Chapter 414 – Tournament
“What? Sir Sarah…?”
Prince Anvil frowned and looked back.
As soon as she returned to her seat, Lily immediately told Sarah about Camelot’s infidelity.
She even told the story of how she imprisoned Seojun for 15 days and what tricks she had planned to get him eliminated from the tournament.
It was something I could say because it was Lily and no one else.
Because she is the most important person to Prince Anvil.
He, who had been treated as a child without a son, caught the eye of the Golden Ball, and it was a real prize to win the succession he had longed for and to solidify his relationship with his fiancé.
So, no one else would know, but Young master had to listen to Lily’s words.
If you go too far, you may end up in a situation that you can’t handle later.
If she, who had become her stepmother through her harsh words, monopolized the Golden Ball’s affection, her right to succession, which she had won at the very best, might be taken away.
Because I knew very well how effective pillow head sanding was.
“···Lord Sarah. “I’ll have to explain in detail.”
Prince Anvil lowered his voice and spoke quietly.
Of course, Young master never trusted Lily’s story.
Serah Camelot was a guard knight who had been by Young master’ side for nearly ten years, and in some ways, he was like family to her.
Young master was sure that she could not have disobeyed his orders.
“Sorry. I trained Sir Seo Jun so harshly – I think the rumor was wrong.”
As expected, Serah Camelot lowered her head like a sword and spouted her lies without even putting saliva on her mouth.
Lily clenched her fists. Young master was about to say something, but he raised his hand and dismissed it.
“Is it so? Well, I didn’t have high expectations anyway. Since the Knights of Dawn are participating, it will definitely be difficult to win. That said, I don’t want to just ignore Lady Bessie’s anxiety…”
Young master took off his ceremonial sword from his belt and held it out to the old knight, Sir Hoffman.
“Take this to Sir Seojun. “Once I receive the title officially from my father, I will do whatever it takes to make Lord Seo Jun a knight, so I will tell him not to be too disappointed.”
“···I understand!”
Sir Hoffman raised his salute with a hardened expression upon hearing his lord’s quiet voice.
Lily, who was watching him leave from a distance, quickly grabbed Young master’s sleeve.
“Oh, Young master…? Is this the end?”
“Why? “What else do you have to say?”
Prince Anvil smiled softly, but a cold atmosphere was felt behind the smile.
From Young master’s point of view, he just felt that Lily was telling a useless story because she was worried about her lover.
He probably didn’t like the idea of causing trouble between himself and the guard knights.
Lily, who read such expressions, quietly let go of the prince’s sleeve and shook her head.
“Oh, no…”
“Then that’s a relief. Ah, I guess the game is about to start.”
I couldn’t even bring up her story about Monica.
The back of her neck tingled. Lily tried to ignore the female knight’s stinging gaze.
I just hope that Seojun wins and that her older sister returns safely.
There was nothing else she could do other than that.
“`
Clap-
The pudgy girl with her long mustache grabs the attention of the waiting room by clapping her hands and whistling her whistle.
“Come on, everyone is participating in the first match! The weapons are bow and arrow! You cannot use any other weapons! “If the red dye on the tip of the arrow instead of the arrowhead gets on your body, you will be eliminated!”
The pudgy boy’s words continued for a long time after that.
They also talked about what measures would be taken in case of excessive violence or casualties, but Seojun just snored while lying down on three chairs.
Rumbling-
The bell to signal the start of the match rang, and the contestants who had been warming up went out one by one to the competition venue with a burning desire to win.
“Driver? Sir!”
The pudgy boy woke Seojun by tapping his forearm.
Seojun, who was covering his face with a thick cloth as an eye patch, slowly sat up.
As she was yawning and picking her ears, the little boy clapped his hands and urged her.
“The game is about to begin, driver! “You should hurry up and get ready!”
He raised his body fully, raised his hands high, and stretched them out.
My tired body is relieved, and I feel a bit drowsy.
Seojun walked towards the competition venue with his eight-legged steps, as if he were going out for a drink in the mountains behind the neighborhood.
As soon as I passed the large arch-shaped iron door, the door slammed shut behind me.
A jousting venue with a flat dirt floor.
When the wind blew, clouds of dust rose.
The contestants standing around the round competition hall are riding on horseback and glaring at Seojun, who has not yet mounted his horse.
“Oh, come on, let’s get on the horse.”
The stable keeper, Talmoin, hesitated and handed the reins of the spotted horse, Charles, to Seojun.
I took the reins, stepped on the stirrups, and jumped up onto the saddle.
The pommel of the ceremonial sword that was just given to me flashes on my belt and reflects light in all directions.
Who would say that it is not the golden Balthazar? Even though it was for ceremonial purposes, it was a famous sword made by a skilled craftsman by constantly hammering out high-purity steel.
However, because the handle was wrapped with a gold string and the pommel was studded with large jewels, it had the disadvantage of being unnecessarily flashy and causing the weight to be tilted backwards.
The fact that a noble gave his sword like this was consistent with his intention to fully support you.
But for Seojun, there was something more important than a sword.
It was about whether the guy called the Knight of Dawn would participate.
Other than that guy, there won’t be any major variables.
I glanced to the other side and saw the Knight of Dawn’s horse stamping her feet, purring in frustration.
