Chapter 12. The Inheritor of the Sleeping Relic

Ruan quietly held me as I sobbed and patted my back for a long while.

When I noticed his clothes had become damp with my tears and snot, I felt embarrassed and hurriedly pulled away from his embrace.

“Are you alright?”

“Th-thanks to you. Thank you, Ruan.”

I lowered my head, trying to hide my burning face.

“Master!”

At the familiar voice, I turned my head to see Leon running toward me with his golden fur flowing.

Leon charged toward me with vigor, then stopped right in front of my feet.

“Master, are you hurt anywhere…?”

Leon circled around me checking on my well-being, then his gaze turned toward Ruan.

“…Who are you?”

“Golden Tiger. You must be Avalon’s Second Prince.”

Ruan looked at Leon in his Golden Tiger form and murmured lowly.

Ah, come to think of it, since Ruan is of imperial blood, he would know Avalon’s prince too.

Though Avalon was a closed-off nation, it wasn’t a vassal state of Valterga.

However, thanks to their diplomatic relations, he seemed acquainted with Prince Leon.

But still… do they not get along?

The atmosphere between the two facing each other seemed somehow ominous.

“What business does the distinguished young master of the Duke’s family have in ‘my’ Avalon?”

“I received a rough report through Aivan, but… Zoe, why are you in Avalon with that guy?”

Ruan lightly dismissed his pretentious modifier and fixed his gaze on me.

“Ah, well… I had some brief business in Avalon…”

Is it just my imagination that he looks angry…?

I looked back and forth between the two who were practically sparking with tension.

“Hey, young master. That’s what I want to say. And stay away from our Master, will you?”

Leon growled lowly at Ruan and bared his teeth.

His golden eyes, openly displaying hostility toward Ruan, narrowed vertically.

Then what about Ruan, who had the modifiers ‘#Perfect Son #Polite Man #Noble Example #Gentle Man’?

He was the same.

Ruan sent an ice-cold gaze and openly displayed contempt toward Leon.

“Master? That’s vulgar language for a prince of a nation to use.”

“What, vulgar? You’re still as annoying as ever. Shouldn’t someone with such a pretty face speak more nicely too?”

“You’re not worth dealing with.”

Ruan coldly declared and instantly drew his sword.

Then he tilted his head toward Leon.

“Draw your sword.”

Leon then deployed sarcasm as if he found it ridiculous.

“Ha! That’s what I hate most about you. The lofty Duke’s young master.”

Pop!

“Ugh! Leon, I told you not to transform just anywhere!”

I threw a robe at Leon who had transformed into human form.

Leon wrapped himself in the robe I threw and hurriedly turned around.

Then he fumbled to take out and put on the clothes hanging around his neck.

Ugh, that bastard. Just stay as a tiger!

How can you put on a nude show every single day!

Ruan clicked his tongue at Leon as if he found it absurd.

“You only choose vulgar actions.”

“Ha, I don’t need to bundle up like you. I’m confident in my body. That’s why Master likes my body too. Right, Master?”

Watching Leon puff out his chest with a confident expression, I clenched my fist tightly.

That perverted tiger bastard. What if Ruan misunderstands because of such nonsense…!

Even while receiving my murderous glare, Leon smiled and threw winks.

“I’ll cut off that loose tongue of yours.”

“I wonder if you can? You’re slower than me.”

Without replying, Ruan aimed his sharp blade tip at Leon’s tongue.

Then Leon picked up the white sword that had fallen on the ground.

“Uh… th-that’s my sword.”

“Really? I’ll borrow it for a moment, Master. It’ll be over quickly anyway.”

“N-no. Wait! That sword is…!”

No, you crazy… that’s not an offensive sword…!

And the white sword and black sword are practically one body!

“In Avalon, do you protect honor with tongues instead of swords?”

“An Avalon person overflowing with natural wildness doesn’t need such a chunk of metal. Really, Valterga people have such refined fighting methods. Shouldn’t men fight rough and tumble?”

“…”

Leon spoke while spinning the sword around as if handling a toy.

Ruan sent a murderous look at his light attitude devoid of any chivalry.

And rightfully so, as Ruan, who leads the Chevalier Order, displayed perfect sword angles in his stance.

Light footwork. Balanced center of gravity. Sharply raised sword tip.

Unwavering eyes that neutralized the opponent’s ability to predict his next move.

It was truly the standard and textbook of swordsmanship.

But unlike him, Leon’s stance was sloppy beyond measure.

His movements were agile and flexible, but honestly, he seemed about equal to me, who didn’t know the first thing about swordsmanship.

Well, since Avalon people can transform into animals, they probably don’t need to learn swordsmanship.

No, that’s not what’s important right now. I want to be sad a bit more…!

Lulu’s final image is still vividly etched in my heart…!

Besides, to go see Lulu, I need to solve the Quest as quickly as possible!

So why did this situation suddenly happen!

I held my throbbing head and watched the fiery confrontation between the two.

Then Leon, who was second to none in verbal sparring, giggled and mocked Ruan.

“Ah, right. Valterga people have weak human bodies, don’t they? Pfft. Well, I don’t feel like it, but since the young master personally came all the way to my Avalon, I’ll specially accommodate your methods~”

“As expected, you talk too much.”

Ruan’s brow furrowed deeply at Leon’s arrogant behavior.

Just as the black sword and white sword aimed at each other and were about to clash.

Ching—!

As soon as the two swords touched, an intense shockwave spread out.

Both men lost their balance and simultaneously dropped their swords due to the repelling force, as if rejecting each other.

Soon after, four bewildered eyes focused on me.

No, I mean.

I told you the black sword and white sword are a set!

I looked pathetically at the two who seemed to be demanding an explanation.

“Sigh… Leon, Ruan. Listen carefully. The black sword and white sword are made from the same magic stone, so you could say they’re a pair of swords. That’s why when they face each other, their powers collide and get repelled like just now!”

“A set? Wait. Master, this is your sword, right? So you’re saying it’s a couple sword with that bastard?”

Is that what’s important in this situation?!

“You just realized that now? How stupid.”

Ruan, why are you making a satisfied expression!

I let out a deep sigh looking at this hopeless Duke’s son and prince.

-Lulu’s Diary-

Something very strange happened.

I just closed my eyes briefly because they were dazzling, but here I am back in this place again!

Ugh, my head feels a little dizzy… but I’m okay!

Because! I finally got to meet Sister Haneul who I wanted to see so much!

“！？! (Lulu! Where did you go? I was so worried!)”

Oh, it’s Sister Meilin!

She must have been really worried about me since I suddenly disappeared.

“Wooong-!”

Sister Meilin smiled and hugged me tightly.

She gently petted my head like Sister Haneul does, and she always prepares plenty of carrots and bamboo shoots that I love!

That’s why I really like Sister Meilin.

“! . (Let’s go in quickly! I’ll give you the bamboo shoots you like.)”

Yay! She’s going to give me delicious bamboo shoots today too!

Actually, you know… this is a secret…

But Sister Haneul is always first in my heart. Hehehe!

Sometimes when I think of Sister Haneul, my heart gets a little sad.

But whenever that happens, I cheer myself up by running around, eating delicious food, and remembering the fun times I had with her.

I made that promise to myself today too.

Someday I’ll meet Sister Haneul again and brag about how well I’ve been doing here!

When that day comes, I should bring lots of bamboo shoots that Sister Haneul likes too.

So I hope Sister Haneul won’t forget about me either.
