--Charlotte Clemelia is the daughter of one of the kingdom's leading militaries.

Twelve years old this year.Long, milk tea-colored hair, soft.The horizontal hair stretches to the bottom of the cheeks, and the small face is filled with radiance as it is said that the eyes are filled with amber.

The house is one of the most famous for its historic kingdom-style fine swordsmanship, and his father, General Perth Clemelia, leads the national army with a large aristocracy guarding the eastern border.It has a vast territory in the east, and a large mansion in King's Land.

Interaction with other aristocracy is extensive with senior and junior levels, and children of good families are uncontested.

The daughter of the superior aristocracy is a princess who is loved as a butterfly and a flower because of her origins, but Charlotte devotes part of her education to fine swordsmanship because of her father's intention that even a princess of the aristocracy must have a sword.

That's why on this day, she was also working on swordsmanship training.

The location is one of several training grounds owned by House Clemelia in the King's Landing.Especially large among those found in King's Landing, the children of nobles often enter and leave, and are regarded as of the highest quality.

The large room with several lighting windows near the ceiling is bright and the sun shines on the floor.

Surrounded by a lot of underlings, there is a hot voice, standing and poking.

Charlotte's sword is matched by an elderly man, one of Perth's eldest brothers.

Muscular and shoulder-width, it gives the impression of being in front of a stone wall.

Basically, my father (Perth) and brother (Wayne) teach me swords, but they don't always take up time because they also have jobs.So when they weren't there, someone with a good skill was supposed to teach them.

... stick out a wooden sword in one hand and concentrate in half.

On the other hand, the opponent facing each other equally opens his/her right half in front of him/her and extends the distance to reach him/her laterally.

The basic structure of kingdom-style fine swordsmanship.

The target is an adult. It can be judged that there is a physical difference and it would not be a competition if it were normal, but since conditions are set around it, there is no problem.

As she calmed down, she watched the movement happen slowly.

Suddenly, from the stopped state, a hurricane-like thrust appears like a phantom.

Perceived a moment before the behavior took place, and when out of orbit, the opponent's poke stabbed him where he was.

Throwing through the gap and sticking the wooden sword to his neck, the elderly man admitted defeat.

We won. Now we have two out of five.

... I see this [tip of the machine] every time, but sometimes my body doesn't catch up even when I see it.Sometimes your body doesn't move in time, such as when the other person moves too fast.

As a result, it is often possible to lose, even if the opponent's movements are exhausted.

After a while, I noticed a huge sign that the older man was appreciating the way he was moving earlier.

It was my father, Perth Clemelia, who came into the training yard with all his might.

His presence by force further tightens the air in the venue.

Father walked toward us, speaking to his surrounding brother-in-law.

"Father."

"Charles, you seem to be doing well today."

"Yes, I took two from Lord Zell today."

When I tell him the result of the match, my father shows his surprise.

…… I wonder if I can beat Zell anymore. "

"Yes"

Lower your head, mindful of your gentleness.

Then, the elderly man who was dealing with him lined up his praise for reporting to his father."The princess is a genius," "she's a great master," etc.I don't praise you.

Like a lot of compliments, I was so embarrassed that I leaned.

"--hey, the princess seems to be watching in the future."

――

The old man's shoulder jumps with a shrill on his mouth.

Are you looking at the future?That's because the words were right.

It can't be seen.Your heart pulses loudly, even though it can't be helped.

That's because I feel a little guilty about that power.Oh, I thought it was cheating to see the tip of the plane.Because of the foresight that only I can see, I think it would be fair to use it in the competition.That consciousness is deep in your heart.

As he consolidated his statement, his father crouched down and put his hands on his shoulders.

And from the same position, he turned his gaze towards the black mask.

"... I see, you still have a sword's temple."

"Appropriations?

"Oh, it's bigger than me or Wayne."

Father says that talent - not a source of ambiguous power that is not covered by words, but a solid ability - is a gift.It is a high quality given from heaven and a born destiny.

And he that hath decreed it speaketh that no man hath the power that is not ordinary.

The royalty of the great powers, the heroes of the battlefield.Everyone has an incredible endorsement.Because I have it, I am in my current position.

It seems that my father, my brother and myself have it.

Is that the power to see this [machine tip]?I'm not sure, but...

"Charles, it's not evil to use your power to win.Instead, it's bad to let go of your hand without using all your might. "

"Is that so?

Sure, I think that's my power.But if you win like that, is that really good?Even though the tip of the machine belongs to you, can a victory that depends on a feeling like a heavenly scripture that gushed down be said to be a victory of the sword?If you compete, shouldn't the initial point be aligned with the surroundings?

If you think it's cheating, then...

"Charles, the complaints that come out of there are just bluffs.It's just an excuse for losing.Everyone does everything in their power to win.Failure to do so is evil. "

My father sees through his inner anxiety or speaks his answer accurately.

"Yes, I remember. That's good."

"Yes"

He nods to his father's words, which are similar to his orders.Is it forgiven?I don't know about that, but I think a little anxiety has been removed.

That's when my father,

"I just feel it. How about you?

"I can see."

"Ah!... well, if you were me, the greatest swordsman in the kingdom wouldn't be a dream either."

