The defeated knights accepted the result.

"Sorry, Miss."

"We humbly apologize for not recognizing your swordsmanship and for putting you down."

Iris looked down at them gravely and turned away.

"There's no need for it at all."

From behind, her brother came toward her.

"Iris."

Her brother glared at her with a reproachful look.

"Why are you, a woman who's marrying tomorrow, setting up at the training ground?"

"Brother, they insulted me first."

"That's why you're the problem."

Sighing pitifully, he lifted up the knights.

"My sister's been acting out. I'm sorry."

"Oh, no!"

"I look forward to her taking lessons from today and showing more sincerity in the future."

Orchid's eyes, which read the knights, turned colder.

"Iris. If you're a Valentine, you should have maintained an unshakable composure when facing such words."

Iris bit her lips.

"If you're shaking at such words and swinging your sword, it's no wonder you're still at that level. Do you still not know?"

Orchid went on and on.

"If you want to show off your skills, then do it in front of me. I'd like to take a look."

Orchid drew a long sword and aimed Iris.

Clearly, this was a fishy situation, but Iris' fingertips still trembled with wounds.

I know it all.

Iris was no match for Orchid. To be exact, she was not competent to fight a superior knight.

Because I can't handle the sword.

A superior knight can handle the sword.

Therefore, the higher the level, the ability to use the sword was important than the skill to use the sword.

This was because the sword transcended the knight's physical ability.

No matter how hard you try, you can't handle the sword.

She was not afraid to lose.

It's a familiar thing.

I have always been outdone by my genius family.

It was nothing new.

However, it was always painful to realize the extend of her talent.

"You aren't showing your skills to those lesser than you, are you?"

Orchid said firmly.

"If that's the case, then your sword is so ugly."

Iris now knew how to convince him.

As usual, I'll put myself down.

Iris slowly dropped her head.

If I just apologize and put my brother's wisdom into my mouth, then everyone will be happy.

"Yes."

Then, a low, languid voice divided the two. "Aren't you two a family?"

Iris turned her head.
