“Ah, no! What if it bites me!”
Kesha staggered back, repulsed.
Only Artia Heidegger dared to touch Cerberus so boldly, no one else had the courage.
“I am very afraid, ma’am!”
“Okay, got it. Got it.”
Artia petted Cerberus freely here and there, like touching a country dog.
Kesha kept staring at that sight, finding it amazing.
“Cerberus, I’ll play with you later. I have something to do right now.”
“Woof!”
Cerberus seemed quite satisfied with Artia’s touch, and barked cheerfully.
‘Where to go. What would be nice.’
The duke’s land was very spacious, making it perfect for exercising.
Just as her previous life’s Gang Jeeha was a workout mania, it would be even better to have proper training equipment.
While thinking about it, she suddenly recalled the first day after she reincarnated when she toured the land in a carriage.
There.
A place that looked perfect for physical training.
Artia, without any hesitation, grabbed Kesha’s arm, who knew nothing, and confidently walked towards the destination.
“M… ma’am, where are you going?”
“I had a good idea. Let’s go there.”
“Huh?”
“Do you see it? What do they call it there?”
“Over there?”
“It’s where they used to fight with swords.”
Artia tried to explain the location by circling her fingers.
“Ah, the knights’ training ground?”
“Right, that’s it!”
Artia clapped her hands together with a snap.
Kesha, who didn’t know the way to the training ground from the vast land, called for a coachman.
They arrived ‘there’ shortly by carriage.
“Here we are, ma’am.”
The coachman announced their arrival.
The sky was deeply dyed with the sunset.
Having exhausted herself in the morning, Kesha already seemed completely worn out.
Artia thought again that both she and Kesha urgently needed physical training.
Artia took a deep breath of fresh air into her lungs.
The professional training equipment nicely placed in the vast space.
Artia’s face brightened up.
“Wow, amazing! I couldn’t see it properly because I was too shocked at that time. It looks better the more I see it.”
The ‘place’ that Artia thought of was the training ground of the knights of Wellington, including Casus and Leo.
Clang!
Clang! Clang!
The sound of swords clashing rang out clearly.
Men in armor were fully engaged in training.
As Artia approached, the gatekeeper of the training ground opened his mouth with a surprised look.
“Lady… Duchess?”
“Let’s join in a bit.”
Artia winked and curled up one corner of her mouth.
[This is the time separator]“…….”
The gatekeeper’s face turned red in an instant.
It was his first time seeing the Duchess up close.
Seeing her up close, winking and smiling sweetly was beyond angelic.
The strong rose scent wafting in the wind added to Artia’s innocence.
‘I paid attention to my smell, but it should be fine, right?’
Artia’s silver hair sparkled under the sunset, like a lone flower blooming on a dark battlefield.
“But, Duchess… what did you say?”
The gatekeeper, who had lost his wits to Artia’s beauty and forgotten what she had said, asked again.
“Oh, I just wanted to do some training too, can you let me join?”
“Huh?”
“I’ll be quiet as if I’m not here, can I share the training ground?”
“Ah… of, of course, Duchess!”
The gatekeeper of the training ground smiled broadly as if he was overjoyed.
Artia and Kesha, dressed casually, entered the training ground.
Clang!
Clang! Clang!
The sound of swords clashing rang loudly within the training ground.
The gatekeeper of the training ground asked Artia, who was looking around.
“Duchess, what are you looking for?”
“Just stand still, um. I’ll take a full tour of this place first.”
“Yes! Call me anytime if you need anything!”
‘In a place like this, their sweat smell will mix, so they won’t notice any smell from me.’
Artia scanned the vast training ground.
Perhaps because it was a rough training place.
Not only the smell of sweat, but the smells of earth and all sorts of natural scents tickled her nose.
There was no need to bring any equipment here.
In short, it’s a perfect place that solves all the problems.
The knights, who were training frantically, stopped moving one by one as they saw Artia.
“We greet the Duchess.”
“Duchess, greetings!”
The knights exclaimed simultaneously.
Atia was already a celebrity here.
Until recently, most people didn’t know her face.
The real Atia spent all day locked up in her room, so it was understandable.
Thus, in the Duke’s people’s memory, her existence was gradually forgotten.
However, now everyone knows her, and seeing Atia up close is as popular as everyone’s wish.
Tingling.
A knight training in the corner dropped his sword on the ground, but he was so engrossed in watching Atia that he didn’t notice.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten the fact that Atia was a daughter of the Harad family.
She noticed the knight’s eyes on her and spoke.
“Continue what you were doing.”
“…….”
“Or, should I check your posture?”
Instantly, cheers erupted.
A divine beauty that seemed to ruin the nation.
The mystery that emanates from her unique dreamy atmosphere.
