Chương 30: Request and Reasons

"Father, I would like your permission to learn swordsmanship," Aurora replied unhurriedly. 

"Swordsmanship?" Duke White arched his eyebrows. 

While there were some women knights, but it was not very common. At least, among the nobilities, there were only a few noble women who would learn swordsmanship and become a knight.

The rest of them would learn women's arts properly just like what Aurora had been learning over the years. After all, there was no need for them to learn swordsmanship like men as many of them didn't even have the talent for it. 

"Yes." Aurora took a deep breath. "I think it'll be necessary for me to stay strong as there will be a lot of things I have to learn. There are many places I need to travel in the future and it would be good for me to have some means of protection."

Duke White didn't immediately agree. 

"There are already a lot of knights around you, Aurora."
