Common Sense of a Duke's Daughter Chapter 168

Chapter 168

The lamentation of the d.u.c.h.ess I

…… I partic.i.p.ated in training today as well, my body was dull.

… My husband is late, he should have returned already, I have a bad feeling. I rushed with the horse through the path that my husband would pa.s.s.

When I saw my husband being attacked, my blood came up to my head and I slaughtered the enemy in anger without thinking at all.

I was relieved from the bottom of my heart when I had finished them off…

At the same time, I was ashamed of my own self being so dull.

It has been a long time since I had an actual battle. Recently I felt that it has a lot of sense to receive father’s military training.

…… Do not forget.

When it is peaceful, you do not know when that peace will be threatened.

The important thing is that if you do not protect your peace, it will easily slip through your fingers.

“It is a training that I specially designed for you…. Can you be a man and deal with my sword? ”

Once my peer saw my sword coming, he dodged it without question.

…… In the present day, there are no one in the army appropriate to match my sword. Why?, because the movements are not following a pattern but more like my feelings, so my movements are unreadable.

“……Next!”

I Raise my face and call the next army soldier.

A new military recruit named Pixi was nominated by another soldier but…

No one dares come before me.

Looking around, the number of soldiers still standing was considerably low.

Suddenly a person we all knew well appears in my sight.

“… …. Oh, Lyle … Did you, you came to see Marquis Anderson today?”

“Yeah!”

Dida blindly nodded with a blushed face.

I will be rude if I were to laugh at him, but his reaction was so cute as if it were yesterday he was a boy taking the training here.

“What is that reaction towards your Master’s daughter and Lord’s wife?”

Lyle shuddered and and his face became white as a paper.

“It’s fine … Dida, Lyle, please become my sparring partner, whichever of you comes first is fine?”

“Because I will win the game today!”

As I said that, I saw Dida came up to the playground to start and I smiled with my heart rising for a good battle.

The lamentation of the d.u.c.h.ess II

“… … who is that woman?, she is so good!”

“I do not know, but she is outstanding, compelling with that Dida! who is a legend among us!”

“No, rather, Dida is being very bad when sparring with her today. He is being pushed and cannot stand up.”

The people who were recently allowed to partic.i.p.ate in the training of Marquis Anderson were surprised to see the fight between Dida and Mary the Almerian Duke’s wife …..

Only the senior soldiers know Mary’s ident.i.ty. The face of the wife of the duke is not something a regular soldier has ever had the opportunity to see.

Almost all of the guys here are already utterly destroyed by Mary’s sparring.

It seems that everyone decided to support Dida so he protects the men dignity… well, not that it can change the result.

Because Mary is a person told to be that “Genius of geniuses” by General Gazelle, the hero of this country.

She is equal in capability to the past general gazelle in his best times.

Members of the military seniority are all bitter when remembering and without an inch of courage to practice with her.

Sharp sword techniques. Exquisite movements that seems to be invisible to the eyes. If you confront her, you even feel like being actually driven to a dance by her.

In the past, physical fitness and power are something a man could be proud of… well, now are we inferior to the past?

Still, supplementing that, too much quickness and intuition were her natural talents adding a sharp nature that makes her undoubtedly strong.

She is mourning that her body is dull, but where is honestly? I thought she was crazy when I heard it.

…… Certainly, from the point of knowing her everyday and her in the past, I think she pa.s.sed from having a monster’s strength to being a monster at the sword.

Once in a while, having the training with her also got us happy because we can practice giving our utmost but she instead never changes her complexion.

“Winner! Mary !!”

The cheers rose.

Apparently Mary was winning one match after another so relaxed as if she was taking a cup of tea.

It seems that Dida this time was frightened to see Mary angry and sparred worse than other times.

Well, it is unavoidable if we think of his position, but we would never win if there is something that distract us from focusing all our mind and emotions into fighting against her.

That is the real serious intent to kill …. Not something easy to be against…

“….Vice general, who is that woman?”

A medium – sized guy asked me without hiding embarra.s.sment.

Those who underwent this training many times before have known her existence but doesn’t know her true ident.i.ty.

Sometimes I come to train.

However, she is clearly different from now from other times.

She used to practice, hard, … She seriously worked in the training, but she was not serious.

She is now aiming to grow to her best level at a fearful speed.

But from the start was her growth speed strange?

She is right to want to regain her former strength …. It is correct.

Her strength was enough to make people afraid even at the forefront of a mighty military.

“I understand your feelings well, I used to think so long ago.”

I empathize with her with a bitter smile, but her face is not clear. …… Well, I guess I’m not recognized as a person with confidence that has competence.

In my sight she looks like a lonely woman.

Surely, no one can imagine.

That beautifully grown woman once grasped the sword to protect her precious things herself, and walked along a path stained with blood.

Painted on the blood she herself… Her figure was spectacular and beautiful.

“Here is the last weapon of Marquis Anderson and General Gazelle, the most outstanding disciple of General Gazelle, the strongest warrior in the country, we know of.”

It was like a ferocious struggle with goose b.u.mps that took place between the soldiers when seeing her at the battlefield.

Such a brave and brutal kind of figure that inspires fear and admiration from the bottom of the souls of the followers.

Her former accomplishments are all on par with those of General Gazelle.

That’s right. …… It’s not something that can be done by another.

She is supposed to be a n.o.ble lady, daughter of the general of the kingdom, but she is a warrior, the best warrior of all, better than any proud army, on par with her father.That is why only the upper part of the country knows her face, not even all aristocrats know her.

You know, Mr. w.a.n.g, who was in charge of all the power, former prime minister just before his death, and the current Marquis Anderson, and the soldiers of Marquis Anderson all love her.

What I know is that she has such luck, she inspires those feelings.

I was in a close position with her through training.

Mr. w.a.n.g likes her?

Oh yeah, that’s right.

Knowing her there is no reason for her to accept the proposal.

Well …… It seems like he had liked her appearance.

He seems to have tried to marry her earnestly after listening to her battle report.

… But I heard that he gave up, as she said that she would go out of the country if he insisted.The story seems the same as the general, so is it that those of a bloodline are similar at the end?

“You guys are lucky, I do not say that I want to be in your place, but look closely at her moves”

I also look at her movement.

Everyone in this place was paying attention to her.
