Chapter 1185

Episode 1185. There’s nothing wrong with being prepared.

Noon that day.

With Viscount Helio Lagoa as his great warrior, Benzel challenged the sword master, Marquis Gosling Knauf to a duel.

Of course, Fiestra was upset.

Count Viator Bellanus, lord of Fiestra, hastily summoned the knight commander.

Countess Bellanus.

Introspective central hall.

As the knight commander entered the central hall, Count Viator Bellanus jumped up from his seat.

“Viscount Camilo. Is Benzel challenging Marquis Knauf to a duel? What is this all of a sudden? Besides, the northern nobles are great warriors? Is the whole story true? Did that really happen?”

Viscount Camilo Kussman lowered his head as if he was embarrassed.

“It is true. The arena has been delivered to His Excellency through the Special Forces. Before coming to the lord, I confirmed it through Viscount Colin Mescal, a staff member of the task force.”

In an instant, Count Viator Bellanus collapsed into his chair.

“iced coffee! What can I do? Applying for a duel with the Grand Duke of Knauf... And that’s because the Great Warrior was brought up as a Northern nobleman...”

Now that the Empire’s attention is focused on whether or not the Northern and Southern nations will restore their alliance, the Northern nobleman and the Knauf Grand Duke’s family The duel was a formidable event.

The Grand Duchess of Knauf is the largest and most powerful pillar that supports the Empire.

If the Marquis Knauf wins, it will pass quietly, but what if it loses by chance?

It is clear that the movement to normalize the alliance between the Northern Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom will also accelerate.

It was a catastrophe for the Empire.

Count Viator Belanus, thinking that far, spoke in an urgent tone.

“Gyeong meet Benzel himself and cancel the duel.”

“I want to, but Benzel won’t listen to me anymore. If I had, I wouldn’t have come to this point.”

“Grunt!”

A painful sound came from the mouth of Count Viator Bellanus.

He also had nothing more to say because he knew that the relationship between the knight commander and Benzel had completely changed due to the Marquis Knauf.

“So, what is the Marquis Knauf’s response?”

“We haven’t confirmed that yet.”

“How was the atmosphere of the task force?”

“Of course I thought I would be against it... but that was a little strange.”

“Strange?”

“The staff member, Viscount Mezcal, clearly expressed his disapproval, but the captain, Earl Coldwall, seemed to agree.”

“This is because the special forces are half and half.”

“It is what it appears to be.”

“What do you think Marquis Knauf himself thought?”

“The staff said they didn’t even know.”

“I don’t know?”

“There has been a lot of talk about leaving the gallows in the port.”

“The gallows were not taken down after Gibson Cannon’s execution?”

Count Viator Bellanus looked at the knight commander with bewildered eyes.

The gallows used to be demolished immediately after the execution of the sentence, as it aroused fear in the citizens.

By the way, it’s been four days since Gibson Cannon and the gallows haven’t been dismantled?

Considering that northern nobles were coming and going in and out of the port, it was unusual.

“The staff kept suggesting demolition... but the Marquis of Knauf blocked it.”

“The Marquis of Knauf? Did you leave it there to put pressure on Benzel?”

“There is such a thing, but the staff said it seemed to be conscious of the northern nobility.”

“If you were conscious of the northern nobility, you should have demolished it rather quickly.”

“I thought so too, but my staff told me. When such a story came out within the task force, Marquis Knauf became angry and stopped demolishing it. They said that it seemed that such words came out from within the task force rather than hurt the pride of the Marquis Knauf.”

“A lot of people are curious about the duel. What do you plan to do?”

“What should I do? Wouldn’t the world laugh at you if you avoided the fight that came from the knights of the Grand Duke of Knauf?”

“Since Viscount Lagoa is a noble from the north, no one will say anything if he refuses. If you look at it from time to time, it might be better to avoid it.”

“omg! Are you serious?”

“yes.”

said Marquis Gosling Knauf, staring into Countess Keitha Coldwall’s face.

“It’s surprising to hear such an answer come out of your mouth. I knew you wanted me and Viscount Lagoa to fight.”

“I am also a knight of the Empire.”

“Does that mean you think I will lose to Viscount Lagoa?”

“Sir Lagoa ran about 100 meters on the sea, cut the pirate ship in two with a single sword, and returned.”

“There are many heroic stories like that in the Grand Duchess of Knauf. But I know the truth.”

“What if it’s not an exaggerated heroic tale?”

“It could have been made to fit in our ears. I would have done that too If that method works, you can win without fighting.”

Marquis Gosling Knauf did not take the rumors at face value.

Human beings have no choice but to recognize within the scope of their experience.

In particular, he denied what he had not experienced because he believed that ‘only the Grand Duke of Knauf could reach the peak of swordsmanship’.

“If that’s what His Excellency the Marquis thinks, then I won’t object. However, Viscount Lagoa’s level of magic may be superior to rumors, so I hope you are prepared for that.”

Count Keitha Coldwall thought that running across the sea was magic.

So, I hoped that the Marquis of Knauf would cope well with magic.

“Whoops. Did you think I would fight the magic swordsman without any countermeasures?”

“Ah, did you prepare anything else?”

“Do you know the mana force field device?”

“Yes, I know you are in the imperial palace.”

A large-scale mana force field device was hidden in the imperial palace in preparation for an ambush by magicians.

The mana force field device intervened in the flow of mana and made it impossible to use magic.

“The magicians of the Grand Duke of Knauf succeeded in miniaturizing it. If you bury it near the gallows, you won’t be able to use magic.”

“iced coffee!”

Count Keitha Coldwall sincerely admired the Marquis of Knauf.

It is not an ordinary person to say that he has not expressed his feelings even after preparing that much.

‘I thought he was a horny man who was only good at swordsmanship, but he has a deep heart.’

Marquis Gosling Knauf added words like an excuse.

“As for me, I want to fight a magic swordsman fairly, but it’s a little different if the opponent is a northern knight. Wouldn’t it be too selfish to find the romance of knights in this situation?”

“This is a wise statement. Never let anything happen that gives the northern kingdoms the wrong signal.”

“I think so too. I’ve never thought of losing to Viscount Lagoa, but I’m prepared so there’s nothing wrong with it. Are the Viscount Lagoa’s party still staying here?”

“yes.”

“Tonight, I want to eat alone with Viscount Lagoa.”

“I will empty the sea breeze tavern.”

“I’ll take Count Omar and Baron Cloud out separately and treat them.”

“All right.”

Time was running out, so Count Keitha Coldwall immediately got up and went outside.

After a while, the task force in the Sea Breeze Tavern left the Tavern as if the tide was sinking.

Count Omar of Larva and Baron Fabian Cloud also moved to another restaurant along with Count Keitha Coldwall.

At Sea Breeze Tavern, only the cook, the waitress, Sally, the Marquis Gosling Knauf, and the Viscount Elio Lagoa were left.

Marquis Gosling Knauf sent the cook and saleswoman Sally outside as soon as the food was ready.

The sea breeze tavern, which was crowded with people, quickly became as quiet as a graveyard.

Marquis Gosling Knauf, who had been staring at the dark harbor for a while, turned her eyes to Viscount Elio Lagoa.

“Today, during the day, I received a dueling ring from Miss Benzel. By the way, your name was written on the seat of Daejeonsa Temple. There’s no way there’s another person with the same name in Fiestra, why?”
