"Delphire?"
"Mr. Brand, do you think that Lord Marsha always looks after those who are pure and just?" asked the Countess gently with a faint sigh, her question almost inaudible.
Brand paused momentarily, but by then, the Earl of Yan Castle, Delphire, had already stood up under the watchful eyes of everyone. She wore the emblem of her family's glory—a crest of a broken sword—on her chest. As Brand looked at this emblem, a sudden memory struck him. A rumor about the most mysterious family in this kingdom, and his expression changed, but the Countess had already addressed Princess Griffine at a distance: "The Guardian Sword Family greets the King of Erune, Princess. Three months ago... the throne of the Lion Heart Sword shattered, and it's time for the kingdom to choose a new master..."
As Delphire spoke, her body couldn't help but tremble. She was Griffine's best friend, but she knew that by saying this, she was hurting her.
