I adopt the male lead

chapter 13

The Duke seemed calm now, but he was almost killed by that light not long ago. She wouldn’t be able to keep her composure. Karina even considered running away, but curiosity suppressed her instincts.

When the Duke opened his palm, the coral brooch that had been there disappeared. Instead, the spherical light that hit Karina was there. Karina instinctively backed away.

‘I want to see it closer.’

The sphere on the Duke’s hand got longer and longer and became one meter long.

“I gave you this kind of thing?”

Wilder murmured in astonishment.

The Duke was in no condition to answer. He quickly murmured a spell that Karina couldn’t understand and tried to subdue the mass of light.

Bang!

With a huge rupture, acrid smoke fell all over the place.

‘It’s magic!’

Karina looked at the Duke, which was seen through the smoke with her eyes wide open.

“…!”

Karina barely managed to swallow a spontaneous scream that came out of her mouth. Instead of a lump of light, the Duke held a giant sword in his hand she had never seen before.

The sun shone through the dark red day.

“Are you planning to blow up my store?”

When Wilder complained loudly, there were wrinkles between the Duke’s eyebrows.

“Are you doubting my ability?”

“Your Grace makes mistakes once or twice a year!”

“This year’s blunders are over.”

The Duke replied nonchalantly.

“No way…”

Wilder’s face stiffened.

“Yes, I tried the imbalance magic stone Mrs. Bloe found and failed. It destroyed the room entirely.”

“…Your Grace must have been trying to torture Count Python.”

“I repaired it with my own money.”

The Duke turned his sword around and bowed politely to Karina.

“Thank you for your help. If it weren’t for the lady, I would have burst the magic stone His Majesty the Emperor himself gave me. I’d like to do you a favor.”

Karina replied immediately.

“I want to know what this is all about.”

“Is that what the lady wants?”

The Duke asked in a surprised voice. Karina nodded her head. She didn’t want a favor.

In reality, she kind of wanted it, but more than that she wanted to know how this whole situation works.

“Yes.”

Karina replied sternly feeling that he wouldn’t give another alternative.

The Duke stared at her for a moment, then stared into the air as if he was preparing something to say.

The words that finally came out of his mouth completely exceeded Karina’s expectations.

“I’m a magic swordsman.”

Karina couldn’t help but be a little embarrassed. What does he mean by magic swordsman?

For a non-magician, he was well versed in magic. If it was something Karina had never heard of, it must have been a very rare class.
