Chapter 88 – 08. Kingdom of Ulstro – Organize and Prepare (3)

Valdez, who had a good time with the two sisters and dealt with Elsa, headed to the gymnasium on time. He went back and forth several times to train in Serenia, and he quickly got used to the way.

Although he was a little sorry, he agreed to inform Ethylene and Glett about his identity his by Mercedes and Elsa respectively. What can’t be helped is that both of them have been busy with recent training. It was because I was on the verge of jumping over the wall thanks to the advice Valdez gave me from time to time.

As his body his relieved stress, his usual training efficiency increased, and the water rose for a long time. Because of that, he hasn’t even met him a few times lately. It was meant to focus on training.

When Valdes arrived at the gymnasium, Serenia came first and was waiting for him.

Her face her lit up when she saw his face her.

“Ah… Husband… ♡”

She treated him as her husband in private after that incident in her bathroom.

“You’re here.”

“Yeah, shall we fight right away?”

“Okay!”

A woman longing for her husband’s love took hold of her sword and in an instant she became a master knight and master. She was truly a woman with clear public and private affairs.

“I’m going a little more serious today, Master.”

“… Seriously? So, it wasn’t until now?”

“Let’s call it a different kind of sincerity… “

“Hmm, good.”

His incomprehensible words made her feel slightly noble.

A young husband whom I love enough to give everything to. But he was her disciple her now, and he himself was her teacher her. However, the disciple’s attitude of her was very bad.

“As a teacher… I will guide you.”

As she finished speaking, her legs kicked the floor.

I was well aware of Valdés’ level because I practiced sparring every day. He has body vision, physical abilities, swordsmanship skills, and even handling mana. Of this field, she thought she knew best about it.

He swung his sword with such power that he could see it with his eyes his but could n’t react with his body his, aiming for his shoulder his.

However, her opponent now was Demon Prince Valdez, who was thinking of telling Serenia the truth.

Visor!

“?!”

“Master, you will have to use all your skills this time.”

“…”

She couldn’t answer

The disciple who blocked her sword so easily. The appearance he has shown so far is too different to be said to have shown his hidden skills.

I lowered my sword at a similar speed to confirm, but all of them were blocked. Only then did she feel that something was different.

It wasn’t simply that he had excellent physical abilities and swordsmanship, but something was fundamentally different. Almost to the point of feeling like everyone else. But it wasn’t like he was cursed or possessed by an evil spirit.

“This is going to be a lot to ask.”

“Then ask with the sword.”

“…Okay.”

I swallowed the steamy feeling and focused my mind.

It soothed the tense body, while at the same time wrapped the tension around the body. Excessive tension shrinks the body, but if the level is appropriate, it can be used in various ways.

For example.

Quaang!!

“Kuk!”

“That’s a nice response!”

Like a canary in a mine, I could move my body reflexively. Even in the same threatening attack as now.

“What…?”

Serenia felt a cold sweat run down her back her. She could have allowed the blow if she had been caught off guard. She was, in fact, what she allowed. That is, if Valdez hadn’t adjusted his strength her in the middle.

As if to prove that she did not just rise to the level of Master, she was able to feel the powerful energy felt from Valdes. At least master. That was the realm of a disciple that Serenia felt.

‘What the hell happened?’

It’s a level that can’t be reached at the age of mid-teens. As far as she knew, only one person had attained mastery at that age, the warrior Pedro.

‘You said you hid your status until now? Why?’

Incomprehensible questions kept popping up in my head, but I didn’t have time to think about them one by one.

Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!

“Ugh!”

“Certainly, compared to before, my skills have improved a lot!”

Suddenly, the positions of the two were opposite.

Normally, Serenia would wield her sword and pressure Valdez to bring out his limits his, but now the disciple was overpowering the teacher. It was like taking a test.

‘Previous? Half words?’

Still, it wasn’t completely free, so Serenia somehow squeezed her head to understand the current situation.

I thought, “This is it,” And recalled the past until I met him. Considering the age of mid-teens, it was at most 10 years ago. But she rarely left the capital except for her duties of her, and even then she was a master.

‘Is there something I don’t remember?’

“Is it difficult? A hint then.”

Looking at Serenia who was grunting and thinking, Valdes said.

And right after that, there was a change in the sword that was only swinging violently.

“This…?”

The female knight’s eyes were stained with surprise.

Until now, it had been a series of rough blows. It was closer to violence than swordsmanship.

It was pulled back and then struck down with great force. A series of flat-slash attacks with no significant difference in starting point. Despite Serenia being taller, Valdez aimed effortlessly at her head and shoulders and lowered her sword.

But not anymore.

In the wild storm, the law began to dwell. As if controlling a storm, the natural thing artificially changed and took another form. It was too brutal to be called swordsmanship, and too beautiful to be called violence. I could see the destructive power of the magic drawn with the sword.

The swordsmanship of the one she once admired and loved.

Quaang!!

The hands that blocked the sword trembled.

It was the same with Serenia’s voice as hers.

“Dragon, sir… ?”

A disciple’s smile appeared in her eyes as she unconsciously spit out the words that came to her mind.

“That’s correct.”

Dalian ended with that.

Valdez told her confused woman the same story he had told her princess sister her. However, Serenia had a harder time accepting her truth than they did. It wasn’t because she grew old and became an aunt who was afraid of change.

Her head was full of shame.

“Ahh…”

“It’s okay?”

He sat down on the floor covering his face her with both hands, to the extent that he started talking with concern. He couldn’t even raise his head in shame.

