Chapter 16: Princess Alicia's New Day

"Boom!"

Andre's long sword was lifted high, and the huge force that rushed in her face made her breathe and staggered back involuntarily.

An icy blade came to a steady stop in front of her throat, piercing her throat with a single probe.

Andre's body couldn't help but stiffen, and the cold sword wind stimulated her skin and hair, giving her the illusion that she had been pierced to death.

The blade of the sword was suddenly retracted, and after a while, Andre regained consciousness, as if he had returned to the world from hell, and commanded his stiff body with difficulty.

Andre's face was pale, but his eyes showed all the bright flashes in front of him, full of excitement and obsession to look at Princess Alicia's palace who was indifferently retracting her sword - in the training ground, the other dozen or so Ice Crown Knights who were training together were also like Andre, sweating like rain, their faces were pale, and they looked up at Her Royal Highness Princess Alicia with admiration.

Alicia indifferently handed the training sword to the knight attendant on the side, and walked to the sidelines with a calm face.

In the fierce battle just now, the siege of the Golden Knight Andre and more than a dozen Silver Rank Ice Crown Knights did not make the beautiful Princess Alicia shed a drop of sweat, and even the bun of Her Royal Highness the Princess's sideburns was the same as before the battle, and it did not change for a minute.

What a powerful Celestial Destiny Knight!

Andre couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart, in the battle just now, Princess Alicia didn't use her fighting spirit, didn't stimulate her bloodline, and didn't use her divine weapons, but just relied on her ordinary training long sword and amazing sword skills to defeat him, the Golden Knight and a small team of Silver Rank Ice Crown Knights, which was too powerful.

Princess Alicia's sword skills are as cold and merciless as the ice and snow in the Northland. Ignoring skill, ignoring false moves, ignoring all superfluous details, only the coldest chill, the deadliest attack, and the cruel and efficient crushing of the opponent's will.

Fighting with Princess Alicia is an extremely painful thing, Princess Alicia's swordsmanship, absolutely san, absolutely efficient, without any hesitation, without any reservations, locking on to the target, the sword is ruthless, and each sword is aimed at your core flaw and fatality.

Once you show your flaws and are at a disadvantage, don't try to move back by any means, any tricks and tricks are useless in front of Princess Alicia.

André painfully discovers how cumbersome and inefficient his starry sword skills, known as the most beautiful "blue star shower" on the banks of the Rhine, are under Princess Alicia's absolutely rational sword skills.

The blue star shower, under the sharp sword light of Her Royal Highness Princess Alicia, is just an illusory firework, beautiful is beautiful, but nothing is the same.

In retrospect, the fatal sword that could not be avoided, the fatal sword intent that froze through the heart, and the insoluble cold that seemed to freeze even life and thinking, made Andre re-examine himself.

Ignoring Andre, the "Blue Starshower" who was in reflection, Her Royal Highness Princess Alicia finished her daily morning exercise and walked out of the training ground, where she was greeted by her personal maid Tina.

"Your Highness, your itinerary for today is that there is a reading salon for Her Highness Eleni to attend in the morning - she has invited you several times, and if you don't go again, I think she will come and stick to Her Highness in person......"

Tina opened a notepad and began to report to Alicia on today's itinerary.

Alicia didn't stop, listening to Tina as she walked. When he heard Elenie's reading salon, his footsteps stopped slightly and nodded imperceptibly.

Seeing Alicia nodding in agreement, Tina couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and continued to report: "...... In the afternoon you will go to the Royal Knight Academy to present medals to the graduating knights with His Majesty......"

Alicia nodded slightly, agreed to Tina's arrangement, and continued on her way.

All the arrangements were smoothly approved by Her Royal Highness the Princess, which made Tina slightly surprised, Her Royal Highness the Princess today seemed to be different from the past, and she was unexpectedly easy to speak.

This is an incomparably beautiful era, without the darkness and war of the early days of the Glorious Age, far from the fanaticism and barbarism of religious rule in the heyday of the Glorious Holy See, and more through the era of great empires with many heroes and fierce annexations of various countries, the three empires that were originally ambitious and encompassing almost the entire continent have also collapsed one after another, and their short-lived founders have been buried in the dust of history together.

In today's world, the borders of various countries are stable, the order is stable, and although wars still exist, there is no longer a terrorist war that affects the entire continent. The aristocracy enjoyed the glory of the past, leaving behind the dark castles and remote countryside, and living in cities full of wealth and civilization, enjoying the comforts and luxuries brought by civilization and commercial progress.

Located at the northern tip of the continent, the kingdom of Ray Grace has always been known for its conservative ethos. Although the cold winds from the Crown Icefield provided the kingdom of Ray Gracena with countless excellent knights who were as resolute and calm as the polar glaciers, making the kingdom of Ray Gracena famous all over the world, and it was known as the "Land of the Lions of the Northland". But in the south of the continent, the civilized countries cultivated by the warm and humid climate of the Harp Sea, they seem to be stubborn and old-fashioned, unable to keep up with the times.

However, since more than 100 years ago, Gusta I followed the reform of the Saint-Fran Empire, built cities, encouraged commerce, and built the magnificent Mosenheim Palace, summoning all the nobles to the court, which greatly weakened the influence of the nobles on their own territory and greatly strengthened the authority and power of the royal family. At the same time, the fashion of the aristocratic court of the southern countries gradually spread to the kingdom of Ryandiana, gradually changing the atmosphere of this ancient country.

And now the younger generation of nobles in the kingdom of Ray Grace has also abandoned most of the conservative and old-fashioned customs of the kingdom, and has begun to yearn for and imitate the popular fashion of the southern countries. All sorts of new things, such as balls, parties, operas, concerts, etc., are also popular in the kingdom of Rain.

Her Royal Highness Princess Eleni, who is full of vigor and interested in new things, is not interested in extravagant and depraved ball parties in the environment of the royal family and the temple, but she is very fond of positive, healthy and artistically beautiful music and opera, and more recently, she has fallen in love with the "salon" that has just become popular among the aristocratic courts of the mainland countries.

Compared with the lively and extravagant ball, the relaxed and romantic salon is more in line with the heart of Her Royal Highness Princess Eleni. She likes to hold an intimate "reading salon" every morning, talking about poetry, fairy tales, fables and other literary arts with her close aristocratic ladies, and also exchanging with each other about the latest popular music and opera.

In the afternoon or evening, a wider range of salons will be held, in addition to close friends, there are also some noble ladies to participate, often also receive some celebrities and scholars, together to enjoy oil paintings, sculptures, music and other artistic crystallization, the atmosphere is relaxed, in addition to talking about art, but also play cards or casual chat. Because of Princess Eleni's status and the other participants, this salon is naturally regarded as the social salon at the top of the court of the kingdom of Rain.

By the time Alicia arrived in the living room where Eleni was entertaining her guests, the "salon" had already begun to grow for a while.
