Chapter 858 – Hero’s Gaze Prelude to the Finals.
“I’m sorry. The party waited for you. Excuse me.”
Pushing the back of Ixia, who kept glancing at the man with a slight red face, Lena moved away from him.
The man stretched out his hand, groaned and withdrew it.
His face was full of regret.
“…This is what it means to be ‘blacked out’…”
The attendants didn’t know what to do.
I never thought there would be a woman who would refuse this man’s invitation.
“…If we can meet again next time, it must be true fate, right?”
He looked at Lena’s back with a ecstatic look, then turned his back.
“Okay. I’ll have to work harder.”
The harder you work, the stronger you become.
If you make a ‘grade’ in this competition, your grandmother will praise you, and you might be noticed by that woman and get attention.
At that thought, the man walked with all his might, while making a shy face.
“Aslon-nim… There is an aide of the 9th prince nearby. You might catch the pod with this incident…”
An attendant rushed over, but he waved his hand as if he was okay.
“Leave it alone. I don’t care what rumors spread.”
***
“Huh?”
While looking at the list, there was one guy that stood out.
First of all, he is handsome.
It’s a kitz class.
Is my enemy
Seed bee.
[Ugh.]
[Whew.]
These bastards…?!?!
A pathetic sigh at the sight of me?!
Anyway, being handsome is not important.
First of all, he is the prince of the Suruta Empire.
In addition, if you look at the characteristics of the Grise family, it is said that the succession rank is very high.
The most important thing is age.
“16 years old…?”
Can I participate in the tournament…?
Although it is premature to judge one’s ability by age. Is he a prince?
Isn’t it a body that goes crazy when it gets hurt?
Leo looked at my reaction and opened his mouth.
“Athlon Sruta. The son of the princess born to Empress Skaldia. That is, the grandson.”
“Huh…”
That damn year. Did you have grandchildren who couldn’t even pay for their age and looked young on the outside?
[The empress’s inner evaluation has gone to hell.]
[What can I do if Scaldia made a mistake? If you twist it, you should give it a try.]
[…?]
[? What. Those eyes.]
[No… I wonder where that cool and strong Goddess from a few days ago is gone and there’s an idiot who spits out vulgar words… Sukkakakkak aaaaa!]
[Don’t talk to others. For darkness.]
That’s what I mean when you know it’s right.
“Apart from the succession ranking, he is also the person I am keeping my eye on the most among the dozens of royalty.”
Whether you watch or not, I don’t care.
With that in mind, he was silent, but Leo ignored him and continued.
“The reason is his prospects.”
“Future?”
“Yes. I think he will one day become as strong as Kitz-sama or Dre-sama.”
I don’t know, but it’s Kyosu Kaitsu wearing the mask of a handsome man with eight mental systems…?
Is this kid crazy?
When he put his heart into it, Leor shrugged his shoulders.
“Of course, this is the story before seeing Dre-sama and Kitz-sama who are fighting against the current kaiju.”
Even so…” Leo continued.
“It doesn’t change to have great talent.”
“Umm… Haha. That level of genius is why he was able to participate in the fighting tournament despite his status as a prince, right?”
Then, the prince of the Calzabog Empire and the prince of the Suruta Empire. Are you both in competition?
…
What is this, regular participants are scared and stretch out their hands.
“I’ll make sure you don’t have anything to worry about… Whoa.”
Leo frowned.
“I hate this situation, so the follow-up participants. Even those related to the imperial family opposed it, but Gald himself…”
“…”
“…I didn’t mean to discredit the Hart family.”
“Yes.”
I felt that Leo was just spitting it out involuntarily because he was mad at Gald.
“Still, it’ll be a spectacle. If there’s even a picture of the two princes facing each other, you’ll explode your interest, right?”
“Even if it’s not, there’s a lot of talk. Since it’s a tournament that’s broadcast all over the world, there’s a lot of betting on who will win.”
No bracket has been set yet, but they are fast people.
Usually the organizers would appreciate this kind of attention… But at least we, not me.
The hero’s gaze was originally opened to test whether I was qualified to succeed Fryunar, and now it has changed to revitalize the Love Yarte family.
I don’t really want to be famous…
As I mentioned earlier, there are many people who would be familiar with the game by name, such as the warriors participating as invited players.
Interest is bound to explode.
If this is done well, the existing contestants will be buried by subsequent contestants…?
Leo wasn’t just against it.
I said while stroking my chin.
“I’ll have to talk to Mr. Gald.”
“Would you please?”
Indeed.
The reason I showed you this list was because I wanted to learn everything, but I also wanted to say something to Gald.
“It moves right away.”
“Ah. One more.”
Leo called me.
“You said earlier that it was a quarrel between the princes, but now Serth’s situation is a bit complicated.”
“Complicated?”
“A total of 23 princes have entered Sers.”
“…”
…Why?
In fact, does Sersu become Suruta’s hometown?
Or are the princes all interested in fighting competitions?
Leor explained to my sad expression.
“Do you know how many years Empress Skaldia has been reigning at her pinnacle?”
“Well.”
“246 years.”
“…”
That female year.
I also have a lust for power.
“In those years, Suruta’s throne has not changed even once.”
But nobody could say anything.
A person who has reached the pinnacle of qi and mana that cannot even be poisoned. Sword Saint.
Her merits in getting rid of her foreign enemies and defending the country were too great.
