Rebirth Of The Duke's Daughter

Chapter 127

Mila started her journey once more as she reached Rustmount. Looking to see how it was still the same with its fine weaponry and materials. "What's a young lady like yourself traveling alone for?" The blacksmith looked at Mila, who was having her sword refurbished after such a long time of no use in it. Rustmount did not have the best places to be since it was mainly used for the ores and materials that were constantly used for trading for products.

"I'm currently looking for a few long-lost comrades." Mila figured that she needed to find her comrades if she wanted to gather more power and help when she reached Mireraweth palace. It had been a long time since she last saw all of her friends who lived with her back in the Mireraweth Kingdom, where she still had a mansion while her father was a duke.

"Well, Rustmount isn't known for a good place to hang out. It's a lot of heavy work, and men usually work here only." The blacksmith did not want Mila to just start having any negative or bad thoughts about Rustmount since it was likely boring, but there were many good people in this town. This town did not have much, but overall, it was the safest town out of the rest since it resided along with the mines, which was the only place to work. "Women here do not have much of a job but to stitch clothes and farm a bit.

'I know. That's why I came to Rustmount. This place always needs men who can work and carry materials.' Mila had her sword finished with Vivian following after her, knowing that her comrades would come to a place like this.

[Mila, don't you sense anything off.] Vivian said, seeing that there were unknown figures following her. [It does not seem safe.] Vivian was worriedly hoping that Mila had an idea of how to get out if they were trapped somewhere.

"Don't worry. I know there are people following me. Don't interfere." Mila said, smiling as she went into a dead-end alleyway with no escape to any side. Seeing three hidden figures, she smirked, taking out her sword with the three men fighting her with the same movements as before. Seeing their swords aim at her from all sides, she jumped up, kicking one somewhere in the face while the other two took out one of her daggers that was held close to one's neck while her sword was on the other's neck. "It's been a long time." Mila smiled as the one who was kicked in the face got up, holding his bleeding nose.

"Lady Mila truly has improved over time." He smiled with Mila putting her weapons back into the sheath. Pulling out her handkerchief, she laid it on his nose to stop the blood from going on.

"You all are also doing well. I didn't think you all would challenge me again after all these years." Mila giggled, seeing how the three of them were doing well since they were the main knights who would constantly spar with her. They were, after all, her loyal knights that stood beside her and her family... most of them. "Where is everyone?" She looked at the three of them, questioning in her head if most did not make it out that time.

"They are all fine and well, but what brings the young lady here?" He looked to see how their young lady was in the town where women would usually not come to.

They were curious to know since they usually wouldn't know what was on her mind from the beginning besides knowing that she always thought of a way to overcome them in a battle or spar. Mila was one of a kind, men would compete just to have her hand in marriage since most women do not know swordsmanship and only depend on their mana if they had any.

"I'm here because there may be another war that can break out." Mila didn't know if it was possible, but the possibility of another war was at high risk if one were to investigate the current case involving the mana hunters who were collecting mana.

"How do you know?"

"Will it be soon?"

"There is still a chance to avoid it, but this war will be between those with natural-born mana and those who have stolen mana." Mila looked to them since she knew they were all naturally born with mana.
