Chapter 198: The Tin Knight and The Crossroads of Swords and Magic (8)
“I hear you skipped training again today.”
During the pleasant, joyful dinner time.
Adelaide, who was staring seriously at the mountain of mashed potatoes piled in one corner of her plate as if it were her life’s nemesis—because eating only excessively luxurious food wasn’t good—flinched at her father’s words.
“N-no, Father. I didn’t skip it.”
“Avoiding eye contact when making excuses is as good as admitting you’re not being honest. You must have something on your conscience to act like that.”
“Um, umm.”
Adelaide had nothing to say.
While she had filled the set training time, the truth was that she had indeed cut corners here and there.
It was possible because the knight in charge had been accommodating, but in fact, the knight also had something to say.
Although it was common for training in prestigious families to start from a young age, she was only thirteen.
How could they be harsh on a girl who looked even younger than her actual age due to the Lion Duke’s bloodline’s characteristic slow aging?
Adelaide rolled her eyes around.
