14 – The wicked woman has a bad night
At the training ground of the Azbel family, where only the clear sound of swords can be heard, there was a woman who did not fit in there.
It was Shael. She vigorously raised her sword.
“Just hit it hard.”
Whoop wow –
As soon as I finished my words, Shael hit the sword hard. Apart from her physical prowess, she had a tremendous talent for swordsmanship.
⋯She had no hesitation with the sword. Anyway, a bad girl is a bad girl. If she’s new to handling cutlery, she’s usually terrified, but… She wasn’t.
The wicked woman doesn’t feel afraid of swinging a blade.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, great.”
Shael sent me a grunt and ridicule.
“Are you doing better than you when you first learned swordsmanship?”
“I don’t know about that.”
Of course not. She was doing better than me when she was just learning swordsmanship. Putting her talent aside, unlike the villain, I was terrified of blades.
“More than magic, much better.”
“⋯Are you from the Azbel family?”
She even enjoyed swordsmanship. Even though it’s a good situation in the position of teaching… Now I have a different idea.
What if, by any chance, the wicked woman uses her powers in strange ways?
At first I thought it wouldn’t. Even now, I still think so.
But she was a villainess. In the novel, she is a villain who even kills my fiancé. So it was natural to be worried.
Maybe not now. But what about later? In the distant future, she might use her powers in strange ways.
Thinking about it, several insurances were needed before the ultimate goal of rehabilitating the wicked woman.
So finding them was my priority.
Whoop wow –
As if she knew my troubles, the wicked woman was still wielding her sword.
“Soon, something like you will win by one shot?”
“⋯?”
A wicked woman who ridicules me and scratches my pride. But she had to change her expression again.
Chae Ae Aeng
Because I also drew a knife.
“⋯What are you doing?”
“I will deal with you.”
It was an absurd proposal. No matter how talented she was, she was a villain who had just learned the sword. There is no way you can win
Of course, it didn’t matter to me. The same was true of the wicked woman. The most important thing for a wicked woman is to defeat me.
“If you hurt me even once, I will lose.”
“⋯!”
Anyway, Sael seemed to think it was worth trying. She straightened her posture right away.
She swung her sword. Except for her sloppy posture, she was perfect.
It was the sound of a sword cutting through the air. Her sword couldn’t cut me.
⋯But is it okay to swing the sword like this?
If I hadn’t avoided it, it was a horizontal slash that would have split my body in two by now.
Anyway, the villain is fearless.
Chae Ae Aeng
The sword she suddenly swung. That was the sound of my sword blocking. Now I’m even looking for when I’m off guard.
“Are you rough? It’s too easy.”
“⋯.”
It was a provocation that no one could get through. To provoke someone who is learning swordsmanship for the first time?
But it wasn’t for the wicked woman. The villainess was sufficiently aroused by her provocation.
“How about setting a penalty with a bet?”
“⋯Ha, a penalty? You think you’re going to win?”
“Yes, I am.”
“⋯.”
She stroked the sword fiercely. It was a silent threat. Do you want to die meaning intimidation.
“⋯So, what is the penalty?”
“How are you, Takbam?”
“⋯I’m embarrassed. It’s just that it’s…, Is it just a night?”
“Yes, I am.”
If the wicked woman laughed at me, it was positive, and if she frowned, it was negative.
When I looked at the bad girl who was ridiculing me, she had a positive expression contrary to what she said.
Predictably, you’re imagining blowing a night out to me. It was she who even unwittingly wiggled her fingers and loosened her hands.
“Do what you do.”
“No, I need two.”
She was a villain who even increased the penalty. I gave her a nod of approval as she wished.
“If you hurt me for 10 minutes, it’s your win. If you can’t, it’s my win.”
Shael nodded in agreement with my words.
⋯The Villainess was surprisingly simple. Does she really think she will win?
I think the compliments I gave her on Shael’s swordsmanship, saying that she was excellent, gave her unfounded confidence.
