The Demon King's Paladin Part 2. All Out War.

Chapter 530. Sarah's Battle Begins

                                                                    Ruby Flameskin's Point Of View

/ CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!/

" Hm? Well, look at you? You're not completely talentless like the last one!"

" I assure you; I'm nothing like the last one you've fought, or the ones before that."

/ Rumble!/

" Oh... Look at you, this dog has tricks... Though I guess since you're a woman I should be calling you a bit-"

/ THUMP! SWOOOSH! CRASH! BANG!/

" The only one that can call me out of name is My Husband, you idiotic elf."

Sarah had clashed her halberd against the elf's sword a few times, obviously looking to see what she could learn about his skills as a Swordsman. She began to release her mana as she readied herself to truly start the battle. The elf seemed to think that he was still in control, to the point where he was going to insult Sarah, Sarah quickly punched him in his jaw and sent him flying. Purple and black mana began to swarm around her as she calmly taunted the elf. It looks like Sarah is serious about ending this fight as soon as possible, not doubt so she could get back to John as quickly as possible. I quickly made my way behind her to drag the loose end out of the way.

" What the... But... I thought she was just a Princess?"

Lieutenant Tala muttered something as she was shocked to see what Sarah had done, I could see her trembling, I suppose it's from nearly dying? Looking down at her, I could see that she really didn't have any idea about what Sarah could do... Did she miss the news about her joining John and Anna and putting a stop the Hero of Promethia's invasion? Either way, as I dragged her out of the way, I couldn't help but say something... Maybe I was gloating about Sarah, who was my friend, someone I've watched grow stronger day in and day out. As well as helping me get stronger every day as well?

" You seem to have a mistaken impression about Lady Sarah, Lady Anna and of course, Lord Matthew. Lady Sarah and Lady Anna, day in and day out since they've arrived in Paradise have trained non-stop for hours a day. They didn't come here simply to offer Lord Matthew comfort on the road, they came to fight as proud warriors of Diablos. The same is true of Lord Matthew."

" But... That elf..."

" Hm? Yes, he has some Skill, but Sarah will defeat him."

" H... How do you have such faith? I've never run into an elf that had that level of swordsmanship?"

" Hm? Is that so? From what I saw, he didn't do anything too scary to you, he was just a good bit faster."

" Bu..."

" He also was able to push you back because of the inherent weakness of your whipping style. You should reapply yourself in your training after this. As for Sarah, there won't be such problems for her. She should be able to handle this elf quite quickly."

" You... You really trust them, don't you?"

" Hm? Of course I do. Lord Matthew has brought Miracles into not just my life, but everyone who lives in Paradise. Lady Sarah and Lady Anna continue to make me a better warrior every day. A few thousand elves are hardly an inconvenience for us."

The Lieutenant seemed surprised at my statement, but it was the truth. John was able to turn my hometown from a ghost town to one of the fastest growing cities in the country, we've gone from asking for handouts from our neighbors and the government to being begged to sign contracts with both. We've been brought so far, mostly from Lord Matthew's hard work as a statesman and businessman, but I know he frequently asks for Sarah and Anna's advice on certain things, like which products to introduce first and the like. They even took over certain things for John like the Beautification committee that he created not too long ago. Because of them leading it, the membership requests have skyrocketed, to the point where Ms. Victoria seemed concerned about being replaced. It was quite a hectic moment.
