章 239: Saving the Queen 5

Three days had passed since that memorable morning shared with Aria and Elena. Life resumed its usual rhythm, with my daily training sessions progressing steadily.

Despite still falling short of defeating my instructor in pure swordsmanship, I found solace in the fact that I managed to land a few hits this time around—a significant improvement from my previous dismal performance.

These small victories bolstered my confidence, making each training session more enjoyable.

What made it even better was the addition of Elena, Aria, and Louise to the training sessions.

While they didn't partake in swordsmanship like me, they joined in group combat exercises.

It seemed that the church had plans to incorporate them into my party once I received permission to depart from the holy kingdom.

Although I technically didn't need their permission to leave, I appreciated their efforts in training me and providing the resources needed to prepare for my journey.
