Episode 11. Candidate for the Next Emperor (6)

“How do you plan on dueling?”

“It’s a 3v3 battle. Nominate three people there as well.”

Daejangjeon was a one-on-one confrontation in which the winner continued to fight.

“I’ll ask you in advance. What is the level of those kids you said were your disciples?”

I guess you don’t believe that you’re stronger than me. It’s true.

“For now, all three are B-class adventurers.”

“Class B…… ? After making such an offer, are you only offering a B-class?”

“…… I’ve heard a lot of rumors about the Todia family’s military level. Even the knights you have are on par with the Imperial Knights right now, so there must be many competent ones.”

From noble mtl dot com

Isn’t there an S-class adventurer, Ella, in the Todia family right now?

I said it in a disrespectful way, but there was no doubt that the Todia family was the most powerful family in the empire.

“It would be better not to ignore it because it is B-class.”

“Even my knights will not be able to win at the B-level level.”

“The level of an adventurer is only an indicator. It’s not absolute.”

“But nothing is as objective as that.”

“Then I promise you here. No matter who you bring in, these guys will not win.”

The warriors are already equal to or superior to the S class. As long as you are not vigilant, you will never lose.

“Ha, your confidence is sky-high! Ella!”

“Ah… Yes, Dad.”

Ella gave a bewildered answer to the sudden call.

“Get ready. I’ve been installing it until now, but no one pointed it out, so it seems like I’m going to have a good time. I’ll fix my brain at this point.”

Since you’re not fighting me, do you think there’s a possibility?

Rather, because I fell in, the possibility of winning even a little disappeared, but I don’t know if you know.

“Who are the other two going to be?”

“Me and Acher Todia will step out.”

Are you a 6th tier wizard and an A-class adventurer close to S-class?

It won’t be easy, but I thought it would be worth trying.

“Dad, are you really going to do it?”

Ella looks at me.

She was hesitant about whose side to take.

She seemed to be contemplating whether she was from the family that raised her or the me she likes.

Normally, it would be correct for her to choose a family without the slightest hesitation, but seeing that she is contemplating between her family and me, she must have been sincere when she asked for a relationship on the premise of marriage.

“The pride of our family depends on it. Prause forever, I can’t let that bastard’s arrogance pierce the sky. These guys learn humility only when they are trampled on.”

That’s too much. Even if you don’t step on it, you know humility.

Again, I am a corpse without humility. Really.

“Hey! Go and bring Acher Todia.”

“Okay!”

The knights gave me an answer and glanced sideways at me. Then, when our eyes met, she shrank and hurriedly left the drawing room.

He seemed to be intimidated by his life a while ago.

“Keep your promises. Show allegiance to the Empire if I win this match. Of course, you will have to revise all of your accents and use honorific titles.”

“I will do that.”

I nodded obediently.

* * *

“My engagement is at stake?”

A man with the same light blue hair as Ella.

He was such a handsome man that he swept women everywhere he went. The masculine beauty felt in his appearance was highlighting his charm.

His name is Acher Todia.

He was the second son of the Todia family.

His current position is an A-class adventurer, but he was not pushed back even after fighting Ella Todia.

“Yes.”

“Why… why not… ….”

He tried to argue with Glair if she was dumbfounded by the sudden development of the story. However.

“Ask that cheeky bastard.”

Glare shifted the blame to me.

I also wanted to ignore it, but I was the one who brought up the breakup, so it was right that I was responsible.

“You… It’s Prause. I heard that you are a ruthless commoner who treats nobles with disrespect.”

That’s not wrong……. Do you usually say that in front of the person in question? A high-ranking person can do anything, right?

Or is it because I have a modern mind that is too egalitarian?

Anyway, there’s nothing good about building a bad image, so let’s be kind.

‘I don’t have anything to say even if I’m called that because I’ve done something, but I never meant to say that.’

“So what? Even if I say I’m not cheap, my tone won’t change.”

Yes. I knew it wouldn’t work either.

I am curious again. Who the hell is doing the translation?

Now I was beyond sighing and admiring how he could say so much that he only hated me.

“hahahaha, this person is really bold. Even if you try to respect it, it’s not worth it. I never thought the day would come when I would hear this from commoners in my life.”

“You have a long tongue.”

My words come with strides.

Before fighting in earnest in martial arts, they look at each other and face each other as if they were stance. The man’s face is burdensome.

“If you didn’t have the strength to kill a black dragon, I would have killed you myself.”

…… If you put it differently, doesn’t that mean you were scared of me?

“So what did you do to break up the engagement?”

“If I win this sparring match, he told me to break off the engagement. Glare Todia accepted it.”

“What? Really, Father?”

“They said they were trying to cancel the engagement of Princess Se-Ri in order to make her emperor.”

