Holy Sword Tournament Arc
---
(POV: Lumiere)
Seated right in front of me was Fanatio Pendragon, who was supposedly one of the top-notch sword maidens of the Shield Kingdom and participating in the oh-so-noble Holy Sword Festival.
Now, I'd heard of the Pendragon family name quite a few times, but since they had nada to do with the Cross Kingdom, I gave zero hoots about them.
Also, to ensure we didn't face any unforeseen issues, I had Umbra keep watch on Bluestella while Fulgur kept track of Arthur.
I wasn't sure whether to tell Arthur about what was going down, so I needed to play it smart for a bit longer.
Even though I had no tangible proof, getting the lowdown on Bluestella's sneaky schemes was absolutely crucial and I wasn't going to take any risks.
If only Nerbas didn't bite the stairs...
So, after wrapping up our registration, Fanatio and I decided to kick back and relax in a cozy little tavern before the preliminaries kicked off.
