Anyways, how about it?

After a momentary silence, Damian responded politely.

..If its really what you want, I wont say no.

Huh, youre going to fight?

I clenched my fists.

Honestly, I thought the instructor would have better sense.

Hes only thirteen years old, he could end up hurting him with that sword, even if it is made from wood.

But.should I underestimate Damian?

After all, Damians the hero of this world!

Meanwhile, the instructor who heard Damians answer nodded his head.

He still has that eerie smile.

All right. Lets wrap up todays training, Dalian.

The two men stood facing each other.

Woo-hoo, go Damian!

Wipe that blatantly disrespectful smile off his face!

I cheered enthusiastically for Damian in my heart.

As I did, I heard a soft voice.

Dalian, Ill let you go if you yield to me.

The man that uttered those words wasnt even holding his wooden sword properly.

He held the weapon in a limp way, conveying how much he looked down at Damian.

A forced smile formed on Damians face.

Thank you but no thanks.

As soon as those words left his lips, Damian dashed at the instructor.

What, how can a person be that fast?

I rubbed my eyes, repeatedly blinking in astonishment.

Klunk!

It was the sound of wooden swords clashing against each other.

The instructor who frantically lifted up his wooden sword barely blocked Damians strike.

The man let out a hard groan.

Gah!

But far from stopping at that groan, Damian continued on the offensive.

Klunk, Klunk!

The sound of clashing wooden swords rang constantly.

I swallowed my saliva as I watched them intensely.

I cant believe that the sound of wood slamming into each other could make noises so sharp.

The instructor who had been recoiling and taking slow steps backward shouted in a strained voice.

W-what is this..ugh!

And with that, the sparring was over.

Thwack!

As the instructor backed up, he was caught off guard by a protruding stone behind him, causing him to stumble and fall backward with a heavy thud.

Damian stood over him, pointing his sword at the mans jugular.

I heard Damians cold voice.

You said todays lesson would end with this, right?

what the hell!

I learned a lot today. Thank you.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

It was a calm voice without any hint of emotion in it.

However, it seemed to have only worsened the shame the instructor felt.

His face was redder than a tomato.

He vanished without saying a single word.

Ha, this is wild!

I jumped up from where I was sitting and ran over to Damian.

Your Majesty, you worked so hard, heres your towel!

Oh, Lize. Thanks.

I handed the towel.

As he wiped off his sweat with the towel, he smiled bitterly, murmuring something to himself.

I was going to be patient and just put up with all he said..but I couldnt.

Pardon? What do you mean?

The instructor, he wont be coming to the imperial palace anymore.

Damian glanced in the direction the man had disappeared to.

Why does that matter?

I tilted my head.

This isnt the first time. At this rate, the Emperor will be in complete disgust.

Damian let out a deep sigh.

Welp, on that note, I dont have anything to say.

I rolled my eyes.

well, wont be the first time. Theres no escapingthat.

Its no surprise. Damian already had three of his teachers replaced so far.

In addition to the talent he had and the effort he gave, it was almost instantaneous to overwhelm the knights appointed by the Emperor.

At least through this, its enough to show hes the protagonist of this world.

Then, Damian called me in a voice mixed with laughter.

By the way, Lize.

Yes?

I unwillingly looked back, wrinkling my forehead inadvertently.

Damian reached out, pressing the top of my head with his hand.

So, when will you get taller?

At that mischievous tone, I got irritated.

Hmph, well if his Highness keeps pressing my head, Ill grow less! That doesnt mean I havent grown up any less though! I grew a lot!

But youre still a lot smaller than me, arent you?

Your Highness. Dont you think its a bit unfair to compare the height of a woman with that of a man?

After I shot back, I pulled myself away from Damians reach.

On top of that, Your Highness, dont you remember Im ten years old now?

Meaning?

It means that its already been five years since Ive been promoted to a full-time maid.

I declared so with pride, my hands on my waist and head raised up high.

Damian gave a subtle smile as he looked at me.

So please think about my dignity.

Hold on, you have dignity as well?

Absolutely! Do you know how many maids are under me?

I spoke to Damian, my nose slightly raised at him.

Cant I ask for at least this much?
