Kite remembered a boy he had met briefly in the library a long time ago.

Kite liked the shine in his eyes, but he wasn�t that interested as he was a servant of the family.

�That�s what happened?�

Rian spoke who was now neatly dressed.

�Master, let�s finish our training for today. I have to see my father. I have to go to the mansion.�

�Unfortunately, you cannot.�

Rian looked at him weird.

�What are you talking about?! My friend is in danger!�

�Did you not say he was a commoner?�

�What does that have to do with anything?! Master, are you that kind of person?! You said it too! Anyone who can converse with a sword can become a friend!�

Kite clicked his tongue.

His student, who did not understand the ways of the world, had gotten someone into trouble.

�What are you going to do when you get there? Are you going to wail and cry like a baby?�

�Master!�

�Rian, anyone can be a friend. But this is a matter between the people directly involved. Bad rumors can affect the position of the Ogent family. They�ll do anything they can in order to ensure those rumors never see the light of day. Your foolishness will not be of any help in this situation.�

�So I should just stay still?! I reached out to Shirone first. I will not give up on him! I am no coward!�

�Hmm��

Kite stared at his student�s eyes.

�Such fine eyes. No lies, only passion. And above all, they are pure.�

�One does not become a great swordsman with their eyes!�

Nevertheless, Rian made him endlessly look forward to something and made him support the kid with all his heart.

�Here, take this.�

Kite handed his sword to Rian.

Rian didn�t know what his teacher wanted him to do with the sword in particular, but he understood his intentions.

Rian would have to risk his own life if he wanted to solve this situation.

�If you decide to go to the mansion with this sword, I�ll let you go. But don�t make a step if you�re not determined enough. It will only make things worse. This situation is already out of your control.�

�Master.�

While looking at Kite with fierce eyes, Rian smiled.

As he bowed his head down politely, he held out his hands and grabbed the sword from Kite in silence. JrNovels.com
