Interlude

“Sorry for taking up your time.”

“It’s fine. I don’t mind at all. I still don’t know the city.”

Two eye-catching beauties walked down the streets of Liberis’s greatest city—Baltrain. One was the Liberion Order’s commander, Allusia Sitrus. Despite her youth, she occupied the highest rank among the nation’s esteemed knights. None looked at her with scorn. She possessed a charm that could be described as a peerless combination of dignity and tranquility, which was only matched by her good nature and incredible skill with a blade. She was immensely popular among the populace. Many even looked at her with envy.

The other beauty was the Holy Order of the Church of Sphene’s lieutenant commander, Rose Mabelhart. She was a calming woman whose graceful manners took the fore. The pure-white kite shield on her back drew people’s eyes, but her nearly transparent blue hair combined with her gentle and affable countenance stood out even more.

It was a few days before the royal sightseeing tour of Baltrain for Sphenedyardvania’s first prince. Rose was the lieutenant commander of the Holy Order, and there were anxieties about her not having a sufficient grasp of Baltrain’s geography. So, at Allusia’s recommendation, the two women were taking a walk through town.

Rose maintained an affable demeanor. After all, it wasn’t polite to show discontent when the Liberion Order’s commander had offered to show her around.

“It really is a nice city,” Rose commented. “I’m jealous.”

“Thank you. I’m glad to hear it.”

Despite being the one to invite Rose, Allusia’s mental state was somewhat complex. Naturally, she had no objections to forming a rapport with the Holy Order’s lieutenant commander. Considering the future benefits for diplomatic relations, it was a good thing. However, the words “Beryl’s favorite pupil” were stuck in her mind far more prominently than any other thought. She did, of course, know that Beryl had taught many pupils. She also wasn’t conceited enough to claim to be his best one—she did have confidence that it would be faster to count her rank from the top down, though. At the same time, she couldn’t possibly declare herself as Beryl’s favorite pupil.

Faced with a woman who could make that declaration so boldly, Allusia harbored an interest in both positive and negative ways.

“So, ummm...Lady Mabelhart.” Allusia wasn’t sure how to refer to her, so she went with the formal option.

“Yes?”

“I hear you studied under Master Beryl.”

“That’s right. It wasn’t for all that long, though.” Rose put a finger to her chin as she reminisced. “At the time, I was traveling through many nations and their towns. I just so happened across...Beaden, was it? When I saw him, I thought, ‘Wow, his swordplay is amazing,’ and was charmed by it immediately.”

“I see...” Allusia couldn’t deny also being charmed by Beryl’s swordplay. Anyone who aspired to master the blade would acknowledge his skill. “When was this?” she asked.

“Hmmm... About five or six years ago, I think? By the time I met him, he already had that white hair.”

In that case, Rose was technically Allusia’s junior pupil.
