The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - [Author: Writing Ant]

Chapter 37

"By the way, my lady."

"Hmm?"

"If you are worried about the obedience that was wagered during the spar with young master Raon, it can be solved by pressuring the annex building. It can be silently taken care of, using the direct line's authority..."

"No, don't do it."

Martha shook her head definitely. Her pupils, resembling black pearls, shone with a clear light that was missing before.

"The fact remains that I lost, and in the most miserable way, at that."

She knew better than anyone the reason that she lost to Raon.

'The defeat wasn't because of my carelessness. I simply lost, that's all.'

Raon sliced through her sword using that red aura. Since a swordsman had lost her sword, the victor was already decided at that point.

And yet, he threw away his own sword and fought her a second time, using his fists.

If she acted shamefully towards someone who'd fought her like that, her father would be more disappointed in her.

"A Zieghart should keep their promise, even if it is a stupid one. I'm sure Father would say the same thing."

"Certainly. Sir Denier would've said the same."

"As a daughter, I can't bring shame upon him."

"Indeed."

Camel visibly lifted the corners of his mouth and laughed, as if he were praising her.

"Camel, do you have a knife?"

"Yes, I do. But why...?"

"Give it to me."

"Here it is."

Martha stared at the thin dagger Camel handed over for a while, then unsheathed it.

Whack!

Nodding with determination, she cut her ebony hair from the middle without hesitating.

"My... My lady!"

"It's fine. I'm parting with my idiotic and ugly self from before."

Martha smiled, letting the cut hair fly away with the wind. Her smile was shining like a snowflake.

"Huh..."

Camel gasped, since he hadn't expected that to happen.

"Please cancel the direct line training tomorrow morning."

"Pardon? It's not difficult to cancel it, but what are you planning to do..."

"I have somewhere to go."

Martha declared, entering the mansion.

Watching her back as she entered the mansion, Camel nodded kindly.

***

After finishing the daybreak training on the last day of the holidays, she immediately left her mansion.

Evading Camel and the maids, who were asking where she was going without even taking her breakfast, she went towards the annex building in the west alone.

It was pretty far away, but since the road was nicely paved, she could find it without any difficulty.

As she kept walking to the west, she could see a small house surrounded by a small garden.

'Does he live there?'

Martha furrowed her brows, as it was small and shabby compared to the structures in the main building.
