“I would have dressed in formal attire…”
“I would have brought my cherished bow…”
No, it seems I ended up hearing more embarrassing things.
Feeling the need to clear up the situation, I coughed and opened my mouth.
“Don’t worry about me and continue with what you were doing. I came here for my own training.”
“Sainted Lady is training… Really?”
I blinked.
It wasn’t because the question was unexpected.
The person who asked the question was unexpected.
I stared at him straight.
“Sir William, it is His Grace’s command. If you have a complaint, speak to him.”
“His Grace’s command, you say.”
Sir William pondered for a moment, then nodded.
“I understand. Since it will be a disturbance, I will remove everyone else except Tobias.”
“No, there’s no need for that.”
I shook my head.
“We’ll hardly use any space. Isn’t that right, Tobias?”
“That’s correct.”
Tobias nodded his head.
“We’ll only be doing basic physical training, so there’s no need to exclude others.”
“……To do basic physical training all the way in the training grounds?”
Sir William grumbled in a low voice, but it was clear that he was displeased.
“There’s a reason for that.”
Tobias calmly replied.
“I also think it’s necessary to have other comrades present just in case.”
He subtly pointed at Denesor with his fingertips.
“It’s not an ordinary sword, you see.”
A glint flashed in Sir William’s eyes.
“……The demon sword, is it? Or something like it?”
“Similar.”
“I understand. I will assist you with the saintess’s training near the west exit.”
Tobias briefly saluted and then headed in the direction of the west exit with me.
I waited until there was no one around, then asked him in a soft voice.
“Sir, how much do you know about this sword?”
Tobias grinned.
“His Grace trusts me.”
“……”
I stared at him intently.
Just now, Tobias didn’t answer the question.
He only led me to think as he wanted.
“He must have mentioned the demon sword.”
“If you think that’s all he told me, then you underestimate the trust I receive.”
I decided not to fall for his leading question.
What Tobias knew wasn’t exactly important.
What he would teach me was what mattered.
Fortunately, Tobias didn’t waste time handing me a wooden sword or anything like that.
“Draw your sword. Good, I don’t need to teach you the basic stance.”
He drew his own sword.
“What I’m going to show you now is a basic training motion you can practice on your own. It’s something that children from knight families, regardless of gender, learn.”
“Is Tobias from a knight family too?”
It was a simple question to lighten the mood, but Tobias did not answer.
“……Watch closely.”
I nodded my head, committing each of his movements to memory.
He swung the sword from the upper right to the lower left, then to the upper left, then to the lower right…….
‘What’s this? It’s a basic swordsmanship motion.’
Thanks to having seen it so often in Leodel, it was a familiar pattern.
It was a sequence of 16 actions, but there was no need to deliberately memorize it.
My head already remembered.
“Now try it yourself.”
I raised Denesor.
I wasn’t confident since knowing the movements in my head and actually executing them are different, but I was determined to do my best.
‘Huh?’
The sword moved smoothly, as if it were buttered.
I looked at Tobias slyly after perfectly completing the motion.
I thought he’d be pleased since I did well, but his handsome face was frozen stiff.
‘……What’s wrong? Did I do something wrong?’
Tobias opened his mouth with a serious expression.
“Saintess, have you ever learned swordsmanship before?”
“No.”
I shook my head.
“It’s my first time learning properly.”
“…….”
Tobias was silent for a moment.
“Since you seem to have easily mastered the basic training moves, let’s move on to the next one.”
Then, he wasn’t showing off his dazzling moves, swinging his sword left and right?
Of course, these were movements I had seen many times while playing the game.
I imitated Tobias’s movements without difficulty.
Tobias silently moved on to the next movement.
And then to the next, and the next, and the next…….
Finally, when he put down his sword.
There were at least dozens of knights gathered around us.
I gasped for breath and collapsed to the floor.
In reality, I wasn’t putting much strength into it, but just moving my body was tiring enough.
Naturally, I couldn’t hear what was being murmured around me.
It seemed like I kept hearing the word ‘talent’ over and over again…
Clang.
Tobias threw his sword to the ground.
I looked up at him blankly.
Did I somehow provoke his anger?
A knight I didn’t recognize patted his stiff shoulder.
“Don’t worry about it. It’s not your fault that the Saintess is a genius that comes around once in a hundred years.”
…What did you say?
But the time to be surprised was brief.
I froze at the familiar voice that came from behind me.
“I never knew my lovely baby bird had talent in swordsmanship.”
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