And after ruling for several hundred years, the structure of the whole country was optimized for Scaldia, giving it great power.
Absolute monarch. The term absolute power is appropriate.
“Still, people are beings who never give up hope.”
Even 200 years ago, there was once an heir to the throne, whether or not Scaldia was willing to hand over her position as emperor.
It is not known whether the current heirs will really inherit the throne, but they are said to have built up their own preparations and forces.
Even if he can’t inherit the throne, he wants to solidify his second place position.
“And it seems that the hero’s gaze this time is a ‘signal’ for the Empress to choose her successor.”
“Sign?”
“Yes. This tournament is a place where people who can be called representatives of the current world gather. It’s worth coming just to see the Prunar Academy.”
“…”
Me. I often forget, but they were only the best kids from all over the world.
If you look at the cheers on the gossip these days, you can only see them as normal kids…
“She must have seen the connections she could build, and above all, the Empress, who hadn’t stepped out of the Empire, suddenly came to Serth.”
“…”
He came to Sers for purely personal reasons.
“I don’t know what her actual intentions may be, but the heirs to the throne seem to attach great importance to her actions. Her intentions are arbitrarily interpreted and now, so to speak, they are competing for influence.”
It is said that a competition was held to see who would achieve greater fame in The Sers.
Scaldia isn’t correcting the misunderstanding either.
But. Rather, she said that the number of spectators had increased, and she seemed to like it.
“Thanks to that, His Majesty complained.”
That bastard king even sent a rescue signal to Leor with whom he was not on good terms…
That must have been pretty humiliating.
It’s a bit tempting, but… I think I can hear Queen Eniris’s sigh.
The other day, he sent a text message to Smado first, and I’ll visit him soon to ease his worries.
Then the feeling won’t go up!!
The thought of meeting the queen full of maternal love made her suddenly excited.
After this, go on a date with Lena downtown.
Later in the evening, I have combat training with Mayal, and I have work and sex with Amr. Rena and Rope-chan hugged and rolled around, then received a pillow from Almiraj on her lap…
Good.
I set a routine for the day.
I smiled happily and grabbed the doorknob, and at that moment, Leo said.
“Ellie. Please take me there.”
“Yes.”
“…”
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Ellie.
The platinum-haired woman, who bowed her waist respectfully at 90 degrees, looked so pretty that she couldn’t breathe for a moment.
I’m tingling I glared at Leo.
Are you waiting for someone to leave it to me?
Leor, who glances at me while acting different
…It’s not like he just wants to scratch my temper.
As Leo himself mentioned before, there are certain restrictions on the Gryze family.
Could Ellie be able to tell more information than Leo?
What exactly is the god of Gryze, who was said to have changed recently, and why did he change?
And what do you want from me
I thought a little and said.
“Follow me.”
“Thank you.”
Ellie bowed politely again.
It is polite as if it were painted in a real painting.
“D-Dre-sama! Where are you going?!”
“?”
When I turned my head at the beeping voice, I saw a human as expected. Remy was there.
He must have stayed with the Hart family, but at some point, I thought he disappeared, but he returned to Grize.
“Dre-sama…!! I’ll wait on you too…!”
Her face is as desperate as crying.
“Yes. Please.”
It seemed painful to be at home, so I allowed it.
Ellie looked at Remy and she put on a slightly stern face, but when I allowed her to, she lowered her head and she backed away.
You’re calm…
I’ll go to the Heart family first and talk to Gald.
He’s Gold’s father, so it’s hard to say, and he’ll have to go through adjustments.
“Come with me, both of you.”
“All right.”
“Yes!! I will follow you wherever you go…!!”
You don’t have to follow me anywhere…
On the way back to the Hart family, I looked through the list.
Among them, I looked at Aslon’s information that I had seen before.
However, there was one phrase that bothered me that I hadn’t seen before.
…The manager of the Knights of the Torch?
Templar name. Where do you think you’ve heard the name?
***
“What?!?!? The prince was ignored by the commoners?!?!”
Quaang!!
The leader of the Knights of the Sacred Tree hit the table with his fist.
The table was almost crumbled by the Platinum-class knight’s careless punches.
The maid who posted the report trembled with her hands together.
“Keugh…!”
The leader controlled his anger.
‘The prince is the one who takes care of his people.’
Even if he doesn’t spare it, if he thinks he’s his own, he’ll take care of it.
The attendants are all the prince’s people.
I can’t write because I’m scared because I’m angry.
Even from the point of view of power, it was wise, and the leader personally respected Prince Aslon very much.
‘Enthiaer people. These cheeky bastards…!’
Such a small country, if Suruta set his mind to it, he could swallow it at any time.
You are respecting it because it is a long tradition and historic place, but you are being so arrogant?
In the midst of the apprentice attendants being beaten, the leader, who was full of heat, said.
“Did you check their impressions?”
“Yes. Here you are.”
The attendants all knew how to use simple magic.
Basically, what you learn is record magic.
It is a magic that shoots a target and sends the screen as mana.
Seeing the girls painted with mana appearing on the palms, the captain widened his eyes and called the wizard to copy the faces.
And he summoned the Torch Knights.
“Find these women quickly. Secretly, without anyone knowing. Got it?”
Like that.
The leader of the Knights of the Sacred Tree ignited the beginning of a big mistake.
