34 – Hope to see you more often

The moment the time passes from 3:59 to 4:00.

“Quarterfinalists! Lord Moonlight is entering!”

A boy knight entered with the shouts of the guards.

A unique helmet and quality leather clothes.

Cornelia immediately recognized the moonlight at the same appearance as during the Humbaba Central Conference.

‘Ah… ….’

The anxious mind until now disappears like a lie.

Cornelia reacted one beat late to the sight of her silently walking to the center of the drawing room and bowing her head.

“Come on…… Come, Moonlight Ball.”

She

Thought she wasn’t coming.

It wasn’t until 4 o’clock that he appeared.

But he finally showed up. At the place prepared by Cornelia. That alone made Cornelia happy.

“Thank you for your hard work coming this far.”

Cornelia added kindly.

Wolgwang lowered his head, then raised his head again and looked around. His gaze stopped at Sias.

From noble mtl dot com

“You’re here at last.”

Sias grinned. Sias dressed in riding clothes that are easy to move in. It is a look prepared for confrontation. Moonlight nodded slightly.

A sign that Sias has accepted the challenge. A deep smile bloomed on Sias’ face.

‘So, when can the sparring start?’

Whether it’s a dinner party or something, Moonlight came to sparring with Sias.

It’s been a while since I’ve had a kid who knows the heart of a knight.

Seeing the moonlight clearly, Shias shrugged his shoulders.

‘They said we should do sparring, but haven’t we decided on a location for the sparring? I don’t mind fighting here.’

Wolgwang turned her head to the princess. She’s the host of her dinner party. The princess met eyes with the moonlight and said with her eyes shining.

“Since there are two hours left until the dinner party, shall we all take a tour of the princess’s palace? Butler.”

An old man in a suit called the head butler knelt down on one side of the drawing room.

“Yes, poor princess.”

“Guide the guests to see the Palace of Stars freely.”

“Okay.”

The butler walked forward and clapped his hands. Soon several maids attached to the participants and led them out of the drawing room. The same goes for moonlight. The princess rose from her chair.

“I need to prepare more.”

“Where are you taking me?”

I hate wasting time.

The maid who promised to guide me went up to the top floor of the princess’s palace, and she opened the large door.

The scenery inside, visible through the cracks in the door, was the princess, the female knight, and the butler.

I heard that more preparations are needed, but the princess seems to have come to see me.

“Sorry if I offended you, Lord Moonlight. Please come inside Inside, the princess and Sir Rose are waiting.”

The maid bowed her head deeply, and she stepped back.

I guess you called me out like this because you saved the princess the other day. Somehow, I heard that he was suddenly giving me a tour of the princess’s palace.

When I went inside, a female knight named Rose firmly shut the door.

A place that looks like the princess’s bedroom.

It must be a place outsiders can never enter, so did you guide me here?

Cornelia greeted me.

“It is an honor to see you again like this. I, Cornelia Innin Ishtar, thank you now that I couldn’t say before.”

Cornelia lowered herself, holding the hem of her dress. For the royal family to give up their status and say thanks is the best courtesy.

Although I often received it when hunting witches.

“First of all… Will you accept these?”

Along with Cornelia’s words, Rose brought a sword and a device wrapped in a cloth. One was a fancy sword engraved with dragon patterns, and the other was a silver device.

“This?”

“Ascalon, the dragon slasher, and a special device we developed. I won’t be able to repay all of my benefactor’s kindness with this, but I hope you will accept it.”

Dragon Slayer Ascalon.

Injecting magic power rapidly increases its cutting power, making it a good sword for slicing dragon scales. It’s definitely not a bad sword, but I have something to point out.

“Afterwards, I will engage in sparring with the divine sword, Altair. Can you arrange a place for it?”

Without receiving weapons and devices, I asked.

If you don’t get the sword and device and meet Altair, these are just scrap metal.

What I want is a strong real opponent.

The princess and Rose opened their eyes wide as if they had heard something completely unexpected.

“Altaïr… Commander of the Royal Guard?”

“Yes.”

“The new sword, Altair, is fighting dragons right now…….”

The princess questioned, and Rose hinted at Altair’s residence.

The dragon’s abode is to the east. Because the first dragon, Basmu, lives in the huge mountains to the east. It is a place where numerous dragons are united around the best dragon.

Are you saying Altair is in the east?

Rose averted her gaze, troubled.

“That… ….”

Her words trailed off as Rose pondered her answer and her Cornelia hung up.

“Rose, it’s okay. Don’t worry, Benefactor. Altair Guards Commander has a debt I erased. The commander of the Royal Guard decided to listen to my request. Are you going to have to sparring in the near future?”

“No, it will take some time.”

To fight Altair, you must at least complete the 3 swords of Gaebyeok.

He’s probably a strong man similar to the 5 plagues. It is rude to face such a strong person without preparation. Wouldn’t it be worth fighting if your physical ability was at least A?

