A large party hall.
Many people were gathering and talking to each other.
The colors are so gorgeous, and the expressions are full of relaxation and joy.
This place is completely different from the outside.
This was the Riats Party Hotel, where Einhart’s armistice commemoration ceremony and the conferment of titles were held.
“Is that how it happened?”
“You should have seen it.”
“I’m sorry.”
Those who talk without losing their leisure.
But there was something dark in those eyes.
“They don’t treat people like people.”
“It’s just a predatory eye that thinks about what it can steal and what its benefits are.”
“Can you see anything like that?”
Kainrich said to Yi Rowoon.
-The human eye tells a lot more than you think.
“The human eye tells a lot more than you think.”
Remembering the words of Master Sword King, Lee Rowoon said so.
“Then, what about those eyes?”
Lee Rowoon answers Philet’s question.
“Curiosity, Jealousy, and Use Value.”
Those gazes.
“You’re looking right.”
It was all eyes towards Lee Rowoon and Filet.
There is no one who can be said to be the main character of this party, but if there is, it is the Crimson Duke.
If not.
“It’s a bloodseer.”
It could be said that it was the level of a blood victory.
But what’s actually getting the most attention.
“Aren’t you embarrassed?”
However, unlike Batella, who was active outside, the name Zeik was never revealed to the world.
A pseudonym for Lee Rowoon.
“You mean that knight is Sir Sieg?”
“Are the counts appointed this time?”
“It was also bestowed by the Duke of Slaughter himself.”
It was perhaps natural that interest in him was pouring in.
Of course, they weren’t the only ones looking.
Aristocrats approaching for profit.
Kainrich and Philet made hasty eye contact.
It was the moment I was most worried about.
-It will grab your attention.
Attention towards Lee Rowoon and the Knights of Batella.
Especially, I knew for sure that Lee Rowoon would attract attention.
It should be blocked.
Now here’s the answer I’m going to give.
-That’s right.
That’s about it.
It’s going to be the worst of the party’s atmosphere, and the attention it’s drawn to is even stronger… .
“Nice to meet you. I’m Batella’s… .”
When Cainrich came out to fix it.
Lee Rowoon’s mouth opened.
Fillet and Cainrich closed their eyes tightly.
The moment I thought that the thing I was worried about had finally happened.
“Ah. What a great man this is.”
The expression and behavior of the approaching nobleman changed.
“I dared to take someone precious’s time.”
With those words, the nobleman returned.
Fillet and Cainrich with blank faces.
They didn’t seem to accept what had just happened.
“I’m not the Crimson Duke.”
“What did you do?”
Filet asked him hastily.
The time when Lee Rowoon answered.
“I’m sure you’ll see the famous Sir Sieg here. I… .”
Another noble came and greeted me.
Lee Rowoon’s answer is no different from the previous one.
But the opponent.
“Thank you for speaking with me, who is lacking.”
I turned around and left, as if I had spent an enchanting time.
“This is… what?”
What kind of man has become an incubus of Gehenna and spread his fascination?
It made me want to hypnotize him.
“It is a completed power.”
“Naturally, a feeling of reverence and loyalty.”
“More than anything… .”
Lee Rowoon rather approached other nobles.
The nobles who found him and nodded their heads in dismay.
Iowon Lee, who greeted them and sent them, approaches Philae and says:
“Don’t lose your purpose.”
The purpose of the party.
“Finding the Crimson Duke is the first.”
Lee Rowoon said, touching the suit that suits her very well.
The white gloves really stand out.
“He who knows how to hide his identity. I can’t feel the energy of the Crimson Duke yet.”
Fillet nodded too.
The nobles began to greet each other one by one.
“Sir Zeke… !”
“How can you be so cool!”
“Do you have a woman you like?”
It was at that time when Filet’s complexion turned a little pale.
A small wave of the nobles retreats.
With a strangely felt aura, they retreated without knowing it.
Fillet and Cainrich, as well as the Knights of Batella.
The eyes of the knights and wizards who enjoyed the party are also focused.
‘Oh my.’
I mustn’t forget it, but I was so nervous that I missed it for a while.
Thump, thump.
The giant is approaching with the sound of heavy footsteps.
It was the silver bloodline.
“You are the main character of this party… .”
It was the moment when the bloodseer came up to Yi Rowoon and was about to say something.
In an instant, darkness came into the brightly lit party hall.
A time when the nobles murmured and the knights set their blades in a sudden blackout.
A single light was turned on again, illuminating the center of the party hall.
Standing there was a man in a mask.
-Thanks to everyone who attended the party.
A arrogant and serious voice resounds throughout the party.
– Me.
He takes a nice example and says:
-Irgnil Polardiego, Duke of Crimson.
It was the Crimson Duke.
