Desire

Earl Galpagos.

Chosen as the Great Warrior is one of Earl Kundra's escort knights. What was his name, and he was mumbling something about him.

“A glorious duel...”

In a flash.

Walk forward, close the distance quickly, stick your left fist in your chest, and twist your body over your fist. An honest punch. No facade. He just closed the streets and punched where he could see.

It was time to mention the problem. It was too soon. It was impossible to respond. I pulled out my sword, but I didn't have time to swing. No defense, no evasion. I've never hit a sandbag, but I'm sure it feels like this. If I become a sandbag.

“Be... be...”

An unfinished word leaked from my lips. Your pronunciation was terrible. Your teeth were shattered. It wasn't just the teeth that were smashed. Tuck. And the shock hits the brain. The knight's eyes turned white. My mind was also white.

The floating body falls to the ground. Azin looks down at you with his thrown fist. I didn't kill him. I didn't have to kill him, but killing him doesn't bother me. I merely cry out that my trembling body is barely alive. Ajin turns his eyes away.

Everyone's eyes were startled and they were staring at him. What was particularly frightening was Earl Kundra. The defeat was anticipated. I was willing to accept it with humility. You can defend your honor just by responding to a duel.

But defeat is too fast.

“Do more? ”

Azin smiled and asked. Earl Kundra glances at the fallen knight, puffing his lips. A well-known knight. He was a knight from another territory, but Earl Kundra paid good money to escort him. I have been a duel warrior many times in the past, but I have never been defeated.

A knight like that strikes.

“The rule of duel is either admit defeat, or die... or you. ”

Inability to fight.

“What do I do in this case? I didn't kill him... I didn't even hear he lost. Oh, sorry. I'm ignorant of the laws of Gracia. I don't know the rules about fighting.” Ajin approaches the fallen knight. “Now, hold on!” Earl Kundra's voice is worse than mine.

“Stop... stop. Because the results are already clear.”

“Oh, right. I'm sorry. As I said, I don't know much about the laws of Gracia. In this case, he used a Great Warrior, not a duel of knights and knights... It's okay for Earl Kundra to admit defeat. ”

Azin smiles and looks at Earl Kundra.

“Then I won the duel. So let's go back to the beginning. Why I challenged you to a duel, about him. I am an escort knight for the Emperor Hermione, and you have insulted my Emperor. ”

“.. it's an ulcer. I'm just trying to get my ears...”

“Indeed? Then you have insulted me. I challenged him because I was angry with him. And I won.”

You reach out. Azin's steps lead to Earl Kundra.

“Forgiveness?”

My lips opened.

“I'm the one who won the duel. The loser is Earl Kundra. You insult me, I challenge you to a duel. Now that I've won that duel, I think it's only natural that you apologize to me for insulting me. ”

Earl Kundra's lips flutter and tremble. The nobles looking this way are buzzing. Earl Galphagos' face is distorted. He never imagined that this would happen to his party.

“... apologies. ”

Drunkenness ran away. Earl Kundra barely opened his mouth and said so. When Azin heard that, he shook his head.

“Is that what apples do in Gracia? ”

I'm ridiculed.

“That's not true. Lean back a bit... and be considerate of your opponent's feelings. Reflecting sincerely on what you have done. That's how I apologized. ”

Azin looks around.

“This is Pride. Honorable... I know it's a church for the nobles of Gracia. Is that why you can't keep your head down? ”

“.. you apologized. ”

“I just didn't see him as an apology. ”

A simple answer. Earl Kundra's cheek twitches. Bow your head to this monkey? To a barbarian with no white skin, no blue eyes? Everyone was looking at Earl Kundra. Earl Kundra's lips are thick and chewed.

“I'm sorry. ”

I bow my head. It's just a gesture to clear this up. Everyone will recognize him. All the nobles gathered here are proud of themselves. It's not just arrogance, it's truth. There is no shame in acknowledging your guilt and bowing your head.

“I understand.”

That's it. That's not the main dish. It's just foreplay. The atmosphere is quite warm. Azin looks around. The party stopped, the music of the band, the sound of the champagne and the sound of the cups clashing. The black snow scent with my arms crossed my eyes.

[It's a hobby.]

The sound of the Raw Snow sounded. What are you waiting for? Ajin smiles broadly. And his gaze was on Earl Galpagos.

“Earl.”

Earl Galpagos' shoulders falter as he calls. Something is squeaking. His party went to shit. The atmosphere fades and the music does not flow.

“Next guide, may I ask you? ”

What the hell are you doing? The Galpagos' face distorted. No, what's distorted is his mind. I don't understand What the hell is this guy doing here?

Oh, I see.

