Chapter 65: What the Sword Blade Pointed To
......

......
"So, these are the reports of this incident?" A sly smile crossed Ikavia's face, as she swept the pages of neatly printed paper with neat handwriting as she let Berdeona beside her change her clothes, and reclined lazily on the beautifully decorated chaise longue.

"Yes, because I gave priority to the city defense work after I came back, the report was submitted a little late. β
The knight's answer was still neither humble nor arrogant, his long golden hair flowing down his shoulders and chest, and this time, Kyle hadn't forgotten to take off his helmet when he entered the place.
"Well done. And, it looks like there's a 'windfall'. β
"What do you mean?"
"Ah, you even asked me what I mean?" Raising her arm seemingly reluctantly, she let the serious-looking maid drape herself in a mink fur coat, and the female lord tilted her head in suspicion, so that anyone could see that this was nothing more than acting, "Of course, that 'traitor' Alphonse." β
She deliberately accentuated the tone of the word "traitor".
"Well, it means this thing......"
In the face of Ikavia's seemingly meaningful speech, Kyle, who had been silent for a moment, did not finish his words.
"Don't you look happy?" The heroic and graceful sword raised her eyebrows, and the female lord changed her posture, this time turning her entire body around and facing the captain of the garrison of the Flower Moon Capital.
"Ah, Ikavia-sama, you're like that again, you haven't dressed yet!"
A mansion, among the hundred maids, the only one who dares to speak to the female lord in such a tone is Berdeona, who is the head of the maid, compared to Ikavia's tall and relatively petite body, she has too much power that is not lost to her master.
And this is also Ekavia's training, who would have thought that this girl was a cowardly little girl who would tremble with fear just by seeing the female lord half a year ago?
"Okay, okay, that's fine, who says you have to wear all the clothes?"
"That's, that's not a reason!"
"It's good to be conscientious......"
Raising her head and looking at Berdeona's puffed soft cheeks, the female lord suddenly raised her arm and pinched the face of her lovely maid, but she did not receive the exclamation she wanted to hear.
"I won't let you succeed. β
With the perfect smile on her face, the maid's eyes narrowed to let Ikavia know that she was about to "have to" compromise again.
There's no way, who can let themselves never be ruthless to the people around them? Besides, if you're used to being strong, it's not bad to learn to back down once in a while?
"Oh well. The above is not what she really thinks. The folded legs changed positions, and then the female lord who slowly stood up finally made a compromise, watching the girl behind her finally begin to continue the work of changing clothes with satisfaction, and Ikavia, whose eyes were full of pampering, turned her head, ready to continue the conversation with Kyle before.
She didn't care if this meaningless joke would have any bad effect on the captain of the garrison, after all, he should have been used to it a long time ago.
What's more, it's still a pretentious move.
"Where did you just go?"
"As I said, you're wondering why I'm not happy to have gotten rid of the 'traitors' of my family and the peninsula. β
"yes, that's it, and what about your response?"
The smile turns back to playfulness, and the longer the "teasing" lasts, the more interesting the subsequent "outburst" will be, and the more things will be revealed.
This is the experience summed up by the female lord who has been plotting people's hearts for many years.
"That's what I'm supposed to do. Kyle's bland response surprised Ikavia, "As a general and a soldier of the Peninsula Alliance, killing betrayers and enemies who have brought heavy losses to the Peninsula in the course of his mission is just a small thing, a very ordinary thing. β
While saying this, the knight, with his helmet in one hand, even gave a military salute to the "dictator of the peninsula".
β...... I thought that the culprit who had committed such a great crime as the massacre of important state officials and the theft of state secrets would make you a little happier, after allβ" waved his hand to order the chief maid who had finished changing her clothes to step aside, and Ikavia, who was slowly approaching the knight in front of her, held her arm and made a crisp voice with her high heels as she walked with her leisurely steps, "He is also the culprit enemy who killed your whole family and caused the Nubora family, which was once known as 'half of the country of Comerik', to decline." β
As she looked closely, the female lord walked around Kyle, pausing before returning to her chaise longue, leaving only a back for the knight who was staring indifferently ahead.
"Yes, Alphonse is the enemy of the entire peninsula and my enemy. The man's words suddenly paused, and at this moment, Berdeona, who sensed that the surrounding atmosphere had suddenly become oppressive, couldn't help frowning.
"But he's still my brother. β
His tone was heavy, and there was no confusion in his eyes, and the guard captain's gaze that shot straight behind Ikavia's back turned like a sharp arrow.
- This is too arrogant!
If it weren't for the fact that there was a problem with her hearing or comprehension, then the tall man's words seemed to directly refute the adult's remarks, how could it be?
- How dare he say such a thing?!
"Oh, it seems that you have 'doubts', is it because of the strange way that person behaved in battle? Could it be that you, as one of the five great generals of the peninsula, are also confused by blind family affection, and do not believe the facts that you have seen with your own eyes?"
Ignoring the gaze behind her, which gradually turned into a "murderous" aura, the female lord smiled and shook her head, and began to prepare more words in her heart. The game was just beginning, and it wasn't enough to get straight to the point, and at the moment, she just wanted to get more out of Kyle's performance.
But what is she enjoying?
β...... Allow me to retract my previous remarks and get rid of the traitors who defected to the enemy on the peninsula, this should be a great achievement, right? It's not that ordinary, well, I still have selfish intentions. β
The tension subsided instantly, and instead of answering Ikavia's question directly, Kyle, who hung his head, suddenly said something else.
"Ah, yes, I should reward you well. The female lord, who was "unexpected" again, finally turned around and said, "What do you want? gold coins and precious stones? But money seems to you to be just something outside of your body, so what about fame? I need to publicize it, or publicly commend you, and give you some honors and so ......on."
Licking her moist lips, the softness of the corners of her eyes was enough to break the psychological defense of any "normal man".
"Or do you want to sleep with me for the night?"
"Ikavia-sama!"
I wanted to shout it, but on the one hand, I knew that it was just a joke, and on the other hand, I knew that Berdeona, who was becoming more and more incomprehensible about the current situation, I just had to watch it carefully.
"Neither, there's only one thing I'd like to ask you to reward me, whew-" Raising his head again, the knight, who seemed to have ignored everything, suddenly showed a flirtatious smile that he would never normally appear in a formal setting.
"I want to know the 'truth', can you please give me an answer?"
All kinds of elements suddenly gathered in large numbers, and as soon as the words fell, Kyle's next action made the steady expression of the maid on the side, who thought that he had completed his cultivation, change drastically!
It was here, in the heart of the Flower Moon City, Ikavia's mansion, that the captain of the garrison of Commeric City drew his sword from his waist and aimed his sword at the person in front of him, his boss, and the de facto leader of the Peninsula Alliance.
Ekavia Trodu!
