Break the Limit
Rehearses

Early in the morning Cedric takes Livy to the back of the palace, intending to teach Livy how to use the sword.

Livy tied her hair neatly and prepared to use her sword.

"Pair the horse, and prepare your hand, swing as I have exemplified"

Livy practiced the Cedric movement.

"Do that up to 50x the swing"

"Of 30 only. This is also still the beginning"

"Alright. 30x swing"

Cedric sat under a tree looking at every movement of Livy which was still very stiff.

Allard approached Cedric and sat next to him.

"Oh look at my cute woman, she looks like a stiff wooden doll" Allard said as he looked at Livy's movements.

"It's still the beginning.I'll teach her until I can"

"Yes, just don't fall in love"

Cedric smiled lightly "Are you scared?"

Allard smiled "Not at all"

Livy was done with his training, his hands cramped and swollen.

Livy sat in Allard's room seat, compressing her arm with warm water.

"If you can't, you don't have to practice anymore.I can protect you" Allard said, massaging Livy's back.

"No.. I want to learn the sword, at least I'll be useful later..."

"Do you want to walk into the woods?"

Livy shook her head "No, I'm going to rest, I'm going to practice with Cedric tonight"

"Not tomorrow morning? you don't have to force yourself"

"Calm down, Cedric trained me well anyway".

Allard fell silent, there was a dislike in his heart when Livy said Cedric's name, but he chose to be quiet and obey Livy's will.

That night Livy knocked on Cedric's room.

Geck... Geck... Geck...

Klekk.

Cedric looked at Livy with a matted face waking up.

"Oh.. Am I bothering you?"

"Come in and sit in that chair quietly"

Livy nodded, Cedric's room full of weapons that look sickening, especially the enormous golden axe with the engraving of demon wings on the handle.

Cedric put on his new shirt and approached Livy.

Cedric stroked Livy's hair.

"Hmm. It looks like you're flirty too huh. look at my body when I change clothes"

Livy's cheeks flushed instantly "A... what..?? si.. who's flirtatious.I'm just curious about the scar on your chest.that's all"

Cedric just smiled.

They walked through the stone passage and opened the iron door leading to the back of the palace.

Livy held her sword using both hands, her legs preparing as Cedric exemplified.

"Think like this morning until 40x, tomorrow morning 50x. After 50x I will teach you another technique"

"If I finish it now, tomorrow morning we can practice another technique"

"No. Don't push yourself, if you're sick your prince will scold me"

Livy could only obey, he swung his sword and tried not to stiffen.

Swing to 30 Livy felt his arm couldn't stand it anymore.

"Can you rest a little?" pinta Livy with a face.

"Just 10 swings away"

"My arms aren't strong anymore, it's exhausting"

"OK it here"

Livy sat next to Cedric while massaging his arm.

Cedric held onto Livy's sword which felt light to him.

"Maybe the sword doesn't suit you, how about another weapon?"

"What weapon?"

"Let's go tomorrow I'll take you to where I bought the sword"

Livy was silent for a moment while looking at Cedric's face which looked soft as usual.

"Emmm... If other demons knew I was a fairy and they would kill me how?"

"Do you think they are brave ? am I not a prince, too?"

Livy smiled "Yes .. You're right"

Cedric smiled as he randomized Livy's hair.

"OK go back inside. I still have some business to do.

Livy nodded "thank you Cedric"

In an upstairs window, Allard looked at the increasingly familiar Livy and Cedric, his hands clenched to see Cedric touching and stroking Livy's hair.
