25 – Dance with the Lion

「Regula Leo」

She is a person with the strange ability of the Leo family’s unique lion heart, also known as lion heart, and she is a self-respecting and generous sister character with pride in her family as befits a collateral family of the emperor.

Among the readers, there was one such character, but it was a case that passed smoothly, and unlike Shaulla, there was no difference between likes and dislikes, but she was so passable that she was not so popular.

But why is that person in front of me now? Please don’t seduce other heroines… One lady is enough…

“What did Regula-sama summon this lowly attendant for?”

“It’s not a big deal, I called it because I wanted to check the rumors about the servant of the Taurus family with my own eyes.”

The eyes that used to look at me as toys have now become the eyes of a predator aiming at prey, and I saw that he was swallowing his mouth with his eyes.

She came up to me like a beast moving slowly, oblivious to her prey’s prey, and raised my chin with her index finger to meet my eyes.

“I want to point a sword at you. Right now.”

Her face approached to the point where it was almost out of breath. The reddish-yellow eyes seemed to resemble those of a lion.

She was in the 5th grade and held the position of student council president at an older age than me and other heroines and characters, but now, a story from a year ago from that story, it was still unclear whether she was doing something other than student council president.

More than that, damn butler. Why does her youthful bloodiness come to me as karma… She said as she slipped her fingers.

“With all due respect to Regula-sama, I am subordinate to the Taurus family. Would you like to speak to my lady first about me?”

“I’ll tell your owner later that I borrowed it for a while. Let’s go. Lunchtime is over.”

She grabs my arm and leads me somewhere. She couldn’t escape her strong grip and was dragged by her. She struggled to get free, but she couldn’t get out of her grip, which was as firm as the little girl who struggled.

In the academy, while receiving attention from everyone passing by and being dragged along, I met familiar eyes.

It was our lady, a woman with blue eyes and platinum hair. Next to her was Shaulla.

While I was eating a cheap sandwich lunch, the girl who met her eyes and looked at me and Regula as if she had no idea what was going on, then ran to her in a hurry.

“Hey! Where are you going!”

The lady who took my hand pulled me to the other side of the road that Regula was on. Thanks to that, Regula’s movement stopped, and I was pulled in both directions by the power of the young lady and Regula in the middle.

When her movements were stopped, Regula’s gaze on her young lady seemed like it would rip her throat at any moment, so she stood in front of her instinctively to protect her.

“Is that Europa Taurus?”

“Yes, it is. Excuse me, but you…”

“I am Regula Leo, a fourth-year student at Muhakgwan, the eldest daughter of the Leo family in the lion’s palace. I’ll borrow your butler for a while.”

…I think I’ve seen this somewhere… When I looked away from her for a moment, Shaula met and smiled awkwardly. If so then…

“No.”

“Why is that? Even if it’s just a matter of simply dividing the sum of the swords?”

After thinking for a moment, the young lady hugged my arm tightly.

“Can I talk to him for a minute?”

“As you like. But lunchtime is ending soon, so I’d like it done quickly.”

I don’t even know who the owner is. Were the heroines here so shameless? Regula, in particular, is a stark contrast to her exhilarating personality during her presidency in her novel…

As soon as Regula’s hand dropped, she dragged me to the bench where the young lady and Shaula were sitting.

“You, what the hell are you doing to get around people like that?”

“I was just…The sunlight was nice, so I was reading a book nearby and was about to go back.”

“Lies!”

“It’s true…”

A young lady with an expression of disbelief. No, I didn’t do it, it’s because the butler’s karma is coming to me…

“It can’t be helped, Miss Europa. She’s not from another family, but from the Taurus family, so everyone can’t help but keep an eye on her.

“Shaula-sama also tried to buy me with money.”

“Hmmm! Khhm!”

It was Shaulla who was clearing her throat and trying to cross over her black history. It’s only been a few days, but after our investigation, it’s amazing that people have been reformed.

“My lady, it’ll be fine. I’m not asking you to come downstairs like Shaula-sama did last time, it’ll be over after we’ve crossed swords.”

