The blanket is very soft, but it is short and cannot cover the spring scenery in the gaps.

As you walk, your flesh glows, and under the thin blanket, your graceful curves and the luster of your skin are faintly visible.

Ms. Wenda put her good skills to use in daily life. She arched her feet slightly and made no sound when her toes touched the ground. She walked lightly behind Mr. Titus who was writing at his desk.

As if mischievously, she placed her graceful and graceful chin on Titus's strong right shoulder from behind, and her hair naturally drooped, brushing his neck playfully.

Titus felt an itch on the side of his neck and felt a mass of pressure on his back. He calmly stopped writing and packed up his things.

The corners of Wenda's lips raised slightly, outlining a smile that didn't know whether it was true or false. He asked with a hint of jealousy in his tone, "Which lover are you writing to again? You wrote it so late----"

Titus Hearing this, he quickly put away the letter he was about to write and turned to look at the woman behind him.

His eyes were full of smiles and he replied softly, "Why are you so anxious? When did I hide it from you? You will naturally know when we return to Starpike in three days."

As he spoke, he turned around and faced her face to face.

Ms. Wenda seemed dissatisfied with his cover-up, and seemed angry that Mr. Earl actually left her to sleep alone. She snorted softly and flicked the orange blanket that could not cover her plump upper body.

Spring appears.

Before the temporary nightgown fell, the captain of the guard moved as nimble as a leopard, spread his long legs and straddled Earl's legs.

When the orange-gold "nightgown" fell, it happened to cover the bodies of the two people who were in perfect harmony and intimate. They both let out a happy sigh at the same time.

The night is still very long.

Starlight quietly filtered in through the gap in the top corner of the camp, reflecting on the bodies of the two soldiers.

Both of them are highly skilled and very aggressive.

You said something, and I said something, but I didn't know what was wrong, and they started fighting again.

A hearty hand-to-hand fighting competition began again. In the fierce collision, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu occasionally used twisting techniques, and fierce but delicate body entanglements and counterattacks were indispensable.

Both sides of the battle are full of fighting spirit, and their desire to defeat their opponents seems to be particularly strong.

So I was very competitive and fought with each other at high speed. You came and I went back and forth without giving in at all----

This may be the "two people go together" in the military camp.

Three days later?

No.

Two years have passed by in a blink of an eye.

In the two years after the "Pass War" ended, Dornish Marches ushered in a brief period of peace--of course, excluding Red Mountains, which was still very lively due to the "Red Headhunting Order".

The time has come for "Aegon's Conquest Calendar" two hundred and eighty-seven years (287AC).

In the Qingbai Square in front of Starpike.

Two majestic stone statues stand side by side.

Sir "Shieldbreaker" Urrathon·Peake, who was about to become the "professional referee" here, and Sir "Siegebreaker" Blaquay·Peake, resumed their old profession, staring silently at the center of the square with their cold stone eyes.

They were "watching" a less intense sword fight.

In the square, a black figure was attacking fiercely with a sword, and the sharp sound of metal collision sounded from time to time.

It was a fully armed and brave knight, wearing heavy black armor. On the front of the armor was a flying crow, with a blood-red heart clutched under its claws - this was the coat of arms of Vale House Corbray.

This person traveled south from Vale and came to Dornish Marches, just to pass the challenge and get back the inherited sword-"Lady Forlorn" that was "lost" on the battlefield by the younger generation of the family.

During the Trident battle, Linn Corbray had his family sword taken away in public due to his misbehavior. The nearby Canyon Knights were all witnesses.

After he recovered from his hand injury and returned to Heart's Home, he relayed the sword-snatcher's request to his old father, who was on both sides of the subject:

When you House Corbray have a knight whose ability and honor are worthy of this sword, come to Starpike and ask me for it----

It has been almost three years. This is the first time that Corbray of Heart's Home has sent someone over to ask for the clan sword - I don't know if he has confidence in the candidate he sent, or because he thinks he has passed the limelight and wants to do some testing?

However, the level of the challenger is indeed not weak, at least the attack is very fierce.

The figure who was dueling with him was even more unusual, actually looking very relaxed.

This man did not wear any armor, only a leather armor. Faced with the continuous attacks of the black-armored knights, he could easily dodge with an extremely calm attitude and strike back with his sword from time to time.

In Qingbai Square, the one who has such martial arts skills is naturally Titus·Peake who is famous in the border area, the southern border - and even the entire Seven Kingdoms.

He is the current custodian of "Lady Forlorn".

Even facing the House Corbray side knight who calls himself "the strongest swordsman currently Heart's Home", Titus can still cope with it with ease. He even has the leisure to talk from time to time, turning this sword duel into a lively outdoor "swordsmanship class".

