Iris watched as the sky cleared and the wards collapsed. She understood that the mission had been a success and that each of them had done their part.

It’s a good idea to keep your eyes open. It is not likely that he will wake up for some time…

“Uuh, looks like we’re clear.”

The one who called out to me was Mariel. Around her, there are a number of fallen magicians.

Iris gulped at the spectacle.

Mariel had saved Iris, but the fact that she had overpowered the magicians made her feel a little scared. She was the sister of her mentor, Alta Schweiz, and considering that, it was no wonder that she was a powerful person.

Still, it was true that she had come as reinforcements.

Iris bowed her head to show his gratitude to Mariel.

“Thank you for your help, Mariel.”

“No problem. I would have come to you anyway.”

“……to me?”

“Yes, yes. I wanted to ask you something, Iris.”

Mariel stands in front of Iris with a kind smile on her face.

After the battle with the magicians, she does not have a single scratch on her.

There was not even a stain on her clothes, which truly proved that Mariel was highly skilled.

“Iris, do you intend to become a king?”

“!”

However, what came from her in such an atmosphere were words that Iris did not expect to hear.

Mariel was asking Iris whether or not she intended to become a king.

She had not expected to be asked so many questions about her future, just today.

“Why are you asking me this now?”

“Because it is now that I need to ask. That’s why I came all the way to King’s City.”

“Is that the reason you came to King’s City, to ask me that……?”

“Yes.”

Mariel answers Iris’s question without hesitation. – She is not telling a lie.

If that’s the case, I wonder if it wasn’t a coincidence that she met Iris for the first time.

From that moment on, were you planning to ask Iris if she intended to become a king?

……The truth is easy to answer.

Iris is not going to be a king.

The goal she is aiming for is to be a “knight” and not for a place where she has to rule the country.

She will fight as a knight and become a knight like her father, or even better than her father.

She said that she would eventually become a knight who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Alta.

“You can’t get engaged to him because there’s someone else he loves.”

(……why are you saying that now……)[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

Then, Iris remembers the conversation she had with Cashel earlier.

She wanted to be a knight, she wanted to be with Alta, and then she thought about the person she loved. It seems as if Iris is in love with Alta.

What Mariel is asking is not about such an impure story.

Iris suppressed her upset feelings and tried to answer Mariel.

“What?”

However, she immediately felt a presence that made her distance herself from Mariel.

For the first time, I was able to feel the killing spirit directed at….. myself when I faced her.

Feeling as if a blade had been placed at her throat, Iris involuntarily touched her throat with her hand.

“Mmm, you’re right, Iris. If you hadn’t just stepped back, your head would have jumped off.”

“…… What do you mean? Didn’t Mariel come to save me ……?”

“Yes, she did, a moment ago. But now it’s different. You are trying to hide your true feelings, and that’s not good enough. I want to hear your true feelings, your honest feelings without any falsehood. Hmmm, you know……? Do you know the phrase, it’s called “talking with your fists.”

Mariel pulls out her sword. No, what Mariel holds in her hand is a “steel thread sword”.

There is no blade, and even if she pulled it out, it would not be visible.

But she also pulls out another sword.

The “Hundred Foot” and the “Steel Thread Sword” – both swords were used by the “Swordsmen”, but it was only the “Steel Thread Sword” that Mariel had just used in the battle.

There are probably only a few people in this world who can properly handle that one sword alone.

Mariel held up such a sword and another one that would be difficult to handle, the “Hundred Foot”, and said the following.

“Let us speak to each other with swords…….? As we fight, I want you to tell me what you really think.”

“Na…… why do I have to fight you, Mariel?”

“Ummm… I already answered that. What I want to know is your true intentions, and that is why I borrowed this sword from the Knights. I didn’t expect to find myself in this situation first, but…”

Mariel glanced around her. – It was no coincidence that she had come with a sword.

She had come here from the beginning with the intention of fighting.

It’s not just the magicians, but also…… for Iris that she came here to fight.

The fact that it was borrowed from the Knights means that the Black Wolf Knights knew about it.

Remyll gave permission for Iris and Mariel to duel – that’s how it works.

(I don’t know why Mr. Ein is……, but I don’t have time to think about that right now.)

Iris let out a big breath at the tingling and deadly atmosphere.

Grasping the handle of the 《Shield Power》, Iris faced Mariel with a resolute expression.

“I like your expression. Your hesitation is gone and you have the face of a swordsman. You’re ready to fight with me, aren’t you?”

“…… To be clear, I don’t think I’m in that situation right now. Still, since you’re not going to miss it – I’ll take it and stand.”

“Uuuh, I’ve been waiting for you to say that. Let’s start then… shall we?”

With Mariel’s words, the objects around her were cut into pieces.

“I’m coming.”

With those words, Iris began to move.

The duel between Iris and Mariel has started.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
