Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance:Volume3 Prologue
Prologue
3 years ago, at the Blade Dance match venue.
"My grand daughter, look closely at Velsaria's Blade Dance, sooner or later you will also serve and carry the Empire's dignity on your back and will be fighting in the Blade Dance matches."
"Yes, grandfather."
Towards the old aged grandfather's — Duke Fahrengart's — words, the little girl nodded and replied with a dignified voice.
She had auburn colored pupils blessed with strong light and beautiful eyebrows that were sharply angled.
Her mesmerizing blue hair was tied in a ponytail.
She was a lovely girl that anyone would turn around to look at, but there was absolutely no coquetry or sweetness in her facial expression.
She had an atmosphere like the edge of a blade that could slice one with just a touch.
Ellis Fahrengart.
Her talent as a Spirit Contractor was revealed since childhood, and it had been determined that starting from next spring, she would attend Areishia Spirit Academy, the only Spirit Contractor training institute in Ordesia Empire.
She was an elite cadet of the Empire's Spirit Knights with a promising future.
Ellis leaned forward from her seat and looked down at the arena right below.
Her soft breasts touching and rubbing on the iron fence, her recent worries was that compared to the other girls at the same age, her breast growth was abnormal.
"Really.....Having big breasts just makes sword swinging hard, it's just a nuisance".
Regarding this topic, the girls around her was completely jealous. For Ellis, she had totally no interest regarding love affairs. To her, having huge breasts was simply an obstruction.
"......Something like love is stupid, I will become a Knight just like my step-sister, a splendid Knight."
Ellis strongly closed her fist, at that moment.
A loud cheer broke out in the arena.
From the West gate, the Ordesia Empire's representative Spirit Contractor was entering.
A refined gathering of stars shone in her beautiful rondo hair.
Delicately sculpted carvings decorated her silver armor.
Clothed in a red cloak, a conquest-like appearance, just like a general returning victoriously.
Versaria Eva Fahrengart.
She came from a lower noble family that had declined because of the Ranbaru war. Thanks to the promises of her talent as a Spirit Contractor, she was adopted into the Fahrengart house, and became Ellis's two years older step-sister.
Even though she was a freshman from the Areishia Spirit Academy, she was chosen from among all the elite Spirit Contractors from all nations, as a representative at the the Blade Dance Festival. That a freshman was chosen as the Blade Dance Representative was a precedence previously unheard of in the long tradition of Areishia Spirit Academy.
And in such a step-sister, was Elis's ideal image of a knight stacked together; and she respected her from her depths of her heart.
She advanced headed towards the middle of the stage. Then, at door on the east side, the opponent Spirit Contractor appeared.
Having long black hair that extended to her hips, an exotic clothed person with a large gap between her trousers.
Although having youthful features, she was so beautiful that even Elis, despite being of the same gender, was taken back.
In her hands lay, contrary to her lovely appearance, a wicked-looking darkness-colored sword.
"Grandfather, who is that girl?"
"Ren Ashbell, an independent Spirit Contractor."
"Independent........not belonging to any country or organization. Is that what you're implying?"
"Yeah. Apparently it seems there was a powerful person's influence. It also seems that her age is the same as you 13 years old."
"......."
Elis bit her lips. Although having the same age, the fact that the girl was participating in the Blade Dance, was very regretful.
And then, the match start bell was rang.
