The two had exchanged their attacks and parried each other several times after the spar started. Archie waited to attack with full force and tried to gauge how skilled his opponent's sword was. For now, the effect of his clothes would probably help him be more efficient.
The sound of two pieces of wood colliding echoed in the room. The two people only played with their hands and feet humanely, truly displaying elegant swordplay.
"Tck. What can be done, no matter what, you are his son."
From the start, Lucius was made to follow the game’s rhythm from Archie and was having trouble finding opportunities or gaps that he could take advantage of. Not to mention, Lucius realized that Archie was still holding back the force of his Wooden Sword's slash as if he was watching where his abilities were.
It might just be today, or tonight, at least the first time Archie hadn't been out of the Whitehall Residence all day. All needs and meetings are held at home by inviting the parties concerned.Luca had recently brought in the report needed from the church, and for a while, Luca would be the busiest of them all. But he didn't have any reason to object at all. Instead, Luca showed his expressive nature which was so passionate about following the instructions of his colleagues.Without noticing, the sun had set so quickly. On the front porch of their room, Archie enjoyed the moonlight with a glass of warm lemon tea that Layla served on the table. The two of them were seen sitting on an extended bench while leaning against each other.Archie was leaning on the bench and facing out, and the moonlight could fully reflect
The relationship between Shellford's family and the empire could not be said to be good. Despite never being exposed to any matter regarding this, only a few officials in the empire and Whitehall's family had any knowledge of it.Edward Shellford was an honored and most contested warrior in the Litera Empire. His life history is filled with proud achievements in dungeon conquests and missions to guard the boundaries of imperial power against enemies.One day, when the conflict with the enemy kingdom was sparked and grew, Edward Shellford had been foretold to become the general who would lead the war.It's just that some nobles in the empire have their own desires, which are contrary to the true aims of the empire. Meanwhile, Edward Shellford played along the lines of the war with the primary goal of bringing about a
They are the Thirteen Survivors.The thirteen people who had survived the Litera Empire's all-out invasion of their territory. The titles or similar terms are only recognized by close relatives of Shellford and Whitehall, who are completely trustworthy. Meanwhile, from the outside, the existence of The Thirteen Survivors is nothing like ordinary suburban residents.Out of all that, two divine power users are at a high-level, namely Emeline and Elashaa, who have been close friends since childhood. Since the outbreak of war, they have tried many things to thwart and anticipate the worst scenarios that could happen, but to no avail.Not only did the empire's side have some provoking individuals, but the enemy did as well. They were the ones who had fallen for the empire’s bait and sacrificed their kingdoms for th
"Well, that's all I can deliver, Young Master."“Um… Thank you very much. By the way, I didn't see my mom. Is she doing something alone?”Heather reached for the report sheet Archie had finished looking at on the table while answering Archie's question. “Mrs. Emeline is staying in the construction area. Of course, with various supervision from Krakal and Alian. As you know, even when we advise her, your mother still hates to do it," she grumbled.Remembering it was his mother, Archie couldn't help but let out a small sigh.Heather's attitude this morning was a bit different. No, to be more precise, the attitude of all the maids and guards today was indeed different. They seemed to be smiling alone when they saw Archie. At first, Archie thought th
Market monopoly is a condition in which there are only one or a few sellers in the market, so no other party can compete with them. This market is a form of interaction between demand and supply where only one producer deals with many consumers.This market is also said to have no element of competition. The reason is in this type of market, companies usually produce goods or services that other companies cannot produce.Additionally, the monopoly market is impossible or difficult for new 'players' to enter. Government licenses, resource ownership, and copyrights are solid factors for entering this market.At least, that's the theory Archie used to learn in high school. It's no accident why Archie was able to become a civil servant at such a young age. But whatever it was, the application in a different world was an
At just a glance, one could see the difference between an ordinary horse or mount and the white horse that Slide was carrying toward Archie. Considering it was a gift from the empire and was intended for a transcended class possessor, that white horse should have been equipped with a magic item that wasn't lowly in quality."Introduce yourself to your mistress and her future husband, Ivy," Slide said to the horse beside him. Somehow, was it true the horse could understand Slide's words, or was it just a coincidence, but the white horse excitedly neighed when it found Layla’s presence.“Ivy? It's a very pretty name."Actually, Archie never had the experience of naming his pets, he didn't bother to think of anything. One day he had a cat he picked up off the street, and Archie just called it "meow" just li
In just an instant of time, after Archie came and joined the main Whitehall family, many updates and advancements were beyond everyone's expectations. The most significant contribution is the innovation of their young master's genius, and of course, as his fiancée, Layla feels a sense of pride.Layla has been busier than usual, helping Archie with all internal and external affairs. Help Archie choose the possibilities they should choose in deciding a course of action together.Laya could feel that their subordinates' respect for Archie was utterly different from how they had for her. This is not referring to the negative side. The respect of the subordinates to Layla is very loyal, but somehow Layla felt that if it were Archie, everything would be different.The admiration she showed to her lover did not just
Zachary came over wearing his usual facial expression and responses; As if he had anticipated that scenarios would happen, Zachary greeted his daughter and her fiancé.Just like when they first entered, their eyesight would be limited to only two to three meters in front of them, and they would be unable to see anything beyond the darkness. However, their sight was widening where they were standing now; it was later confirmed that several spots within the Fluorescent Mine had a similar eyesight effect.“None of us want to keep this from you, Archie. We all understand that you will find out sooner or later, and on my orders, I told everyone involved in this Mine not to say anything to anyone after they finish working here," said Zachary.Archie wasn't disappointed in anyone, in fact, what he heard was a
