The Regressed Son of a Duke is an Assassin Chapter 6

Episode 6. The duke’s incompetent child (5)

Ellis Berthe, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Berthe.

She took up the sword at a very early age, following the orders of her father, the Duke.

To follow in the duke’s footsteps and be given the role of a sentinel to protect the peace of the continent.

Although her life goals were imposed on her from the moment she was born, Ellis did not complain.

She is the second and eldest daughter of the Bert family.

As the eldest daughter, I thought it was natural to carry on the family’s legacy.

Eshel and herself were enough to handle the difficult and difficult tasks, and no more was needed.

As long as the younger brothers could escape the constraints of the family and enjoy a free life, that would be enough to satisfy them.

That feeling has not changed even now that I am graduating from the academy.

But what is this?

The youngest, whom I met a year later, stepped forward to continue the Dajjagojja family.

What on earth did this little boy with no blood on his head think?

Ellis thought.

It seems like a child who had no interest in martial arts, let alone swords, still doesn’t know much about the world.

Although my heart was wonderful, this was something I really didn’t want to do.

Entrusting such an arduous and difficult task to this delicate little sister, what sister in this world could tolerate that?

Honestly, she also knows that the situation is not right.

If anyone heard of me sparring in swordsmanship with my younger brother, who was seven years older than me, I would be criticized and asked what I was doing as my older sister.

However, studying about the world is always necessary.

Ellis wanted to make Sian feel the family wall.

If you feel completely helpless due to the overwhelming difference in skill, it will cause a big change in your mind.

Even though I felt a little sorry, I thought that if I could somehow comfort him after that, I would be able to move on.

That is, until the first blow was blocked in vain.

“… … !”

I had no intention of taking it long.

The intention was to immediately decide the match by targeting the neck from the start.

A thrust that struck naturally as if crossing the current.

Although it is a very basic and simple movement, it is a technique that can lead to a wide variety of situations depending on the swordsman who is casting it.

Moreover, after mastering this movement, Ellis was so proud of its perfection that she had never missed a single move.

But it got blocked.

And that too in vain.

She was momentarily dazed by the unexpected situation.

Has this child blocked his sword just now?

And exactly at the target point without any error?

Even Xian’s sword was a rapier whose blade was not wide.

Judging from his actions, he figured out where he was aiming and then took a defensive stance.

Xian was also embarrassed.

Looking at his expression, it seemed like he sensed a momentary threat and instinctively blocked it.

Ellis first stepped back and widened the distance.

“Birds, you have better senses than I thought, huh?”

Xian didn’t answer, just made a face like he didn’t know what to do.

It was definitely outstanding agility.

Well, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to overwhelmingly defeat Kranz.

Ellis soon came to his senses and began his next attack.

-fault

Her next target is not Xian’s head, but the sword.

I thought that if he was pushed using his momentum and weight class, Xian, who still lacks experience, would not be able to withstand and would lose the sword.

This was applicable to everyone who was inexperienced in swordsmanship, including my past self.

-visor! visor! visor! visor!

Her sword swung in exactly four directions: up, down, left and right.

The sword dance of the rose-colored sword was decorating the cold night sky.

“… … .”

At this, a bead of sweat flowed from Xian’s face.

But regardless of that, his sword was in perfect contact with Ellis’ sword.

“… … ?”

It was accepted.

A strike filled with sincerity was blocked in vain like this.

It seemed like he had used all his might as he was out of breath, to say it was in vain, but the important thing was that Xian blocked it.

Let alone losing the sword, not even a finger has fallen.

Strictly speaking, 10-year-old Sian’s strength could not match that of 17-year-old Ellis.

If even one sword strike went right, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand it and would have let go of the sword, but he endured this?

To be precise, it was not endured, but shed.

Ellis felt that his strength was mixed from a total of four sword strikes.

What this means is that at the moment when their blades touched each other, all of the incoming force was shed by Xian.

‘What is this kid?’

Ellis couldn’t help but feel truly embarrassed.

Whether it was coincidence or talent, he blocked two sincere blows.

To think that his sword, which was called the child of God, was blocked by a 10-year-old kid… … .

A part of her heart was squirming.

Beyond surprise, it was now a matter of pride.

The prosecutor’s longing that had been dormant was rising, and at the same time, the desire to subdue him was also appearing.

Ellis bit the sword in silence and widened the distance again.

At the same time, a blue aura was sparkling from her sword.

* * *

How long has it been since you were this out of breath in a one-on-one fight?

It has been almost 10 years since the first encounter with the continent’s greatest sword, ‘Resimus’.

I don’t know how my sister will see it, but I am now controlling my strength in a very profound and meticulous way.

In the 4 consecutive attacks along with the first thrust, I’m not going to lie, there were more than 10 opportunities to counterattack.

Point a sword at your neck?

If I had been aiming for it, I would have been aiming for it a long time ago.

Even now, if you put your mind to it, you can strike and aim your sword in one go.

Since I can’t bear to do that, I’m really suppressing all my true nature and holding back.

I think I can somehow last 3 minutes if I just focus on letting it out… … ,

What does that sister want to do now?

-Shooooong

A blue aura sparkled from her sword.

It is the manifestation of mana.

The moment I saw that light, I thought.

Are you trying to kill me?

This is not about continuing the family, but cutting off the family in the bud.

