Chapter 14: Knight Commander (2)
A person who insults the sword is unforgivable, no matter the circumstances.
This was the absolute principle of Tanya, Commander of the Gotberg Knights.
From her days in the slums, the only thing that protected her was a single sword.
When she opened her eyes, she swung it.
Even when half-asleep, she would swing it.
Her right hand always rested at her waist, ready to draw.
On rare nights when she was lucky enough to lie down to sleep, the sword was neatly placed at her bedside.
It was because she could wield a sword that she rose to the position of Commander of the Gotberg Knights.
She left behind her life in the slums, embraced chivalry, and became a respected swordswoman.
Yet, it still wasn’t enough.
The title of Sword Expert and the position of a provincial commander were insufficient.
She needed to see just how far she could go with the sword — to reach the summit.
