Chapter 214
Cold sweat beaded on Hamilten’s forehead as he stepped back.
A shiver had crept over him without his realizing. He rubbed his neck and opened his mouth.
“...Have we met before?”
“Is that really what matters right now.”
It wasn’t an unreasonable question.
After an awkward pause, Hamilten frowned with one eyebrow.
“Look. I don’t know who you are, but I’m here under the Count’s orders to teach the Young Lady swordsmanship. So if you don’t mind, how about stepping aside instead of interfering?”
“Swordsmanship, you say.”
Daniel let out a short, incredulous laugh.
“You’re calling it swordsmanship—beating on a ten-year-old child. If you’re proud enough to call that education, you must’ve been raised the same way.”
The smirk vanished from Hamilten’s face.
“...I don’t know what kind of gutter you crawled out of, but you’d better watch your mouth. If you’re not careful, I might end up teaching you some swordsmanship.”
