The Rise of the Sword Expert
Boyfriend's joke

In front of me was available Earl Grey tea which was very well prepared. And scones, biscuits, and sweet cakes.

Marquis Gallhant's men's service prepared all well. Everything is well laid out.

We sat in a circle at the round table, for a moment I remembered about the round table knight. When I drank the tea, I smiled faintly. But Marquis Gallhant who had sharp eyes caught me.

"What are you smiling at, Akion?" ask him without a stale base.

"Just a memory of the past, Marquis Gallhant."

He didn't give up, kept asking me questions again. "What kind of love? Is that something funny?"

I smiled at him, and I put the glass I was holding on his plate. I looked back at Marquis Gallhant who was sitting quietly.

"Maybe. It's a little funny knowing we're sitting together."

Altair looked at me unexpectedly, the tea she was about to drink stopped right on her lips. Obviously I told them they didn't

want to sit with me. My attitude is now disrespectful towards the noble elders. Yes, those who have long been and served as the head of the family.

Compared to everything with a tense face, Marquis Gallhant smiled at me. It was not a friendly smile, but a challenge to me as far as I could go. I was acting normal, my eyes were not trembling.

"You're so outspoken, Akion."

"Did your confidence rise after doing a very good Mana stone business with Marquis Kingston?"

Calm face. He has been through a lot of warfare, arguing and suppressing is common in the military.

"Without any stone I think I'm brave enough to say." I smiled kindly.

"You're so brave, Akion." He looked at me sharply as if he wanted to drag me into the black sea.

"You know very well that talking about something like this is useless for knights, right?"

I mean, he better use his job to me, or challenge me. Throwing her gloves at me would be a fierce fight between us.

"Well, I'm not going any further than this." He closed his mouth and acted calm. "You're obviously a brave man. At a young age, it was amazing."

Confusing.

"I don't want your Mana stone. The strength of the body is the most important in my opinion."

After I remembered it it was clear that his family who were war heroes liked to train their physiques compared to others. I like fighting in the front guard. Others say they are war mad.

"Ehm! Don't fight on this peaceful day." Earl Woodsy was staring at us both drinking his tea.

"Look at the kid next to you scared" he continued. I saw Altair frozen between us.

Altair looked at me, then let out a gentle breath from her nose, "No. I'm not scared at all, Earl Woodsy."

Forced smile.

Earl Woodsy is the owner of the Empire's largest newspaper, he's the one who wrote the news about my family. With his newspaper he can influence the minds of others. Do you know the word that says who controls the news, he's the winner?

Earl Woodsy had always written the news as to what had happened, but he had never written bad news about the Emperor's family. Many rumors say that he was controlled by the Emperor's family, partly because he feared that his entire family would be lost by the Emperor.

Earl Woodsy, his military power is lacking. He was easily suppressed, and trembled. Looking at him now, he was a labile figure who was still trying to make himself able to still win under any conditions.

"I hope one day you'll play in my territory and practice a fight together." He stretched out his hand, I greeted him and we shook hands warmly.

"I'll tell you something, Akion." she looked at me convincingly, "We're both not here as

representative for the meeting. We're both old, Akion,"

Earl Woodsy who was next to him also smiled, after which, he left us. After that meeting, I only found out that the two of them had just arrived at the capital last night. He said honesty, he didn't want my Mana stone, he was just curious about my figure.

Who can defeat his greatness in sword with a very young age. After finding out I was a brave person, he liked it. Because a trained person, has a strong physique, always has a brave soul and creepy eyes. That's according.

About Earl Woodsy, I don't really understand it. Maybe after this he'll make the news that Marquis Gallhant and I had an argument while drinking the tea.
