Chapter 72
“……Greetings, Grand Duke.”
“Ah, uh. It’s been a while.”
To look at each other with admiration (to look at each other with admiration)……

I was expecting to see him six years after the end of the sword festival, so I was expecting to see a lot of growth, but…….

A proud confidence.
Elegance in a cheerful yet serious expression.
Hanya thought of all sorts of descriptions, but when she looked at the Grand Duke with his shaggy hair, she could only stifle her surprise.
His height, his sharp jawline, and his eyes that were still so confident.
Looking at the Grand Duke, dressed in a plain robe with the Southern Palace’s mark of fresh blue across the front, Hanya coughed uncontrollably.
He had become a completely different person.
She had come to the Shandong branch because of the Second Duke’s instructions, but she also wanted to see him. She wanted to know what he was doing with the rest of his time after destroying the Green Forest on the Shandong front before the seven years had even passed.
I can’t help but think that the bandits wouldn’t have dared to question him. Furthermore, the Grand Duke and the Sword King were said to have excelled in the conflict with Huang Bosei.

“……I’m doing well, thanks to your concern. Oh, no, he is.”
The Grand Duke smiled at the stammering Hanya and turned to the side. Another young man approached and held out a teacup.
