<span style="font-weight:400">After they had their breakfast, "I will go out and practice." Since he had eaten such a heavy meal, it was time to work it out of his system. Krystal nodded, "I will join you." Even she felt she should move her body.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Be careful out there." Violet reminded.
<span style="font-weight:400">Cedric sat there and sipped his coffee, "Don''t kill anyone out there. Especially you, Kid!"
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith couldn''t help but scoff at Cedric''s warning, "How could I possibly kill someone?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Are you really asking that?" Did he forget about what urred yesterday? He one-punched themander of the knights, and then he massacred the others. Monster; that was the only way to describe him.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith returned to his room and changed into his battle outwear. The two headed to the barracks. Before the two entered,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Come on! Did all of you be soft thesest few months?! You guys can''t even do such a simple task?!" A thunderous voice resounded the entire barracks! Keith looked at Krystal, who shook her head. The two headed in.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Young Miss!" Sterling''s stern expression quickly turned bright as he greeted them.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Good morning, Sterling."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hello. Are we disturbing your training?" A blood bath. Behind Sterling was a group of people who were in a push-up position. On top of their body was a giant boulder.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Isn''t this a little too much?" Krystal muttered. They looked like they were about to die.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Miss, you have to do something like this. These fools don''t have strong wills. We need to retrain all of them." The coup Rodrick pulled yesterday had been on everyone''s mind.
<span style="font-weight:400">Assassins were sent to end Violet''s lifete at night. However, Keith, Sterling, and Lnd put a stop to this. As ast-ditch effort, the count tried to pin it on them. That didn''t work at all since Violet knew what had urred!
<span style="font-weight:400">"How dare they follow after Dolus! At least they showed some loyalty at the end." Before the final battle between the two groups, some knights didn''t take Dolus''s side and stepped away. They didn''t want to go against the Grand Duchess.
<span style="font-weight:400">However, Sterling wasn''t going to give them any leeway. Retrain and make them understand who they should follow. That was something he needed to do.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t worry, Miss. I will train them to be loyal knights that will fight to the end."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." You do that.
<span style="font-weight:400">Sterling was themander of the knights. Well, he was fired months ago for punching Rodrick''s son. He was immediately reinstated as themander today.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Now go down!" Sterling shouted.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yes!" The knights shouted as their bodies went down. But they were agonizing screamsing out when they did.
<span style="font-weight:400">"That Dolus, how could he make our knights this weak?!" Sterling frowned.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ahh, what were you guys doing before?" Krystal whispered to a certain knight.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Um, Dolus really didn''t do anything. He was basically telling us to rest and do their own thing. It was bare minimum training." Lnd was the vicemander of the knights. With Sterling missing, he was the one who watched over the knights.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Lnd, you didn''t do a good job! How could you seed me when they''re like this!" Sterling roared. Originally, Lnd was supposed to seed Sterling if he retired.
<span style="font-weight:400">However, with Dolus following the interim head, Rodrick, Lnd was left as the vicemander.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Lnd scratched his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I need to retrain you as well!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I want 50ps around the estate!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Lnd''s expression dropped.
<span style="font-weight:400">"That goes for everyone as well!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?!" Do you know how big the estate is?! And we just finished holding that boulder! The knights couldn''t believe it. That devilish look Sterling had said otherwise. Without any hesitation, the knights quickly dashed out.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I guess I should go as well." Keith made his move. Krystal also followed after him. The primary purpose of theiring here was to move around.
<span style="font-weight:400">On the 20thp, all the knights were out of breath. The only ones who weren''t were Keith, Krystal, and Lnd. The three were going strong.
<span style="font-weight:400">"So weak! How could you guys run out of stamina?" Sterling scoffed at them.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." The knights wanted to cry; how were they supposed topete with that?
<span style="font-weight:400">"The princess has such amazing stamina!" After the 45thp, Lnd had to stop. But as he took deep breaths, he and the rest watched Krystal and Keith work.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Of course. The young miss has been working all day at the academy. Unlike you people."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Damn, I need to get back in shape. Dolus had really caused all of them to lose stamina.
<span style="font-weight:400">"The one you guys should be more surprised about is the young man," Sterling muttered.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"The young man''s stamina is better than our miss." Keith wasn''t out of breath as he ranpared to Krystal. He kept a consistent pace as well. Actually,
<span style="font-weight:400">He''s increasing it. It was slightly, but the man had been slowly increasing his speed.
<span style="font-weight:400">After the 50thp, Keith was still breathing from his nose while Krystal took deep breaths. Sterling nodded. The young miss seems to notice it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sir Sterling," Keith turned to themander.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Could you hand me a boulder?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"You want to do that? Can you handle the weight?" Those knights were buckling from them
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm, I should do some strength training."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Understood." Sterling turned to some knights, "Go get him a boulder."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Y-yes!"
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith got down in a push-up position. The knights returned with the giant boulder, "Are you sure we can put it on your back?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Go for it." Keith grinned. The knights did just that as they dropped the boulders.
<span style="font-weight:400">Thud! There was a loud sounding from putting on his back.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Are you okay, Keith?" Krystal questioned. Even she thought it was quite heavy. However,
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m doing good!" Keith eximed. It was heavy. However,
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s quite easy to move." Keith started to move his body up and down. Even with the boulder, he was able to do so.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." The knights were speechless. How are you not tired?
<span style="font-weight:400">Monster. Sterling couldn''t help but chuckle.