“What?”

Acher sneered loudly after hearing what Glayer said. He raises one corner of his mouth and sneers openly.

“Do you think the princess will be crowned emperor now?”

“Do it. Because I am.”

“You speak arrogantly well. If that was possible, anyone would have become emperor.”

I’m sorry, but if the princess really didn’t have a chance, I wouldn’t have done this.

If Princess Se-ri was an idiot, she would rather set up Prince Chris as the emperor and make her proposal to free her other races from her slavery.

“Dad, why did you accept such a stupid offer?”

“I had no choice but to accept it.”

“Yes?”

If Glair hadn’t accepted it, she would have gone to the crown prince, and the crown prince would have accepted it without hesitation.

The fact that she didn’t doubt those words was proof that Glair had a proper understanding of her crown prince’s personality.

“She decided that it would be right for her to sort things out on my own, rather than causing trouble to Her Highness.”

“What the hell are you talking about… …. What did Prausu say he would do for you if he won this sparring?”

“They say they are loyal to the Empire. Of course, be polite.”

“I can roughly understand the situation. It’s certainly capable enough to kill a black dragon, so His Highness the Crown Prince wouldn’t mind it. I don’t know if you know that such a short learner is loyal.”

“Yes.”

What is that? In that case, you have to deny it.

Even though I look like this, learning isn’t short? That he went to university

“Even so, I would like to accept the proposal to break up the engagement without saying anything to me. Father.”

“You don’t have to lose. If we don’t lose, we can protect our pride, and we can force Prause to be loyal.”

“However, Prause is capable of killing a black dragon by herself. Can we win?”

“It’s okay. Our opponents are his disciples.”

“Disciples?”

At the word ‘disciples’, the three warriors intervened between me and Acher.

“Please step away. Master is uncomfortable.”

Iris pushes him away. Taking a step back helplessly, he frowned.

“What is this again? You want to fight these guys?”

Acher said, roughly brushing off the area where Iris’ hand touched. Then, Tina points at Acher and turns to me.

“What is this again? To fight a weakling like this?”

“…… ?”

The sudden parody of Tina raised a question mark above everyone present.

“It sounds like it, really.”

Tina smiles her eyes at the end of those words.

“Oh… It’s quite a provocation.”

Maria praises.

“Not bad. Doesn’t that look too cheeky?”

Iris was concerned.

“It’s okay. Masters do this too. If you count jjangjjang, it’s your status, it’s nabal, and you don’t need it all.”

No. Absolutely not.

I couldn’t help it because of my facial expression management skills.

But not because of any force majeure, Tina was able to speak and express her emotions as she pleased.

Even so, intentionally speaking badly had to be seen as worse quality.

If you do this wrong, home training drip will come out?

“Is this kid crazy…… !”

“Stop!”

Glare stops.

“Enough of the small talk, let’s go to the arena. It’s never too late to have a conversation after a fight. Now, the longer the words are, the more ugly they become.”

Thanks to his step forward, the quarrel that seemed likely to take place in the drawing room came to an end.

As expected, is it different if someone with a high level of talk like this does it?

* * *

“Father, do you really have to fight a kid like this?”

“I won’t be weak. I don’t know about the other kids, but that elf… The amount of magic power is unusual.”

“… I know that.”

I looked at the three men and knights who were far away, then looked at the warriors who were stretching.

“Tina.”

“Yes.”

“Go and get the head start.”

“Preemption? How?”

I whispered in Tina’s ear. Then she said “Ohhhhh!” While doing so, she spat out an interesting exclamation.

He said he would understand, and strode up to the arena. On Todia’s side, Acher was on the rise.

The other side seemed to be thinking of sending Acher out first.

“Although it is a sparring with real swords, you must not inflict lethal casualties on each other, and you must obey my words in any case. Do you know?”

The referee in the center briefly explains the rules.

“Yes.”

“Not like that.”

After hearing the answer, the knight referee raised his hand.

“Then… start!”

“Ah, it’s really not right to fight a guy like this—”

Sureung—!

From noble mtl dot com

As the referee lowers her hand, Tina draws her sword and sprints towards Aker.

Acher reacted to Tina’s movements. She strains her hand to draw the sword quickly.

But already she clenched her fists in front of her aker.

Puck!

As Tina’s fist strikes the end of the half-drawn sword handle, Acher’s sword slides back into its scabbard.

“What!”

Taking advantage of that gap, Tina swings her sword. The blade stopped around his neck.

“Have you already died once?”

Tina, who spoke provocatively, laughed meanly, took a pause, and opened her mouth again.

“This f*cker.”

…… Didn’t I ever tell you to say f*ck yourself?

Where did you learn that word?
