In This Life, I Will Raise You Well, Your Majesty!

Chaeeeng! Chaeng!

Elisha did not dodge the sword that was slashing at her.

 

However, she didn’t strike back.
The moment the blade touched, she let the sword skid so the power flowed away.

 

This move is not advanced, but it’s not easy to do either.

 

Her current body had not been trained at all.
No, it was broken and in a state like glass with a lot of flaws inside, so she had to be more careful.

 

She was forced to act out of necessity given the circumstances, but she had no intention of letting her children see her own blood.

 

If that happens, the children will most likely cry.

 

‘So I guess I’ll have to finish it now…’

 

Elisha swallowed her dry saliva at the tingling of her wrist.

 

‘It’s hard to endure three or four more times of this.’

 

When Dominique’s sword’s movement changed…!

 

‘That’s it!’

 

Elisha’s sky-blue eyes sparkled as if they had been sprinkled with silver dust.

 

For this moment, Elisha had been inciting Dominique.

 

It didn’t end when Dominique climbed up the training ground, but the result Elisha wanted would be achieved only when he used that move here.

 

Elisha did not take her eyes off the fancy sword pouring towards me.

 

It was a trajectory that was all too familiar to Elisha.

 

In the past, Elisha’s greatest enemy was the Emperor.

 

If Emperor Kaiden was holding the Imperial Palace Tower in his left hand, the one in his right hand was the Imperial Knights Order.

 

It means that one of the opponents that Elisha fought very fiercely and a lot was the knights of the Imperial Palace Knights.

 

There were not many people who had a Mana Road, a swordsmanship technique which allowed one to manage mana independently due to the superior ability of the family or the person themselves, however, Dominique belongs to the 2nd Knights.

 

Perhaps he had learned his best at the Imperial Palace.

 

What would a person gifted enough to belong to the Imperial Knights Order do with such a good thing in this situation?

 

He would’ve tried his best.

 

He must be so proud of himself!

 

Swaeeeng!

 

Dominique’s sword split the wind.

 

Elisha did not avoid it.

 

Because that’s just a sham, the real thing will pop out later.

 

‘Right, like this.’

 

Kaaang!

 

The sword, which was rushing straight in, was twisted once again before drawn diagonally towards Elisha.

 

Elisha stopped it.

 

‘First.’

 

When the attack was blocked, Dominique circled around in a large circle, and then lowered his sword again.

 

Swaeng!

Once more.

 

‘Second.’

 

Dominique decided not to give her any more shelter when the attack was blocked this time, so he took a straight step forward and pushed his sword forward.

 

There was a clear crackling sound.

 

For a moment, it sounded like a bell to Dominique’s ears.

 

The sense of reality became dull and everything became so slow that it felt like a dream.

 

Nevertheless, Elisha’s sword steadily passed Dominique’s sword and stopped in front of his throat.

 

Dominique only lowered his eyes to confirm it.

 

Her sword stopped with only one finger’s distance left.

 

Elisha had no intention of escaping this time either.

 

Instead, she came to him.

 

She stretched out her sword and approached him with its sharp, sharp edge.

 

“Hmm!”

 

Dominique swallowed the wind in surprise.

 

He withdrew his body back and tried to get away from the sword, but to no avail.

 

Elisha’s swordsmanship was like a small whirlpool that only rose higher whenever it collided.
As such, Elisha was now right in front of Dominique.

 

There was silence around the stadium.

 

No, it had been silent since before.
It just got worse now.

 

A suffocating silence descended.

 

The knights, of course, raised their hands and clapped it together!

 

Dominique had a gut feeling that once this atmosphere was broken, it would be confirmed as a result of the duel.

 

Slowly blinking, Dominique gathered mana into his arm, which was loose in the air, still holding his sword.

 

And he rose it high and then slashed it hard at Elisha’s sword which was pointed towards him!

 

“Tsk.”

 

Elisha lightly clicked her tongue.

 

It was already too late by the time she thought something big was going to happen.

 

The distance between the two of them was so close that it seemed like she would get hurt worse if she tried to run away.

 

Elisha bit her lip and held the sword in one hand with the other hand and lifted it up over her head!

 

The two swords collided!

 

Chaeng-kang!

 

As soon as Elisha’s sword was broken, Dominique’s sword, which couldn’t release all its strength, was about to be lowered towards Elisha!

 

Pyung!

 

The energy that flew in from behind hit Dominique hard and exploded.

 

Dominique’s body flew away.

 

At the same time, someone held Elisha in their arms so as not to get hurt by the shock, and turned her around.

Elisha stared intently at the other person’s hair that was hanging over her face in the wind.

 

Elisha reached out and grabbed a handful of hair that covered her face.

 

It was soft.

 

Elisha’s gaze turned from the hair to the owner of the hair.

 

“Why are you…”

 

Elisha licked her lips and stopped.

 

The person before her was not someone she could casually ask questions.

 

One of Elisha’s enemies, the Emperor’s first sword.

 

The knight among knights.

 

He was a strong man worthy of his name with a noble heart.

 

In the Battle of Tadania, which divided the fate of the Atien Empire, he was killed by Elisha, who was called the Silver Flame Witch.

 

That was the thing in the past.

 

“Rohan.”

 

A strange light gleamed in the other person’s auburn eyes as the alien feeling of being addressed by her passed through.

 

They both stood still.

 

Thud!

 

Dominique’s body fell to the floor.

 

The sound broke the atmosphere, and so, Rohan released his arms that were wrapped around Elisha’s waist.

 

Naturally, the hair that had been held in Elisha’s hand slipped out.

