Synopsis

The chapter begins with an assassin launching a surprise attack on the lady. Ghislain's escort, initially dismissive, is forced to acknowledge his strength as Ghislain engages in a fierce battle. Ghislain's unconventional swordsmanship, seemingly learned through real combat rather than formal training, allows him to hold his own against a stronger opponent. The chapter ends with the opponent noting the difficulty of their fight and Ghislain's unexpected prowess.