Filet held onto Yi Rowoon’s collar, her face hardened.
-I am Irgnil Polardiego, Duke of the Crimson.
The Crimson Duke has finally appeared.
Actually, although he was trying to capture it, the energy he felt was unusual.
The situation in which Cainrich and the Knights of Batella were also cautious as if they felt something.
“It’s fake.”
The low voice of Lee Rowoon could only be heard in their ears.
“It’s fake.”
The masked man who introduced himself as the Crimson Duke.
He didn’t feel a special circle.
A lot of information stolen from Crimea.
With so much mixed in and everything burned with his death, he gained little, but one thing was certain.
-The Five Great Dukes of the Empire, they have a special circle.
But that fake.
“Although he is a strongman at the level of a Grand Master, he is not a special circle.”
Just a generic article.
Probably one of the knights of the Crimson Duke.
When Philet was talking.
-This party, as we all know, commemorates the truce between Einhart and Eun, and at the same time awards titles to those who have made a difference.
Out of the mask, the exposed mouth draws an arc.
-Then there is no need to excite it.
The Duke of Crimson was famous for hiding and not revealing himself.
They set up fakes at official statues.
As if this had already happened frequently, the fakes were clearly mimicking the Crimson Dukes.
-I have prepared something for you.
The lights come on again.
-Would you mind stepping back?
Where the light shone, the nobles who stood there.
“As the Duke ordered.”
At the order of the Duke of Crimson, he immediately retreated.
The space that looked like that was drawn in a circle.
Let the fake crimson peacock wave his hand.
The flames soared as if drawing a line in a round circle.
-No surprise. Unless it’s my will, my flames won’t hurt you.
The Crimson Duke said.
-This is what I prepared.
“The duel… page.”
Fillet seemed to know what it was.
The fake Crimson Duke continued.
-Truce, that means we can put an end to the blood we have shed so far and start a new relationship. But we’ve shed too much blood to get here.
In his graceful gestures, knights appear and form a circle.
-Isn’t there a ritual for them?
A knight under the Crimson Duke enters the circle, greets the nobles, and raises an iron sword.
It was a bladeless sword.
– Duel. There’s nothing better than that. Can anyone compete with my knight? If you win… .
Fake applause.
-I will give you the honor of being invited to my castle and my dear friend.
That’s fake.
But what he said was the real thing uttered in the duke’s name.
Dukes of the Empire, including the Dukes of Crimson, were known to have enormous artifacts.
Things that have been passed down from the united Einheart in the past, and things known to have been gifted by the Guardian Dragons.
It was known that the weapons made by the now extinct dwarves were also kept in the peacocks’ warehouses.
Give it to you.
But what’s more interesting than that… .
Screaming!
“Are you invited to the castle?”
Duke of Crimson, honor to be invited to his castle.
“I! I will try!”
A knight enters the circle and says:
-A brave knight. What’s your name?
“It is called Fahest of the Brilliant Sky Knights.”
-Oh! It was the Royal Knights.
The fake eyes begin to shine.
-Good start. Just be mindful. This is to add to the fun of the party, so I’ll refrain from killing.
A knight with a given sword.
“Then, as the Duke ordered… .”
“I will try to win.”
His bladeless iron sword was swung swiftly.
The article in the circle has been changed several times.
It seems that it is not a lie that the Duke of Crimson prepared something for fun.
Moreover, there are many knights of the Empire in this place today.
The Royal Knights and even the Knights of the Kingdom were there.
-Oh! This time, the magician of the enemy tower, Prince Merrights, has won!
The wizards were also actively participating in this event.
It wasn’t just for fun.
Conditions offered by the fake.
-The honor of being invited to the Crimson Castle.
It was an opportunity to connect with the Duke of Crimson, and a good opportunity to get into the heart of the Empire.
A nobleman who would refuse it?
-Wizards up to 3rd circle!
There were rules.
-A knight cannot use an auror!
They clash with the proper rules.
The owner of the circle has already changed several times.
Slowly.
-You’re starting to get bored.
The knights’ duel was provocative, but as long as Auras and magic are forbidden, there are limits to what they can show.
It was the moment when the duel event was about to become boring because of the simple repetition of a simple structure of winning by simply slashing stamina.
I heard heavy footsteps.
“Speak to the Crimson Duke.”
It was rude to say that it was different from Einhart’s etiquette.
However, it is understandable because the subject is not Einhart.
-Did I say it was the Beopsan Ambassador? don’t make a statement
Beopsan, who came as the representative of Shaolin, and a blood monk standing next to him.
“I want to boost the excitement as a representative of Eun, will you allow it?”
In other words, it meant that they could participate.
The fake laughs once more.
-Will you participate?
“No.”
Heavy footsteps again.
He enters the circle.
“I will.”
The blood monk stood there like an old tree.