“I don’t like doing with someone else what I used to do with myself…”

“I’ll tell you to finish it this time. If that doesn’t work, the lady help me.”

“How can I help you?”

“If you gossip about playing with other people’s servants during class, it will be resolved quickly.”

Even if it is a collateral family, it is the blood of the emperor. What will he do if rumors of such low quality spread from his eldest daughter, So Ga-joo? Of course, why did such a rumor spread to the culprit, and I will summon him to the family.

“That’s my specialty! As for poison and information, it’s a quick sum…”

“Be quiet, Shaula. I’m just about to remember the first day.”

“Yeah…”

Although I felt sorry for Shaula for a moment, who couldn’t say anything in front of the lady, she thought it was her own business and she moved on.

“A couple of couples should be fine. Don’t get hurt.”

“I will follow your orders.”

“But don’t lose. I’d hate to see my butler lose to anyone.”

“I will do my best.”

The lady nodded at my words. Shaula was looking at the two of us with a pale face.

Why not?

First, Regula goes ahead to her gymnasium, and Europa and others follow her. Europa didn’t let go of Sirius’s arm in uneasiness.

“My lady… I’m not going anywhere, so if you fall a little…”

“I hate it.”

“Yes…”

I had to be held until I reached the gymnasium without any resistance. People who arrived at the gymnasium were not particularly impressed, perhaps because they had seen the academy’s official stadium, but it was a small stadium-like building that could accommodate 5,000 people lightly.

Regula came with two swords placed in the corner. She handed one to Sirius.

“Now, let’s pick up a sword and compete.”

As he raised the sword, he remembered his first sparring with Christine. Since then, he hadn’t picked up a sword in Dalian, but he picked up a sword after a long time.

“Originally, I don’t hold a sword, but I will do as Regula-sama said…”

Sirius fell from Europa’s arms and grabbed the sword. Similar to the sword in the training ground under the old mansion, it was a usable iron sword with a moderate feeling of use, but the teeth were not falling out.

“Don’t get hurt.”

Seeing Sirius holding her sword, she was worried about her. I remembered the scar on his chest I had seen before, and my hand gripped his arm. And Sirius, as always.

“Don’t worry.”

He smiled at her and looked at her regula. Regula, from afar, swung her sword around as if to check the weight of her sword, then gave a satisfied smile as if she had adapted.

“It’s a pity that I can’t use my favorite things, but just being able to compete with the Taurus family’s butler right now should be considered a great fortune for me.”

“hahahaha, please.”

Her skills are intermediate to expert level. She was also portrayed as the strongest of her heroines, with the addition of her family’s unique ability, Lionheart’s ability. Now, a year before that, Sirius, who thought it was the beginning of an expert at least, was nervous.

Even if you don’t fight with an expert like the butler, can you safely fight without getting hurt? Called.

His imperial swordsmanship teacher, Robert, was at the end of an expert, but he lamented that he could not step on the path of a master in the end. He became a carpenter, a servant of the Taurus family, without being able to break down that wall as a swordsman.

Seeing the sight of Sirius holding her sword straight and taking her stance, she took her stance too.

I can’t even step out now. Although he did not follow the path of the sword like Robert, he thought that he could imitate Robert, the end of the expert, by following everything he had learned and the tricks of the imperial swordsmanship he had learned from Robert.

“It’s ready, Regula-sama.”

“Then come anytime. I am ready.”

According to her words, Sirius rushed. Sirius, who had been driven by instinct like an old beast, was no longer there. Based on the movement of the imperial swordsmanship, he swung his sword aiming at Regula’s gap and flank.

The sound of swords clashing with each other. Even though he was aiming for an opening, Regula lightly blocked his sword as if it was on purpose.

‘It’s lighter than I thought?’

Disappointed at her unexpected power, she swung her own sword. The coercive and heavy swordsmanship passed down from generation to generation was directed at Sirius.

Perhaps he noticed the power of the sword, Sirius, who slipped backwards and lightly avoided it, charged again. Noticing the light block he had just swung, he swung a little harder, feeling that he didn’t have to do the same to Europa as he did every day.

Seeing no time to dodge his swift and heavy swordsman, she raised her sword to block it.

