I Possessed The Villain’s Childhood Friend

62 – Reina Rogelia – 2

Leon was doing various official duties in the office.

Leon, who handles any matter thoroughly and thoroughly, excluding idle thoughts, was actually waiting for one news right now.

And.

“Your Highness.”

A man’s voice rang out with a knocking sound.

It was the voice of Leon’s escort knight, Kernan.

“A letter has arrived from the Duke of Addos.”

“Okay, thank you. Leave it on the desk.”

“Okay.”

The door to the office opened and Kernan armed with armor entered.

He was holding a white envelope in his left hand.

“You are having a hard time, Your Highness.”

“It’s the same for each other struggling to fit their duties.”

At Leon’s light reply, Kernan lowered his head slightly, finished his errands quietly, and left the room.

“Hmm.”

Leon confirmed that the door was completely closed and put down the pen he had been busily moving so far.

Then he shifted his gaze to the letter Kernan had left behind.

On the seal of the letter, there was a picture of a balance with a sword and a shield on each side.

It was the pattern of the Axus family, one of the two major dukes.

“Are you finally here?”

Leon removed the seal without hesitation and opened the letter.

The beautiful handwriting clearly conveyed the news Leon had been waiting for.

From the fact that Reina arrived at the Duke of Axus.

Even the story of being able to move at any time.

“Good.”

Tak!

With the sound of fingers snapping, the letter completely burned and disappeared.

It was unacceptable for the contents of this letter to be leaked to anyone else.

Leon turned his gaze back to the papers he was working on.

It was an amount that, if Leon was serious about, he could finish it well enough in about an hour.

“Kernan.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“Prepare a wagon that can move right away in three hours.”

“A carriage, is it?”

At the sudden request for a wagon, Kernan’s voice was filled with bewilderment.

But Leon didn’t care at all and continued.

“Yes.”

“Do you mind if I ask where you are going?”

“I’m going to Heros.”

I couldn’t see Kernan, but Leon, who said that, was clearly smiling lightly.

★

A sharp stab strikes like a viper.

It was faster than Helen’s fist.

And sharper than Helen.

No matter how specialized a rapier was for piercing, it was a speed that would make you admire.

“Brother. When blocking an attack, you must exert your strength at the correct timing. Didn’t you learn the other day that a moment’s misalignment can lead to a fatal wound?”

“I know, I have!”

But it’s not easy enough to do everything as you say.

Especially for rapiers with a small contact area.

“Suck!”

Even when he tried to swing his sword at the timing of the thrust, Alex had already pulled back the rapier and moved on to the next move.

If this is repeated, the one-sided wounds pile up on my side.

So I had to use the side of the sword to block it with minimal movement.

But this also had to be done with the right timing, as Alex said.

The moment it fails.

“Keuugh!”

In an instant, Alex’s rapier changed its orbit and pierced my gap.

“Ha, ha, ha, ha.”

Rough breathing flows through the arena.

Alex was sweating all over his body and breathing heavily after the 3-hour sparring.

If there is a difference, I am short of breath due to a wound, but Alex is a physical problem.

Although Alex had minor scars, they were definitely less than mine.

“I must be old too. Tired of just fighting like this.”

“Please also consider my position, driven into this level of sparring.”

“Because I can’t be pushed back by the young master yet.”

After saying that, Alex put his rapier into the scabbard with a friendly smile.

It was a signal that the sparring was over.

He slowly pressed his left little finger with his thumb.

With the sound of the door closing with a click, I sat down on the floor.

“Still, you have improved a lot in less than a week. At least 1 out of 5 times you’ll be successful. However, it is unfortunate that the momentary pushing force is lacking.”

That was an accurate point.

It was considered perfect parrying only when the attack was pushed back with firm strength at the perfect timing.

But right now all I can do against Alex is block it at best.

It was still impossible to break his flow and take a counterattack.

“If it wasn’t for the rapier, I could have had a little more success.”

I grumbled at Alex with some displeasure.

Then Alex gently closed his eyes and nodded his head.

“That’s what I said on the first day I started Dalian. If you can parry perfectly against rapiers, you’ll be able to seize a chance to counterattack anyone at least once.”

“….”

It was a complete defeat in both Dalian and Lunar New Year.

“You worked hard, young master.”

“Thank you again today.”

Alex left the arena slowly after being perfectly courteous as a butler.

Let’s admire that figure while swallowing saliva.

“Ike, here.”

Raina came over and handed me a towel and water.

“Thank you.”

It has already been four days since Reina stayed at her mansion.

And it has already been four days since he took care of me after sparring with Alex like this.

“I’ll treat you.”

“Ah, thank you.”

I took off my blood tattered top and left my back to Reina.

I’ll be scolded by Noel again today.

I felt sorry for Noel, who mended his clothes every time, but he couldn’t help it.

“O flowing water. Grace to the stranger before you.”

With Reina’s chanting, the hot body cooled down and the wounds began to disappear.