 

“My apologies.”

 

Rohan bowed his head, and Elisha bowed her head slightly in reply, thanking him for saving her, and then turned her face away.

 

“Mother!”

 

The surprised Leon, Asensio, and Jillian run to her and hug her.

 

Elisha comforted the children, but then her body stiffened.

 

The Crown Prince also looked over to the entrance of the training ground and spoke in a bewildered tone.

 

“Why are the Marquis and His Majesty…”

 

Although it is true that Elisha should not be able to feel anything without mana, she has been able to read a little bit of the flow of mana after returning.

 

She was not sure of the reason, but she thought she might be able to figure things out later.

 

Using inaccurate information must result in several times the loss.

 

When Elisha came to the Crown Prince’s Palace earlier, she heard that Marquis Blemir had entered the place and thought he would come soon.

 

However, while listening to Dominique and the other knights, she felt a very strong energy approaching this way.

 

There was a sense of something strangely offensive, but it was not something that could be confirmed right away, so she skipped it.

 

Before the duel started, she reassured Asensio, who kept trying to stop her.

 

Marquis Blemir will be here soon, so he should avoid being involved in this kind of problem.

 

Even if they are not on good terms externally, not helping the Atien Imperial family is dangerous.
It is an act of disregarding the nobility’s obligation.

But then.

 

Someone literally stepped up.

 

Not Marquis Blemir, but Rohan Scherzer, the commander of the 1st Knights.

 

And one more person.

 

“I’ve seen Your Majesty.”

 

Elisha, who had her back on the entrance, turned her body, grabbed the hem of her skirt, and gently bent her waist.

 

She didn’t raise her head.

 

She found the current situation very funny.

 

In front of her was the only man she had ever loved.

 

While behind her was someone who had the answers she wished to hear. 

 

It was like that back then, and it will always be.

 

Nothing changes.

 

Then the Emperor said to her.

 

“It’s been a while.”

 

With a voice younger and clearer than she remembered.

 

Elisha lifted her hand from the hem of her skirt she was holding and lifted her head.

 

In front of her stood a beautiful man with blue eyes and black hair.

 

Nineteen.

 

He looked exactly like when she first saw him and fell in love with him.

 

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

 

Elisha answered.

 

The two’s eyes meet.

 

But of course, Elisha didn’t care too much.

 

***

 

The reason the Emperor decided to go to the Imperial Palace was because he had an interest as small as a fingernail.

 

Then, seeing what was happening in the Imperial Palace’s training ground, a similar sized interest was added to it.

 

Yes, the size of two fingernails was nothing of particular concern to the Emperor.

 

Instead…

 

Instead, it was worth observing the reaction of Marquis Blemir next to him.

 

And that’s why the Emperor stopped Marquis Blemir, whose face had stiffened, from trying to intervene.

 

“Let’s wait for a while.

 

The 2nd Empress is not the kind of person who would go out with such a thing without reason.”

 

Marquis Blemir must have only pretended not to know what was going on in the Crown Prince’s Palace, so the Emperor stopped him.

 

However, when Marquis Blemir truly just stopped, Kaiden couldn’t help but think of a stupid girl with silver hair and sky-blue eyes.

 

Just by looking at the fact that William of the Western Tower had brought and showed her off to the Imperial Palace, she seemed to have a very good head.

All the choices she made after that were like beggars, so Kaiden had already erased all his memories of that girl.

 

It suddenly occurred to him that there was something that Kaiden himself did not know.

 

Marquis Blemir was not a bad character, but he was quite feisty and very picky.

 

He made neither friends nor enemies easily.

 

No, it may be more difficult for Marquis Blemir to have enemies than friends.

 

A friend can match with you no matter what you have, but an enemy cannot exist at all unless the level is acceptable.

 

Marquis Blemir’s reaction was quite intense, but for the same reason it made sense.

 

Then, when the 2nd Empress tried to counterattack by breaking the sword technique of the Imperial Palace Knights.

 

Not only Blemir, but even Rohan, who was one step behind, let out a small sigh as if admiring it.

 

And then.

 

The knight of the 2nd Knights, moved his mana.

 

His sword was raised high, rushing towards the 2nd Empress.

 

“That crazy…!”

 

Vitality burst out from Marquis Blemir.

 

It seemed urgent enough to forget that it was a matter of getting caught in the presence of the Emperor.

 

But by the time he started running, it was already too late.

 

Taaang!

 

One step ahead of him, Rohan unknowingly flung the trash on the ground and rescued the 2nd Empress.

 

The skirt of the 2nd Empress, which rotated once, spread like a flower in full bloom before closing like a shy bud.

 

Their appearance was a bit strange.

 

From this side, Rohan’s back was hidden from view, but they stood still for a moment.

 

Before one could think about what was going on, the children cut in between them.

 

Kaiden noticed there was no movement next to him.

 

When he turned his head, Marquis Blemir stood stiffly, biting his lip.

 

Kaiden, who was squinting one eye, tilted his head slightly to the side and stared at him before taking the first step alone.

 

Kaiden entered the entrance to the training ground, looked at Elisha, who was bowing her head among those who were surprised.

 

‘What has changed?’

 

‘Everything still looks the same.’

 

But after a while, when Elisha raised her face and turned to him…!

 

The Emperor realized.

 

‘Aah!’

 

Those blue eyes.

 

From those sky-blue eyes, the wretched love towards him was completely erased.

 

‘It’s definitely different.’

 

Kaiden pulled the corners of his lips slightly and smiled.

 

‘This seems kind of fun.’
