Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

Mylene admired the greatness of her father as well. The stories and sagas that her father brought every time he returned from the battlefield.

The way her respected father bravely fought his enemies in his narration gradually woven the mind of a little girl to follow the path of her father—the path of becoming a courageous knight.

As early as five years old, Mylene had begun sharpening her sword with the guidance of her father. pursuing to achieve her dreams like every little child does.

Being the only child of the knightly family of Lavender, Mylene vigorously trained and honed her body and swordsmanship to prolong the chivalrousness and name of their family.

But not all stories ended happily.

One time, a letter was brought to the estate of the Lavender, delivering news that changed the life of the little Mylene. The letter contained confirmation of her father's heroic death in a confrontation with the demons.

It shattered her heart like a piece of fragile glass, and Mylene was devastated when she heard the news. She had lost her mother when she was only a year old, and her father did the same at ten.

She had lost all her motivation and thought her sword could not be used to protect someone important anymore.

The loss of both of her parents left her alone. Being just a baronet family, Mylene was too young and did not have any credits to inherit and manage the household.

Not long after, the Lavender family lost its power and vanished from the Imperial nobility. Mylene had already seen herself as apart from others, alone with no one else to share her feelings.

Later on, the orphan Mylene was adopted by her distant relatives, the wealthy Raeven family. There she met the daughter of the family, Claire Raeven, and the innocent heart of Mylene skipped a beat.

Mylene had noticed something was wrong with her thinking at an early age. a way of thinking that was entirely different from other girls her age. She discovered for herself that she liked a member of her gender.

Laying her purple gaze upon the same hue, she instantly found a new reason to live. That time she got her motivation back and sharpened her sword again to protect her new skin in contrast to her raven-black locks.

Though she had lost her family, Mylene got new inspiration to bring herself back. Along with the revival of the legacy of her renounced family, she had strengthened her resolve to conquer the heart of her first love.

She trained herself intensively and improved her swordplay to the point where she could stand a chance against Level 20, despite being at Level 1. She had been branded as a "sword genius" for mastering various sword techniques at such a young age.

Claire took heed of how fond and attached Mylene was to her; she could hear her saying she would become her knight in shining armor in times of need. Claire was amazed by her dedication and pushed her to improve herself as well.

She discovered that she had absurdly high proficiency in magic as Claire was improving her skills. At her young age and level, her magic is probably on par with or even surpassing the gifts of the gifted children of the Arcenciel family.

The two young girls formed their friendship together almost every day. Mylene and Claire worked hard while correcting the flaws and imperfections of one another.

The time they happily spent together gradually strengthened the attachment they had created. The two eventually formed a dream to explore the world together.

Mylene was a genius in blades, with a little competence in magic. With her newfound powers, Claire was certain they could protect each other's backs.

When she reached the age of thirteen, Mylene finally got the courage to express her feelings.

"I love you, Claire."

"I already know, Mylene." She smiled. "You are too obvious."

"Really?"

"Really. So you love me? Not Brother?"

"I do really love you, Claire. You are beautiful, kind, and caring. You are the first person to beat my heart. And I don't have any feelings for Steville since my heart has been fully attracted to women."

"…"

"Though I am not as normal as you think, I will love you forever and ever. I want to know what you think of me, Claire."

Smooch.

Claire pulled Mylene closer to give her response.

"How was it?"

"Claire… I am glad… very, very glad…"

Mylene was on the verge of tears once her first love's lips touched hers for the first time. She once again pressed her lips against Claire's to seal their love.

The two have been in a romantic relationship since then. Though they hid it from Claire's parents' knowledge since they were very strict with her. Only Steville knew about their relationship.

Their bond strengthens as they spend their time together. So close that their simple embraces turned to physical intimacy.

Not long after, they registered themselves in the guild and started exploring the dungeon to see the results of their efforts.

Their other reason was to give power to their own bodies. They thought that no matter how talented you are, it would be pointless if you didn't have the power to execute it.

Mylene and Claire ventured together at the Imperial Dungeon for a time. They both earned mountains of achievements with their absurd firepower and teamwork.

They became famous and popular for the feats that they had done. Their contributions to the guild promote their ranks, and they are hailed as the youngest adventurers to reach S-rank at the ages of fifteen and sixteen.

As the time passed, Mylene eventually realized she had missed something that greatly affected her relationship with Claire.
