Arthur looked at the surrounding Heavenly Stage Knight s.
What was going on? It doesn't look too good --
"It's all your fault, Leo Dickens." "Heavenly Stage Knight of the Southermost Knight Organization, Duke Hall said.
"Is that so?" I think it's interesting. Everyone has a chance, didn't I say that before? Leo Dickens laughed.
"Let's not hold ourselves accountable for this. We have to reach a consensus now." "There has never been a precedent for this kind of thing in history. What should I do?" "
The four Heavenly Stage Knight s muttered to each other. None of them understood what Arthur was saying.
"He's just a commoner!" "
But he drew his sword. "
"That would be against the rules!" "
"Rules my ass!" It was still an old rule, so it still wasn't clear whether it was reasonable or not! "
"But I don't even know if he passed Warrior's Tomb or not!" "
"The sword could have been forged!" "
"Idiot!" Was there even a need to question it? "
Grand Duke Lyons turned and said to Arthur: "Kid, stick your swords into the ground and let them try drawing their swords. "
"But …"
"Don't worry about it!" "
Arthur had no choice but to insert the Holy Sword into the ground.
"I'll go first." The Grand Duke Palin Lore said.
The Heavenly Stage Knight s came over one after another to pull out their swords. None of them could be pulled out.
Then, they looked at Arthur with strange gazes.
"This kid is so thin that he'll fall if the wind blows!" How could that be? Did he use some kind of deceptive trick? "
"He wielded his sword all the way through the illusion?" Are you an idiot? It's not like you haven't fought with him, what tricks can he do in front of you? "
"But, but it's not scientific —!" "
"That," Arthur finally could not hold it in anymore, and asked: "Just what happened? What are you talking about? "
"Kid, do you know what the Four Kings are?" Grand Duke Palin Lore asked.
Arthur shook his head.
"The battle between the four kings is a duel to choose the real [King] from all the Heavenly Stage Knight s. "The sword in your hand was originally a weapon that only the Heavenly Stage Knight had the right to possess. It was used to choose the real [King] of the Pantolacken. "
"Originally, only the highest ranking Heavenly Stage Knight of the Order had the right to enter the Warrior's Tomb to retrieve swords. The Duke Hall said.
"However, in the past two thousand years, there has not been a single Heavenly Stage Knight that managed to successfully pull out a Holy Sword. Grand Duke Lyons sarcastically said.
"Do you know what this means?" Pa Linluoer asked.
"Uh, you don't know?" Arthur asked tentatively.
"Humph." "Heavenly Stage Knight who originally pulled out his sword will fight with the other three Heavenly Stage Knight s," Leo Dickens sneered, "If you lose to anyone, you can exchange them for ownership of the Holy Sword, and then you can have the new owner of the Holy Sword. Then, you can fight with the other three Heavenly Stage Knight s again, and continue to cycle like this." "
Until he defeated the other three Heavenly Stage Knight s and chose the real [King]. The Duke of Yoens said.
"But now you, a commoner, have come and kicked me." The Duke Hall said, "We can only count you in. The five of us will go to the war between the four kings." "
"This, this is a joke, right?" Arthur didn't know what to do.
"This is serious." "Grand Duke Lyons moved closer to Arthur and said," Brat, from today onwards, I will be your opponent. I will not be lenient in a duel. Everyone has a chance to be king, doesn't he? "
"I don't want to be a king." I quit. Arthur replied.
"You have no right to quit!" "You took the Holy Sword and you want to run?" "
"Uhh!" Arthur was suddenly intimidated by the Heavenly Stage Knight.
"Let's draw lots to decide the order of the duel with this kid," Pa Linluoer said.
"Is that fair?" Palin's luck in drawing lots was always the best. Grand Duke Lyons at the side protested.
"So noisy!" It's not necessarily as bad as your lottery draw! "
Five minutes later.
"Am I the first?" How unlucky. Heavenly Stage Knight Leo Dickens said.
"I'm third." The Duke Hall said.
"Two." "As expected, Palin's draw is the best." "
"Best?" No. "I had wanted to be the first one to go on stage and teach this arrogant brat a lesson in the first round." "
"Then you've changed your mind." "In any case, he will lose before he fights you." "
"Uh," Arthur couldn't help but ask. "Aren't you still fighting the civil war? "
"I'm not fighting anymore, I'm in deep trouble!" "The council was merely used as a proxy during the days when the king was not present." Now that the king was about to make his decision, the power of Parliament was frozen. "
"Are you proud?" "Yoens looked at Arthur and laughed teasingly," No matter what the result is, you have finally stopped the civil war! "
"[4 Kings …]" The Battle of the Five Kings was held a week later. In the meantime, get ready. Heavenly Stage Knight Leo Dickens said.
