Grandpa St. Wolf looked at the drawing we had brought back: "This pattern can be said to be of the same type as the mural that your father found that hides the word 'Dao', the box where the sword is stored on the altar......" He pondered, "Maybe it was his ancestor's weapon?" ”

“？”

"The men who were named the Twelve Nobles were also accompanied by famous swords and axes, and after their deaths, the weapons were either used as heirlooms or to accompany their masters to rest - these can be found in relevant records, except for Lacey's ancestor Roktar, who is said to have used a nameless sword with a strange shape, and no sword name has been handed down. Writing, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info - Don't you think it's strange? A strangely shaped nameless sword? ”

“……”

"And there is no record of his descendants ever using that sword - if the box contained a sword......"

"It's likely that it's the nameless sword inside!" Asa answered.

"Yes, if you connect it with these patterns, maybe it's not a simple nameless sword with a strange shape, but a magic sword from the East that no one knows!"

"Could it be that Lacey's ancestors were Orientals?!" I was shocked.

"It's very possible - but these are just speculations, how far is it from the truth? Actually, we don't know. Maybe it was just a normal sword, maybe it wasn't a sword in that box—even if we guessed it, it probably had nothing to do with Lacey's curse. ”

"Yes......"

Yes, there are too many assumptions. Les......

"Sakura-chan, you go directly to the imperial city, the king has an order to come, and Xiaoxi has already rushed over."

"Huh?"

"If you're lucky, I've heard of an important person going on an envoy to Kesiel with the Royal Trading Ships, and the Windriders have been appointed to send escorts - save yourself the trouble of applying."

“！” I couldn't hide my joy and grabbed Asa's hand. "Asa! Let's go! ”

"Yes! Got it! Ice prism! ”

"Hey, hey! How can I be at your disposal now, my disciples? Wait a minute! ”

Worst! We're in the house now!

I'm only now reacting to what happened, it's too late to stop Asa.

"Stinky old man, bye~" Asa happily waved his hand to Grandpa Saint-Walf, "Luna!" ”

The ice that enveloped us pierced through the roof and flew swiftly.

"Hey, sabotage success!" Asa smiled happily.

"Asa, you ......" I was helpless.

"When the time comes, I'll say I'll obey Sakura's orders~ Haha~ I'm so smart."

“……”

"By the way, it's too far to go to the Imperial City, and I can only fly to the nearest town with my magic power now, and then we can only go on horseback~"

I wondered, "Aren't you a genius?" How did you run out of mana? ”

"There's no way~ I've used it too much for you these days! And I haven't been able to get rest - you want to make me tired!! Asa complained.

"Ahh I'm sorry. I bowed my head apologetically.

"It's good to understand - especially since it took almost half of my magic to make that statue!"

"You're still tired!"

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

The Imperial City of Gulambell, since the founding of the Kingdom of Dorakia, stands at the junction of the Naudoran River that runs through the continent and the trade routes connecting the northern and southern continents, and is not only the administrative center of our country, but also an important trading city. Due to the mixed flow of people, for the sake of royal security, the inner city was built on the side away from the road, and a large number of noble knights' residences were set up around it, and the periphery was a distribution center for commoners and trade, and the four major knights were stationed around the inner city less than a day's journey.

Asa and I arrived at the Windscaron headquarters in the evening three days later.

"It doesn't seem like much has been gained." After listening to our report, my father smiled a little bitterly, "But it's much better than expected—are you tired of the past two days?" ”

I shook my head.

Physically, I'm not tired, but because my partner is Asa - to be honest, I'm really tired.

"Father, I heard that we were chosen—"

"Yes," my father interrupted, "the messenger is already resting in the dormitory room. That Esther had sent the king's order that there should only be four guards, and Asa was there, and that Jana, you, and Asa would go with the fleet to Cacyr and Lacey—who was also there. ”

“！？ Les? ”

My father looked at me with a smirk: "It is said that Lacey will also be in Kesir, so go and meet the messenger." Asa, come with me. ”

Is Lacey also in Caseier? How can it be so coincidental?

I can meet Lacey.

Les......

Although we have only been separated for less than three weeks, we can see each other again.

"Ahh By the way, it's time to meet the messenger! ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

After identifying myself with the guards, I knocked on the door: "Messenger, Sakura, the adjutant of the third detachment of the Wind Knights, is here to report!" ”

"Well, come in! The door didn't close. A girl's voice came from inside the house.