Cornelia cautiously pointed at the device with both her hands.

“If you are ready, please contact me via device. I prepared a device because I wanted to be of help to my benefactor at any time.”

A device specially made by Cornelia.

I lifted it up and channeled the mana. Even if I’m not familiar with magic, I can tell what kind of magic is inside. For example, magic to find out my location. To find out where I live.

When I checked, there was no location tracking magic. It feels pure intention.

Are you saying what you want through the device?

“No device. But no weapons are needed.”

I was offered many swords in my previous life, but I didn’t accept them.

A good weapon makes people loose. If you rise above a certain level, you won’t even need a sword. The reason I carried an iron sword in my previous life was to remember that I was a swordsman.

“In that case, we will keep Ascalon. Please let me know if you ever need anything.”

Cornelia politely bowed her head.

Is there anything you need?

“Do whatever you want.”

Wouldn’t it be nice to try swinging it for entertainment later?

After her time of small reward was over, Cornelia let out a sigh of relief.

“I… Actually, I was worried that my benefactor would come.”

Cornelia puts her hands together and closes and then opens her eyes.

There is dignity in polite movements.

‘Originally, I didn’t want to come.’

Eating boringly is a waste of time.

It is better to meditate at least once more at that time.

But Shia’s kid sent a challenge, so she complied. Sias’ spearmanship he saw at the Humbaba Central Conference was quite different, so he wants to see it at this point.

‘Looks like he has quite a bit of practical experience.’

Sias’ movements belonged to those who had experienced the battlefield. If I use less mana, I wonder if I’ll be on the right level.

“Thanks again, Moonlight.”

Cornelia told me with her bright face. The princess’s tiara and silver hair glistened in the light of the chandelier.

I shook my head.

Dealing with the dark knights was for real combat experience, not specifically for the princess.

“It wasn’t something I did to be thanked.”

“As expected…… It is very upright.”

For some reason, Rose is staring at me with her hot eyes. Rose clenched her fists.

“Besides, the appearance of wanting to fight with Shingeom-sama… The mindset is different. The Moonlight View is truly an example of a true knight!”

“Ah… I-I agree.”

Cornelia reluctantly agreed.

Kisara… Well. I am not very interested in chivalry.

Only interested in swordsmanship.

“I want to fight with Shias. Do you have a set schedule?”

I got to the point. I want to know the Dalian schedule soon.

At my words, Cornelia and Rose met each other’s eyes and smiled awkwardly.

“Sir Rose was right.”

“Heh, the knights are all the same. Lowering.”

“So what is the answer?”

“Ah… Moonlight can decide. Before or after the dinner, when would you like to do it?”

I came without eating because there was a dinner party. Since it’s the princess’s palace, there must be a lot of nutritious food.

“Will there be eggs, chicken breasts, vegetables and fruits for dinner?”

“Of course, Moonlight! We have prepared a corner for managing your diet.”

“Then let’s do it after the dinner party.”

“Your Highness, then, after the banquet, are you proceeding with the moonlight mirror sparring?”

“Yes, I will do as my benefactor wishes.”

Cornelia saw Moonlight putting the device into her inner pocket.

The benefactor who saved her.

Actually, she really wanted to ask him a lot, but Cornelia held back. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen her, so spitting out a lot of questions will come as a burden to him.

Still, since he received the device, he has a means to contact him at any time.

‘I hope I can see you more often.’

Cornelia thought as she watched him go down to the dining room.

“I would like to thank all the quarterfinalists who visited the Palace of Stars. Please enjoy it to your heart’s content, and let’s fellowship with future fellow knights.”

On the podium, Cornelia is giving a speech at the dinner party. The restaurant is a large hall with dozens of round tables. Cornelia is on a platform on one side of the wall.

“Eat freely.”

With Cornelia’s permission, the contestants ate one by one from her plate. The place where I am is the diet management corner. There are high-quality chicken breasts, eggs, and multigrain bread, so I put them on a plate and eat them.

The basis for muscle strength is steady exercise and a good diet.

Performing this routine every single day is the fastest way to become stronger.

‘Eating with a helmet is troublesome.’

Fortunately, there is a space at the mouth of the helmet, so you can take food there.

“Moonlight! Long time no see, how have you been?”

Sias and Selene are by my side.

Sias greets me with a cheerful expression.

I nodded slightly.

“Yes. Have you prepared a lot?”

“Of course. I worked hard to see you.”

Sias grinned. A strong passion can be seen in his expression.

If you look at the level of training of his body, he’s a kid, but considering that he’s an aspiring student, he’s a decent guy.

Seeing that his muscles are somewhat tense, he must have been training.

“How have you been, Miss Selene?”

Sias smiled and looked at Selene.

Selene has her hands behind her back, her face red for some reason. If she came to a dinner party, she would pick up a bowl, but Selene didn’t seem to want to eat.
