Blazing Fire

"General Eloria?"

Being snapped out of her thoughts by the Fourth Prince's voice, Eloria Camer promptly looked at Rayan Varence who had a flustered look on his face.

"I apologize, Your Highness," she promptly said. "I wasn't expecting this and I was a bit surprised."

When Rayan Varence flashed a relieved smile, Eloria took the sword and unsheathed it.

The fine steel and even the features... everything about it could be considered the best. However, what caught Eloria's attention was not those. It was one carving on the lower part of the sword just above the hilt. When she observed the carving for a while, Rayan Varence understood what she was doing.

"It's a blazing fire," he said and explained, "I heard how people said that on the battlefield, you are like a fire which destroys everything that stands in its way. And I think it really suits you."
