89 – Kidnapping Case – 6
Luna von Luitwerth.
As the rightful successor to the Louis Wert family, she has always strived to become a human being worthy of her successor, and she has never once neglected that effort.
As an aristocrat, and as someone who will one day inherit her title, her pride has always made her hone herself and strive to look up to her heaven and not have an ounce of shame.
Because she was like that, she abandoned herself as a woman. She is not a woman, but she is the next head of the Louis Verd family. That’s what she thought, so even though she was in her prime, she never paid any attention to men and at the same time, she was ignorant about men.
But that didn’t mean she didn’t want to lose her first days as a woman in a place like this. Before she was a noblewoman, she was a human being.
‘Please, someone…’ !’
A moment so empty in my heart.
“I can understand why you couldn’t become a sword master.”
His voice was heard.
—–
“What did you just say?”
“I heard you worked hard to become a sword master when you were young. “I understand why it didn’t work out in the end.”
“… “
He came here hurriedly. Only the sound of his footsteps echoed in the quiet warehouse where there was not even a sound of breathing. And when he got closer, he asked me.
“Do you want to know why I couldn’t become a sword master?”
“Yes.”
“What is the reason?”
I said after laughing, deliberately trying to annoy him.
“Think about it. What numerous sword masters throughout history have emphasized is that one must not only master swordsmanship but also cultivate one’s mind. But by falling for the child’s provocation, you are about to inflict a lifetime of trauma on that child. What are you going to do with that kind of mentality? From the beginning, you were a person unsuited to the path of the sword… “
Wow!
At that moment, his face became numb and tinnitus sounded in his ears.
“Do you want to die?”
Becker growled lowly. No matter how much he failed to become a sword master, the pressure of a knight with 30 years of experience was not normal. But if it was going to break here, it wouldn’t have provoked it in the first place.
“It would be easy for you to kill me. Because I’m tied up.”
“I know very well.”
“But what if I’m not tied down?”
Becker gave a puzzled look at those words.
“What does that mean?”
“I was asking what it would be like if we held swords and competed against each other in a loose state. Think about it. A third-rate knight who tried to become a sword master but failed and was reduced to a thief, and a cadet at Arcadia Academy with a bright future on his way to becoming a war hero. “Isn’t it interesting who will win if we put our swords against each other?”
“… “
Gulp. Someone in the hall swallowed saliva. None of the thieves opened their mouths in response to my blatant provocation. This was something I knew from experience. When Becker is in a bad mood, he opens his mouth and his head gets blown off like that guy earlier. But…
“hehehehe… “
Contrary to my expectation that he would cut me down, Becker started laughing. In response, I smiled a little too.
“hahahaha!!!”
Soon Becker’s smile began to turn into a maniac. Becker was laughing maniacally, and while he was laughing, his men just looked at him with puzzled expressions.
“Free him.”
“Great, sir!”
“Free him immediately and give him back his sword.”
“But then… !”
At that moment, Becker placed his hand on the handle of the sword, and with that alone, his men realized Becker’s intention and began to release me.
When I was released, I even received my sword back. I asked as I drew my sword towards Becker.
“Are you sure it’s okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“If you give me a sword, you might die.”
“That’s funny. At first, I was planning on capturing you and ransoming you, but I changed my mind. Lady Luitbert alone is enough to receive the ransom. You die here “For the crime of using my mouth.”
Becker laughed evilly. He took out his sword and started pointing it at me.
“I’ll tell you what happens if you use your mouth carelessly. “Watch your mouth when you go to hell.”
I smiled at those words.
‘To be honest, I have no confidence in winning.’
I thought. Becker had been a knight for 30 years. Even though he didn’t become a sword master, he was still at a level below that level. There is no chance of me winning even if possible.
‘But even if there is no chance of winning, there is a good chance of survival. From my perspective, all I have to do is take time.’
Thinking like that, I aimed my sword at Becker. Becker also pointed his sword at me.
When Becker saw the posture in which I aimed my sword, he laughed lowly.
“Why are you smiling?”
“Even though my experience holding a sword increased, my skills did not easily improve. My skills were spinning in place like a chat wheel. But even if my skills didn’t improve, other things did.”
“What is that?”
