Ackermann, who had regained his senses, looked at his sister Blanche with a love-hate relationship.
"Tell me, what should I do?" Ackermann could only ask his sister for help in order to see Isabella.
"Aha, you're finally begging me. I thought you weren't going to beg me anymore." Blanche became proud again.
"Hurry up and tell me, my good sister. Don't keep me in suspense." Ackermann could only suppress his patience and ask his sister.
"Alright, I think you can disguise yourself as a group of smugglers and cross over Wilson's mountain range to see the woman of your dreams. As for father, I will think of a way to smooth things over for you. When the time comes, you just need to be smart and go to the hinterland of the north. Disguise yourself as a merchant there and say that you have an important treasure to offer to their king. Perhaps you will be able to see the Isabella that you've been yearning for day and night. "Blanche told her brother her idea in one breath.
After listening to her brother, he fell into deep thought. It wasn't that he hadn't thought of this method before. He believed that with his sister's intelligence, she could help him hide it from his father for a long time. After all, his father loved this little sister of his very much. However, the problem was that this method was very dangerous. Even if it succeeded, what if Gravel saw through his identity and arrested him as a spy? Wouldn't that be giving away a hostage for nothing?
"Don't think about it, my good brother. Time waits for no one. By the time you think it through, that Isabella will be a mother. Also, for the sake of the goddess in your heart, you don't even dare to take this risk. What kind of love is that? "Blanche said straightforwardly.
Charle didn't have a choice. His sister was right. This was his only chance. Who asked him to love an extraordinary person?
A few days later, Charle left Blackstone Castle with a small group of trusted personal guards in the name of returning to Kelandil to look for his brother.
Everyone was traveling light and riding fast horses. However, they were carrying an extremely precious item. It was placed in a rectangular box. This was an item that was to be presented to Gravel. It was carefully kept.
After exiting the Blackstone Fort, the group pretended to head towards the direction of Galandier. However, in the blink of an eye, the group of people had taken a detour from their original route and ran towards the deserted path, heading towards the dangerous Wilson Mountains in the north.
This was the border where there were very few troops on both sides. The reason why there were so few troops was because there was no need to. There were ravines, jungles, precipitous cliffs, and ferocious beasts. It was very dangerous, and it was easy to get lost. It could be said that there was basically no road.
There was no other way. For Isabella, even if he had to climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of fire, he had to give it a try.
Back in the Kingdom of Northland, Gravel had been troubled by something recently. Fortunately, he had Isabella by his side.
When there were things that Gravel couldn't discuss with the lords, ministers, and nobles, he liked to talk to Isabella. He would often be enlightened and solve the troubles in his heart.
As a result, Gravel went to the manor where Isabella lived.
At this time, Isabella was practicing her swordsmanship with the company of a few personal maids.
Among these maids, there was a maid called Kay. This maid did not have a surname because she was the daughter of a slave. She and Isabella grew up together. They were about the same age, and Kay was only three years older than her. Kay's mother was from Northland. At that time, she was a slave captured by the Empire and sent to the North to secretly take care of Isabella, who was just born not long ago. Kay also came to the North with her mother and stayed by the side of this little princess who was not liked since birth.
Since young, the two of them grew up together under the careful care of Kay's mother.
Many years later, on the night of Kay's mother's death, Kay's mother told the young Kay the truth of the matter at her bedside.
At that moment, she realized that she and her sister, who she spent all her time with, were people from two different worlds.
For a moment, that kind of blow was no different from losing two of her family members, the two closest people to her. After so many years, Kaiyi also understood that people's fates were different from the day they were born. Some people were born to be slaves, while others were born with a silver spoon in their mouths. This was something that could not be made up for no matter how hard one tried, because from the beginning, they were from two different worlds.
This was fate. Even though so many years had passed, Kay still took care of Isabella on behalf of her mother as if she was her own sister. Kay was also a free person, but she was still a free person without a surname.
In the manor, Kay was wearing a female leather armor. Her exquisite curves showed off Kay's perfect figure. Kay was not very good-looking, and she could not compare to her sister Isabella. However, Kay was not ugly, just more ordinary.
However, Kay's strength was indeed better than Isabella's. She held a small round shield in her left hand, and the spear in her right hand was replaced with a female spear wrapped in cloth. She wore a helmet and was glaring at Isabella.
Isabella, wearing a training armor and a wooden two-handed sword, was also facing Kay.
The two of them faced each other, and a wonderful fight was about to begin.
At this time, Gravel also arrived at the manor with the guards. Gravel indicated that the guards did not need to inform Isabella, and that he could directly enter.
As soon as he entered, he saw Isabella and Kay sparring. The other maids were also watching and learning.
Kay was the first to attack, madly rushing at Isabella. Her speed was extremely fast, and her strength was also ruthless. She first feinted an attack at Isabella's head, wanting Isabella to block this attack.
She immediately attacked with three consecutive stabs, but Isabella used her movement skills to dodge this probing attack, and blocked it with a backhand block, breaking the attack. Kay directly turned around, using her right hand to wave the lady's spear, and with a horizontal sweep, she wanted to attack Isabella's lower body.
Isabella was also not to be trifled with. She waved the wooden two-handed sword and heavily slashed at Kay, causing Kay to have no choice but to use the round shield in her left hand to block the slash. It should be known that if this slash hit her body, it would not be a joke.
In this way, the two sides went back and forth, you attack and I defend. For a moment, the fight was so intense that the other maids completely did not notice that Gravel was also watching this fight.
Kay, on the other hand, saw Gravel and was momentarily distracted. She wanted to win against Isabella, just like in most situations.
But it should be known that when the difference in strength between the two sides was not too great, a flaw or distraction could easily be grasped by the opponent to create a decisive blow.
Isabella of course saw Kay's flaw, but could she use this flaw to decide the victory in one fell swoop? Gravel did not speak, he only silently watched this fight.
