Chapter 8: Her Brother’s Betrayal
That person had not been joking. Those words of his had all been serious, because she truly could not compare to him. He was a genius famous throughout the entire Empire. Even back in that remote countryside she called home, she had heard his name: Greg Sars.
Ever since coming to the main family, Eileen had finally gained a few interests and hobbies that a girl might have, because here, an older brother stood in front of her and blocked everyone’s gaze.
Everyone looked at him, while she only needed to do as he said and properly be his little tagalong.
Every time he completed a difficult challenge, the family would congratulate him, while Eileen would always stand behind him, watching that back of his grow taller and taller, feeling proud that she had such an older brother.
Еn um.а..і̂ ḋ
Those days should have continued until now, because he had promised her that he would inherit the House of Sars, while she only needed to be his tagalong.
But... in the end, he still broke his promise.

Because he willingly let himself fall, the halos around him vanished one after another. One year ago, he was even divided out from the main family.
And because of her brother’s betrayal, she suddenly had to bear everyone’s even heavier gazes on her back, completely unprepared.
After Greg Sars suffered expulsion for willingly degrading himself, Eileen Sars naturally became the next first heir of the ducal House of Sars.
Even though she herself had absolutely no such intention...

But the days without freedom from the past had returned after all. Now, everything she did would be crowned with the name of the ducal House of Sars.
“Are you thinking about Lord Greg?” The maid seemed to have guessed the reason for Eileen’s silence, so she asked.
“...”
Eileen remained silent and did not answer.

“Ever since Lord Greg left, I have still been paying attention to news about him on your behalf. But according to the final report I received before the academy vacation began, Lord Greg still does not seem to have made any changes.”
The maid spoke in a low voice, because in the current ducal family, Greg Sars himself was a taboo that could not be mentioned.

Eileen shook her head. “Sally, what are you talking about? I wasn’t thinking about that guy at all. I was only thinking about how, in another month, I will be heading to Orichalcum Academy to study.”
“It seems I misunderstood your thoughts, Lady Eileen. I am very sorry.” Sally bowed slightly.
“It’s nothing. There’s no need to apologize.” Eileen gestured indifferently. “From now on, you also don’t need to keep asking about that person’s news anymore, because I don’t care about him at all.”
“Yes, I understand. (It seems Lady Eileen’s private savings have run dry.)”
Eileen rose and looked through the window at the courtyard below. The neatly trimmed garden, the emerald-green lawn, and the fountain reflecting one another should have formed an incomparably beautiful scene, yet at this moment, Eileen only felt somewhat tired.

The first ray of morning sunlight pierced through the gaps in the dense forest and shone into its quiet depths. Two figures were swiftly weaving back and forth within it, and from time to time, the sound of metal collision rang out, with fierce sparks mixed in between.
BANG!!!
Amid a tremendous impact, both figures flew backward to either side. The white-haired elf exerted a slight force through her feet and stopped in place, while the other, a human youth, crashed into the tree behind him before being forced to a halt.
Luna glanced at the clothing torn at her shoulder, then raised the sword in her hand once more. “Your progress is obvious. Shall we go again?”
“Even if I cried and said I wanted to go home, Master, you’d still attack on your own like before, wouldn’t you?” Greg climbed up from the ground. Although the collision just now had been extremely powerful, there were no obvious wounds on his body.
After these two months, Greg had now been completely reborn. The lines of his face and muscles were sharply defined, full of artistry like an ancient Greek stone sculpture.

However, the greatest change was still his robust physique. Not only had Greg grown several centimeters taller, his originally soft and sagging body had gradually transformed into solid muscle groups. His shoulders were broad and his back wide, his chest clearly contoured, his biceps bulging, his abdomen flat and firm, with six-pack abs plainly visible.
If one pulled up the sleeves of his clothes, one would know that he was now a fine fellow whose arms were broad enough for horses to race across.

There was now no trace at all of the disgusting villain Greg Sars from the original work. Thanks to this, Greg could finally wash his face and comb his hair normally.
“Then, I’m coming.”
After speaking, Luna’s face bloomed with a smile so beautiful it left one shaken to the soul. Then she immediately charged toward Greg.
“Hey, hey! When we fight, can you put away that charm of yours that has nowhere to go? If I get distracted now, you might really cut me to death with one slash, all right! Could it be that you usually show this expression to bewitch your opponents and then kill them with one strike???”

Facing Luna’s opening attack, Greg reacted quickly and responded calmly. Relying on nimble footwork, he avoided most of the direct strikes while searching for a good chance to counterattack.
The sound of metal collisions rose one after another. Flashing blades and sword shadows interwove into a magnificent tableau.
Because both of them had used enhancement magic, every time the two blades touched, they produced an intense vibration, as if even the air itself were filled with the scent of battle.
Through the constant contact of their blades, Luna grew increasingly excited by her disciple’s astonishing talent. She decisively raised the frequency of her attacks, attempting to suppress him.

However, Greg did not show weakness either. Because he wanted to repay his master’s kindness, he instead seized the opportunity to display shocking resilience, resolving crises multiple times and attempting to turn the tables.
The fierce confrontation continued, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Just as both sides fell into a stalemate, Luna decided to adopt a more risky tactic. She pretended to make a mistake and exposed an opening, luring Greg into seizing the chance for a ferocious counterattack.
And Greg, whose experience was still shallow, naturally walked right into this trap.
At that moment, Luna swiftly counterattacked. Her longsword swept over with unstoppable force, instantly enveloping Greg within it.
The surrounding environment seemed to freeze, and time slowed to an extreme. At this critical moment, Greg’s violent magic power suddenly gathered onto his sword.
In the end, amid a shower of dazzling sparks, the two longswords collided heavily, then swiftly separated. Luna retreated a few steps before stopping, while Greg flew backward once again, just like before, only coming to a halt after crashing into a tree.
At that moment, the longswords in both their hands also shattered into pieces of iron and scattered across the grass.

Luna dropped the broken blade in her hand and nodded in satisfaction. “You did very well. With this, I can also part from you in peace.”
