana, but seeing Elise’s strength now, I was sure.

She killed Abbiel in her previous life.

As long as the magic was maintained, it clearly surpassed Abiel’s power.

‘Of course, I would have gotten help from other people.’

He stanced, thinking that perhaps Eris or the dean, who had visited Ares, would have pooled their strength to help.

“You didn’t do well on the test, did you? You will have to do your best this time. I want to get you completely if possible.”

“Are all royals like you always crooked?”

“Even insulting the royal family! you are the best! The only thing I miss is that sword. Should I tell Bertia to bring me a proper sword?”

Elise looked at the two swords I was holding with sad eyes.

It was certainly not a very good sword, but on the contrary, he replied with a snort.

“This is too small for a handicap. How can I win with only one hand?”

“Ahh! Please make my heart beat in moderation! My heart feels like it’s going to burst!”

I muttered to myself, “I’m a real crazy bitch,” and realized that if I had to talk more than this, that woman would like it.

As soon as I hit it right in front of me and swing my sword, Elise savored my sword and smiled.

“Ah, it’s heavy. After all, you have adjusted the black power of that time.”

“Do it in moderation.”

“How can I do it in moderation! This is the most exciting moment of my life! Is this love, Daniel?”

“……”

let’s not answer

As I continued to exchange swords and gradually began to push forward, Elise smiled strangely.

“Am I not only skilled in swordsmanship?”

A gigantic sword rose from the ground in an instant.

I think he really meant to cut off my leg, but he managed to twist his body and only lightly grazed my waist.

“……”

“Do you think the princess of a country only learned swordsmanship? I am also very talented in magic.”

Yes, Elise was in the top ranks in both swordsmanship and magic at the academy. Hiding swordsmanship means hiding magic skills as well.

Numerous golden magic circles were created on the floor and in the air, and golden swords continued to rain down on me.

‘It’s magic in the form of a sword.’

I felt that this too must have been learned from a wizard with quite good skills. Beautiful magic, like looking at a transparent glass craft.

As soon as I began to cast off the magic with both hands, Elysee tore the hem of her dress with a smile and burrowed into me.

“The front is empty!”

Kwajijik!

In order to deal with the stabbing guy’s treasured sword, he crosses his swords like scissors and inserts a treasured sword between them.

Sparks fly from the sword and sword due to the violent friction, and the one I was holding breaks.

However, I already knew that there was a sign of a crack, so I used the broken side and stabbed Elise in reverse.

“Damn!”

A broken sword lodged properly in her shoulder.

I usually don’t know about it, but if the sword is broken, it can cause more pain to the opponent. It is easy for fragments to get stuck in the flesh, and the damage is also increased by the irregular blade.

Elise, bleeding from her shoulder, steps back and slowly places her hand on her shoulder.

blood dripping red.

His blood is like this. He showed a reaction as if he had never seen it before, and he smiled brightly.

“It hurts! great! good! This is my first time! Ha ha ha!”

Now, to the extent that it feels a little disgusting, Elysee nodded her head in favor of seeing her own blood, and then took a stance again.

“I can’t do it anymore.”

I was going to do it moderately, but looking at the current state, I don’t think it should end like that.

Now that I look at it, I thought I would give a little bit of stinging attention because I could tell how much I had been raised.

“I’ll try not to kill you.”

*

“I’ll try not to kill you.”

The moment that one word is uttered, the atmosphere of the banquet hall changes. The band, who had been immersed in the performance, suddenly became disturbed, and Elise’s lips twisted.

‘What?’

Obviously, it was Daniel McClane until recently.

He was a tough man who excites himself so much that he doesn’t know where to go.

The atmosphere he is showing right now is just that.

“Witch?”

yes, witch.

It was also very large, and it seemed as if a beast with overwhelming power was standing in front of him.

“Uhhhh!”

You said there was still a hidden power left?

Elise felt a tingling in her stomach.

He felt his wet lower back to the point where he wondered if this was okay, and he gave the sword he was holding even stronger.

“……uh?”

Couldn’t react.

The black-haired beast was wielding a sword in front of him.

dead.

Yes, I thought he was definitely dead.

“Princess!”

Before he knew it, Bertia, the maid standing in front of him, was blocking his way with her skirt flying and her sword drawn.

Maid Bertia.

Although she was the closest aide to Elise under the name of a maid, she was the leader of the dark department organized by the king in the past, and due to an injury during the mission, she was now working as Elise’s maid and escort.

Originally, I would have recommended retirement, but Bertia and Elise were bound by their own ties, so she started working as a maid.

It was none other than Bertia who taught Elise swordsmanship.

Such Bertiaga.

“Gagging!”

He vomits blood and falls to the ground.

No matter how much he retired due to injury, he was the leader of the dark side called the left hand of the king.

Daniel McLain, who knocked down Bertia with his sword as if he was jumping over a leaping frame in an instant, did not stop there, but smashed her back by stepping on her with his foot.

“Shut up!”

“Do not interfere.”

of flesh mixed with hideousness.

The chilling fear she felt for the first time in her life bound her whole body like a chain, and she fell to her knees without realizing it.

“Ahhh……”

Perhaps it was because he realized that he had lost his will, Daniel raised his sword and slowly lowered his sword and snatched her long necklace that was sticking out.

Her neck was pulled and bent as if grabbed by the collar.

The necklace didn’t break even with his rough touch, as if it wasn’t a high-end item for nothing.

“Be in moderation and grow up. Originally, it was you who should have collapsed on the floor.”

“……”

“One servant is well placed. Because I got hurt instead of you.”

“……”

Daniel casually puts on the necklace and Elise loses her strength.

Bubbly.

Daniel’s numb footsteps grew farther away, and Elise slowly raised her head and looked at the chandelier.

“Bertia, are you okay?”

“It’s great, yes…… It’s okay, it’s okay.”

Bertia took out the potion and handed it to Elise, even though she herself suffered more severe injuries, but Elise shook her head.

“I’m fine, Bertia uses it.”

“……Princess.”

“Come on, you saved me.”

Upon hearing that, Bertia drank half of the potion with a slightly moved expression and sprinkled the rest on the wound.

“Failed, I wasn’t the man I could contain.”

“……”

Bertia also looked towards the terrace where Daniel had left and nodded slightly.

What the hell is identity?

How could he have reached such a level at the age of 18?

‘It seems to be out of human…’

Even Bertia, who had been active in the dark club, was forced to shudder at the pressure and fear she felt for the first time.

It was not a matter of overcoming it through training.

No matter how brave a rabbit is, in the end it will only tremble in front of a tiger.

This was such a problem.

“If I can’t have it…”

Elise suddenly smiled and muttered like a broken doll.

She murmured, stroking the marks as thickly engraved as a leash from Daniel pulling on the necklace.

“Isn’t it okay if I become that person’s thing?”

Bertia, who stared blankly at Elysee for a moment, asked inside.

‘Can’t you come and beat our princess one more time?’
