Chapter 1057

Episode 1057. Has anyone bet money on the baron?

Hirhera Escatos Kingdom Army Garrison.

The camp of Marquis Bernardo.

The fact that the gamble on the outcome of the duel was canceled is the story of the Kingdom of Baylem.

The situation of the Escatos Kingdom Army was a little different.

Of course, there were an overwhelming number of people betting on the victory of Count Codrantes, but surprisingly, there were quite a few people betting on Elio’s side.

Many of the knights and soldiers who fought alongside Elio in front of the rift bet on Elio.

He rated Elio’s swordsmanship higher than the rumored sword master.

In particular, all the Alpha Company knights who used the same barracks as Helio bet on Helio.

At dusk, Alpha Company Knight Ridley visited Fabian after a long absence.

“Fabian. What did Baron Elio say?”

“What?”

“The duel tomorrow. Are you confident?”

“Our company commander is always full of confidence. He is so confident that he is still reading the book.”

“It’s good to be confident, but shouldn’t we be prepared? Since you are my staff, go and tell me something.”

As Ridley came out aggressively, Fabian looked at him suspiciously.

“This is suspicious. Have you ever bet on a duel?”

“uh? uh. it’s not just me Our Alpha Company knights all bet on Baron Elio. Because we have a bond together.”

“You mean a loyalty bet? They are not like that.”

Ridley, who was acting on the other side with a puzzled face, asked as if to confirm.

“Baron Elio will win, right?”

“I can’t say for sure because I’ve never seen Count Codrantes’ swordsmanship, but I bet on the side that Baron Elio wins.”

“okay? That’s it. Don’t trust your eyes that serve you closest. By the way, what are you going to do next?”

“yes? What are you talking about?”

“Baron Elio is now a lord, right? Will you be his knight? Or will you continue to remain in the marquis family?”

“ah! was that question? well. I haven’t thought about that far yet...”

Fabian was speechless.

As soon as he followed Baron Elio to Rufus Company, things happened with Count Putocoa, and he had no time to think about the future.

“Baron Elio needs a knight now, right? I thought you’d already made up your mind, but that’s a bit surprising.”

“I was hectic busy taking care of the company members.”

“But the last time I saw them, they fought well for a newly formed unit.”

“We are still far away.”

A beauty dressed in the Baylem Kingdom army approached the two of them as they chatted.

“I’m looking for Rufus Company, do you know where it is?”

At the female knight’s question, Fabian stepped forward.

“This is the Rufus company camp. I am 2nd Lieutenant Fabian, the staff of the company commander. What are you looking for?”

“Oh, my name is Anna Logan of the Knights of Seletus. I came to say hello to Company Commander Rufus... Can I meet you?”

Fabian, who knew that Anna Logan was an aristocrat, responded with a straight face.

“Follow me. Let us guide you. Sir Ridley, I will bring Sir Anna Logan to the company commander.”

After Fabian said goodbye to Ridley, he and Anna Logan headed to Elio’s barracks.

Rufus company commander’s barracks.

Anna Logan said to Baron Elio Lagoa, who greeted her with a puzzled face.

“Were you surprised by the sudden arrival?”

“Ah yes. But what about?”

Elio, who was disinterested in her, went to the main point without hesitation.

Anna Logan was a little upset when Baron Elio Lagoa treated her businesslikely, but she didn’t show it.

“I want to say thank you before it is too late. I heard that the duel between the Baron and Count Codrantes will take place tomorrow.”

“My duel opponent is not Count Codrantes, but Count Putocoa?”

“That’s true, but since Count Codrantes is the great champion of Count Putocoa, you’ll end up dueling Count Codrantes.”

“What could it be?”

“I know the baron’s swordsmanship is excellent... but he’s a sword master. Are you okay?”

“There is a saying in my hometown that you can only know long and short by looking at it.”

Elio stared at Anna Logan.

What if it’s okay in the current situation, and what if it’s not okay.

“Ah yes...”

Anna Logan wet her dry lips with her tongue.

“I will. There are even rumors that his aides have jumped into the gambling table.”

“It’s a bet.”

The corners of Count Codrantes’ mouth went up.

There was a bet that could be said to be a must if nobles had a duel.

If it’s a place where there’s no topic of conversation like Hirhera, I’ll add more.

“Has anyone bet money on the baron?”

“That’s...”

Viscount Bain Marino slurred.

Then, Count Codrantes gave a glance that he was okay.

“I heard that there were a few knights who used the same quarters as the Baron, and a few people from Alpha Company, Diva Company, and Rufus Company who bet on the Baron.”

“...”

Count Codrantes looked at the staff with absurd eyes.

If it was the unit that Baron Elio Lagoa was in, it would be understandable.

But to think that even the Diva Company under his command bet on him?

When he was displeased, Viscount Bain Marino hurriedly continued.

“With the exception of a very few, the entire kingdom bet on the Count’s victory. Aren’t there people who bet against the original dividends? It must be the psychology of aiming for the jackpot.”

“No matter how much you bet on the lord’s opponent... that seems a bit over the top.”

As Count Codrates stared at him, Viscount Van Marino secretly averted his eyes.

Count Codrantes, who was thinking about something, asked.

“Anyway, that must have reached the ears of Baron Helio Lagoa, right?”

“No doubt.”

“His reaction?”

“So far, there has been no movement. I heard you haven’t come out of the barracks all day.”

“Even though you know that Count Putokoa’s great warrior is me, right?”

“Maybe I gave up. Because it is too late to come and prepare now. Can we say that we prepare for ten years?”

“Is it really so?”

Just then, the voice of the exclusive cook came from outside the barracks.

“The lord’s dinner menu is grilled lamb and...”

“Tonight’s dinner is done. We will be eating out, so you don’t have to prepare.”

“yes.”

Viscount Bain Marino, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, asked.

“Do you have dinner plans?”

“None.”

“But why...”

said Count Codrantes, rising from his seat.

“Tonight, we will have dinner at the camp of Marquis Bernardo. These are the people who came to help our estate, so we should see if there is any inconvenience. Let’s go with you too.”

“Ah yes...”

Viscount Bain Marino hesitantly stood up.

It wasn’t on the schedule until the story of Baron Elio Lagoa came out, but I don’t know what the wind was blowing all of a sudden.

***

Marquis Bernardo’s camp.

Knight’s Restaurant.

Elio and Fabian stepped inside.

The otherwise quiet knight’s restaurant became as quiet as a grave for an instant.

The knights’ eyes turned to Elio for a moment.

Elio, who had been looking around the inside with a puzzled face, quickly walked to the food table.

Elio, who had been served on a plate, walked to find an empty seat.

Still, unlike before, when he pretended to be a knight of the same marquise, the knights greeted him first whenever he passed by.

Fabian smirked as he set down the tray across from Elio.

“Are you popular?”

“It means nothing.”

It’s time for Elio to answer curtly and raise the spoon.

Suddenly, the rattling sound of spoons stopped all around.

A strange tension enveloped the restaurant.

Elio looked back with a strange feeling, and his eyes widened.

Two men who seemed to be knights of the Count Codrantes – as if they had been inspected – were looking around the restaurant.