“.. go back. ”

A voice comes from the mouth of Earl Galpagos. Azin was slightly impressed. Earl Galpagos' response is slightly off his expectations. What I expected was for him to confront me. Introduce other nobles, lead the conversation. Pretending to be the party owner somehow.

It twists. Very good. Azin hides his amazement and raises his mouth's tail. You're out in front. Azin's lips are open.

“What do you mean? ”

I asked with a fluffy face.

“Go back. Why are you telling me to go back, with all these guests still around?" ”

“For the party. ”

Earl Galpagos glances at Azin with his eyes tightened. This man is here to ruin my party. It doesn't matter if it doesn't suit your manners.

“Unbelievable. ”

I don't want to avoid it if I'm in front of it. Azin disagrees with Earl Galpagos with a smile.

“I came here by your invitation. But I can't believe I'm calling you here and going back. What kind of baptism did I commit? ”

Azin looks at Earl Galpagos and asks. I have never disobeyed anyone. I've never been rude to anyone. At least on the surface, we can't call it rude to act ignorantly and unknowingly. Moreover, Earl Kundra, who called him rude, admitted that he insulted him by battling Azin and defeating him.

“Just for the party. That's all.”

Earl Galpagos knew him for sure. Once Earl Kundra bows his head and apologizes, it is not rude to disrespect the appearance of pain at the party. If we disrespect him, we insult him again.

“That doesn't make any sense either. ”

“My lord has ruined my party. ”

Earl Galpagos replies.

“Of course, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the ear. You can think of me as uncomfortable. But I, as the owner of this party, I just think I need to do the right thing as the owner of this mansion. Lord Aurora fought Earl Kundra to ruin the party, and the nobles who came to my party are a little scared. ”

It was a smooth horse. It didn't have any digging corners.

“That's why I'm just adjusting the mood as a master. Earl Kundra will ask you to go back, not just to your ears. Don't hurt yourself too much. If I ever get a chance again...”

Azin smiles bloody. Obviously, if you take that attitude, there's no room for pain.

“Something bothers me. ”

Azin opens his mouth. Maybe I should change my attitude a little. Azin looks around. The nobles here are all the best of Earl Galpagos. I empathize with his ideas.

“I didn't want to believe it, but I'm starting to get anxious when you say you'll let me go. Please don't think it's rude. ”

Lower your shrill voice. What the hell are you talking about? Earl Galpagos' eyebrows twitch for a moment.

“I heard rumors. ”

If they want to rule it out, let's go a little aggressive over here, too.

“Earl Galpagos, you are a racist. The fact that the pious are humbled and publicly humiliating those who have earned the title of more than just pious and subnoble. ”

As the words continue, the expression disappears from Earl Galpagos' face. Earl Galpagos' actions were not a secret. He acted in public and praised Gratia's purity in public.

Nevertheless, his expression was so hard because this was his mansion. None of those who have been invited to this mansion have ever been opposed to Earl Galpagos. Earl Galpagos was king of the manor, master of the party, and center of the Pride.

“Is that so?”

The laughter twitches. Azin reads the agitation of Earl Galpagos. Something was happening to him that he had never experienced before.

I realized later.

The invitation to the party was an animal he didn't know.

“To tell me to go back. I'm a civilian? ”

“.. it's not like that. ”

“Oh, just because you think I'm ruining the party? So what about this? I've heard rumors. Is it just a rumor? ”

I ask him myself. Earl Galpagos' face distorts. Everyone was watching him.

“Is the rumor I've heard true or false? Has Earl Galpagos ever insulted and humiliated a man in the ranks? ”

“.. why do you ask that? ”

Earl Galpagos asked with a slightly hesitant voice. The question made him smile low.

“Of course not. I'm an advanced man. ”

A little harder.

“If someone like me has been insulted, of course I feel offended. It's a trend, anyway. If Earl Galpagos really did this... he'll have to unravel himself from my side. ”

How? I didn't have to ask why. Ajin said it first.

“A duel.”

You are backed up. Earl Galpagos feels suffocated. All the nobles who know him are looking at him. I'm watching what he has to say. It's a shame. Earl Galpagos swallowed a dry saliva.

Here we must act wisely. There is no such thing. Rumors are just rumors. Fighting right now can be avoided if you put it that way. You have to avoid it. There's nothing to try.

But if you say so, what's your reputation?

“... that's...”

Earl Galpagos' lips twitch and tremble. His face distorted. I didn't want to break the throne built up in the social world.

“.. it's true. I've humiliated him by calling the Jinshan a few times. ”

That's what Earl Galpagos said after all. It's the same with Earl Kundra. It would be better to lose to a duel.

“I see.”

Azin nods, smiling widely. I put my hand in my chest. White Gloves in your hand.

“Let's fight.”

Azin's thrown gloves fly to Earl Galpagos' face. The gloves fall down with a rattling sound.
