So I'm a sheep.

"He was originally the illegitimate son of Count Bambe. When I sent him back to the city, the Count rewarded me with a large bag of gold coins."

Sasha rambled on: "Back then, the Earl even invited me to stay and help suppress the bandits, but I saw how powerful the Forty Thieves were, so I secretly slipped away."

"Luckily we got away quickly, you know what? Later, even the Earl was killed by those bandits!"

Aman and Lachesis exchanged bewildered glances. It was indeed bizarre, but not entirely impossible.

It's common for nobles to have chaotic private lives and illegitimate children.

Not to mention the Earl, even His Majesty the Great King has similar rumors!

"You're really lucky, my apprentice!"

"Sister, you call yourself the invincible sword saint, why don't you stay and help the Earl suppress the bandits? You might be able to earn more money that way."

Aman has already believed Sasha's words, but Lachesis has expressed doubts.

.........................................

"Oh dear, even if I make money, I need to be alive to spend it."

Sasha pouted: "When I was escorting the Earl's illegitimate son back to the city, I fought with the bandit leader."

"That guy is skilled in both spear and sword, he's really something else!"

“I’m not afraid of him in a one-on-one fight, but he has other experts under his command.”

The girl shook her head and said, "Mainly, it's because the Earl's price was too low. If he had offered ten times the price, giving me ten thousand gold coins, I might have stayed."

Ten thousand gold coins? You really dare to say that!

Seeing Lachesis's speechless expression, Sasha changed the subject.

"Sister, what do you think of my suggestion?"

You mean opening a shop?

"yes"

"..."

Without much hesitation, Lachesis smiled and said, "Then let's open a shop. We can earn more money and have more freedom."

"What about you, teacher?" Sasha asked Aman.

"With your filial piety from such a good apprentice, why would I need to mooch off the baron's mansion?"

Aman laughed loudly, "I'll resign from my job tomorrow and go help Daya run the shop from now on!"

"No need for your trouble, I'm at..."

Before Lachesis could finish speaking, Aman waved his hand and said, "I'm just idling around anyway, I need to have something to do, right?"

"I'll go to the store to help you out, and also to relieve my own boredom."

"Haha, don't be so polite with me!"

Seeing her sister and teacher Aman so happy, Sasha felt happy too.

'The boss is really generous; he even gave me such a nice gift at the end.'

'I will repay his kindness to the best of my ability in the future, no, even if it's a bit of a struggle.'

................................

The next morning, Aman went to the Baron's mansion to resign.

Things might be a bit complicated; she didn't come back for lunch until noon.

There's no rush to take over the shops; we can get things done once Oman, this seasoned veteran, has some free time.

"Er Ya"

"Ok?"

"My sister wants to test your swordsmanship."

Sasha was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Why did you agree?"

"Little sister, didn't you want to find someone who's better at fighting than you? Let me see how good you are at fighting, so I can find someone based on those criteria in the future."

"..."

"Fine, sister, you're really persistent," the girl said weakly.

"I can only feel at ease when I see you living a good life."

Lachesis ran into the room and fiddled with things for a while, then came out carrying the wooden sword that Sasha had used for her initial training.

"Let's go outside and practice our moves. It's not good to break anything inside the house."

No, you think you can go into battle with a broken wooden sword?

"I forgot to tell you, my sword is named Undying Lake Light."

"It's a divine weapon given to me by the lake spirit, Jasmine!"

“Oh,” Lachesis nodded.

Damn it!

Sasha was so angry that her chest ached, and she walked out first.

"Neigh—"

Seeing its owner approach, the soybean thought it was time to eat again and couldn't help but chirp happily.

"I'm going to have a duel with my sister later. If I win, I'll give you a carrot. If I lose, we'll go hungry together."

"Neigh?"

"Neigh!"

Soybean looked at its angry owner, then at Lachesis holding a wooden sword, and suddenly became anxious.

"This horse is so intelligent."

Lachesis felt a surge of affection: "Erya, don't let it go hungry later, it's so pitiful."

"You dare underestimate me, Lachesis! Take this!"

.....................................

As the undestructed Lake Light was unsheathed, Lachesis retreated rapidly, but still had several strands of her hair severed.

"I already held back with that sword strike."

Sasha said expressionlessly, "If you want to admit defeat, do it now. Don't cry if you hurt yourself later."

"You really haven't been wasting your time all these years, Er Ya."

Lachesis looked slightly surprised: "Let's pause for now. I might not be able to beat you right now. You need to share your experience with me."

"Hmph, no problem!"

Sasha explained the techniques of generating power from simple to complex, and also told Lachesis about the theory of 'expressing emotions through the sword'.

I'll wait for you for a year.

"No, we can start now."

Without saying a word, the girl drew her sword again.

However......

He dodged it!

Even faster than the girl's sword strike, Lachesis dodged the attack with ghostly speed.

The techniques you just mentioned are very useful.

Lachesis smiled and said, "I feel much lighter now."

brush!

Lachesis unleashed another sword strike, then calmly retreated.

"You swung your sword at my sister three times, and I'll return the favor once!"

Finding solace in the sword is a very interesting idea.

It was strange that she couldn't sense any emotion in her sister's sword, but even without a reference, Lachesis was confident she could succeed on her first try.

Volume 1: Chapter 651 The Sword of Love

Lachesis's sword strikes were slow, not fast, and her face showed no eagerness to defeat her enemy, but rather a smile.

Faced with her sister's tender gaze, Sasha stood there like a dazed fool, unable to move.

Why?

This sword is imbued with Lachesis's deep love and care for her younger sister Sasha, making it not a sword of slaughter, but a sword of love!

Unable to dodge, Sasha felt as if her legs were filled with lead in the face of her sister's care. She could only watch helplessly as the wooden sword reached out to her and then gently patted her on the head.

"..."

Although she had considered the possibility of defeat, the girl never expected to lose in this way.

After a moment of stunned silence, Sasha blushed and shouted, "You, how could you cheat!"

"How did I cheat?"

"We're dueling right now, how dare you act like the older sister?!"

Lachesis was immediately displeased upon hearing this, and she tapped her sister's head with her wooden sword again.

"No matter when, where, or what I'm doing, I'll always be your older sister."

"Er Ya, are you trying to cheat and refuse to admit defeat?"

Who, who cheated!

Sasha was very frustrated, feeling that she hadn't even shown her full potential.

If Lachesis were at her peak, fueled by murderous intent, and without cheating, she should be able to win!
