Chapter 1094

Episode 1094. You know that if a man says something, you have to protect it, right?

Even in front of the rather shocking news that ‘Count Victor Cairn challenged Viscount Helio Lagoa to a duel’, the nobles’ expressions remained calm.

The Duke of Escatos looked at the Marquis with a funny face.

“I know the mercenary king, Chris Dunamis, who is a great warrior, and is close to the general.

“Because it has been peaceful for years. Prosecutors, don’t you see your face when something happens?”

The conversation stopped for a while after Marquis Bernardo’s words.

After a while, the chief of staff, Viscount Meto Robert, spoke cautiously.

“It seems that it is now clear what the goal of the kingdom of Tallinn is. It must have turned into a duel when there was no effect using Raminov Kingdom.”

Vice Admiral Earl Colin Strong nodded in agreement.

“The Chief of Staff of the Kingdom of Tallinn did not believe in Viscount Elio Lagoa’s swordsmanship, but he seemed to care. Putting up a mercenary king as Count Cairn’s champion... The problem is when Count Cairn’s champion is defeated. The kingdom of Tallinn is growing so much that it even attracts the kingdom of Raminof. I don’t think I’m going to give up just because I lost the duel.”

Then Duke Escatos asked.

“Does the vice general think that the kingdom of Tallinn will harass us by controlling the grain supply?”

“They even mentioned the Jade Lake, so what can they do? If you lose a duel, you might try to retaliate with a grain trade.”

Being a reasonable point, Marquis Bernardo did not refute.

Considering the high pride of the kingdom of Tallinn, which is the strongest in the north, it was still there.

The atmosphere in the barracks became heavy.

Private duels and grain trade between kingdoms were another matter.

There was no way to deal with the reduction in grain sales for one excuse or another.

After that, there was a story like this, but it was just a repetition of the same words.

The great nobles of the Escatos Kingdom hoped that the Tallinn Kingdom would end the conflict with Viscount Elio Lagoa through a duel.

***

Marquis of Hirhera Bernardo’s camp.

Phoenix Knights.

around noon.

The Knight Commander, Earl Ellen Fares, visited Viscount Elio Lagoa, the Vice Commander.

With nothing to do, Elio, who was reading a book, stood up.

“Captain. What are you doing without saying anything?”

Count Ellen Fares waved his hand and said.

“Don’t get up. Sit down. Sit down.”

As Elio slumped down, the Count sat across from him.

“I heard the news. Count Cairn challenged you to a duel?”

“Yes, I was notified in the morning through a person called the vice-captain.”

“If you are the vice-captain of the Rage Knights, is it Viscount Hans Holt?”

“Yes, it seems.”

“I see. I’m guessing the king will definitely win. It is said that the mercenary king has experienced a lot of real battles... but it is meaningless that he fought against people who were as tough as he met while working as a mercenary. Isn’t it?”

“Still, since I’m a sword master, I’m not vigilant.”

“also! His mindset is as perfect as his swordsmanship. Actually, the reason I came to you is because I had a request.”

“Cheong?”

“When will the duel take place?”

“I was told to meet you in three days.”

“Have you learned the swordsmanship of the Order of the Phoenix?”

Count Ellen Fares looked at Viscount Elio Lagoa with expectant eyes.

All the knights of the Phoenix Order use Grandis swordsmanship.

Count Ellen Fares thought that Viscount Elio Lagoa must have learned Grandis swordsmanship since he had been with the knights for about a month.

“Yes, Sir Guillaume Schart, the chief engineer, taught me.”

“Hmm, I would like to hear your opinion on our Grandis swordsmanship.”

“It is good swordsmanship.”

Elio sincerely thought so.

There was no bad swordsmanship for him who was already free from herbivore.

“Then... could you use Grandis swordsmanship in the duel with the mercenary king? Just once is fine. Of course, it doesn’t matter if the opponent refuses as long as it’s the opponent. In a duel with the Sword Master, the swordsmanship that I only learned a month ago...”

“Yes.”

At that moment, Count Ellen Fares asked with a surprised face.

He went out with the kettle and filled it with snow, then came back and set it over the blazing fire stone.

The water quickly boiled, and soon the savory aroma of coffee filled the barracks.

Fabian, who was sipping his coffee, asked as if he had suddenly remembered.

“By the way, why is the vice-captain in Hirhera?”

“why? Is there any reason why I shouldn’t be here?”

“no. I’m curious about why you’re here, refusing the invitation from the Empire, even though Hirhera isn’t home to you.”

“Would you believe me if I said it was for world peace?”

“I’m not a child, would you believe that at my age?”

“He’s an impure guy. you.”

“Is the vice-captain pure? Vice-captain, you have more greed than me, don’t you? I don’t think these words will come out of the mouth of someone who never bought a drink for the platoon commanders.”

“Is it pure if I buy you a drink?”

“I heard one of many examples.”

“What else?”

“You seem to give it to women, but you don’t give it to them. It tightens that too.”

“Cool! What did you think I would give you? You madman.”

While drinking coffee, Elio, who was overheard, pointed his finger at Fabian.

I don’t know what she was saying, ‘looking like she would give it to her but not giving it to her’.

Fabian replied with an impudent face.

“There are only four women I know: Baroness Ashley Nelson, Sir Anna Logan, Baroness Julie Greenwood, and Miss Erica.”

“So I thought I’d give you something, but didn’t give it to you!”

“Heart.”

“When did you say that I gave you my heart? why? Wouldn’t it be better for women to say they gave birth to my child?”

“Wouldn’t the vice-captain’s kindness be seen as an expression of liking for women? Can you deny ‘not at all’?”

“Are you telling me to ignore someone who needs help?”

“It’s not out of the ordinary, but isn’t there nothing to be kind about? I mean, you should have treated it a little harder.”

“men and horses! You are kinder to women than I am!”

“Yes, that’s why you call me a snob. I admit it. I admit everything. So, vice-captain, admit that you are not pure.”

“Wow... fuck. Just listening to you makes me feel like an asshole.”

“Honestly, not that much.”

“Are you saying you’re going to turn me into a very snobbish mass, even though I can’t worship you?”

“So please stop talking about world peace and tell me what the purpose is. Isn’t the vice-captain staying here because he’s aiming for something? Am I wrong?”

Fabian stared at Elio.

With the title of viscount and even becoming a lord, he gained both money and honor.

I don’t know why they insist on the dangerous Hirhera when they can go on a safe cruise to the empire today.

Elio slowly opened his mouth.

“It’s a purpose. I cannot say there is no such thing.”

“What is it? that is?”

Fabian leaned his upper body forward.

Elio stared at Fabian like that and asked.

“curious?”

“yes! let me know Only I know.”

“If you hear this, you should go with me. At least until I return home.”

“it’s okay. My goal is to become the captain of the knights of Slash Land. I was thinking of taking the Viscount anyway.”

Fabian shouted inwardly, ‘I will take over the territory when I return to my hometown!’

“okay? If a man says something, you know you have to protect it, right?”

“Of course not. If you swear, I will swear.”

“You don’t have to swear. Because no one can break a promise they made to me.”

“Yes, I promise. What are you aiming for in Hirhera? Have you ever wandered around and found a gold mine?”

“Huh? Did you have such a cute imagination?”

Elio looked at Fabian with bewildered eyes.

Looking at his eyes burning with greed, I’m not kidding.

Fabian, a genius knight, was a genuine snob who was not ashamed of being a snob.
