081 Knight’s Honor and Middle Age Romance (5)
I came up after saying everything I had to say, but it was unclear whether Prince Sedric would act according to my words.
He snorted lowly, but showed no reaction.
The nobles looked at me and talked constantly.
I zealously ignored them and took the glass bottle from Canael.
When I saw the pomegranate ade with lemon slices on it, I felt like my stomach was already piercing a little.
Kristel greeted me with twinkling eyes.
“Prince, what did you say to His Majesty?”
“I told you to be quick.”
“How. If it were me, I would have asked you to cook it properly.”
I drank the ade and laughed awkwardly.
In any case, I would have let the prince do whatever he wanted, but this time around, I was so anxious that I had no choice but to do it.
Christel’s handkerchief, tied to the hilt of the sword, was clearly visible from here as well.
“This duel will continue until one of them declares surrender, with two witnesses watching. His Majesty Prince Sedric is a 7th grade wizard, 8th grade swordsman, and an apprentice paladin with fire attributes. The opponent, Duchess Robert Blanquere, is a level 8 wizard!”
Marquis François Duheme stood in front of the audience and began to comment without biting his tongue.
Hearing this, the power of the prince was definitely overwhelming.
It was a fraudulent character who couldn’t do anything for fear that someone was not the ‘main male lead’.
Although it could be pushed back a bit with magic, it seemed like the game was over, unless the peasant had a talent for his sword.
I glanced at the little peacock’s condition.
He held a wooden staff that looked about 50 cm tall in his right hand, and it seemed to be a black ornament on his waist.
His expression darkened. Well.
“It’s not going to be over in five seconds, is it?”
Kristel whispered. Sir Haynes, who had been silent the whole time, answered.
“Just like a paladin, matchmaking is important for a mage. It can be tricky if the mana attributes of your High Majesty and the Duke do not match.”
At that moment, Sir Elizabeth drew out her sword and plunged it into the ground.
“Start!”
– Jiying!
Simultaneously with the words of the Marquis Duhem, the duke opened a ‘mana circle’, a magic ceremony.
As soon as a bright red square appeared at his feet, it rotated clockwise and began to self-replicate in eight identical forms.
-Chang, Chang, Tsarreuk!
“Oh oh!”
As the magic expression unfolded like a fan overlapped up and down, the audience burst out in exclamation.
Even for me, who had only seen the portal magic ceremony, the magic ceremony performed by the wizard himself was a curious spectacle.
When writing a ‘speciality’, no magic formula is required, so the prince had never presented such a spectacle in front of me.
During the Great Subjugation of Beasts, there was no time to watch other wizards.
At first glance, it looked like a circle like the ‘ether circle’ of the priest, but if you look closely, you can see that 8 squares are meticulously intertwined.
8 magic formulas, so 8th grade.
“The mana flow is quite stable. Indeed, the Blanquer lineage is different.”
Lord Haines said.
After subduing the baseline, the duke released the circle and swung his staff without hesitation.
Then, dust rose from the ground. no,
“What is that.”
“Wow!”
My murmurs were drowned out by the admiration of the nobles. It was neither dust nor fog.
Black particles that rose in an elegant tornado were intermittently reflecting sunlight.
The prince didn’t even draw his sword and just stared at it silently.
A brief realization hit my head.
“Magnetic force.”
The peacock’s mana was magnetic.
The iron ore powder in the sand clumps together under his command and then scatters repeatedly.
for a moment. The prince’s mana reacts to metal.
– Whoops!
Duke Blanquere grinned and swung his staff harder.
Then the iron powder shouted ‘Tsar!’ It made a sound and rushed to the prince.
For a moment, his face flickered.
– Kwaang!
The sword that spread out in an instant ripped the iron veil into pieces.
I thought he blinked because he was moving too fast.
It was a speed that I couldn’t even keep up with. The prince was shot forward without delay.
What he held in his hand was a sword other than the hye sword. He immediately reached the duke’s nose.
– Whoa!
Then there was a roar of air.
Black powder stuck to the prince’s sword like worms.
The gloved left hand stopped in the air as if nailed. I could see the tip of the sword trembling.
