Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter - Chapter 214

Mother “War…  Mother, is that certain?” Before Iris, who was obviously panic stricken at the notice, my heart was deeply calm. At the same time, I remember when I heard it. “Hey, hey … what was that person’s name again” “You! woman, how long are you going to fight for?” It was nosy… Speaking of being noisy, is Iris now at the royal palace meeting? What time was it that Iris would be returning? That meeting… it’s not something like a party, only thinking that it was planned by Marquis Maras and Queen Elle, I feel nauseated… “Fuu … ….” While breathing out to calm my thoughts, I was able to stretch my whole body. It was quiet. Where did the noise of a while ago went to… the air feels tense. At the same time, I felt a lot of gazes on me. However, it does not bother me at all. Already inside me all the feelings and thoughts were for fighting. When that happens, I can do anything … It is like I’m wrapped in such a full of omnipotence feeling, rather pleasant. The confronted men were frightened by me for a moment.. as if they were trembling. I was worried about Iris, so as to lose some anxiety I went to the training grounds and started practicing. I kept fighting without stop and felt sick in the end. At the state I was, my husband who noticed it, said me to go move the body and calm my feelings, so I came to train. Although it is true that this is a simulated battle, my feelings will settle down the same as if it was only training. Having a sword for training is the best, but in reality for most people it’s odd to see a Duchess handling a sword and fighting with soldiers. ….But I know that my husband would fall in love with me even while seeing me like this, and mostly because of the fact that he knows me well. “……start!” Together with that command of the fight judge’s officials, I switched my whole being into battle mode. The more you concentrate your consciousness, the more it feels like diving into the deep ocean … comfortable as if you are in a different world somewhere apart from reality. Steadily, deeply, forgetting everything and enjoying. The deeper you sink, the more quiet the world is. As the nerves are calm, you can control all the muscles that you usually don’t move under consciousness. Where is the limit of the range of motion of the human body? Where is the limit of speed? When you see the sword coming up at this speed, can you dodge it? and counter attack? Check ​​the time, read the movements, and prepare for it. Oh … it feels good. When I noticed, all of my opponents had collapsed on the ground. A little dissatisfaction tickles my chest. How can they be so fragile!… “…… Hey,  her movements… did you see them?” “What? …… how can a human see those movements? Who is she?” I hear such whispers from here and there, but I decided to ignore it. I got out of the stadium while lost in thought. “… You have a dreadful appearance,” I raised my face as I know that voice, and it was Mr. Schlee who was there. Mr. Schlee … he is a person who stands at the top of Count Anderson’s soldiers. He is one of the few people who have been watching me participating at this training since childhood, knowing that I am the daughter of the General Gazelle and now in the position of Duchess of Almeria. “Mary, I haven’t seen you around lately…” “…. I recently participated in the training because I thought that my body was a little dull.” Although my fighting scene today was serious, it was not such a momentum as if I devote everything into the fight. “It’s embarrassing that our soldiers couldn’t last long against you, it’s as good that you pointed out their flaws.” “No no no … don’t worry … well … They were talking about me having turned from “human soldier” into a “monster” But I do not think anyone was dissatisfied?” I am laughing to Laurent Schrey who is outrageous without real intention. “… even if a monster, anything is okay if you can protect what is important to you” “… are you talking about your family?” I was a little surprised when he asked that with a low voice … yet, I nodded honestly. Top secret was that my husband was attacked. However, since my father knows … Well, it is not surprising even if he heard it as confidential information. “It seems that this country is having difficult times, even if I do not know when peace will be threatened.” “…… Even if you talk about it…… Nothing can be prevented, I need to be prepared”

“Well, you made it in time …. Although the results were a little disapproving… You made a lot of mistakes when killing the assassins immediately…”
