————————————————————————–

Ellen Sera Tyler, also known as Knight Number Three, was an elite among the elites.

Her sword master was Liam, the successor of the School of One Flash, and the Banfield Family had provided her with the best environment for her growth as a knight.

Despite being of common birth, she had been able to enroll in kindergarten under Liam’s recommendation, eventually graduating from both the military academy and the imperial university, earning the qualification to become an imperial knight.

Upon joining the Imperial Army, she was assigned to a fleet commanded by Kura Sera Exner, a close friend of Liam, where she experienced numerous battles and earned several decorations for her service.

From an ordinary knight’s perspective, Ellen walked an ideal path filled with promotions and honor.

Appearance-wise, Ellen has blossomed into a fair lady, garnering praise from other ladies around her.

In a sense, she was a knight that had everything.

Despite being a commoner, Ellen was taken under the wing of Liam, who was an Earl at the time, and was granted the opportunity to become a knight.

Thereafter, she was bestowed the title of Knight Number Three as proof of her master’s trust and was entrusted with significant power and authority.

Now, she was both a knight and a general, and a fleet of 15,000 ships was to be prepared for her.

As someone that served Liam, who held tremendous power, Ellen had acquired strength equivalent to that of a distinguished aristocrat.

Ellen was not only a swordswoman of the School of One Flash but also a disciple of Liam. Moreover, she held the prestigious title of Knight Number Three.

Although she had a cute appearance, she was the subject of fear and awe among those around her.

“M-master, this is so embarrassing.”

“You’ve grown quite a bit.”

However, none of that mattered at the moment as she found herself hunched over in a hot spring, desperately trying to hide her sensitive parts.

Behind her was Liam, who was washing her hair.

Ellen’s face was bright red, and there were vivid scars on her body, a result of her training with Liam.

Her wounds had been smeared with a clear liquid which protected her from the stinging pain that she would’ve otherwise experienced when entering a bath.

Not a trace of lust could be found in Liam’s eyes as he faced her back, something which made her sulk.

“Master, I’m not a child anymore.”

“To me, you’ll always be a child. How nostalgic. You used to run around the hot spring naked. It feels like just yesterday.”

“P-please forget that.”

Ellen’s ears turned red as Liam recounted embarrassing stories of her childhood.

However, this only fueled Liam to continue talking about her embarrassing episodes.

“I remember scolding you once for swimming in the hot spring, but you were so stubborn and refused to stop. In the end, I had to carry you out.”

“—That did happen, didn’t it?”

Ellen’s cheeks twitched, and her eyes wandered, ashamed of her past self.

Liam laughed when he saw this.

“You used to ask, ‘If freestyle isn’t allowed, then how about breaststrokes?’”

‘Why was I so adamant about swimming in the hot spring?’

Ellen wanted nothing more than to lecture her past self, but there was nothing she could do about what had already happened.

“Please stop with the past events!”

“Oh? I thought you’ve matured a bit based on how you were behaving. Turns out you’ve only grown physically.”

“Master’s teasing me again! I was trying my best to show you how much I’ve grown.”

Sensing her frustration, Liam stopped poking fun at her and continued washing her hair.

Ellen enjoyed taking baths.

(Master’s still so particular when it comes to baths. Not that I hate it though.)

There existed devices that allowed people to wash their bodies in a matter of minutes.

Not only was it a cleaner method compared to taking baths, but it also saved time. Hence, bathing in a hot spring could be considered a hobby.

Liam had a fondness for bathing in hot springs, and as his disciple, Ellen frequently accompanied him during these baths.

To Ellen’s disappointment, Liam entered the hot spring after helping her wash her hair.

She believed she had grown into a fine woman, but her master still treated her like a child.

Picking up a bath towel nearby, Ellen wrapped her body with it before entering the hot spring as well.

(I guess I’m still a child in the eyes of Master…)

Ellen tried to initiate a conversation with Liam, who was looking up at the ceilings.

“Master.”

“Yeah?”

“It’s about Young Master Edward. Will Master be taking him in as a disciple?”

Liam turned to face Ellen.

“Why do you ask? Does it bother you?”

“Well, if Master does decide to take him in, he’ll be my first junior disciple.”

There used to be a time when she believed she alone would suffice as Liam’s disciple.

However, according to the rules of One Flash, those who had obtained a full license were obligated to take in three disciples, which meant Liam had to raise two more to fulfill his duties.

Besides, Ellen had received her license already, which meant it was time for her to become independent.

Liam seemed to contemplate for a moment before staring at Ellen and smiling.

“You’ve become full-fledged now. How about taking Edward in as your disciple?”

“Eh? B-but…”

Liam looked up at the ceilings again as he spoke.

“I’m too busy at the moment. If it’s judged that Edward lacks talent in the sword, I’ll give up on teaching him One Flash.”

“—Why don’t you consult with Master Yasushi? He should be capable of assessing someone’s aptitude for One Flash.”

Ellen mentioned Yasushi, whom she still had doubts about.

Liam put his right hand over his face.

“According to Master Yasushi, I’m supposed to use this opportunity to train my eyes to recognize talent. But to my surprise, I’ve realized that I’m quite biased towards my own child. That’s why I’ll be entrusting Edward to you.”

Liam had been unable to come to a decision on his own and instead opted to leave Edward in the care of his disciple, Ellen.

“Me? His Master?”

Ellen was at a loss as to what to do.