The unexpected development opened my mouth. The onlookers quickly swallowed their breath.
The magic of the 8th grade wizard was controlling the 8th grade swordsman’s weapons.
“Is it because the prince’s magical powers are relatively weak?”
I asked urgently. Sir Haynes replied calmly.
“It must be so, but it seems that the small duke’s specialty is more delicate. His Majesty the Prince only moves metal. It’s kind of like telekinesis.”

Obviously it was.
Even during the great subjugation of the demonic beasts, the prince only fired a dagger or let it fly at him, but he did not use any more complicated abilities.
I thought that was great enough, but there was even more.
In addition to imparting magnetic force to the metal, the small peacock had excellent sensitivity to control even iron powder hidden in the sand.
In this case, the prince’s specialty was the same as being sealed.
-Changgrang!
The prince threw away his first sword without any regrets and bit himself.
A knife covered in black dust fell at the peacock’s feet.
That’s why he brought several swords.
-Sureung!
As soon as the second sword was drawn out, the shadow of the prince disappeared.
– Whoa!
With a roar, the iron powder floating in the air crashed down.
The second sword also stopped in the air, but this time it wasn’t because of magnetism.
Because the attack was too fast, the small duke gained a special skill and developed a defensive magic formula.
Red mana gushed out from the prince’s sword.
“I can’t do multiple rashes.”
Christel analyzed. I nodded.
Multiple eruption literally meant the wizard’s use of two or more spells at the same time.
It was not surprising that the duke couldn’t use it, since it was said that only a few of the high-ranking wizards had the ability.
He could not use his special skill and defense magic at once.
-Kagagak!
The peacock’s boots were pushed back. His brown hair and the tip of his wand trembled.
The prince’s magical powers and physical power were pressing him strongly.
The red mana of the two men rose like smoke.
– Get a card!
“Oh My God!”
Exclamations came from all over the audience. The prince’s sword was cutting through the shield.
I clenched my fists in surprise. There seemed to be sparks in his orange eyes.
But the expression itself was surprisingly calm.
“ね.”
The peacock exhaled through his teeth and stretched out his empty hand. Then he grabbed the prince’s sword.
Canael in the front seat hastily covered her mouth.
– Go!
-Changgrang!
“Ugh!”
As soon as the magic ceremony was turned off, the second sword was cut in two.
The nobles roared in astonishment. The prince threw away the hilt as expected.
Christel, who had thrown away the opera glasses, hit my forearm without pain.
“That’s it, right. magnet!”
“Yes, by infusing the same pole magnetic force into one sword……”
It looked like it was split.
No matter how confident you are in your skills, breaking the defense magic formula with the prince’s sword in front of you.
He was a man of great guts and of not formidable abilities.
Without being bitten, the prince drew his third sword like lightning.
He still didn’t seem to have any intention of using the sword. What are you thinking?
– Pavat!
– Chae-chaeng!
In an instant, the brooch pin that flew from the Duke’s jacket was blocked by the prince’s dagger.
The two metals trembling in the air eventually crumpled into a lump and tossed on the floor.
Meanwhile, the duke drew his sword from his waist and threw it at the prince.
– Whoa!
The two swords couldn’t face each other, trembling like magnets of the same pole.
The prince pushed hard. It was an opponent who had no choice but to do so.
Unlike the little peacock, who dripped blood from his left hand while biting his teeth, there were no cracks in the young man’s painted face.
“Where!”
The peacock shouted evil and swung the staff in his right hand.
– Whoops!
The air roared violently, and the bodies of the two men, unable to overcome their magnetism, were thrown in both directions.
The peacock’s sword flew off and slammed into the ground. The prince’s sword escaped his grasp as it was.
It was as if something invisible had stolen the cutlery.
– Awesome!
“Aww!”
People’s screams rang out.
The long sword spun like a propeller and flew towards the onlookers at high speed.
It felt like my eyes would pop out. It was pointing right towards me.
– Aww!
As soon as the sanctuary was opened, the barrier was activated.
As in the case of the Great Beast Subjugation, it seems that there was a magic applied here to protect the audience.
The sword blocked by the shield slid slowly and clattered under my feet.
