The Test of the Queen [Part-2]
"Who taught you swordsmanship?"
The question made Videl pause.
For a brief moment she considered her answer carefully.
Should I say it…?
Victor had never hidden his abilities.
He had even taught openly in the academy.
So there was no reason to conceal it.
Videl lifted her head slightly.
"The one who taught me…"
She spoke calmly.
"…is my childhood friend."
Her voice softened slightly.
"And my partner."
"Victor."
Amara's eyebrows rose slightly.
"Your childhood friend?"
"And your partner?"
Her red eyes sharpened with curiosity.
"Does that mean…"
She leaned forward slightly.
"…the one who taught you swordsmanship…"
"…is the same age as you?"
"He is a year younger than me."
The words left Videl's lips calmly, but the moment they reached the throne, the atmosphere shifted.
Queen Amara's silver brows lifted slightly.
For the first time since the conversation began, genuine surprise flickered across her crimson eyes.