It was a water attribute healing magic.

Isn’t this the most comfortable thing since Reina stayed?

Even after the sparring, there was no need to go to the infirmary in the mansion.

It was only because Reina cast her healing magic on it.

“Isn’t every day too harsh?”

From behind, Reina’s worried voice came from behind.

“… Is it serious?”

Dalian at home has always been like this, so it may be that my senses are blunted.

Still, it’s much better than before.

Immediately after being possessed. When I couldn’t even swing my sword properly.

Every day she suffered more severe injuries, and there were times when her father’s order forced her to survive only with first aid.

“It’s too one-sided.”

“It can’t be helped.”

This is the Duke of Axus, the apex of the knight family.

Of course, it was not a comfortable place where you could do something with the skill of a low-ranking knight.

That’s why it was given the honor of being the sword that protects the empire, and it’s called another order of knights in the world.

“Maybe Noel is stronger than me?”

“Then it’s better to wear armor….”

“You know that doesn’t work, right?”

Except for exceptions such as the Central Knights, knights make it their profession to fight demons.

And increasing the weight of the body while fighting the beast was tantamount to suicide.

That’s why even in sparring and martial arts, armaments such as armor are simplified as much as possible.

“In the first place, I didn’t get very sick because of the barrier, and now I’m used to it, so I can endure it.”

As I said that, I turned my head slightly back.

Reina kept her healing magic on by biting her lip.

“Don’t think about getting used to it and enduring, think about winning.”

“Of course I want to do that too, but I’m still in a different age group.”

“Huh.”

Reina snorted at her and slapped her on my back with the palm of her hand.

Good! Along with the sound, a cool sensation ran over my back.

It didn’t hurt.

Rather, even though it was summer, Reina’s palms were cool, which made her feel good.

“It’s over.”

“Thank you.”

After wiping her body with the towel Reina gave her earlier, she put on the top she had prepared in advance.

She moved her body around a bit, but of course there was no problem.

“Do you have any plans after that?”

“Well, it’s the same as usual. Finish the rest of the official duties after dinner, and train again until dinner.”

“… Okay.”

Reina let out a sigh and turned her back.

Okay. Rayna will be bored too.

After staying at this mansion, she was naturally treated as a guest.

In other words, there is nothing to do.

Reina has been recognized for her talent, and even though she is a woman, she does a tremendous amount of work every day at her home, she says.

In addition to her usual personality, Reina had a strong workaholic side.

Because she was always studying even in Arcana.

For Raina, her break from not doing anything would be rather boring and tiring.

I want to pay as much attention as possible, but from my point of view, it wasn’t that easy.

The amount of official duties burdened on me is small, but I had to invest a lot of time because I lacked the ability.

It’s impossible to skip training in the first place.

“But I’ll talk to my father in a little while.”

Can I get a day off?

On the first day Reina came, she couldn’t talk much about anything else, so it’s time to have a conversation.

After she returned to her parents’ house, she worked without a day off, so I’m sure you’ll listen to this request.

Maybe this weekend.

I thought so.

“Yes?”

“Exactly as I just said, Ike. After lunch, take Reina and her sheep out of her mansion.”

And somehow she was kicked out by her father.

★

Turning his head slightly back, Ike was tidying up the arena.

Originally, it would have been okay to have other servants do it, but in the Duke of Axus, there was a rule that someone learning the sword would organize the arena.

I glanced at Ike as he swept the ground.

He looked like he had no anguish whatsoever.

“Huh.”

Am I the only one conscious?

At that thought, I unknowingly wiggled my right hand.

After the healing magic was finished, the right hand that struck him on the back was still warm.

And then I thought of Ike taking off his top.

A broad back and stocky physique.

“Yes.”

The heat ran across his face in an instant that I could tell for sure.

Fortunately, there was no one around, and Ike was still busy organizing the arena.

Calm down.

If someone finds out about this kind of thinking, it would be a great shame as a daughter of the Duchess of Roselia.

As I gently held his chest and caught my breath, I felt the heat go down slightly.

“It’s over, Reina. Let’s go back.”

“… Okay.”

Ike, who has finished organizing the arena, walks ahead.

His dignified back figure unknowingly takes away his gaze.

It reminds me of him trying his best to find a way out somehow while understanding the gap between himself and his opponent.

Of course, that figure is cool too.

“But, I hope you don’t lose.”

Because I want to believe that my knight is always the strongest.

At the same thought as a child, I felt like I was about to laugh bitterly.

“What did you say?”

“Nothing.”

Even though I know I shouldn’t be like this, my feelings grow.

Just walking with you shakes my resolve to give up this feeling.

‘Ms. Reina. It’s okay to act comfortably without worrying about anything. No one will reprimand you.’

When I arrived at the Duke of Axus on the first day, there was me who used the words I heard from the Duke of Addos as my shield.

Really, even though I know I shouldn’t be like this.
