CH 59

When Lacis heard the signal to begin, he sniffed, "Hmph,"

'Now, if you admit defeat, it won't hurt will it?"

'...... such an unnecessary worry..............　Or is the prince's blade nothing more than a figure of speech?"

Rid held his wooden sword straight up to his eyes and looked at Lacis.

"Don't you understand that I' m telling you this in good faith?

".... That's what I call being all talk".

"You're !"

Lacis rushed at Rid with his sword in the upstage position.

Then, as soon as he got in between, he swung the wooden sword sharply straight down as is.

At that moment, however, his back hit the ground as his world spun around.

"Guha‼!"

Lacis did not know what had happened to him.

But when he came to, he found Rid standing next to him, slowly placing the tip of his wooden sword against his neck and muttering,

'The prince is still all talk, isn't he?"

The nobles watching on the edge were taken aback by Rid's move.

When Lacis charged at Rid with his wooden sword in the upper position, the nobles of Renalute had no doubt that the prince would win.

However, Rid saw through the prince's swordsmanship, entered his bosom, and used a throwing move to lay him down on the ground.

He even went so far as to soften the impact of hitting the ground.

Then, as if to finish him off, Rid put the tip of his wooden sword to his neck.

Ican beat him anytime, right?　

I'm going easy on you, him I?　

He reminded his mother, not with words, but with his strength.

His mother, Liesel, clamped her hand over her mouth and looked like she wanted to take care of her son right away, but the king and his aides prevented her from doing so.

Reiner is sighing with a stern expression on his face.

Rubens and Deanna had big smiles on their faces.

Rid moved the tip of his wooden sword slowly to the center of Lacis' face.

'Are we done, ?"

'Gu, ha, don't be a fool, !'

Leicis understood belatedly that she had been thrown off and stood up with the wooden sword and took a step away.

Rid just watches the scene in silence.

As if to calm himself down, Lacis muttered.

'...... I just let my guard down. I won't let my guard down next time. ...... ."

With the wooden sword also held in his right eye, he approached Rid slowly this time.

Rid is no longer prepared.

But because of what just happened, Lacis can't even jump into the Rid in that state.

Rid let out a sigh of disgust at this situation, and while holding the wooden sword in his right hand, he held out his left hand to Leicis and provoked him with a "kuikui" with his hand.

, "You're making a fool out of me, ......."

As one would expect, Lacis was also ticked off by the situation and attacked Rid.

He raises his wooden sword and swings it straight down.

The wooden swords collided with each other this time, and the sound of dry wood echoed around the area.

(Okay, I can do the rest by force!)

Lacis thought that he could push Lido because of their age and size difference.

However, Rid was able to counterattack and knock Lacis out of his stance.

His body was broken by the force of the attack, and Rid's voice was overflowing with surprise.

Rid then went on to lead into a throwing move and throw Lacis away.

Thrown to the ground again, Lacis collapsed in a slump.

The first time, he tried to get up quickly, but this time he was hit on the cheek with the tip of Rid's wooden sword.

"...... See?　I knew you were all talk, didn't I?"

The voice of Rid is devoid of any emotion. The only thing he does is to tell the truth in a cold and simple way.

The difference in the power of the two is a huge .

Thedifference in ability makes him shudder, and he is about to say a word as soon as he can.

Rid noticed this and put his face close to Lacis's ear and whispered to him.

'You must be a proud prince of Renalute. But that is a countryman of Magnolia. Have you no pride as prince?　Have you no pride as a prince?　Are you not ashamed to make small tricks with wooden sword that I was supposed to receive, and to change into practice attire only for yourself?　Are you going to disgrace your father, your mother, and your family?　Stand up, I will never forgive you for your actions. ......"

Hearing Rid's words, Lacis realized.

(What a foolish thing I have done.)

(I want to be a king like my father.)

(I wanted to be a great person as well.)

(But what about the person I am now?)

(I am disgrace person for our country .)　

Lacis muttered many times in his heart.

Then he ducked down from slump and glared at Lid.

"I won't accept ......, I will definitely defeat you in ."

The stagnation disappeared a little from Lacis's eyes.

Lid's emotion returned a little.

'As usual, you're still all talk."

Lacis brushes aside Rid's wooden sword with his hand and runs to a lying wooden sword, which he picks up and holds in his hand.

This time, he doesn't shiver.

He then confronted Rid.

◇

How many times have he been thrown off and had the tip of his sword pointed at a vital point?

Lacis had not yet been able to land a single blow on Rid.

In fact, his own strength was starting to fail him.

"Hahahaha ......"

"What's wrong?　The prince is all talk, isn't he?"

Rid is still unarmed.

He's just lightly holding a wooden sword in his right hand.

'Damn ...... you monster!'

Lacis shouted and attacked Lido.

But as soon as he swings the wooden sword at Rid, the world spins around.

And then his back hit the ground again.

"Gooaaa !"　

Then, the tip of Lido's wooden sword hits him in the back of the neck.

He was in the middle of a shit , huh huh ......?

'...... you really are all talk.'"

Rid had more guts than Lacis thought.

"I'm not sure what to expect.　It's time for you to admit defeat."

"I don't accept it, I won't accept it,"

Rid felt sorry for himself.

Perhaps he too had been too much in a fit of anger.

As a result, he felt he had become stubborn.

Then the next move was to make.

' Lacis, I have one last question for you.

"

Rid asked, while holding the tip of his wooden sword against Lacis's neck.

'Was it your intention to call my mother sickly and weak?　Or did someone put you up to it?"

He did not expect what I asked, and his face turned grim with a huff.

Was it him, after all?　

He asked him again.

"Prince, please tell me."

Then, Lacis muttered as if he had given up.

"I was the one who decided to have the last word. But I got the information that your mother is sickly from someone ......."

"Norris, is it?"

He didn't expect to hear his name from me.

Lacis looked astonished.

Children are easy to figure out.

(I understood. Norris, you are my enemy.)

(Well, that's that, I want to end this match.)

So Rid made a proposal to the prince.

"Will you admit defeat, Prince?　If not, it will be the worst thing that could happen to you."

"I'll never admit defeat ."

(I think your spirit is great, but let me tell you that sometimes when you are stubborn, it can choke you.)

I let out a small sigh and quickly raised my hand.

Lacis was looking at me with a blank expression on his face. Then, I said in a high voice,

"Everyone, I've defeated ......."

"what the heck is this ?"

Lacis was staring at me with a look of anger and surprise on his face.
