97 – Northern Resolution
Cynthia and her three assistants took their seats.
Basic swordsmanship 1. Class has begun.
Cynthia calling the attendance list.
“Cotton de Kiefer.”
“Yes!”
“Joachim Innin Liechtenauer.”
“…… Yes.”
“…… Evan.”
As Cynthia reached Evan, she felt her breathing becoming shaky.
“Yes.”
Evan looks at Cynthia with concentration.
Cynthia knew that Evan was showing signs of being her student.
I would like to apologize now for what happened in the past.
‘…… Let’s focus.’
Cynthia, who was staring at Evan, turned her gaze to her attendance list.
Being seen as a professor is probably what Evan also wants.
Evan is now taking the posture of a student.
But Cynthia couldn’t help the fact that she kept getting bothered by Evan.
“I’d like to talk about mental theory.”
Cynthia sat upright and spoke in front of the students.
All the students sat down in an orderly manner and looked at Cynthia.
“As aspiring knights, we need to know why we swing our swords. A weapon that harms people. But it depends on the person wielding it. So we must use the sword of protection.”
Continuing mental theory.
A thief and a knight are two pieces of paper apart, so we must think about morality.

Most of them were focused, but some showed signs of being bored.
Evan just memorizes.
‘If you want to get the highest score, you just have to memorize the whole thing.’
Memorizing it was easy for Evan.
After talking about spiritual theory, it is time to hold the sword in earnest.
Cynthia showed off her head cuts, back cuts, and wrist cuts.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Hiss!
Cynthia’s rapier swings sharply.
Cynthia glanced at Evan as she unfolded it.
Perhaps, her posture might be strange.
Since she was already teaching Evan, Cynthia did not want to seem inadequate.
As for Evan, she was just memorizing, so she just stared.
There was no particular change in Evan’s expression.
“…… You’ve all seen it, right? From now on, we will practice cutting the head, cutting the back, and cutting the wrist. First, look in the mirror and swing the sword slowly. The reason I have a mirror is to correct my posture. Correcting your posture is… “That’s the purpose of swordsmanship training.”
“Old!”
“I understand!”
New students answering questions with their eyes shining brightly.
They looked very excited after seeing Cynthia’s elegant swordsmanship.
She wonders if she can be like that too.
Cynthia said.
“Teaching assistants, please look after the students.”
“Ugh!”
“Oh!”
Logan, the male teaching assistant, and two female teaching assistants went among the students.
Teaching assistants begin to point out students’ incorrect posture.
Cynthia looked at Evan.
Evan was copying Cynthia’s movements exactly.
If Evan wanted to correct Cynthia’s movements, she would have done everything she could.
Imitating the professor’s movements is the way to get the highest score.
It was different from last year in Cynthia’s memory.
‘Evan…… Last year, he just waved his sword roughly and looked at me.’
That’s why Cynthia hated Evan.
Cynthia was crazy about swordsmanship.
Cynthia felt guilty.
Last year, she felt like she was such an idiot.
No matter how much I think about it, I regret it.
‘…… ‘I owe Evan an apology.’
What I decided to do earlier.
If he has any grudges left, I want to resolve them.
Did Cynthia’s harsh behavior leave a scar on Evan?
Evan is already a precious person to Cynthia, so it cannot continue like this.
Cynthia placed her hands on her tight chest and took her heavy steps.
Pretending to look after the students.
As Cynthia approached Evan, Juri, who was next to her, pretended to know.
“Sister!”
Juri swings her sword, then turns her head and speaks.
Cynthia spoke quietly.
“Now… “It’s lecture time, so pay attention.”
“Oh, yes!”
Juri begins training in swordsmanship again at Cynthia’s words.
After hearing the conversation between the two, the surrounding students’ eyes widened.
Juri thought she was simply Evan’s younger sister, but she and Professor Cynthia are also her younger sister?
Professor Cynthia is from Gramberge?
In the students’ minds, Juri’s student rank instantly broke through the ceiling and rose into the sky.
An untouchable being.
A person who has surpassed the ranks of students.
Isn’t that about it? The students felt fear.
Juri had no idea.
Poof! Swish! Whick!
Evan swung his longsword like a rapier.
Fast sword speed, reminiscent of Cynthia.
Cynthia paced by Evan’s side in silence.
She came to apologize, but she couldn’t open her mouth.
…… Should I meet him after the lecture?
Cynthia said she didn’t want to embarrass Evan as much as possible.
“If you have anything to say, you can say it.”
Evan said as he stopped his sword.
The attitude I am taking now is to reach the highest point.
This is not Evan’s favorite posture.
So, you can talk to Cynthia who is hanging around Evan.
“… ….”
Cynthia secretly surrounded Evan and herself with her magic.
If this happens, the sound will not leak out well.