“Is this an ordeal too, sister?”

I tried to talk to her carefully, but she didn’t respond.

It was a state of high concentration to transfer the mana concentrated in the body to the sword.

No, is it really necessary to do something like that?

From what I remember, my sister’s current magic level is at least 6 stars.

Compared to academy peers of the same age, levels 1 and 2 are much higher.

I can’t believe that the elite of the elite would spend mana on a child who is only 10 years old.

He may not know it, but his pride seems to have been very hurt that his attack was blocked.

As time passed, her blade became increasingly colored with the fascinating color of the sea.

Anyway, now that it’s like this, there’s only one way I can do it.

For the first time since the sparring began, the sword was thrown backwards instead of forwards.

Then, he quietly placed the other hand that was not holding the sword on the blade.

-Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesss

A brief light came from the sword, and then it disappeared as if nothing had happened.

I also passed down magic to the sword.

The moment the succession was confirmed, I ran away without any hesitation.

Her sword is already ready.

If I just swing like that, my body will fly 100 paces away.

Of course, that won’t happen.

Assuming that the two situations I assumed occur completely.

– Wedge!

My sister’s sword finally cut diagonally, and at the same time, blue sword energy leaked out.

I also slightly twisted my sword accordingly and met her sword.

“That’s it!”

At that moment, a silver long sword appeared in the air along with a familiar male voice.

The sword blocked the space between me and my sister, and instantly absorbed her sword energy.

Pure white armor decorated with gold stripes.

This was not an armament suitable for mansion guards.

“You’ve crossed the line, lady. “No matter how much you are Ellis, I won’t allow you to go any further than this.”

“You are, uh, Yu, Yulken, right… … ?”

The person who stopped his sister was none other than Yulken.

She also seemed quite embarrassed that the senior knight had stopped her.

“Anyway, you’re using mana against a ten-year-old master? “If I had made a mistake, I could have been in big trouble!”

My sister looked at the sword and my face alternately for a while.

Soon her cheeks turned red.

He realized what he had done.

“Hey, what’s really going on? I’m so sorry, Sian! “I must have lost my mind for a moment!”

Before I knew it, my sister had thrown away the sword, hugged me, and apologized profusely.

Fortunately, Yulken stepped in to sort out the situation, otherwise it would have been quite a complicated situation.

I hastily extinguished all the mana that had been transferred to the sword.

My sister and Yulken didn’t notice at all.

What I cast was <Illusion>, one of the 7-star spells.

It was a mental magic that created an illusion in a specific object and showed false illusions to all living things that came into contact with it.

If my sister’s sword had come into contact with mine, she would have been seriously confused as she would not be able to distinguish my location.

There was probably a dance taking place somewhere far away, and I naturally planned to watch it happen and wait for time to pass.

My older sister, who was hugging me, looked at Yulken again and asked.

“But weren’t you your father’s guardian knight? “Why are you here?”

“For the time being, I was carrying out the Duke’s orders to protect Master Xian. Because it was done in secret, I couldn’t even tell you. sorry.”

“I’m okay, Yulken.”

I knew that Yulken was there right after my father left for the front.

It would be strange if you didn’t notice this upright and arrogant demeanor.

To be honest, I was waiting for him to come forward.

Since his opponent was none other than Elise’s older sister, he seemed to continue to hesitate.

“I’ll end the sparring here for now. “Could you please leave for a moment?”

My older sister continued to use polite language and spoke to Yulken as if she was asking him a favor.

Yulken briefly bowed his head and immediately disappeared from the spot.

“Whoa… … .”

My sister let out a deep breath, as if mixed with many complex emotions.

“Who did you learn swordsmanship from?”

“Not at all. “Is there anyone in this house who can teach me swordsmanship?”

“Well, it’s not like I don’t know your situation… … .”

My older sister was the second child of the family, but she was the child of a concubine.

In the past, when my father was at the front, there was a female knight he loved, and the daughter born from his love affair with her was none other than Elise.

In other words, she is also an illegitimate child like me.

That’s why he cared for me especially.

Although she had a social disadvantage, she made up for it with her talent, and no one in Lady Margaret’s family messed with her.

“But you have more sense than I thought? “Do you think I would have even tried to use magic?”

“If it weren’t for Yulken, I might be on a stretcher right now.”

My sister smiled awkwardly and scratched her face.

“You really didn’t show a good side as a sister. I can’t cheer him on, but I’m trying to block his younger brother’s path… … .”

“I wish you knew now.”

My sister immediately clenched her fists. Soon, she lowered her hand and asked again in a calm voice.

“Are you really serious about carrying on the family legacy?”

I answered by nodding my head.

“Yes, you are probably saying that because you all have thoughts. But it won’t be easy. “Everything depends entirely on you.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

I said with a smile.

All the future that unfolds for me will be determined by the cause and effect I have designed.

My sister’s safety will also be included in the future being designed.

His older sister from his previous life died in a battle with demonic beasts three years later.

It was a completely meaningless death for her, who was a child of God and was also promising as the next head of the Bert family, but I know the secret of that death.

My older sister died not from a demonic beast, but from the hand of a fellow human being.

And that too from someone very close… … .

What a person who returns to the past can change is not just his or her future.

No matter what happens over the next three years, I will definitely prevent my sister’s death.

“… … .”

My sister was endlessly stroking my head and smiling brightly.