As expected, her praise is harmful to the villainess.
Whoop wow –
⋯I’m not even ready. Sael swung her sword, not paying attention to my situation.
Of course, the sword never touched me.
It was the same after that.
When she swings her sword, I dodge. After repeating it dozens of times, time was running out before I knew it.
“Twenty minutes have passed, Shael.”
“⋯.”
A wicked woman who approaches me silently. It was time to take the punishment.
“It may hurt a little.”
“⋯Don’t talk nonsense, do it quickly.”
I punished her as she wished.
“⋯Jo, it’s not a little painful.”
It was Shael who appealed to me for resentment. But what, what? It was already spilled water.
She accepted the bet and lost.
“There is still one left.”
“⋯.”
A louder sound than before. She glared at me while holding my forehead.
“⋯”
“The sound is clear.”
“Ha. Please?”
It was not a compliment.
“I meant that it seemed like there was nothing in my head.”
“⋯Do it again.”
Shael said indignantly. Do you want to have a good night again?
“How about three generations this time?”
It was what I suggested to Shael, she nodded her head without even thinking about it. Shael thought she would win this time too.
I didn’t think she would accept it, to be honest. The evil woman’s mental state is completely unknown.
So the sparring between Shael and I began again.
“⋯ Ha.”
The result was obvious. Shael was defeated again. She covered her forehead and glared at me.
He was giving me unspoken pressure that he would kill me if I hit him hard.
Of course, I couldn’t look after her.
Shael glared at me as he wiped her forehead. She’s sorry for her, but it wasn’t the end of it.
“What are you doing? We still have one more left.”
“⋯Ah.”
aaagh!

After learning her swordsmanship, Shael followed her Eran to her own room.
Ah, my forehead is still sore. How could it be possible to have such power with only one night?
It was Shael who regretted it. She said that if she won, she would do everything she could to break my fiancé’s forehead.
“⋯Looks like I’m going to have a hole in my forehead because of someone.”
“That’s true. It’s a pity.”
“⋯.”
Shael vowed to sharpen his swordsmanship and win next time.
The reason why she was able to make this resolution was also thanks to Sael’s enjoyment of her swordsmanship.
It was surprisingly not bad. I don’t know why. Was it because I thought I might one day break my fiancé?
She didn’t know. All she could tell was that she enjoyed swordsmanship.
“How could you hit your fiancé so hard?”
“I am well adjusted.”
“⋯Don’t lie.”
Otherwise, there was no way her forehead would still be sore.
“Would you like to get hit properly?”
“⋯.”
The wicked woman had no choice but to give in to Eran’s bloody words. But she has a future ahead of her. She thought of the weight of pollen she had bought at her auction house. Heavy pollen was an object that made the body heavy.
Today’s incident drew Eran’s attention. So she will definitely be able to win next time.
While Shael thought about that, she silently walked along Eran.
From the Azbel family’s training ground to the Azbel family’s mansion. It was quite a distance.
Shael and Eran were on the flower field road in the middle. It was also her favorite promenade.
It was the first time she passed this place with Eran, her fiancé.
She likes walking trails. She thought that if she came here with her goddamn fiancé, she would feel very bad.
But if you think about how she feels right now…
It wasn’t a good thing. But it wasn’t as bad as I thought.
Is that because Eran is suitable for venting anger? She couldn’t know How can today’s work become a way to vent one’s anger?
She was rather bloodied by her first and her fiancé.
It is completely unknown how she feels. It was also a feeling she had felt a lot lately. Whenever I felt this strange, Eran would be around.
So she was mean to my fiancé.
“Walk straight, Eran.”
“I am walking correctly. You should keep your eyes open, Shael.”
“⋯.”
She canceled the evaluation saying that walking with Eran on her trail wasn’t too bad.
Yes, going for a walk with my fiancé… Was more repulsive than ever.
As she stroked my forehead, which was still tingling, the wicked woman thought about that.
