Two hours later…
Now I'm sitting on the terrace of my room, intending to dry my hair which is still wet from having just taken a shower. For some reason, an idea crossed my mind. I want to understand better how to play the sword. But this time, a real sword, not wood.
I then walked over to the two guards on guard not far from my room. I asked them to teach me to play the sword.
"But, No. We're afraid—"
"It doesn't matter. I asked for it myself. Anyway, I'm free tonight. It's a shame if time is wasted without getting any benefits."
I tried to convince the two palace guards to teach me how to play the sword. And as a result, they were willing to teach me.
I slowly watched the two as they demonstrated how to fight using a sword. I tried it too. Gradually, I got used to holding a sword. At first, it felt heavy. But with sincerity in my heart, this sword can blend with me so that it feels lighter.
