Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 8. Duel (3)

“Heave-ho, heave-ho! ”

As Grelder's high-pitched scream echoes louder, an expressionless voice comes from Lika 'ien's mouth.

“You won't be able to hold the sword again. I want to take your life as I see fit, but I will forgive you this much. ”

Likayen's mango shoe severed the tendon across Gregor's shoulder precisely. Even if there is a cure, you cannot work with your right hand all your life.

“Ugh!”

A moaning bursts from Gregor's mouth. With the disgrace of defeat, the terrible loss of his right hand gripped his mind.

For a prosecutor, his right hand is like life. When you grow up to be a master, it is hard to think of life as mere parable. I lost my right hand like that.

Lycaen turns around and bows quietly to the duchess.

“I sincerely apologize for letting you see the blood at the feast. I will reward you in any way at a later date. ”

Lord Dovern nods.

“Got it.”

Then he walked out into the middle of the arena and opened his mouth to the people.

“The duel is concluded by two witnesses and the witness, Marquis Doyle. The duel ended with the victory of Earl Frost, and Earl Frost made no further demands of Earl Gregor. ”

A shout to announce the end of the duel. At the same time, the servant of the late Duke Dovern hurries out to examine Gregor's wounds.

Earl Doyle clears his voice for a moment and looks at the people.

“I thought of resuming the banquet when the excitement of the banquet broke out and the duel ended well, but things didn't seem right. I'm sorry to have to ask you to leave. I will see to it that the late Earl of Greyder heals. ”

Thus, the feast for Lord Dovern's birthday was over. The faces of the returning people looked shocked together. No, there was no one who could make a comfortable face.

A duel between Lycaen and Gregor himself. It was not a duel. It was very one-sided harassment.

A duel that ended with only a swing without using a single sword, against a master who also uses a blade. This meant that Earl Riccianne Prokers' skills could not be distinguished simply by an express, masterclass distinction.

And it was weighing down the hearts of almost most of the nobles who attended the banquet.

“Who the hell are you? ”

Caith looks at you dumbfounded. Many duels have been gathered in the world, but I've never heard of a duel as monstrous as today. Beating the master with a simple swing. It was a clear story that if you go somewhere and say it, you will be treated as crazy.

But it actually happened right in front of your eyes. And he who does that nonsense is his friend.

It was rather strange to keep a straight face.

Lycaen, who was staring at Caith for a moment, smiled strangely and asked.

“Are you curious?”

“Then wouldn't you be curious? ”

“Well……. ”

“Come on, say it. Who the hell are you? ”

“A dragon.”

Despite a sudden and whimsical joke, Caith has a serious look on his face. Even though I knew it was a joke, I didn't know it was serious.

And then he sighs for a long time.

“Ha! You're so boring. ”

“This is a joke I told you to have fun with. ”

“It's not funny, man! ”

After a howl at Lycaen, Caith shuts up and thinks. Then he asked the question again to Lycaen.

“What are you after? ”

“What do you think? ”

“Shake.”

“Precisely.”

“Tell me more precisely. ”

At Caith's request, Lycaen breathes for a moment and then answers.

“First of all, the Earl of Eigen is shaking. And then we shake Earl Romon. ”

“Even Earl Romon? But I don't think it has any special effect on Earl Romon. Earl Eigen is shaking, so he's taking his place... but nothing's shaking because of you, right? ”

“Oh, there's something I haven't told you. I've already finished my conversation with Earl Romon. ”

“Huh? What story? ”

“Let's make a deal. Earl Roman gives me Earl Eigen's information, and I control or shake Earl Eigen. Instead, I will never be a part of Earl Romon's power. ”

As soon as he hears the story, Caith nods loudly.

“Ahh! Was that what today's duel was about? To make the nobles of Earl Roman clan struggle to get you in? ”

“Yes."

“Hmm, that's pretty good. The nobles in power covet you, but the great lord, Earl Romon, cannot draw you in. On second thought, the nobles made you eager to covet and never let Earl Romon turn his back on you. With that much skill, Earl Romon won't be able to break his promise to you. ”

“Yes, and then Earl Romon's waves begin to sway from within. ”

“Heheheh, scary guy. I'm glad you're a friend. I wish I was an enemy... Ugh!”

Caith shakes his head excitedly and gives you a terrifying look. When Lycaen saw that, she smiled and said.

“This is a master-class test I'm not too confident about. ”

At that moment, his face turned pale. Then I opened my mouth with a stiff face.

“You, how did you...? ”

Caith was also a master's apprentice. But I never told anyone about it. I didn't even tell my brother, Shylon. But I'm surprised that Ricaien knows that.

“I see it.”

“Huh? What do you mean...? ”

“No matter how good you hide it, I can feel it all. ”

“Damn, I hid it all the way to the end and tried to use it as a hide-and-seek. ”

“Don't worry. Where am I going to say that? ”

“Heheh heh, well, the man I chose as a friend won't be behind my back. ”

Lycaen suddenly said with a calm expression.

“So far, I have only two friends, including you. ”

“Huh?"

Caith tilts his head in disdain for a sudden appearance of Lycaen. Likewise, Licayen continued to talk slowly.

“And there's only one person left in the world. ”

“Another friend... is dead already...? ”

“Yes, he's dead. And now I'm using dragons to keep a promise I made to him. ”

“Promise... ”

Caith was greatly curious about what the promise was, but did not ask. It's because I think Lycaen would have told me first if I could.

And Lycaen didn't say anything else. Caith cautiously opens his mouth, waiting to hear from Lycaen for a long time.

“So…? ”

Suddenly Lycaen smiled and said.

“So what, then? You're asking me not to do anything. ”

“Ehhh! Freak! ”

“So are you. ”

After taking a short joke, Caith asks again with a serious face.

“By the way... what are you really after? ”

“Huh?"

“I know you want to shake both forces... but what do you get out of it?" ”

“A definite renovation of the nobles of Bren Kingdom. ”

“Huh?"

“If you hold both forces and shake them, they will eventually become extinct. Besides, if there's going to be a war soon, it'll be faster. ”

“Of course.”

“At that time, I will reform all the nobles of Bren Kingdom around me. ”

“What?! ”

Caith is startled and shouts out in a loud voice. I can't believe you're reforming the entire Bran dynasty around yourself. No matter how much I joked, I wanted it to be so big. However, Lycaen's expression was so serious that he thought it was a joke.

“My goal is to put Erl Produce in the best position possible. So shouldn't you have a goal like that? ”

“Dude, have you forgotten that I'm a nobleman next to you? ”

“It's good to hold one hand equally. ”

“Hurrah! Look at this face. What are you so sorry about? Why don't you just say you're going to be king? Then I can't help it if I'm noble. ”

Caith relentlessly spits out words to be drawn to the reverse. But Riccianne had another drink.

“Hmm, that's the way it is. I have to think about it. ”

“Huh! You fool! ”

* * *

“Licagien Prokers... He's scary. ”

“I can't believe you beat Gregor so easily when you're already a master and have nothing to fear! ”

“Aigoo, winning isn't the problem here, is it? Isn't that why we lost one master who could be our greatest strength? ”

After each throw, it was a heavy silence.

Four in the center, Earl Badel, Earl Rendinen and Earl Slyne, sit to the right from Earl Eisen. These are the nobles who are the main members of Earl Eigen's clan.

In silence, everyone's gaze is directed at their leader, Earl Eigen. The face you want him to say anything to you. However, Earl Eisenhower clammed his arms and clammed his mouth.
