Chapter 57: Duel
"We talked a lot. It's already evening."
"Already? Is he all right?"
I honestly don't even want to imagine what it's like in the sewers at night.
Well, I'm sure Shiro-san will be fine.
"No problem. Shiro-san can take care of himself."
While talking like that, I went back the way I came and went under the fireplace.
"Ah, no one's here?"
"I thought we were supposed to eat a little later in the day."
Wince-san, Gotton-san, Sedona-chan, and Sylvie are gone.
"Good! If you know the sword, know the iron!"
"""If you know the sword, know the iron!"""
"Good!"
"Is that Sylvie's voice just now?"
"It's coming from outside."
I look out the window.
There are children lined up in the garden.
"What are they doing?"
"Mu, that is the Marquis's son!"
Why are they all lined up in front of Sylvie?
I rush out to the garden
"It looks interesting, so I'll go too! Hey, prepare a meal for those kids too."
"Yes!"
The king also followed me while instructing the maid.
-------------
While we were having a secret conversation in the hidden room.
Wince-san and Gotton-san had also been called by the noble ladies and had gone away for a while.
At that time
"There must be a dragon child here!"
Saying that, the Marquis's youngest son and his entourage entered.
By the way, he's only 7 years old.
"It's you, the one with lizard eyes!"
"A monster!"
“Tch, you guys!”
Sylvie was protecting Sedona-chan, who was terrified.
"We have nothing to do with a country girl! Get out of the way!"
"I'm not going anywhere! Sedona is my friend!"
"You sound like a country girl! A lizard child is her friend!"
It seems that he was abusive quite a bit
And
"Let's duel!"
"A woman is no match for a man!"
Sylvie threw a glove at him.
Hearing the commotion, Wince-san, Gotton-san, and even the noble ladies rushed to the scene.
"Mother! I won!"
With the Marquis's son and the others, beaten to a pulp by a wooden sword.
Sylvie, unharmed but with her clothes in tatters.
------
"Sorry Sermus!"
Gotton-san apologized right after I asked about the situation.
My head hurts
I didn't expect this the day I became a frontier count.
“Will this be considered disrespectful?”
I asked the king
“Pfft! No, kuku! It's the Marquis's son who is to blame, isn't it? Kukuku!"
The king was desperately holding back his laughter
"Phew... No, a son of a marquis who loses to a woman. The Marquis doesn't want it to be publicized either."
"Please pretend it never happened."
"Well, I'll take care of it."
Thank you very much.
"But what's with the situation?"
When I looked at Sylvie and the others, they were all swinging.
"The Marquis's son and the others are calling Sylvie the new leader..."
“Sylvie, the leader?”
"Yes"
"Wahahahaha!"
The king couldn't take it anymore.
"Hii... hii... t-then what is it they've been saying all along?"
"Ah... it's what I'm teaching Sylvie."
I know that saying well.
If you know the sword, know the iron
You have to determine if the iron is good or bad.
Bad iron becomes good iron when it is trained.
The sword grows with you.
That's what Gotton-san used to say.
“Come to think of it, I heard she came from a blacksmith family. She's a good woman, take good care of her, okay?"
"Yes"
The children's voices echoed through the yard.
"With you, the sword will grow!"
"""With you, the sword will grow!"""
--------------
"Watinas-sama"
The assassin I sent to the Frontier Count has returned
"You're early. Are you finished?"
"No, I was interrupted."
"What? Who is it?"
“The youngest son of Marquis Andrei. He forced his way into the room and caused quite a stir."
The assassin was unable to do anything about it and had to return.
"You didn't do anything, right?"
"I'm very sorry"
"Good, it was unexpected. I forgive you."
Even if we could get rid of the Count, it would be useless if it was traced back to us.
On the contrary, it is proof of competence that he is judging carefully.
"I suggest you keep quiet for the time being. Until further notice, suspend the mission."
"Understood."
Marquis Andrei is also quite a troublesome opponent.
Especially when the youngest son is involved
"Should I stay at the residence instead of going to the castle...?"
