Chapter 166: Elydir (part 3)

The guards of the nobles placed their hands on my shoulder as they tried to restrain me in dark iron chains, but Egret motioned her hand to stop them.

The countess smiled in my direction as she pulled out her own sword, unlike Cecil Ophen's long sword which the hilt has some jewelry encrusted on it and a design that screams "I'm just for decoration". Her sword is a gladius, with no extra designs, just a regular gladius, but the steel of said sword emanates a dangerous aura as if they crafted it using the fang of a dragon.
