âI may not be able to do as well as Prince Arnold, but I want to be strong too.â
Fritz stood up and picked up a broom that had been placed in the corner of the water fountain. He held it like a sword and stood at the ready.
âYah!â
ââ¦â
A snapping sound cut through the sky.
Rishe, who was wrapped in a mysterious upset, looked up when she heard it.
âFritz, youâd better put more force to your pinky finger.â
âHuh? Pinky?â
Fritz turned around, keeping his broomstick pointed down.
âWhen you grip the sword, put the most force around your pinky finger. If youâre right-handed, put more pressure on your left hand. Your right hand should be about half of that.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIs half alright?â
âYou have to do that much to get both hands to work equally. Donât put too much pressure on your wrists⦠Yeah, swing it as is.â
âYou mean like this? âHa!â
The sound of the broom swinging down sounded sharper than before.
Its trajectory, which had been off at an angle earlier, was now properly straight. With this, it would save a lot of the power from being dispersed.
âWow!â
Fritz himself noticed the change in his demeanor.
âLucius, how did you know this!â
âI just have a bit of sword experience, thatâs all. More importantly, youâre awesome! You swallow fast.â
âNo, no, no, youâre the amazing one!â
With a twinkle in his eye, Fritz looked at the broom he was clutching.
âBut it makes such a difference just to be taught by others! This will make me like Prince Arnold one day.â
âYou there.â
At the call, Rishe and Fritz swung around.
There was a man standing there.
âHe who wishes to become a knight mustnât call the royal family that. He should be called His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.â
âYes, sir! Iâm sorry!â
As Fritz bowed, Rishe also stood up and bowed.
âAll right, you just need to remember. Both of you, look up.â
Pardoned, Rishe and Fritz raised their heads.
The man was probably in his mid-thirties.
His slightly long gray hair was neatly trimmed with hairdressing products. He was cleanly dressed, but had a few shades under his eyes.
Although he was scolding Fritz, the air he exuded was calm.
He definitely was a high-ranking aristocrat from the way he behaved. It was apparent how tall and well-muscled he was even through his clothes.
âItâs wonderful to show respect to the royal family in whatever form they take.â
âHai, thank you!⦠Uh, that aside, please pardon me!â
Fritz spoke fearfully.
âBy any chance, are you Count Rovine? Our townâs lordâ¦â
âYouâre right, Iâm the head of the House Rovine.â
âWow, I knew it!â
Rovine?
Risheâs eyes widened at the exchange between the man and Fritz.
No way, Count Rudger Larus Rovine! This is the guy thatâ¦
Rishe looked up at the man standing in front of her. Then, she cleared her throat with a persistent smile.
â His Royal Highness Arnold slayed as the âGreat Sinner,â the great warlord of the Garkhain Kingdom.
