Chapter 43 Lost.
Silvia Frost froze, her breath stuck as the battle ended in an instant. For the first time, Silvia realized that there were still mountains on top of the mountains. It truly broadens her vision.
She stared at his clear emerald eyes that sucked her in, and her heart pounded, sending a blood rush to her cold veins. Silvia opened her mouth as she tried to speak, but words got stuck in her throat.
"Ah, um...".
"Ah, I’m sorry about this!".
Jin awoke from his trance, releasing his grip and stepping back from Silvia. He slumped his shoulder, exhaling a deep regret for his actions. Promptly he glanced at the girl who still had a boiled face, ’I should have ended it in another way’.
On the other hand, Ryan’s lips parted in broad grins, witnessing his son’s natural ability in swordsmanship and courting women. Behind him, Marina’s eyes knitted while her body stiffened in wary. ’...Don’t tell me!?’.
The Duke stared at Silvia; his gaze was profound, yet it carried a sense of relief. He exhaled softly, gazing down. This was the first time he witnessed Silvia defeated in a duel.
Silvia was a prodigy, excelling in academic abilities, etiquette, and her talent was so rare it only appeared one in a million.

Talent ’Sword Saint’ is a skill that allows the user to master any sword or blade until it reaches the pinnacle of Humanity and is capable of touching the boundaries of transcendence.
Sullivan still remembers those days when his daughter received her talent at five. Her face glimmered in joy. He held those memorable days as the family celebrated togethers in laughter. Unaware of the weight that would befall them soon.
