I heard that Mr. Sieg, the Sword Saint, is not a swordsman from the Ladyvia Kingdom.
However, he is always called upon to fight with us at the time of big battles.
He also met and became friends with Brother Damien at that time. It seems that that Brother of mine is good at getting along with warriors.
While we were talking about this at the entrance of the house, Master came out from inside. Did we talk a little too much?
“Hmm? I thought I heard a lot of noise, but I didn’t expect it to be you Sieg. Is there a war going on?”
Upon seeing Mr. Sieg, Master looks a little surprised and says so. It seems the two of them know each other.
A Sage and a Saint. They seem to be opposites, but I guess they are related.
“What a surprise! I didn’t expect to meet you here, Gory-dono. Did His Highness Damien summon you, too?”
“No, not really, I am here as this child’s teacher. Do not tell anyone about this, it’s complicated.”
“Oh. This is…”
Mr. Sieg then looked at me with interest.
Ugh, I’m nervous….
“I thought for sure I could sense a deep magic within. You seem to be doing good in training.”
“I’m sure that girl is your daughter, isn’t she? She also has a very good fighting spirit.”
At this time, Master pointed to the red-haired girl named Kris.
She is certainly a… fortress. She has a wall around her that keeps people away.
She’s kind of scary.
“I wanted Kris to have a ‘girlish’ life, alas, she is only interested in swords. She grew up to be such an energetic child.”
As Sieg embarrassedly said, Kris retorted.
“Dad, you are being old-fashioned in your thinking. In this times, women are strong too. The last person who became a Sage was also a woman.”
“I know, I know, I understand. I’m sorry for being ‘old-fashoined’.”
Mr. Sieg helplessly apologized.
Disregarding that he’s her father, Mr. Sieg is a Sword Saint and he was told off just like that.
“By the way, Sieg, I’m sorry to bother you as soon as arrived, but can I ask you to spar with me a bit? Actually, I was just doing a little swinging earlier, but I haven’t moved enough yet.”
When Brother said this, Mr. Sieg smiled happily.
“I’ve also been looking for a way to relieve some of the frustration I’ve been feeling by being stuck in the carriage. Let’s go.”
The two men exchanged glances and then headed for the garden.
A match between Brother and Mr. Sieg…. This will be very interesting. I’ll go and watch!
My Brother is very fast and sharply slashed towards Mr. Sieg with a mock sword.
It was difficult for me to follow his movements with my eyes, but Mr. Sieg easily avoided it.
“As sharp as ever. It’s a shame to just have you as a Prince.”
“Ha, thank you very much! I’ll take that as a compliment…”
It is true that Brother’s sword is very sharp. It’s no wonder they say he’s stronger than an ordinary soldier.
However, he couldn’t even come close to Mr. Seig. A “Sword Saint” is indeed of a different caliber.
“I’m going to ask you to bear with me for a moment.”
Saying so, Mr. Sieg swung his sword with one hand.
No, it is more accurate to generally say that it was “wielded,” because the sword’s path was completely invisible to my eyes. Just when I thought he had held the mock sword to his left, he was already swinging out on his right.
The moment he swung, Brother was blown away with tremendous force, and bounced off the ground three times. It was only after that did he manage to land on the ground.
Is this… okay?
“Ha ha…! You’re as unforgiving as ever, Seig! You’re the only one who can hit me, a Royal, that hard!”
“I have faith in you, Your Highness. I trust His Highness to not be put down by something like this.”
“Gahaha~, you make me so happy!”
Brother laughed and went toward Mr. Sieg. I’m sure my body would fall apart if I was sent flying like that…
“Mr. Sieg is really strong. I can’t see him strike his sword at all.”
“I know, right? Daddy is amazing.”
""
……Before I knew it, Kris, Sieg’s daughter, was standing next to me.
She is smiling happily and smugly as she heard her Father get praised. Is she a daddy’s girl?
Oh right, Kris-san doesn’t know that I am a Prince. I have to be careful not to call Brother Damien as ‘Brother or Bro’ by accident.
“Hey you!”
“Hi~!”
I was suddenly spoken to while I was thinking, and accidentally made a funny sound. Sure enough, Kris-san is looking at me like I’m some kind of weirdo.
I had to treat her naturally so that she wouldn’t get suspicious…
“W- what is it?”
“That. Do you also wield a sword?”
Kris-san pointed at the mock sword I was holding in my hand.
