Second Chance: Raising A Yandere Demon Lord - Chapter 57

Odette moved slightly back as Adrian’s sword moved past her cheek. While her cheek managed to avoid coming in contact with the sharp edge, the same could not be said for her hair.

A small part of her hair was cut off due to his move, and as it fell on the ground, she stared down at it.

Adrian, on the other hand, appeared startled by what happened, and his eyes widened. A gasp escaped from his mouth while he looked down at the fallen pink hair.

Odette’s lips curved up to form a smile at his progress. So say that he was a quick learner was an understatement at that moment. Even though he had merely started this seventh months ago, he managed to get this far.

Although Odette was going easy on him and left a quite lot of openings, she did not expect for the boy to catch them. At this rate, maybe he would be able to surpass her sooner than she had originally calculated.

Sweat dripped down the boy’s face while he made his way towards Adrian. Staring at her from top to bottom with worried eyes, he vocalised, “I am so sorry, Lady Odette. I did not mean to do that. Are you fine?”

The concern, in place of the fear, in his tone caused the blooming of certain emotion within her chest one that Odette found herself being fond of but couldn’t name.

“I am not weak,” Odette voiced out as she chortled.

“But you did not hurt me, and I did that to you. I am really sorry, Lady Odette. From next time onwards, I will try to be more careful,” he said.

“If you are going to that, I will bring Dennis to train with me, instead of you. I don’t need you to hold me, and the objective was this for you to attack me,” Odette stated, “Do you want me to do that?”

Instantly, his eyes dilated further at that, and shaking his head, he voiced out, “No, I don’t want that. I don’t want Dennis to train with you like I do. It doesn’t matter with Sir Nicholas, but I want us to train together alone.”

Being caught by surprise at his words, Odette let out a chuckle and expressed, “Oh my! You are quite possessive. Anyway, you did well, Adrian. As expected, you did not let me down. If you are able to injure me next time, I will give you a reward.”

“It sounds bad to wound you to get a reward, but I will try my best in order to not let out down, Lady Odette!” the boy cheerfully voiced out.

A soft ‘meow’ caught his attention, and turning his eyes towards the left, his eyes fell on the white kitten. Seeing how the small cat stood up on the ground, a wide smile formed on his face.

“You are awake, White!” he exclaimed, “After I finish my training, I will play with you, alright?”

“You spend all the time you get with it. Are you that fond of the kitten?” Odette questioned.

Facing Odette, Adrian enthusiastically nodded his head while there was a sparkle in his eyes and said, “I really like White!”
