Chapter 26: The Princess and the Saintess
“Haa... haa...”
Just as Whitney was wrapping up the meeting after receiving word of Princess Katarina’s arrival and preparing to greet her—
“Just one more time... focus...”
His younger sister, Cecil Ringaarden, was out in the temporary training yard in the mansion’s courtyard, gripping her sword tightly as she caught her breath.
—Crackle...!
Sparks suddenly sparked from the blade she held, and pure energy began to rise from the hilt, wrapping around the ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) entire sword.
“Hup—”
Unable to even wipe the sweat trickling down her forehead, she focused her gaze on the blade. She drew in a deep breath, her eyes sharpening.
—Ziiing...!
The sword she swung forward released a silver arc through the air, letting out a thin slicing sound.
“Haaa...”
Cecil watched as the gleaming trail soared ahead, then slowly scattered like shimmering powder, and finally collapsed to the ground in exhaustion.