"----Pay attention to his probing steps and the outer palm of his sword-holding hand. His center of gravity is depressed and there are signs of leaning to the right. When he sees that my posture is casual and my back and shoulders are straight, he will most likely attack my left side."

"His sword moves are not slow to connect, but when doing diagonal chops, his wrists are seriously overextended, and he has a habit of slight pauses. Based on the skills he is showing now, it shouldn't be a technical problem."

"He may have just been injured near the radial tubercle of his wrist, which will affect his flexibility when slashing and turning. In a situation like this, when he returns the sword with his backhand, you can increase the force of the attack, which can increase the strength of the opponent----"

Titus's voice was clear and steady, his tone was neither urgent nor slow, and every sentence pointed to the point. He was not talking to his opponents, but to the two teenagers who were watching the battle below the stone statue.

While he easily dealt with the opponent's sudden attack, he also carefully explained and introduced the opponent's attack logic, preferred attack mode, and minor habits exposed in the fight to the teenagers.

Even the targeted response methods and key points that need to be paid attention to are dismantled and broken down one by one, and the sword skills are taught without reservation.

A unique teaching battle.

The two young men who were watching and listening in were both knight attendants of Titus.

Among them, the blond-haired one has just turned thirteen this year. His height has grown dramatically in the past two years, and his figure has become stronger. He is Titus's former bartender, Evenfall Hall Earl's son, "The Boy Who Lived" Gardon Tars.

He is now considered to be a junior high school student.

The other boy was two years older than Gardon. He had a pair of unique blue-purple eyes and thick silver hair. The half-long hair was separated by a strand of black hair. His appearance was somewhat exotic like that of Valyrians, and he was also taller.

The tall boy's appearance can be considered handsome, but because of his aquiline nose and high cheekbones, he looks a bit sinister and lacks the youthful look of Caledon.

He is the House Dayne branch that Ashara took the initiative to send Starpike, and the successor of the High Hermitage knight, Jero Dayne.

The two young men have completely different personalities, one is cold and the other is hot.

When we first got along, the communication between the two parties was always inconsistent and full of gaps.

Because his father died young, Jero developed a harsh and stoic temperament since childhood. At first, he regarded Galdon as a "competitor" around Black Earl and was wary of it.

But Gardon's open-minded personality was like the warm sun, gradually melting the ice on Jero's surface, causing him to slowly let down his guard.

Later, Jero was completely led astray by Gardon and became one of the famous "prank duo" in Starpike.

Well, it's an extremely classic hot-blooded comic configuration of "a passionate and cheerful male protagonist" and a "bitter, bitter and resentful male supporting character".

What is extremely interesting is that most of the time, Gerald Dayne did not participate in any actual prank "actions", but he always took the blame together with his little friend Gardon Tarth.

As time went by, the cold-blooded young man's style could no longer be maintained, and he gradually turned into a comic character in the farce of Caribbean.

In this regard, Titus doesn't bother to care about them, as long as Caledon doesn't paint the giant statues of the "Hokages" of the past generations----

Titus is not surprised by how naughty this boy is. As early as in his hometown Tarth, Galdon had proven it with his own life.

After coming to Starpike, this guy has not been honest for two years and started to relapse into his old ways.

However, he had received military-like education from coaches Bowen and Robinson, and he knew that certain people in the fort should not be offended and certain things should not be messed up.

Otherwise, "Quickshooter" Billy, the captain of the guard responsible for the security of the castle, would not let Galdon go and let him do whatever he wanted.

At this moment.

Facing the not-so-exciting showdown in the square - but in a sense quite exciting, the two teenagers had different reactions.

Gardon seemed particularly excited and excited. His hands were clenched into fists and his eyes were closely watching the offensive and defensive movements of the two men, for fear of missing any detail.

Jero looked much calmer, with a slight frown on his face, thoughtfully digesting Titus's pre-battle explanation, but deep in his eyes, there was also a strong color of admiration.

It is the ardent yearning to be strong and become strong.

After this "teaching battle" lasted for about two moments, the "first swordsman of the Corbray family" from Heart's Home gradually became unbalanced, lost his position, and his offensive became chaotic, and the teaching effect was greatly reduced.

On the one hand, he felt uncomfortable and ashamed that he had become Titus's teaching "tool".

On the other hand, the unfathomable strength of Black Earl also frightened him.

What the other party casually told the attendants on the side not only accurately described his thoughts when drawing the sword, including the changes in his thoughts, but also pointed out many fighting habits that he himself was not aware of.

The challenger from Heart's Home was shocked.

This feeling of being completely seen through was very uncomfortable, and it made his fighting moves even more confusing.

Of course he didn't want to have to go home before even seeing "Lady Forlorn".

But the "teaching" in front of him, as well as the black Earl's words, all told him a cold fact:

He is indeed not qualified to take back the Corbray clan sword from black Earl.
