Now that I am up to date, I don't rlly understand why Charlize isn't hiding her swordsmanship skill. If she shows that she's talented, wouldn't the emperor make her a sword again? But she literally showed off her skill during the duel sp the 9th prince or many of the knights that watched start rumors that she was a great swordwoman. Plus, when she won the competition, couldn't the emperor secretly abduct her to be the sword since she literally showed she was the best at swordsmanship? Does he need to get permission from her 1st or something? Bcs he did ask her to be his sword in the competition but she declined.
