"So, are you ready for the weapon?

"Yes, this way."

Masauda, the First Prince of the Kingdom of Arabia, receives a sword from the court magic he summoned to his room.

"Be careful. The sword is poisoned with manticore."

Hmm.

While listening to the magician's attention, Masauda checked the magical gloss on the sword and kept the sword in the sheath.

"Alright, arrange for this to be my sword in the Battle of Kings. In a few hours, I'll say goodbye to that abominable kid."

"Ha, but are you sure? No matter how much you get in the way, killing in public is a drawback, isn't it?

"What are you scratching? Death in the Battle of Kings is like an accident. We can dispose of the poison on the sword as much as we want."

"But you don't have to kill anything, you don't have to banish..."

"Shut up. Don't let anyone know more."

He was a magician who challenged Massauda's murder, but Massauda's willingness to kill him was greater than ever.

"I can't stand the fact that it's alive. Whatever happens, I'll kill him in Kings. Otherwise...."

Masauda shuts up as she tries to put her mouth behind her.

Beyond murder, there was a burning color.

"... anyway, if you kill him in the Battle of Kings, I'll be safe. All you have to do is fuck that old man, and he'll be fine and take the throne."

It seemed as if Masauda was afraid of something lurking in the battle of kings, as if she could not take the throne without it.

At least, the magician who was looking at it felt so, and he smiled darkly at the bottom of the hidden hood.

◇ ◇ ◇

All right, that's it.

"Hah... hah..."

On the other hand, Rostam and Zahak, who had been training in the courtyard with Singh, had been training Singh for nearly half a day since then.

"If you do this in action, you will win enough. But the problem is the timing. Look, when the opponent wins, don't miss the gap. Now you have enough power to pierce the enemy gap."

"Yes, thank you....!

Sin sits on the spot thanking Rostam for his advice.

His body was sweaty and his breathing was adjusted by shaking his shoulders violently.

On the other hand, Rostam didn't seem to sweat, but he still smiled without knowing how good Sin was growing up.

"... what do you say, Rostam? How's Thin...?

"Mm-hmm. That's all the monsters grew up with, more reflexes and motor nerves than ever. Probably because he grew up in a harsh environment. Simple physical abilities don't even pull off those brave men."

"... but the problem is sword technology..."

In response to Rostam's thoughts, Zahak quickly pointed to what Sin was missing.

No matter how weak your physical abilities are, if you're naive about handling weapons, it's not a story.

Especially since this battle of kings is a sword match, it is natural to suspect that there should be some kind of trick in the sword than the opponent will use it.

It is impossible to avoid it by wearing it alone; at the very least, you must hold the opponent's sword and acquire enough skill to receive it.

"... but your earlier tactics. Is that really a good thing to use in Kings...?

"What are you talking about, brother? I don't think it's against the rules. It's not in the rules."

"... no, that was before the rules..."

Zahak remembers that the Rostam in front of him was originally a monster, and sighs to see if the common sense of this hand is gone.

"... but maybe you're right..."

Not listed in the rules. In other words, there is a farce that it is not irregular, and there is a way that Singh can win.

The sword's arm can't be handled overnight.

Singh, who was a wild child, was taught the general rules and only how to fight according to them.

But that's enough.

They teach Singh a tactic that can only be won, and then they just try to see if it passes.

"Singh, the battle of kings will be held in the halls of the royal palace in a few hours. Rest until then."

"Eh, but if you still have a few hours, I can do it...."

Rostam forced Sin to sit up.

"It's counterproductive to hurt your body to the limit. When you get here, rest for a few hours. It's the best thing you can do right now."

Sin nodded immediately convinced Rostam to say so.

Sleep on the spot and start breathing with Suyasuya.

Then an unfamiliar soldier approached Rostam and Zahaq's whereabouts, looking at Sin's quiet face, and slapped him in the ear.

"Dear Zahak, Progress has been made on the case....."

"... I see..."

Rostam shouts on his brother's back as he begins to move away from the scene, whether or not he hears a report from the soldier.

"Which way are you going, brother? In a few hours, the Battle of Kings will begin."

"... about that. I received word that I found the whereabouts of a soldier involved in the incident a few years ago...."

"Whoa."

A few years ago.

Zahkh immediately understood that it was the assassination of Singh's mother.

Since entering the kingdom, Zahaq and Rostam have been using the Empire's intelligence network to investigate the events of the time and the surroundings of Massauda.

At that time, the assassination should not have been easy, given that the murdered Singh's mother was the King's official queen.

Even if the masochist is Masauda, the assassin, the gatekeeper and the soldier who guided it, or the maid to the nobility.

It is impossible without the involvement of many, and it is impossible to dispose of all those involved.

Even if it were done, it would be like admitting the black rumours in the royal palace, and many of them would hold the gold and drive it far away, or silence it is the fixed stone.

But that wasn't the discomfort Zahaq felt.

Was it necessary to assassinate the queen and kill the children until you took all the time and risk?

That is the question Zahaq first felt.

Massauda is the country's first prince.

It is decided to inherit the throne without doing anything.

The assassination was carried out not only because the queen was a civilian, but also because the greater back was hidden.

Zahak goes to the city to find out.

There, Zahak had a hunch somewhere in his mind that the truth of the incident was hidden.

◇ ◇ ◇

Okay.

Then I went out of the royal palace to see the sun climbing up.

"I did everything I could. All we have to do is leave it to the flow."

I looked back at all the people behind me.

"Let's go. I have to go to watch Kings and support Singh."

Everyone nodded at my voice.

We went to the venue of the Kings' War to watch over the settlement of Sin and Masauda.
