"You! bold! you...... Do you know what you're doing!?"

The anger from her heart made Berdeona tremble, and she could never have imagined that Kyle, as Ikavia's most trusted right-hand man, and the captain of the garrison who should protect Ikavia's safety, would do such a rebellious thing as pointing his sword at his lord.

"Don't get rid of your weapons yet!"

The chief maid who stepped forward quickly was stopped by Ikavia.

"He likes to draw his sword, so let him do it. After all, as a warrior, a weapon is equivalent to his life, isn't it?How can you casually let people drop their weapons?" The "lark", who stretched out her arms to block the protector's heart, did not show any emotions such as anger and surprise in the face of the facing sword, and the female lord with a normal expression showed appreciation.

"Well, that's not exactly what I do. After all, I don't lose half of my combat power after losing my weapon like most fighters, and I often throw my weapon in actual combat, don't you know this best?"

With a smile in his eyes, at this moment, the knight who was making a "big rebellion" in the eyes of ordinary people was actually very slack, or absent-minded.

It's just that he held the long sword in his hand tighter as he said that.

"That's right. ”

"Ikavia-sama!"

The female lord responded lightly, and her next action caused the chief maid to cry out in surprise again.

"Goo...... It's not clear who is threatening whom. ”

A helpless speech came out of his mouth, and the embarrassed knight's heart "popped", and Ikavia's indifferent attitude made him suddenly realize how stupid what he was doing now!

Everything is still under her control.

"Threat, then, are you trying to threaten me? But I don't even feel the slightest 'danger'. ”

Facing the knight's sword, the female lord's choice was to step forward slowly! Ikavia lifted her proud neck, and her flawless and tender skin kept approaching the sharp tip of the sword, but the smile on the corner of her mouth became more and more wanton.

The female lord knew that Kyle could never have actually stabbed her in the throat. Of course, if he can really stab him ruthlessly, then there is no doubt that his evaluation of him will be improved by another one, no, at least two notches.

"It seems so. Seeing that the cold blade was about to be attached to Ekavia's neck, which must have been very warm after bathing, Kyle, who knew that he had chosen the wrong way, simply withdrew his sword, looking like he had already resigned himself to his fate, "It's me who overestimated the level of anger and irrationality I have. ”

"It's a good thing that you can change your mistakes. But in fact, you still estimate your own abilities, huh......" The smug smile abruptly stopped the moment Kyle put the sword down, and the female lord with a bit of sternness in her tone stopped moving forward at the same time, and turned leisurely to walk back to the chaise longue, but suddenly yawned.

Her languid gesture made Kyle shudder.

In an instant, the captain of the garrison of the Flower Moon City felt something more terrible than death. How is it possible? It should be the most relaxed state, but why is it ......? Flawless?

Cold sweat itself flowed from the forehead of a battle-hardened warrior. As a human being, his survival instinct told him that if, only if, if he really stabbed the long sword just now, then it would only be ...... "me" who would lose his life in the time he couldn't react?

"How, see? I thought you could be smarter, well, all of them, why didn't you just make it?" Throwing her body that wasn't as light as it looked onto the quaint recliner woven of vines, Ikavia's words contained only a gentle reproach, not the slightest hint of anger or blame for Kyle's "outrageous" behavior.

"Hah...... It's me, it's me who overestimates myself. ”

With no choice, the knight could only frankly admit that it was he who overestimated his own weight and at the same time underestimated the horror of the female lord.

"To be honest, I didn't expect you to draw your sword so quickly, and in my imagination, this should be your last resort when you're teased by me until you have no way out. ”

"Ikavia-sama?"

The female lord's leisurely speech made the chief maid beside her stunned again, and the strange atmosphere since the meeting between the two was put aside for a moment, and now the meaning of this sentence is ......

"Birdona, there's nothing to do with you here, get out. ”

"Adult ......"

"It's an order. The serious expression only lasted for half a second, and after inadvertently catching a glimpse of the girl's pitiful eyes, Ikavia finally relented, "Well, you don't understand what we're talking about anyway, listen to me, can you go out first? ”

But he ...... Well. ”

I wanted to argue about something, but Ikavia's gentle gaze calmed all the bad feelings in the hearts of the chief maid who was worried about her comfort, yes, since the great Lord Ikavia said so, it meant that nothing "accidental" would happen.

"Forgive me for retiring. ”

He bowed deeply to the female lord who was sitting on the chaise longue, and before leaving, he didn't look at Kyle, who was quite helpless, with two meanings of disappointment and warning. Remembering her duty as a maid, Baldeona turned to salute again as she left, and closed the door softly.

"Well, isn't she cute?" asked Ikavia, smiling as she folded her legs again. However, perhaps sympathizing with the knight's embarrassment at the moment, the female lord, who was determined to restrain herself, instantly changed her words, "Then Kyle, I have something to confirm from you. ”

“......”

"I don't want to ask for your consent, this is my one-sided question, you should think carefully before answering. Turning sideways, Ikavia tapped the chair with her green jade fingers, and the seemingly casual movements combined with her speech would bring a huge sense of oppression, "That 'traitor', no, let's change the story when it's just the two of us, otherwise wouldn't it seem that I'm too insincere?

"Whew...... Excuse me. ”

With a long sigh of relief, Kyle, who no longer cared about the sneering words of the female lord, knew that he had lost any initiative in the future. In fact, he could only temporarily press the uneasiness in his heart to deal with the question, because he knew that the next answer would most likely determine his fate.

Even the fate of his older brother, Alphonse, who was considered by everyone on the peninsula to be an unpardonable "betrayer".

"That man, what did Alphonse tell you? It doesn't matter if you don't answer this question, the key is the question that follows. Where do you want the sword in your hand to point?"

"In other words, for whom are you going to wield your sword?"

Southwell, also known as the "Land of War", is a land where war and fighting are topics that cannot be escaped. And everyone, whether active or passive, there must be a reason why the "warrior" wants to fight.

So, what about Kyle's reason for fighting?

That's Ikavia's problem.

According to his answers, the decisive female lord will decide whether to execute the "confidant general" who has followed him for more than ten years without hesitation, or tell him the "truth" of the matter.