Fortunately, there were no knights of dawn there.
Maybe Monica has a good hold on him. Seojun scratched his chin, wondering if he even gave me a pussy.
When the time came, the pudgy boy who was in charge of the ceremony put the string on his bow and aimed it towards the sky.
And then there was a protest.
Beepeeeee-
Hyosi cut through the sky, making an ear-piercing noise, and at the same time, everyone in the venue swung their reins, took out their bows, and fired arrows at the strings.
Since the Knight of Dawn did not participate, he was voluntarily eliminated -.
Seojun smiled leisurely and said, Wow! He spurred on.
“`
“It’s truly amazing, amazing… “Isn’t this really going to win the championship?”
These were the words that Prince Anvil muttered inadvertently as he stood up from his seat.
“···Congratulations. My lord. I think you will achieve what you wish.”
Serah Camelot, who was standing behind Young master’ back, answered, chewed her teeth, and then tried to make a smiling face again.
Things got really complicated.
Ha Seo-jun, that guy – his skills were much more outstanding than I thought.
I never want to praise him in front of my lord, but what can the truth do?
The guy broke through every game with all his might.
From the first race, he showed off his extraordinary horseback riding skills.
He would bend his back while riding his horse to shoot arrows, and he would also hang on the side of his horse to avoid flying arrows.
In a match that lasted until half of the more than 40 participants fell, that guy Ha Seo-jun knocked out as many as 10 people by himself.
The next game was even more spectacular.
Twenty people rode horses until there were ten people and threw blunt-tipped javelins, and if all 10 spears ran out, or they fell from their horses, they lost.
A considerable number of checks were thrown at Seojun, who was obviously a strong candidate for the championship, but Seojun showed off all kinds of skills to avoid the attacks.
Because of that, there were people who targeted the horse – he was even able to throw it away with a spear.
So now only eight people remain in the spacious venue.
Five of them were knights, two were squires, and only one was a mercenary, Seojun.
Now the third game.
It was a joust that boasted history and tradition.
The method was to advance to the tournament until only one person remained.
“Big…!”
The stocky presenter who stood on the podium cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and then began to scream.
“Sleep, sleep! The long-awaited joust that you have been waiting for! The first order…! The second son of the Lancel family! Lord Faust, the Lily Knight…”
The first author to appear was Faust Lancel. He was a man called the Lily Knight.
“Wow…!”
“Win, Faust!”
“Kyaah Ahhh!”
“I love you, knight!”
As he shakes off his sweat-soaked hair and waves his hand with a cool smile, cheers erupt from the audience.
Most of them were the voices of bitches.
Why is this person called the Lily Knight? He was called the Lily Knight because his smile was as neat as a lily flower.
Sera didn’t like that guy that much either.
Why don’t good-looking guys know that they’re good-looking? He was a guy who played as dirty as he could – how much he revealed to women. It is said that unless there are two or more women, one does not even go up to the bed.
However, the person who was even more annoying than that guy was Ha Seo-jun – that guy.
“That opponent…! Yongbyeong, a gold plate that came from a small town in the far west…! Boneless haaaaa!”
A shout so loud that it was deafening poured out.
That was natural.
That guy showed off fancy tricks throughout the game as if the venue were a circus.
Because he was a commoner, he was the perfect target for the huge crowd of spectators to cheer, and the biggest reason was that the Lily Knight was so handsome that he looked wilted.
That’s why the women’s cheers for the Lily Knight were smaller than usual.
The bitches standing in the stands would flip over their tits or say, “Oppa, take me!” And shouting – it wasn’t much of a fuss.
In fact, Serra felt even worse because this match was the same as the finals.
The Lily Knight was of a higher rank than the other knights, and he was mentioned as a strong candidate for the championship until there was talk of the Knight of Dawn competing.
It would be nice if the Lily Knight could defeat that guy, but for some reason, it didn’t seem like things were going the way I wanted.
“···Hmm? What are those again?”
But suddenly, someone in the VIP room pointed to a corner of the venue.
A woman suddenly jumps over the fence and enters the venue.
She was a woman with messy blonde hair and a light off-white dress, and her entire belly was stained with red dye.
The woman was staggering and running towards her somewhere.
No matter how many times she rolled on the floor and hit her butt, she barely crawled forward. It seemed as if she was running away.
The appearance was somehow bizarre.
And someone was chasing that woman.
Although her appearance was a mess, her masculine appearance, with her hair and beard slicked back with oil, was very familiar to her audience.
“Is that man – Lord Philimond?”
“···The Knight of Dawn is finally here?”
The Knight of Dawn, who had been voluntarily eliminated because he did not appear in the previous game, appeared at the competition venue.
In the middle of the competition hall, where the horse’s hooves have already pulverized the place, and now only eight contestants remain -.
Between Seojun and the Lily Knight, who were just waiting for their arrival on their respective horses, a man and a woman gradually approached.
Most of the audience was confused by the sudden situation.
Suddenly, Lily Bessie, the false Baroness who was sitting next to Prince Anville, jumped up and shouted:
“Hey, Monica…?”
At that moment, because he had his back turned to those who entered the venue, the host, who did not notice them, gave up his first protest.
Beep-
The horse flew across the blue sky, and the two horses that were facing each other with wide eyes began to run towards each other.