I exhaled heavily and looked at the battlefield.
“You have to weave that bastard. 100 percent intentional.”
Kristel muttered bitterly.
Everyone gathered here, and the prince who landed lightly, was looking at this side.
His eyes narrowed as he understood the situation.
uh······. this is a bit dangerous
-Sureung!
Hye-gum was pulled out. There was nothing to calm my mind.
The prince fixed the hilt of the ink-colored hilt and threw the sword at the peacock, huh!?
– Whoa!
There was a bizarre sound of a magnetic force moving. Hye-gum was also a cutlery.
Even if it was a god-given weapon, it seemed that he could not escape the power of a level 8 wizard.
The little duke smiled bitterly and took the staff in his left hand.
Then he stretched out his right hand with a triumphant face. Hankerchief drew a sky blue line.
– Awesome!
“Give me, I will have it!”
The moment he ‘pretend’ and grabbed the hilt,
– Whoops!
“aaah!”
Hye-gum was on fire. The little duke let out a scream of pain and dropped his sickness.
Christel’s handkerchief turned to ashes. The spectators rose from their seats.
“dare.”
The prince’s low voice was heard.

Our vision was blocked, so we had no choice but to get up.
I lifted my head, soothing the courage to flap my wings violently.
The little peacock’s palm was melting from burning.
“Ugh, ahhh!”
It didn’t seem like a normal burn.
He howled, holding his right wrist with his left hand.
The metal powder scattered everywhere reacted to his senses and squirmed.
The prince took a step towards him. I couldn’t take my eyes off of it for even a moment.
– Wheeik!
As he stretched out his left arm, Hye Gum flew gently and landed in his hand.
The black figure was smooth as if it had been heated.
Suddenly, the glove on his right hand was removed.
The prince flicked his finger in the air with a gloomy gaze.
– Exactly!
– Aww!
“aaah!”
The peacock’s body bounced off like a bullet. Some of the audience fainted.
I quickly glanced over what had just been blown up.
The fragments of the broken sword were shining cruelly in the sunlight of June.
It would have been better if it had fallen to the floor.
Blood was dripping all over the peacock’s body with the cutlery studded. I pursed my lips.
So, the first sword that was thrown away covered in iron powder.
It looked like it had blown fire into it and exploded like a bomb.
The red-hot iron powder ‘chipped’ and burned the peacock’s collar and made a hole in it.
I hurriedly looked at the prince.
With the protection of the powerful fire attribute ether, he was not burned even in the slightest.
It seemed as if the flying pieces of iron had been blocked with magic. My suffocating heart was open.
Then the peacock’s voice was heard.
“Wait a minute, my lord… Ha, surrender.”
“Even if you regret it, you will regret it.”
– Exactly!
– Aww!
When the prince snapped his finger one more time, the lump of iron that had rolled to the duke’s bed exploded.
I shouted in amazement.
[Prince, stop!]
– Whoo-woo-woong!
And time stopped.
“·················ogue.”
“Oh my gosh······.”
A muttering like someone’s sigh was heard. I took a quick breath and looked at the prince.
The bundle of brooches and daggers that exploded with his flames turned into bright red spheres like the sun and stopped there.
It was like a CG screen.
The little duke, unable to withstand the terrifying heat in front of him, groaned and rolled his body backwards.
he didn’t die The prince stopped the explosion in the middle.
[······thank you for your effort.]
I spit out whatever came to mind.
The strength in my legs was relieved and a cold sweat was running down my back, but I couldn’t sit still.
The nobles who had not yet lost their mind were watching me and the prince.
It was, thankfully, the Marquis Duhem who broke the silence that seemed to have been poured with ice water.
His voice also trembled shallowly.
“The Duke of Blanquere has declared surrender. The winner of the duel is Prince Sedric!”
Applause erupted as if waiting. Soon there was a roar of fervor among the people.
With the tip of my index finger, I gently stroked the small head of the dapper.
are you okay. It seemed to end well.
The peacock’s limbs are attached, his eyes are fine, he’s bleeding a little, but he’s conscious.
The psychological impact is… You’ll figure it out yourself. Because it was self-inflicted. yes.
