Web Version Short Story - Window Trickery “Remove the window lock.” It all started from these words. In my room, the maid Ratifah looked at the pale darkness-colored window, equipped with a lock, and sighed. “Ehm...Your Highness...might I inquire the reason…?” “Isn’t it obvious…? I just...feel like removing it.” I couldn’t come up with a proper reason, so I said the first one which came to mind, with a tone lower than the usual. “That’s!! 100%!! A lie,…-

Chapter 31 - A Story in Motion “....hm.” “You’re finally conscious.” I looked at Feli slowly sitting up and felt my expression relax. It was still around 7 in the morning. I did say “finally”, but only about two hours had passed. “...my deepest apologies.” Those were her first words. Before saying anything else, she apologized. I thought that it was really like her to do that. “You did it for my sake, right? Besides, sparring once in a while isn’t bad at…

Chapter 30 - Insanity and Death “Haha...” The Water Dragon dropped its sword, kneeled on the ground and laughed. Its eyes were pointed at my stomach. “I trust you have not forgotten the condition you yourself placed on this duel?” —If I suffer any kind of wound. The words I said just minutes ago echoed in my mind. “Haha.” I looked at the Water Dragon with absolute confidence and laughed scornfully. I casually threw my “Spada” behind me. The “Spada”…

Chapter 29 - The Swordsman Called Sword Emperor You are sure of this? I could hear the spirit language, Vindes. The dragon asked me for confirmation, speaking directly into my mind. Do not let your guard down. His Highness is incredibly powerful. I can tell that much from your wounds. I thought I heard it sigh. I closed my eyes, hiding my jade pupils. So that’s your master. A brief silence followed. I’m going to borrow your body. Please. My words had no…

Chapter 27 - Feli von Yugstine “You don’t need to escort me anymore from tomorrow onwards. Ask Grerial about your orders.” It was still early morning. The sun had yet to rise: it was an awfully early time for me. However — as expected — Feli was already up and waiting next to my door, so I took the chance to say it. “....what does that mean?” Feli frowned, not understanding the intent of my words. “I never needed an escort in the first place.” I had no…

Chapter 28 - The Spirit Tribe “If you’ll go as far as to say that, then...” Did she finally make up her mind? Feli slowly unsheathed the sword I gave her. “I will use all I have to stop you…!” She spoke forcefully, while looking all around herself. Could she see something? Was there something there? Or maybe she was preparing to do something. Even if it was something to surprise me, there was nothing my “Spada” could not cut. “You’re on…!” I could tell…

Chapter 24 - Rowle Zwelg The veil of night had already completely shrouded the sky. The city streets were faintly illuminated by the street lights, but very few people were out and about. However, through the windows filtered light from inside the people’s homes, showing many shadows inside. “.....hm.” With my “Spada” resting at my waist, I walk the evening streets. As the florist said, flowers did not seem to be popular in this country: I had yet to see a single garden. So to kill time…
