Chapter 477: Eleine, Remember This …
Aldrian was already outside the mansion with a refreshed mind. Swept by the morning breeze, his hair fluttered, giving him added charm. He closed his eyes in the middle of the training field, a peak Heaven-grade sword already in his grasp. He steadied himself with the sword as he lifted it in front of him.
After a few moments, he slowly opened his eyes and suddenly began a series of sword movements. Each movement was deadly, but behind that deadliness was an elegance for those who watched. Every strike was full of power, though at times it seemed as fragile as a falling petal, barely holding any force. The series of movements created a beautiful sword dance.
With the sunrise rising in the east and illuminating Aldrian, the scene offered a quiet aesthetic pleasure.
That was what the few people watching from afar saw. None of them dared to approach Aldrian or watch him too closely. They didn’t want to disturb him or his beautiful moment.
But there was one person who stood closest, just beside the training field. A woman with snow-white hair and a face as beautiful as an angel.
She had been watching Aldrian from earlier, her eyes never leaving him for even a second. When Baek Jimin heard that Aldrian had returned yesterday, she wanted to see him—but she knew Sylphia also wanted the same, so she took a step back.
Now, seeing him again in the quiet of the morning, she felt lucky to witness such a beautiful scene.
After a few minutes of continuous movements from his sword dance, Aldrian finally stopped. Like a respected sword cultivator caring for his blade, he sheathed his sword with reverence.
Many of those watching felt as if they had just emerged from a trance. All they could do was admire him with silent amazement. Even watching the flow of his sword had given them insight—some even felt the touch of enlightenment.
Aldrian took a deep breath and exhaled, then turned to look at the woman who had been standing not far from him. He smiled at her and began to walk toward her.
"It’s not like you to train like this with a sword in the morning," Baek Jimin said.
