The day of the duel finally arrived.
The week of practice with the Pegasus was really hard.
It's like riding a motorcycle that only accelerates, but never brakes.
Really scary.
We had been left practicing at the academy training ground where the duel was to be.
The strange thing is that it won't take place there.
The reason is because of these rumors I was told.
"Hey, did you hear that the third prince and the fourth prince will have a duel?"
"Yes. Is that really true, I mean. A feud between members of the imperial family?"
"It was all over Duke Rosenberg's daughter.I heard rumors that her family fell into ruin and that her fiancé, His Highness Regulux, wanted to undo their engagement, but the fourth prince intervened along with some nobody guy."
"Hey, that sounds interesting, I want to see that duel!"
That was how rumors about the duel were spreading throughout the capital.
Neither the a
Razel's resolve to save Elize increases after meeting her sensual mother... I mean!!! After learning of her circumstances.
Once we arrived, we went straight to change. We were wearing tight cycling clothes, the reason for that was because it was more comfortable when moving around. Cid's suit was black with blue lines while mine was white with black lines. I don't understand why, but I feel annoyed for some reason. Our Pegasus were ready, we were just waiting for the order of who would go first of us. "Huh, I'll go first?" "Yeah." Cid's bastard was using me as cannon fodder it seems, as he said to me. "Razel, I suggest you go out to fight before me, not only in the first round, the other two as well." "Why should I be the one to carry all the weight on me!!!" Cid gave me a cold stare. "Really?" He said, then revealed to me. "...Listen, you know we're going to fight against a prince and his friends, right?" "Yes." "Well, think about this for a second. Who's the most dangerous of them al
Pleven Household is no different from other houses. That is what the future head, that is me, Oscar, knows better than anyone else. Like all noble families, we started out as a house of knights. After completing the 100 years of service required to become barons. When we became nobles, our family was the worst of all at using the sword or martial arts. But one day, the current head of that time discovered that he had a talent for magic. Thanks to that, Pleven Household managed to rise in a few years to be a house of counts. We needed to have more connections, so we became vassals of the imperial family. We became a house of marquises because of that. We swore to serve the imperial family and were granted a place in the seats of the holy wizards. But thanks to my grandfather, our house became one of the most renowned and important. For that reason, when I was a child, I was invited to a birthday party. It was Pri
I, Bellange, am the heir to the Fraser Household. A house of earls of the frontier. Our family gained prestige since we were a house of viscounts, but one day my grandfather did an incredible feat and we were promoted to earls. Unfortunately, my grandfather passed away and it was my old man who received that title. He always made me follow this principle. "If you are not the strongest, then you are nobody." With those words I was raised to be very strong. My skin got tanned and my hair got darker for some reason. One day, in a nobleman's house, I was studying in something called elementary school. One of my playmates was none other than Prince Regulux. I fought him plain and simple since he was a prince. I thought he was just another weakling until he threw down his weapon and said to me. "Can you take me seriously? I know you are strong, but this is very disappointing. Don't treat me like a frag
Razel sat down at his resting place. It was Cid's turn. Cid's horse was one specially made just for him. For he was the fourth prince. It was blue, had two horns; one under the other and was named Mordred. He watched Lambert bowing to Regulux. He couldn't hear what they were saying, but he could imagine they were talking. "Your Highness, I apologize greatly for those incompetents. I will win, you can rest assured." "Thank you Lam, try not to hurt Cidfert too much." "Understood." Lambert's steed was a beautiful gray one, it was special like Cid's as it was also built exclusively for its owner. On the side could be seen his name, Lancelot. Razel touched Cid's shoulder. "Hey, are you okay?" "Yeah. Just thinking." "About what?" Cid's mind remembered things from his childhood, related to Lambert. ◇◇◇ Cid knew Lambert a little after he joined the imperial
In the imperial palace, Prince Blake was seated. "Is that all?" He was being briefed on the secret and criminal acts of the Iscariot family. To make his day even more bitter, many members of his faction were corrupt. That bothered him greatly. "I'm afraid it does. Those involved have erased evidence of what they have done. It's very difficult to trace them." "I understand..." It was well past noon and Blake was in a bad mood, then he remembered one thing. "Right. Do you know what became of the duel between Lux and Cid?" "..." "What's with that face?" "Your Highness.... don't tell me you didn't hear about it? It was a big scandal what happened." "What are you talking about?" Blake was very confused and intrigued about what he says. "Tell me what happened while I was resting for that headache." The man's mouth was moving, and Blake's face was contorted in horror at w
Regulux smiled with an expression of victory. He activated a magic attack of the game, star rain. That attack was a level 11 attack. It was very weak in the game, but in reality, it was a very strong attack. The dust cloud kept coming out. It wasn't moving at all. "Even if my orion whip didn't hit you. You're too much of an idiot to fall for that weak attack." "Lambert can dodge it with no problem. I trained with him a lot. He's my right-hand man for a reason. Anyway, easiest win in the world." Regulux turned to leave, but at that moment, a small nugget covered in electricity flew straight to his cheek. Blood was spurting out. Turning around, he watched as a shadow came into view. It was Razel. He had a bit of dust and blood on him, but he was intact on his steed. In fact, that's the strange thing. The attack was too fast, even if he activated his Hawkeye, at least one or two hits
The situation became really bad. First of all, I lost to the bastard prince. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, a game event happens. A huge creature resembling a giant armadillo appeared. It was called Xerxes in the game. That's because the color of its carapace is white. Its skin is a mixture of brown and gold. He is perhaps a thousand meters tall and two thousand meters wide. It was the favorite pet of the last demon king. In the game it was never explained how it came to the empire. What I did know was that this thing was a really difficult problem to defeat. I expected the protagonist and the capture targets to take care of it. But... the shit I'm seeing right now doesn't make me happy at all! What the hell are you doing here! How did you get to the empire before the four years' time skip? Have you always been here?! Damn it! How can I defe
When I was training with Amy my magic power, I accidentally discovered a book. That book had strange symbols, it was written in the language of the elves. She read it and said there was something very interesting for me. It was called [Astral Equipment]. This equipment is something like materializing a ghost weapon. It requires a lot of concentration. So for a whole year I was practicing it. At first, I couldn't hold it and it faded away. But thanks to my inner peace. I was able to learn it without any problems. In my right hand a black-edged sword like night was showing itself. Its handle was similar to that of a Japanese katana. But the western style sword. Small electric sparks were running through the sword. I christened it. Gram. In honor of the last good game I played before I died. It was a sword that measured the same as a person's leg almost two meters tall.
