"If you want to defeat your enemies, you must learn a thing or two about the sword," Ronaldo said as they entered her room.

"This again?" Evelynn Rosetta rolled her eyes. She found a book that she placed on top of her table and started turning its pages. "You know how good I am with magic. A swordsman wouldn't stand a chance against me."

"Just one technique," Ronaldo persisted. "It'll strengthen your body."

Evelynn turned towards him, her lips curving into a seductive smile. "And if I do that, do I get a reward?"

"Naturally, your body will become stronger," Ronaldo replied.

"I meant a chance to fight against you," Evelynn clarified.

He frowned. "How could you always think about hurting me?"

"I only wanted to see if I'm stronger," she countered.