“…… “I was sorry.”
Cynthia apologizes while recalling the past.
Evan didn’t know why Cynthia was apologizing.
“…… ? “What have you done wrong to me?”
At Evan’s question, Cynthia felt like her heart was being pressed.
Will it bring back bad memories of Evan?
Nevertheless… Something that cannot be avoided.
Cynthia spoke quietly, like a criminal confessing.
“Last year I… You said a lot of harsh things to Evan. She was also blacklisted… “I want to apologize for that.”
“It’s okay. “I did something.”
Evan didn’t care about what Cynthia brought up.
It is also the fault of both parties.
Actually, she did chase Cynthia around.
Cynthia was relieved.
Luckily, she didn’t seem to be hurting him too much.
Evan looks calm.
Still, I guess I should be nice to him now.
Of course, Cynthia is still working hard.
Cynthia felt unfulfilled.
She honestly wants to ask him about what happened with Marquis Ashur.
Evan wants to ask if she is really going to get engaged to the Marquis of Ashur.
How many months have I been unable to ask? ….
Cynthia was out of breath.
It is difficult to say that now that the students are gathered.
Actually, I was going to apologize after the lecture.
“…… Sorry.”
Although Cynthia said she was okay with Evan, she apologized again.
This is an apple with a different meaning.
She said this because she could not control her feelings for Evan.
※
North, Gramberge main town.
The office of Marquis Liam of California.
Liam, who was doing office work at his desk, put down his pen after hearing the secretary’s words.
“……….”
Marquis Liam, who is characterized by his quiet nature.
The injuries inflicted by the Yeti chieftain are almost completely healed, and Liam has recently been only disinfecting the wounds.
Thanks to you, the family has now almost returned to normal.
Liam could not easily overlook the scribe’s words.
“…… “What did you say just now?”
“Ugh… hahahaha, I heard from Hecate that Lady Cynthia has no income.”
Marquis Liam’s eyebrows moved.
After the war with the barbarian queen Sapa.
As soon as Liam came to consciousness, he began restoring the wall and stabilizing the North.
It’s almost safe to say that Liam led the charge alone.
Liam could have left it to Cynthia, but she boldly excluded Cynthia from the work.
To send Cynthia to her outside.
Outside, there was Evan, who saved the North.
“With that child… “You mean we haven’t met?”
“Well, that’s not it. It is said that Lady Cynthia often met Sir Evan. It is also said that Sir Evan will be attending a lecture by Lady Cynthia this time.”
“……….”
Liam became serious.
Are you saying that nothing happens with Evan even though we have so much contact?
Marquis Liam rubbed his eyes.
This wasn’t just Cynthia’s problem.
“…… “You don’t know how to treat men.”
Liam said with a light sigh.
I sent Cynthia to have a good time with Evan, but there was no news…….
Liam remembered.
She is Liam’s only wife, Eris, who died giving birth to Selene when she was young.
Cynthia and Selene grew up without a mother since childhood.
Liam has been watching her children alone.
‘I didn’t teach my children about dating and marriage.’
Although a nanny was assigned to Cynthia and Selene and they were given s*x education.
You probably haven’t learned how to seduce a man.
In today’s era, arranged marriages between families are more common than love marriages.
Among the nobles.
‘Cynthia didn’t ask me to get engaged to Evan.’
Liam also has insight.
The fact that Cynthia has a crush on Evan.
Otherwise, she would not have gifted the river water of Slid, a precious treasure of the family.
More than anything, Liam was very interested in Evan, who wielded the 8-star Sword of the Winter Queen.
“That child… “Did she say she has a future fiancé?”
Marquis Liam has already completed his investigation into Evan.
Liam asked the secretary as if to confirm.
“Yes, my name is Her Excellency the Marquis of Ashur.”
Marquis of Ashur.
A mysterious noble family.
However, Gramberge’s outstanding intelligence ability allowed him to know the approximate identity of the Marquis of Ashur.
“…… The Marquis of Ashur is someone’s fake identity. If you were confident… She must have been engaged to that child in her real identity, so there was no need to go through the trouble of adding a preliminary engagement. In other words, there must be something holding you back.”
“…… “What do you mean?”
“Set a schedule.”
I will go there myself.
Marquis Liam ordered the secretary.
The family work is almost over, so it is possible to go outside for a while.
“…… !”
The secretary was surprised.
Marquis Liam rarely went out of Gramberge unless he was called by the imperial family.
I said I would go outside to see a boy.
‘I see you are planning to have marriage talks with Lord Evan!’
The secretary was very nervous.
If Evan and Gramberge’s marriage talks proceed, there will be friction with her future fiancé, writer Ashur.
In other words, a war broke out between Ashur and her engagement to the writer.
Blue flames flickered in Liam’s eyes.
