Chapter 296: A Duel of Magic and Steel
"Damn you, I will never forgive you!" Hiraga Saito pointed his sword straight at Wardes, his gaze burning with fury and contempt towards the man in front of him.
He had always been a good-natured person.
But if there was one thing he would never allow, it was for anyone to play with Louise's feelings.
"Hmph, and what do you intend to do about it?" Wardes looked at him with contempt, confident in his advantage in both height and strength. To him, this furious commoner was nothing more than an insignificant child.
Before Saito could respond, Wardes swung his sword in a swift motion.
In an instant, a furious whirlwind was unleashed, striking Saito with such force that he was thrown to the ground. The same gust carried away two knights who were trying to flank him from the sides.
Chelsea shook her head and sighed. "This is embarrassing. Are you really knights and swordsmen?"
Without losing her cool, she moved forward until she was in front of Wardes, shielding the still-shock-ridden Louise and the unconscious Prince Wales with her body.
"Tell me, beautiful lady, who are you and why do you stand in the way of my mission?"
Wardes smiled as he spoke to her. He had noticed the way Chelsea had transformed from a small bird into her human form. Such a mysterious spell made him wary.
However, no matter how polite and gentle his tone was, Chelsea did not understand a word.