How is it a girl? And it sounds about my age.

I pushed the door open in confusion—

"You're Sister Sakura, aren't you?" The girl in the room stepped forward and said, "Hello! My name is Laxis! Then she looked at me silently.

"......" what? Maintaining an upright posture, I was stunned by her eyes, was there something wrong with me? Yes! Is it because you came in a hurry and didn't pay attention to the outfit? Yes! Worst! What now? Miss Lagers is angry?

"Whew," Lagersis looked at me for a moment, scratching her head angrily, and spat out words of unknown meaning, "It's very strong—troublesome...... Yes! She suddenly shouted, startling me, "I'm sorry! Sister Sakura, sit casually, don't be too restrained~"

After saying that, she took a piece of cake from the basket on the table and handed it to me: "Try the chocolate cake in the palace, it's delicious!" ”

I took the cake and sat down as she said, "Excuse me, you-"

"Oops~ I told you not to be so restrained!" Lagersis waved her hand exaggeratedly, "I've wanted to meet you Sister Sakura for a long time - you're Lacey's swordsmanship teacher?" ”

“？”

How did she ask this?

"Ah~ah~," seeing that I was stunned, Lagersis said again, "Heronies didn't tell you?" What a hassle! She took a piece of cake from my hand and stuffed it into her mouth, scratching her head again, "Hmm, what do you say...... Yes! That's right, that's right, Miss Ben and Lacey walked with me two weeks ago! I told him that the clue to Ogi was in Kecyer, and then I was knocked unconscious by him and almost sold by him! So Xia Nan suggested that Miss Ben go to Caser to find him for revenge! ”

"......" I'm more confused.

What exactly did Lacey do? Found a clue? Stun Lagersis and sold her? Did Lacey do it? Who is Xia Nan? A big mess......

- But one thing is for sure.

"You were with Lacey two weeks ago?" I asked.

“…… Miss Ben said so much, do you remember that? Lagersis pressed her hand to her forehead in frustration, "What a good opponent!" ”

"Ugh!"

"Hey- let's put it that way, ...... two weeks ago"

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

"Lacey is a bit too much." I agree.

"Yes, right? Yes, right? Knocking out Miss Ben is a mistake, and after knowing that Miss Ben is a princess, she escaped without making amends! ”

But if he doesn't run away, will he wait to be punished by you? I thought about it for a moment and swallowed it back.

"So, Miss Ben wants him to know that leaving Miss Ben behind is his biggest mistake! Ahh "Lagersis handed over another piece of snack," said Shanan, the red-eyed idiot who couldn't find a clue in Kecyr without the help of the lord, and with his idiot brain, there was only one way to ask the lord for help. ”

"What?"

"Arena! What other ways can Mercenary City be received and appreciated by the lord? The red-eyed idiot is only qualified if he enters the top twenty in the arena~ That idiot will not use the identity of the Knights - in other words, that identity is useless in a neutral city - he will definitely fight for the qualification with his own hands. ”

This really looks like what Lacey would do - a red-eyed idiot? Lacey, who only knew a tendon, the princess really found a good name for him, "That's all that Shanan said?" How did he know so much about Lacey? Who is he? ”

"Shanan is a very smart man, but he always feels weird," Lagersis scratched her hair, "he said he was a court musician - but he had never seen him at all, and he had a mess of documents from various countries for his profession," she frowned, "It's tiring to talk to him!" The whole bastard. ”

“……”

"But his idea is very good~ Since Reis is going to stay in Kecyr for three months, he suggests that Miss Ben go to see the lord as an envoy - hehe, and teach me to find Teacher Esther to persuade my father - by the way, bring that idiot out of the arena, if it goes well, even Xiao Di will help him find it, hehe~ Such a big personal favor, see how he returns." As she spoke, Lagersis smiled sweetly.

"Princess, you're here for this—"

Lagers seemed to be paying attention to Lacey, but she was ...... Impossible, right? They've only been in contact for less than a week, huh?

"Yes! Ah~ That's right! Lagersis leaned close to me, "Sister Sakura, you're tired just coming back, aren't you?" Would you like to sleep here today? Miss Ben called someone to arrange it! ”

"It's inconvenient, isn't it? You're a princess—"

"Princess, princess, annoying! Come! Sister Sakura sleeps with Miss Ben tonight! Call someone to clean it up! Ragsis opened the door and shouted.

It is rumored that the three princesses of the empire are very willful.

-- The rumors are true.
