Chapter 214 The Princess's Garden (3)
The Crown Prince's wedding was a major event in Holmtet, attracting a large number of people. In order to further boost the economy, an event was planned. That was the "Grand Battle to Commemorate the Crown Prince's Wedding".
This is an event where participants compete in martial arts in an arena. And one martial artist will make waves in the fighting arena.
The female swordsman wore a mask covering her mouth and a dress on the fighting stage. She defeated many strong men one by one. Her performance made people's blood boil, so she was unconsciously called "Sword Princess Nicole" from her registered name.
Because it was a commemorative meeting, a VIP seat was set up. There, Albert, sweating, smiled reluctantly.
It was almost impossible for Nicole to live a life hiding her hobbies. The biggest problem was that Nicole herself was a rather rebellious person. Not to mention, the person she was wielding a sword on the fighting stage was her soon-to-be wife.
He couldn't believe his eyes at first. The new crown princess, who didn't like to show off her martial arts skills, was absent, but this was considered a deception to hide her hobby. However, the person in question actually participated in the martial arts competition. It wasn't just the citizens who were deceived, Albert was the same.
As Nicole changed her name to Sword Princess Nicole and continued to win, she was eventually defeated in the final. Perhaps even this was to avoid appearing to be too conspicuous a cheat.
That night, Nicole appeared in his bedroom and said to him, "Did you see what I did?" Albert reportedly looked like he was about to cry.
--------------
Although Tulio continued to fight with Nickel several times, he ultimately failed to win.
This was enough to crush his growing confidence. Although he was stunned for a moment, he regained some consciousness when Finola took his hand and walked to the pavilion and asked him to sit down. However, it seemed that Tulio needed some time to fully return to reality.
"Will you continue to improve your strength?" Ye Kai asked, and Nikki grinned. This was because she had confirmed the strength of the black-haired young man.
"To catch up with you, I must hurry up. Because I am not getting any younger."
“If you really think you are no longer young, please don’t give up. Otherwise my companions will be defeated.”
“Oh, you mean that guy? He just didn’t practice enough.”
"So I hope you won't completely stifle his progress. Although this time it will be a good medicine."
The young man replied sarcastically: "Is your partner's spiritual cultivation not enough?"
“Can you please stop bullying young people who are developing?”
"The way you say this doesn't sound convincing at all."
--------------
The two of them had been together for more than ten years, including the six years of absence. However, the hero in front of him had not lost his youthful vitality at all. This made Nicole feel an inexplicable feeling of worry and relief.
"This is a place that has never changed, but I am getting older. At this time, my grandchildren are so cute, and I can't compete with them. Can you make me feel younger?"
This place called the Princess' Garden was set up for Nicole's hobby. Only here can she wield a sword. After learning this fact, Ye Kai came to this pavilion regularly and served as Nicole's partner.
She and Ye Kai had the same experience of being promoted to an unexpected position. Although they did not sympathize with each other, they tried their best to ease her pain.
"You're right. You fought those beasts in Treba, right? And Galatea too. I'm the only one left here, trapped. Sigh... I want to make a scene on the battlefield, too."
"Speaking of such dangerous things again. Most of the people who rule Treba are people you said are not worth mentioning."
"Well, there aren't many people who can match you anyway. Otherwise, I wouldn't have a place to stand."
Galatea is a military officer of Galatea and a frequent visitor to the garden. He knows Nicole's true character and they are good friends.
This was originally a familiar relationship between the two martial arts sects. They deepened their friendship here through words and swordsmanship.
"Take a short break. Is that ok?"
"Yes. I have no objection, but do you want to cooperate with her? I don't think you will be disappointed." Ye Kai pointed at Cham.
"Oh, if you say so, I can't wait." Nicole's smile was a little animalistic. Tulio was also easily defeated. He closed his eyes and concentrated.
So, Cham raised his wooden sword and confronted the princess, and they both went into serious mode.
------------------
The princess' maid handed them a two-handed wooden sword. Cham was equipped with a shield. Both sides were in full force mode.
Judging from the atmosphere created, it was completely different. The pressure in the air made people feel uneasy, as if they were about to collapse. The sword energy rose lightly as if it was carrying heat. However, the sight was as calm as if it was frozen.
For normal people, it is a place that cannot be set foot in. Once you step into it, you will eventually feel the feeling of being cut from every inch of your skin to the fragments.
Ordinary swordsmen might be attracted by the beauty of the sword light wielded by Nicole, and even give up their lives without knowing the pain. Her swordsmanship is so superb.
The blade that was lowered moved as if attracted by Cham's shield, making a slight sound. Although a slight reaction force could be felt, it did not feel like it had cut anything.
The existence that was supposed to be there completely disappeared as if it had cut through the mist or the glow of the clouds. By the time he noticed it, the opponent's sword light had already approached within the blink of an eye.
While keeping her foot on the axis, she forced her right foot to move out, swinging her arms only by moving her body's center of gravity. Although the sword that Nicole swung later was accelerated to a terrifying degree, it seemed to disappear in an instant after it hit. She couldn't imagine how fast she would need to be to do this.
Moreover, the attack performed at such a speed did not lose its sharpness or weight. Even if it just brushed past, she could feel the shock like an electric shock. She didn't even remember how she dodged it. It might just be an instinctive reaction of her body. She felt such a strong sense of crisis.
The sword energy swung by the woman fell like a heavy hammer. Although I tried to catch it with my shield immediately, if it came into direct contact, I would be frozen by the reaction force.
