Duke Krail Meutt, the finest knight in the Kingdom of Leaden.
And Earl Halstein, who appeared as the error master that Emperor Kars had hidden during the occupation of Castel Castle.
A commotion erupts as the two rivers stare at each other.
Two orders were for the master to make everyone around him suffocated by fear just by living.
Fortunately, the disturbance has calmed down with the work of Duke Britain, the Orion Kingdom's error master.
After all, it was a short commotion with the three error masters involved.
It's a case of every knight with masters to pursue, so it'll be a conversation for ages even after a brief commotion.
This caused the three countries' error masters to splendidly tremble at the official table.
Phew, it was a trembling moment, by the way.
It's a good thing we ended up in a neurological war. If there was a real stabbing, this whole building might collapse.
Well, seeing the collapse of Earl Ranzhel's mansion would be a delightful spectacle, but perhaps Duke Meutt should not be killed or injured.
The value of Duke Meutt in the Kingdom of Leaden is priceless.
But it was then.
“But doesn't everyone feel bad? ”
What's he saying now?
I looked at the person who said it out of excitement.
It was the king of Orion. A full-on king trying to be tough.
“The reputation precedes us as Duke Meutt and Earl Halstein, who made the continent tremble with lightning! Any man would be thrilled to imagine. Isn't that right?”
I felt something ominous.
No way.
Scared of the feeling of stiffness, King Orien made a bold offer to everyone in a distinctive, sweet voice.
“You two must have pride as unmanned! I think we should give him a chance to compete fairly. ”
In that proposal, Duke Meutt and Earl Halstein began to look at each other again.
The reaction of two people, their monarch, was staggered.
Emperor Kars is still frozen. King Erik, on the other hand, hardens his face.
A duel between the masters of error.
There can be no casualties in the battle of monsters who wield Orb Blades to slaughter and destroy everything!
As a monarch, he should never have allowed it.
Especially for our Kingdom of Leaden, where is Duke Meutt?
Even the pillars that support this country are important enough to be a nobleman.
What disaster would it be if he died or got hurt in this stupid pride contest?
Even Emperor Kars would not want to lose his precious funding as an errand master who moves like his own pawn.
The Orient King came up with an ingenious proposal for such a dangerous match.
It is in the interest of the Orient Kingdom that the two countries' error masters die or are injured.
To try to damage the power of another country with one word...,
Even the Orient King was unusual.
He must have seen a lot of blood to gain powerful power, so he must be raising dozens of snakes inside.
There is something to be shy about, but it is also clear that he is more than average.
Is that what I don't think it is?
“Excellent idea, Your Majesty. I might be able to unravel the one question that countless people have. ”
Earl Raymond, the Grand Wizard of the Orient Kingdom, votes in favor.
Those guys!
I looked at them because I was exhausted.
King Erik seems to be in a state of panic because he's still young.
He had the strength to think about how to respond.
It is because the Orient King mentioned his‘ self-esteem as an unmanned 'that we should also consider Duke Meutt's face to simply refuse.
But we have to refuse that.
Who's Duke Meutt? It is not necessary to put the nobles who support the Kingdom of Leaden in danger in this way.
King Erik tries to speak up about his decision to refuse.
At that time, Duke Meutt stepped forward and said,
“Very well.”
“Duke!”
King Eric cries out in surprise. Duke Meutt said to King Erik with a grim look on his face.
“Allow me, Your Majesty. ”
“Duke, what are you talking about? ”
“Don't worry about me. Leave it to me."
“Oh, I see. And what of you, Earl Halstein? ”
The Orient King asked with an increasingly excited face.
Earl Halstein replied as if there was no need to worry.
“I don't need it. ”
“What?"
“I will not stand against him. ”
The Orion King looks ridiculous.
With Duke Meutt's confidence revealed, everyone thought that Earl Halstein would take the fight, of course. You have self-esteem as an unmanned man.
Earl Halstein, however, resolutely refused.
He said.
“I will not raise my sword in any case, unless it benefits the great Emperor Karshhorn. You can tell them I avoided the battle. Just tell him to take the Duke of Meutt. ”
That said, I had to stick my tongue out.
A knight doesn't need honor.
It meant that his loyalty to Emperor Kars was blinded.
In a sense, it is the person who is the most afraid.