“Snow. No matter how talented I am, my eyes on prosecutors are increasing. And those eyes say that you won’t last even a minute before you die from me.”
1 Minute, 1 minute… Could reinforcements come in there?
And before I could think about that, Becker rushed towards me.
“I’ll kill you!”
Beker’s sword cut into my head, and I ducked my head slightly to avoid it. I dodged with minimal movement, but I didn’t dare to counterattack. This is because if you want to counterattack, your posture will inevitably be disturbed, and if that happens, it will not be surprising if you die from a single blow.
“You’re such a rat!”
He raised his sword and struck again, but I lifted my sword diagonally and struck him down. Now I know why this guy was not good at becoming a sword master. Aside from his talent, his dialogue is very typical of a villain.
“Die quietly!”
The guy came in with a series of stabs aiming for the head. I dodged it several times, but due to the intense movement from the previous fight, my stamina began to slowly decline. And at that moment, Luna shouted.
“Stop it! Don’t kill that person! “I’d rather die!”
“That’s not right! “Do you have to wait until the heir of the earl’s family dies to use it?”
“Why on earth! Why did you come out for me! “I’ve only been cold to you until now!”
I wanted to say something nice here, but unlike the easy-going Becker, I didn’t have the time to say anything. I barely managed to dodge his swift sword by a margin of a piece of paper.
“I asked you about it earlier. “I wonder who will survive between the third-rate knights who have become thieves and the war heroes.”
I was in a hurry so I swallowed whatever I said, but that’s probably what I said.
“I’ll give you the answer here. “I, a third-rate knight destined to become a thief, will leave my mark in history by killing you.”

Indeed, is that why they will spare Luna and kill me? He’s an interesting guy.
-Whoosh!
Of course, the sword he was wielding was not fun at all.
As if he was really going to finish this, he stopped searching and began to actively come in. The guy comes in swinging his sword from top to bottom. I twisted my body backwards to avoid it, but the next attack was unexpected. That’s because he kicked my leg with his left foot and knocked me down. And then his sword was pointed at my fallen neck.
“How do you feel?”
“… “
“You, who were destined to leave your mark in history, die here. “I’m asking how it feels to have your future taken away.”
“hehehehe… “
I couldn’t help but laugh.
“What? Why are you smiling? “In a little while you will die.”
“You didn’t notice?”
Even I noticed it. If it had been Glacia, I would have noticed it sooner.
“What are you talking about? Stop laughing and talking! “If you don’t tell me, I will kill you!”
The tip of his sword lightly touched my neck. I felt a stinging sensation and a drop of blood leaked out.
“No!”
Luna ran forward with her arms tied and crashed into Becker’s back. Becker collided with her Luna, but did not fall because her Luna was too small.
“This crazy b*tch… “Do you want to die too?”
“You’d rather kill me. “Charles just followed along!”
“Okay. “I will kill you as you wish.”
Becker grabbed Luna by her hair and pointed her sword at Luna’s neck. And at that moment I said.
“Lord Becker. This is not the time to threaten a child. “Something will happen five seconds from now.”
“What? What kind of nonsense… “
“5, 4, 3, 2”
As he started counting, Becker began to look on both sides of him. There was nothing. And the next moment.
“1.”
-Quaaang!
The door exploded with a loud explosion sound.
And in the aftermath of the explosion, Becker fell.
I took advantage of Becker’s fall and ran towards the door with my sword. And where the door exploded…
“Are you okay? “Charles?”
“Manfred.”
That’s right. Manfred was standing there holding Halbert.
“It’s late. “I would have also given you a chase artifact.”
Manfred took out a red shining jewel from his chest. The jewels were a set of two, and they glowed brightly as the distance between them grew closer. It is often used for chasing.
“I’m sorry. “The mountain terrain was so rough that we had a hard time finding wild vegetables.”
“I wish I could have saved my life. “I will release Luna, and you can arrest her captain.”
“Yes.”
As I approached Luna, I realized something I had forgotten. I asked Becker.
“Lord Becker, you said earlier that even though your sword skills haven’t improved, your eyesight has improved, right? “Then, in your opinion, what level of warrior is Manfred?”
At this, Becker’s hands were seen shaking. In Becker’s opinion, Manfred, who had experienced hundreds of battles, was no match for him.
