Because he was already confused by the complicated relationship between the brother and sister, there was no mention of this in Lotte's diary.

The sound of swords clashing continued to ring out in the silent manor. Under normal circumstances, it would have attracted the attention of the butler and servants, but now no one could be seen.

This is also the reason why Lin En did not rush to use the overload mode or use magic again.

“Is it strange? My brother and father are not in the mansion tonight. All the servants have been led away by me. They only know that the devil believer wanted by the Holy See broke into the manor tonight…” Ivana was like a madman, and the blade of her sword kept slashing on Lin En’s sword like the wind, as if she wanted to vent all her accumulated resentment and unwillingness.

Lin En's expression was a little strange, because the devil believer wanted by the Vatican mentioned by the girl seemed to be himself...

Boom~ Just as the two were fighting, a sudden explosion sounded from a distance. Through the windowsill on the third floor, a faint glow of fire appeared on the west side of Harbor Town.

How could it be so fast?! Lin En's expression suddenly changed. It was clearly not the time to act yet. Could it be that the people from the [Ship Gang] could not hold back and took action first? "Where are you looking? My brother?"

Taking advantage of Lin En's distraction, Ivana made a spinning strike and knocked the sword out of his hand, and it was stuck straight into the crack of the wall.

Then the brown-haired girl raised her sword again and chopped it down from top to bottom!

“Die!”

Ivana muttered to herself, her dark golden eyes fixed on Lin En, but there was not a trace of fear on his face...

Why? Why aren't you afraid of death? The brown-haired girl showed a hint of hesitation and confusion on her face.

No matter how bad his attitude was over the years, the man in front of him would only look at him with an extremely pitying look.

But she never needed charity.

If she wants something, she will take it herself!

All kinds of thoughts flashed through the girl's mind, while Lin En, who felt threatened, had already stretched out his arm.

This moment seemed like a replica of the first battle.

But this time, no one spoke to stop him. With a sharp sound of wind, the slender sword blade had already reached Lin En's head! However, Lin En's movements were faster. He stretched out his right hand and grabbed Ivana's wrist holding the knife at a strange angle!

Then he twisted it hard, and a slight sound of dislocated hand bones suddenly echoed in the silent corridor.

Outside the window, the bright moonlight and the rising flames intertwined to form a devilish picture. Lin En took advantage of the situation and kicked Ivana in the abdomen.

Bang~ Accompanied by a dull impact sound, the girl's body leaned back and fell heavily on the wall.

How is that possible?

Ivana struggled to stand up again, a trace of blood slowly flowing from the corner of her mouth. She didn't care about the pain in her right wrist and abdomen. She looked at Lin En with disbelief.

I had already used all my strength, but I was knocked to the ground so easily.

Ivana found it hard to accept this fact, and rushed forward again with the sword in her still intact left hand.

“I’m sorry, but I’m short on time, Ivina…” Lynn dodged Ivina’s horizontal slash by leaning sideways, grabbed the thin blade with his backhand, and knocked the girl to the ground again with an elbow strike, and finally swung the blade towards the girl’s fair neck.

Ivana's pupils shrank slightly, and she could only watch the silver-white sword getting closer and closer to her, her mind going blank.

Thinking back to how she had tried her best, but in the end she had to risk everything to please the fate of a duke's son, she found it particularly ridiculous. Perhaps if she was freed from this, she would no longer feel pain, right? Ding~ The sound of the sword tip touching the floor rang in her ears. Ivana opened her eyes blankly and saw Lin En taking out a cowhide rope from behind and tying up her hands and feet.

"Aren't you going to kill me?" Ivana stared blankly at the brother in front of her who was familiar yet unfamiliar, and asked in confusion.

"There's no need to do this. You will never see me again after today... I think this should be to your liking." Lynn explained casually, dragging the rope originally prepared for Adrian and throwing Ivana into his room.

He is not the real Lotte, and he cannot handle such a complicated brother-sister relationship. But since Lotte is willing to end this cause and effect by committing suicide, Lin En naturally does not intend to interfere.

He also understood where Ivina's resentment came from. She tried hard but could not resist her predetermined fate. She was destined to become a victim of the Pedro family's revival since she was born.

However, the other party obviously chose the wrong target of resentment. What really made the two of them miserable was Baron Pedro's stubbornness and the ignorant feudal system of the Secas Empire...

Since she had been so smart as to transfer away the housekeeper and servants in the mansion, she should stay here and reflect on herself.

After tonight, everything about the Pedro family has nothing to do with him.

Lin En turned around and was about to leave when Ivana's voice rang out again behind him.

"Why, with such strength, you can't pass the knight test, and even the sparring with me..."

"Are you feeling sorry for me?" Ivana asked angrily, maintaining her remaining self-esteem.

“Too insignificant, Ivana…” Lynn turned his head and looked at the distraught girl lying on the ground, and said with emotion.

"You have a great talent for swordsmanship, much better than anyone I've ever seen, but your vision is limited to a small harbor town, a baronship that doesn't even allow you to inherit a territory."

"Outside the harbor town is Nordland, outside Nordland is the Sekas Empire, and outside the empire is a much wider world..."

Lin En whispered to himself, this world is filled with magic and divine arts, and there are countless secrets waiting to be explored.

“Forget it, you probably can’t understand.” Without waiting for Ivina’s reply, Lin En shook his head.

For most residents of this world, a town, a village, and a family are everything, and this matter has nothing to do with them.

Can't you understand? Ivana stared at Lin En's departing back with a complicated expression until the door was tightly closed.

The girl was silent for a while, then suddenly lowered her head, bit the leather rope that bound her hands, and tore it with all her might.

But this rope made of special materials is very tough, and teeth alone are of no use. While struggling, the girl's legs hit the table leg hard.

The black book on the table was shaken to the ground and rolled all the way to Ivina's side.

The brown-haired girl paused where she was. The words on the pages of the book were very sloppy, but Ivana recognized at a glance that it was the handwriting of her brother Lotte.