That type is the scariest.
He was a man who could do anything for King Kars.
Everyone was amazed at the loyalty of Earl Halstein, and asked King Orien with a smile.
“It means that if the Emperor of the Horn allows it, he may be able to fight back. What do you think?" ”
This is amazing.
King Orien misinterpreted the words of Earl Halstein and gave the decision to Emperor Kars.
Emperor Kars stared at King Orien emperor with his hollow eyes, momentarily expressionless.
That look.
I know that look.
The user looks at the opposing Pokémon's face and looks at their minds.
Soon Emperor Kars opened his mouth.
“The Error Master uses an Error Blade to inflict the destructive power of a single strike. Fighting between masters can be dangerous in many ways. I don't think it's manly to encourage a difficult fight. ”
“Well, what? ”
The face of the Orion king turned pale at times.
I almost laughed.
I'd say Emperor Kars.
He understood the nature of the Orient King at a glance and ridiculed him with the most unwanted words.
In the words of Emperor Kars, the Orient King began to roar in fury.
“Are you insulting me?! ”
“Or not. ”
“That's no way to end this! ”
“I was joking.”
The Orient King seemed tired of the clumsy look on his face of Emperor Kars.
I shook my head kicking my tongue to see if it made me feel foolish to be angry by myself.
Emperor Kars turned his gaze to Earl Halstein.
“Duke Krail Meutt wants to fight. Do you?”
“I don't want to, Your Majesty. ”
Earl Halstein insisted.
“Do you fear him? ”
“I'm not afraid. ”
“So if you get a chance, do you want to fight? ”
“…… Yes. ”
Emperor Kars looks away again, and this time he sees me.
What? What is it? Why are you looking at me?
“Baron Caroc Kunt. ”
“Yes, Your Majesty. ”
I reacted with a shivering expression.
“Your spirit recognizes at a glance that Earl Halstein is the Master to come. That is, to a spirit, we have the cognitive ability to transcend the human senses. ”
“That's right.”
“Then it means that if the fight becomes dangerous, it can be stopped immediately, and that there is no one like you who will definitely judge superiority. ”
“That's ……. ”
Who decides what they want? I don't know if I can?
“Good. I've decided. Baron Karoc Kunt grants permission to fight on the condition that he stops fighting before becoming the judge and seeing blood. How about you?”
Emperor Kars asked King Erik.
King Erik still looks unwelcome, but Duke Meutt is looking hard for his permission. King Erik nods with a deep sigh.
“Very well, I'll allow it. ”
Emperor Kars gazed at Earl Ranzhel, who was momentarily pushed back.
“Is there a good place to fight? ”
“Come with me.”
Everyone in the ballroom followed Earl Ranzhel.
I took a step towards Duke Meutt.
“Duke. ”
Duke Meutt, walking with a solemn expression, looked at me.
“Why did you say you'd fight? ”
“Because I thought nothing dangerous was going to happen. ”
“Are you sure Earl Halstein is under the Duke's command? ”
“No way. He was a mighty man beyond measure. You can feel it in a flash. ”
“Then why...? ”
I had no choice but to wonder.
It was because Duke Meutt was never one to cause useless fights because of his ambition and pride.
Duke Meutt said to me in curiosity:
“If the battle is to be won, I would have you on trial as well. ”
“Yes?”
“I'm not blind. It must be hard to feel spiritual affinity or spiritual energy. I'm not sure what kind of spirit you are yet. ”
“ ……? ”
I tilted my head because I didn't know the language.
“But with a master of error, it's easy to notice that you're pretending to be tired. I want to ask. During your ten-day tour from Ledon to here, you told me to rest and pretend to be exhausted once every two days. In fact, you didn't seem to be struggling at all. That means he wants to hide what he sees. Why did you do that?”
“ ……. ”
I've lost my words.
It seemed that the master of error was not a presumptuous being. Even Duke Britain and Duke Meutt find out that I'm a higher spirit.
“I think you've become a higher spirit, am I right?" ”
“…… Yes. ”
“I wonder why you tried to keep it a secret. ”
“I thought if I hid my skills, I'd have something to use later. ”
“I see. It would have been a great honor to announce that, and you stand by it, Earl Halstein, as well. ”
“Honor doesn't really matter. ”