I saw something complicated in my father's expression.I get the impression that I don't like it honestly.

Looking at it strangely, my father reversed his expression.

"Besides, I still don't have the strength to have such a problem."

"Recently, I was able to beat not only Lord Zell, but others!

"Hahaha, is that so?"

My father nods with a smile, but he doesn't treat me as if I were him.

"--But it's Charles.Just one thing to remember. "

"What is it?

"Even if you see Tip , it's not absolute.Even if what you see is your defeat, you can change the outcome unless you give up. "

"I won't give up....."

"Yes, it is."

My father said such a word.

"- Charles at the place. What are your plans for the afternoon?"

"Yes, I thought I'd go for a walk with Risha."

I see. Lisa is your friend and daughter of my ally.Keep it safe. "

"Yes"

I nodded forcefully at my father's words.In the general nobility's view, it is normal for a subordinate to protect a superior, but the father often explains the responsibility of the superior.My men are under protection, not their shields.They want to protect themselves because we are the big umbrella to protect them.Never take it for granted that they will protect you.

Risha is a daughter of the Vicomte and a younger friend to herself.I say I have to protect myself when something happens.

That's why

Swear to the sword.

Hmm.

My father nodded satisfactorily with his vows to the sword.

"Father. Are you sure you want to practice until it's time?

"Very well. - Take the sword."

... so I put my sword together with my father for a while, then wiped my sweat and took a break to the Earl's Mansion.

Upon returning to the Mansion, Risha, who was coming to pick her up, was passed through the reception room.

When she enters the room, she gets up from the sofa and bows to the lady.

As always, Risha is cute.Beautiful silver hair that sparkles in the sun makes it a ponytail.Blue ribbon, ruffled blouse and blue skirt.Bloody lips, plump cheeks.Every part of her plays a role in enhancing her affection.

I particularly like those eyes.Red, crimson eyes.Its brilliance, which is straight and tells the truth, is very preferable.

Greetings such as good afternoon will be there, and you will be taken out of the Mansion with Risha.

... security is good because the main section of King's Landing is patrolled by guards.This is not limited to downtown Bazaar and back streets, but there are lots of noble houses lined with lots, boulevards, and commercial districts where children can walk alone.

Walking with Risha and talking about each other's recent developments.There are also stories about the progress of study and training, from stories and rumours about other houses to recent decorations.

Soon, the fashionable conversation will be about the things you keep in the evening club.

"Yes, to Arks...."

"Yes, take it to my brother."

Apparently, Risha left evidence of fraud at the club with her brother.

- Arcs Laiseft, a boy who was branded disqualified and abandoned by his brother, Joshua Laiseft, head of the Laiseft family.

It is said that the reason for disinheritance is lack of talent.

It seems that he lacked the magical qualities necessary for his house.

The amount of magic is an important factor in the strength of the military.

When the amount of magic is small, it appears in the battlefield.There is only a lot of magic, and when opposed to the same magician, it becomes a winning factor, and you can use that amount to defeat many enemy soldiers.

To put it bluntly, it's a successor.How much you can fight and how long you can fight.How long can I stay on the battlefield?

It would be impossible for the Vicomte to attach importance to that.If you are to be the leader of an army, you must stand on the battlefield and lead your troops.The magician's commander must take the lead in using magic, and to the same extent as the general magician, there is no indication.

It seems cute to be born and everything is decided, but there's nothing you can do about the house.

The amount of magic remains the same for the rest of my life.

The Rayseft family must have been cut off early, especially because of their magical weight.

That's why they honestly demanded the end of the engagement.

But only Risha seemed to have a different opinion of him.

"I think it would be safe if oniisama had it."

"You trust Arks."

"Yes"

Risha's face broke. When she talks about Arks, she looks a lot more pleasant.

I wonder if it's because he's a gentle, sisterly brother.

... I've been attracted to a few boys of my age in my relationship with nobility.A man who lacks training as a legacy of the army, a man who devotes himself to his studies in order to succeed his father.A man who wears around the nobles and behaves gracefully.Depending on the affluence of the house, some neglected to study or train.

Imagine Arks based on Risha.What struck me was a gentle boy with the same silver hair as Risha.A boy who seems to have nothing to do with roughness, or rather an introverted impression.

Imagine being lined up next to the fiancé.

After all, it doesn't hold well.

Mr. Charlotte.

"What is it, Risha?"

When she answered the call, Risha looked down anxiously.

"Is visible talent so important..."

"... that's right.I don't know. "

And, even with the preconceived, in light of what is called nobility, it is still.

"But we aristocrats are those who stand above someone.Standing on someone requires a force commensurate with it.Maybe you need talent that jumps through more than usual.If you're talented, you'll naturally see it. "

"... is that so?"

I wonder if Risha is not convinced that his brother, Arcs, is entrusting him with an affair.

― ― But what if I thought about his situation?

Suppose I didn't have the gift of sword and was treated coldly like him.My father wouldn't have done that, but if he had been born in another house, what would have happened?

If you think so, it still seems unreasonable.

Regardless of the will of the person, the initial point is determined by birth on its own initiative and cannot be overturned by any effort.

If that's what happened to me...
