The Personal Guard Captain of Duke Margaret, Pablo, served Rubio loyally for many years. Although Estalia is a relatively peaceful nation, seldom attacked by outside forces, the strength of this Personal Guard Captain should not be underestimated. The rapier in his hand turned into a snake, striking directly at Laine's face from below the side.
The duelists of Estalia have extensive experience with this. Generally speaking, when facing the sharp tip of a rapier, people instinctively fear it. When the tip nears someone's face, most people will instinctively retreat.
Pablo held a grudge in his heart. No matter how strong or reputable Laine was, standing before an armed Pablo without wearing any armor or using any weapon was a significant act of disdain!
At the very least, he wanted to force Laine into a fluster, and that would be enough!
"For Margaret! For Mirmidia!" The tip of the Personal Guard Captain's rapier was already closing in on Laine's face.