Even when she was in her family and shared her sword with her knights, she opened her mouth to an experience she hadn’t felt.

“It’s different from before. I didn’t expect it to be this heavy.”

“Is that so? I’ll keep going.”

Soon after that, he continued to wield his sword. Bright yellow eyes pierced her gaps one after another. Her shoulders, sides, thighs, and even her neck were going crazy trying to stop them from casually aiming for fatal wounds whenever there was an opening.

But did people say that humans are creatures of adaptation? In that short period of time, Regula adapted to her heavy swordsmanship and began avoiding the trail of her sword one by one, and started aiming for Sirius’s gaps in order to become a trick to deliberately create gaps in her. Did.

“Isn’t that too simple?”

“Then let’s go lightly.”

He stumbled away from her side for a moment, stepped on a step in place, and charged with a quick sword. The sword she wielded quickly drew her path and approached her.

As she blocked her sword strike, Sirius swung another sword strike like flowing water. Previously, it was a simple sword attack by a huge elephant swinging its trunk, but now it was like a pack of wolves hunting for their prey.

She could count on her hands anyone who pushed herself this far, but she had no one younger than her. When she was pushed back to the point where she was pushed behind her, her brown magic radiated from Regula. Waves of magical power resounding like a lion’s roar, Lion Hearts filled the gymnasium.

Seeing it right in front of his eyes, Sirius realized the reason for her strength.

The sword he was holding became a bit heavy, and her movements and nerves became dull as if under her spell. Compared to that, Regula’s sword, which had become faster, was as sharp and ferocious as her lion’s teeth and claws.

But that’s all for him. In his self-discipline he has experienced more and more dangerous situations. Sirius single-handedly pierced through the passing of Robert, the end of Sword Expert, and Ramden, the master of dual swords.

Because of the Lionheart’s effect, he felt that he was a little slower than usual and lacking in strength, so he swung his sword more vigorously than before. Her sword, pointed at her Sirius, ricocheted and the sword she held fell to her floor.

Before he had time to retrieve the sword, the sword aimed at his neck came to a stop less than a span away.

“Ha, that’s really nonsense.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Contrary to her absurd expression, he greeted her neatly and retrieved the sword she had dropped. The teeth of the sword were slightly damaged, but the academy would take care of it, so I didn’t care.

“Why didn’t you show your skill a bit more?”

They both ended without a single injury, but the self-respecting Regula looked at Sirius with resentful eyes. Sirius, ignoring the look in his eyes, waved his hand.

“I was afraid that Regula-sama wouldn’t get hurt. And Regula-sama must have been a sword expert, but she didn’t use a sword aura.”

“That’s… Right, but…”

Regula was hesitating a little bit regretfully. Sirius felt the same way. He was more familiar with other weapons than the sword, but this time he was just pushing with force and speed.

From the middle, when using the quicksword, it was a counterattack that was pushed back with power and the trajectory of the sword, which focused only on speed without any hints of imperial swordsmanship. He was close to half a penny in terms of swordsmanship, and he felt bad for winning.

“Still, I think I know a little bit which way to go. Thank you for listening to my insistence.”

The refreshing face Hippar showed me a few days ago. As if he had always liked that face, Sirius bowed his head in greeting.

“It is a great honor to have helped. Princess Regula.”

“Yes, so. Do you intend to join the Leo family? I will pay you well.”

“Oh, that’s what Shaula over there next to my lady told me a few days ago.”

When he pointed at Shaulla where Europa and Shaula were, Regula’s expression went bewildered, but then a smile broke out.

“Ahahahaha. You already have a player. And of course the result is obvious. Please ignore my nonsense.”

“If you beat me, I’ll do what I didn’t hear.”

“It’s like a damn butler.”

“hahahaha, I hear that word often from my lady.”

About the time that conversation was going on, Europa and Shaula came towards them, and Sirius showed her the smile she always had for her.

“I finished safely according to the lady’s order.”

“You’ve worked hard. Thank you for doing my favor.”

“It’s my job.”

She also showed a soft smile. The lunchtime at the academy, which had been so noisy without anyone knowing, was over.