“Are you okay…”

Serenia answered without even showing her face her.

Of course, unlike the princesses who had little to do with the hero Pedro, Serenia had been with him for almost two years. As a companion of the warriors, she spent night and day with her, even killing enemies coming back to back.

And yet, the fact that she hadn’t noticed her until now was what made her feel ashamed of her the most.

Of course, Valdez’s acting his was excellent, and it was even more strange to notice because of the situation that the common sense of the general public did not understand that he had become a mixed race. Still, it was embarrassing enough for Serenia, who considered her hero her as her first love her and respected her mentor her.

Not only that, but it was shameful that she acted as a mentor to a swordsman who had reached the highest level as a human who had taught her swordsmanship. It’s like a child discussing life with an adult. Her advice to him came to mind one by one, making Serenia suffer.

“… Hero.”

“Just call me as usual. Husband.”

At his words her, the body of the female knight trembled in shame. It wasn’t that I didn’t follow what he said.

“That, my husband…”

“Yes.”

“…… Hard work… A lot… No, it was a lot.”

“Uh?”

Serenia raised her head. Eyes half crying.

Unlike her her head her full of shame, her heart her was full of sorry for her and guilt for the pain he must have suffered.

“I’m sorry. I should have stopped Beatrice-sama…”

“It’s okay. It’s already past. It’s a process. Anyway, I’ve forgiven Beth now.”

“Still…”

“Ugh.”

Valdez followed her and bent her knees. Her heart pounded her at the boy’s face her, who had come within reach of her lips if she fell face down. I met his face several times in the daytime sparring at the gymnasium and in the nighttime match in the bedroom, but every time I saw him, I thought of his handsomeness.

“That has nothing to do with you.”

“Is that so…?”

“Yeah. Beth was my main target and you said it like an adjective, but I took you away because I liked you.”

“Stole…”

Serenia blushed at the slightly odd part.

“I can’t say there aren’t political reasons. But I swear to you that my feelings for you aren’t just lust.”

“…”

She doesn’t know what to say and rolls her eyes.

“I love you, Serenia.”

“Ah… Yes, my husband… ♥”

Valdez kissed the master’s lips, who had a grim expression on his face. It was a short and shallow kiss, but during that moment, the two shared a lot of sympathy. Serenia put on a regretful expression, but she didn’t bother or attack.

“I have a question, but by any chance… Since when did you know?”

“What? Did you like me?”

“…Yes.”

“It’s been a while. I’ve only gotten a feel for it recently. I wasn’t even sure about that.”

“Hmm, something feels strange…”

Now I have no idea whether I should like it or be ashamed of it, or if there is another better way.

Looking at the troubled Serenia, Valdez thought it was cute and patted him on the head. Naturally, she rebelled, but stopped at her words and did not avoid or push them away. It’s just that it’s awkward to be petted by her at this age, but looking at her disposition of her, she belongs to the axis that rather pleases.

“Is there anything else you want to ask?”

“About the teacher-teacher relationship…”

Of course, the question of establishing a relationship could not help coming up.

“For now, let’s keep it like this outside.”

“Yes. It’s not like I’m going to show you how to teach anyway.”

“That’s right. If your teacher is you, you’ll be less suspicious even if your skills improve.”

“… Do you have any plans to reveal more power?”

Even now, compared to his age, his skills are not lacking.

Swordsmanship comparable to the successor of a prestigious swordsmanship family. She’s even younger than her. Rather than being treated as a force yet, he was at this level in the time of training, so he was a talented person who would be attractive to any family who did not care about bloodlines.

“Yeah, I’m thinking of becoming a knight, but something big is about to happen.”

“I don’t know what it is, but be careful.”

“Yes. But even if I say that I am Pedro, are you quiet about being the son of the demon king?”

What Valdez was worried about was actually this way. Even Mercedes and Marie thought a lot about this. Of course, it might be because they are the princesses of the country, but somehow, the disparity between humans and demons was not something that could normally be overcome by love.

“I do have a grudge against the demons, but that’s my grudge as an enemy. A lot of people around me died… But I still took revenge. And the hero who helped me with that… No, my husband. “

“…”

Soft tone.

It was different from the solemn Knight Commander or the female who quenched her sexual desire.

It was the voice of a woman comforting the one she loved.

“Serenia… She is more feminine than I thought.”

“… ? What does that mean?”

“It’s just that it’s pretty.”

“Whoops. I know that well.”

This time he tried to kiss her.

Sharing a soft kiss, Valdez thought that he had done well to snatch Serenia. If it was during the hottest days, she was a very precious woman to the current Viscount Hermain.

Currently, he has been evicted from the mansion. He sent some money along with his few packs of his. Thanks to this, the news of the couple’s breakup swept the social world in the blink of an eye. Naturally, public opinion prevailed on Serenia’s side of her.

Since there is no such thing as a separate marriage registration, if the two of them agree, the divorce was quick. In a normal case, it would be a little more complicated since the family would fall apart, but Serenia’s power her was so strong, and Viscount Hermeng had nothing.

There was a possibility that the viscount would spread rumors about their relationship, but Serenia didn’t care, she said. She prioritized Valdes over the gaze of socialites and those around her.

In addition, there was also the sneaky idea of ​​claiming her share in Valdes on this occasion.

But Valdez did not stand still.

He was being monitored through a demonic spy located in the capital. He had no reason to use his hand in the first place, but if he tried to do anything nonsense he would kill him right away.
