Interlude - Royal Martial Tournament Part 6 - The Clan of the Sword Saint The House of Marquis Saverne, which inherited the title of “Sword Saint” since the foundation of the Kingdom of Lamperouge, firmly believed themselves to be the most powerful clan in the kingdom. The sworn enemy of this family was House Rosais and its faction, which held overwhelming political power in the royal palace.

Interlude - Royal Martial Tournament Part 7 - Maiden of the Sun, Maiden of the Moon Two days later… A horse carriage marked with the emblem of a black lion passed the gate into the capital. The carriage, escorted by knights, emanated an intimidating aura that kept all passersby at a distance. Inside the carriage, however, the giddy voice of a young girl could be heard. “Oooh! So this is the capital! It’s so full of life, just as expected!” “Yes…Lady Sister.” There were two young girls sitting…

Chapter 64 - End of an Adventure, and the Omen of Misfortune We spent three days sailing to the Garnet Kingdom mainly on the bed. The crew apparently caught the hint: they never even got close to my cabin, so I could enjoy my remaining time with Sue to the fullest. Eventually…we arrived at Garnet, and it was time to say our farewells. We communicated our feelings to each other plenty in the last three days, so the farewell itself was rather short and simple. Sue descended on land, and said goodbye…

Chapter 58 - The Evil Gods’ Curse ”I was born one thousand years ago here in Atlantis, where the people who fled from the evil gods lived in hiding. I was raised without learning anything of the outside world: for me, this seafloor city was everything.” I was deep in thought, going over all I was learning, but Drake continued talking. “We lived in peace, all things considered, until the day the evil gods found Atlantis.” “......” “The power of the evil gods’ curses took the lives of…

Chapter 59 - Hero against Hero Our swords collided, sending sparks flying all around. Drake might have been wounded, but he was still a hero who had saved the world. I had no intention of holding anything back from the beginning of the fight. I had put all my strength in that first strike, but Drake managed to parry it. “HAAAAAAAAHHH!!” “SSHAAAAAAAHH!!” With shouts that sounded more like roars, I swung my sword two, three times in succession. The clashing metal shook my eardrums violently. I…

Chapter 60 - Shape of Indra “So there’s more to this bracelet?” It was very surprising, almost hard to believe. Herakles granted the wearer superhuman physical abilities and regenerative powers. I never even thought there could be more. “I don’t blame you for not knowing, though. You never tried to unleash the full power of that bracelet, have you?” Drake grinned and pointed at me. “That bracelet borrows the wearer’s lifeforce and gives miraculous powers. And you’re scared shitless…

Chapter 61 - The End of the Seafloor City The golden slash engulfed Drake, then crashed through the wall of the cathedral, causing a wide path of destruction on its way out. It looked like a massive snake had slithered its way out: the stream of destruction also continued outside, breaking through all buildings on its path. “Ghah…haah…haah…” Breathing heavily, I stuck my sword on the ground, to prop my body up. A wave of fatigue washed over me: I barely managed to stay standing without…

Interlude - Royal Martial Tournament Part 1 - An Eloquent Blade Two years before the current events, in the Lamperouge royal capital… The massive circular arena was overflowing with people. The waves of spectators were all focused on the center of the field, where the battle would soon start. Hundreds, thousands of eyes were all concentrated on a single spot. It was a rather bizarre sight, especially considering that the upcoming battle was simply a one-on-one duel. All the excitement and…
