Editing Talk:Seikoku no Ryuu Kishi: Volume 1 (section)

=== Part 4 ===
Silvia, who had ascended the stairs and arrived onto the makeshift stage, looked into the crowd of students that had assembled in the sports field.

As her eyes scanned the crowd, her blue pupils abruptly stopped after she spotted something. 

“...”

It was evident where Silvia was looking. She was, obviously, staring at Ash.

That day, Silvia had not withdrawn her words. If the other party had been a boy, at that time Ash would’ve clouted him. However, as expected, even if he wanted to, Ash couldn’t hit a girl. Moreover, she was a princess in the palace circle.

Instead, he had reluctantly came up with a proposition for her. 

— We will both participate in the race that's coming up in a few days. If I prove myself victorious you must take back the words you said!

Silvia, nonchalantly, had commented: “That would be fine” and agreed. 

That was the answer that Ash wanted. 

Silvia, eventually stopped staring at Ash, and opened her mouth.

An icy voice shook the atmosphere, reminding everyone of the winter that had just passed.

“You must try your best in any competition. That is my family’s motto - no less”

Silvia then descended quickly from the stage and, riding smartly on Lancelot, returned to the sports field.

After a few seconds of silence, only a sparse amount of applause arose from the sports field as everyone was taken aback by Silvia’s haughty attitude.

“What?”

“It's obvious that Lancelot is the outstanding one, not his owner.”

“I don't get what's so great about his master?”

“Wasn't the first paladin originally a knight of the Chevron Kingdom. In other words, only just a fortunate soldier, nothing more. Definitely not royal.”

“As expected of that brother’s sister”<ref> Chinese phrase that basically refers to the fact that brothers and sisters are the same ... something along the lines of that</ref> 

Ash nonchalantly glanced at a few same grade female students, who were murmuring quietly behind him. 

At first, Ash had taken no notice of their conversation, however:

“That brother’s sister.”

That part of sentence caught his attention. 

The ‘brother’ that the female students had said, obviously referred to Prince Julius. 

— Dragon Slayer Julius. 

Although he was the eldest son of the Knight family, he violated the biggest taboo. 

No one knew why he slew his dragon, as he was publicly executed for breaching the taboo before he could disclose his motive. 

To bring his name up at a festival... These girls were quite tactless. 

Even if he had shamed the Royal Knight Family, that was ten years ago. There really wasn’t any good in bringing up these old matters. 

"... She really doesn’t have an easy life.”

Ash, suddenly, began to sympathize a little for Silvia’s plight.
