12-57 Gonkurrenz

When Jin arrived at the plaza, a lot of people had already gathered in the arena even though it was only 8 o’clock.

The word about the Gonkurrenz had already spread like wildfire.

“Hmm, so you decided to not run away.”

Jin, as well as Viscount Georg Randol had already arrived.

“Since this is the long-awaited Gonkurrenz, it seemed that a few more people are interested in participating. You don’t mind, do you?”

“No, I don’t mind.”

“Hmm, you’ve got courage, I give you that.”

Jin asked Georg, who was about to turn around and leave.

“How is Elsa doing?”

“Hmm? Are you curious? She’s fine, … see.”

Georg jerked his chin and pointed away. Jin looked in the direction he pointed. There were the Viscount’s soldiers … no, Elsa was sitting in between two Automatas at the front row of the arena.

“I happen to be the military adviser to the Imperial Army, which means I have my hands on the latest Automatas and golems. If you want to forfeit, this is the time.”

However, Jin only slightly frowned without saying a word. Instead, Reinhardt that was by Jin’s side retorted.

“Uncle, you’re going to be humiliated in public. All the Automatas in our kingdom don’t stand a chance against Jin’s, even if we bundled all of them together.”

However, Georg turned a deaf ear to Reinhardt’s admonition. He walked away without looking over his shoulder.

“Jin, I heard!”

When Jin went to the seat designated for participants, her Majesty the Empress approached.

“It appears some indiscretions had occurred.”

Jin turned toward the Empress with a bitter expression.

“Yes, that’s right. My schedule went crazy.”

“I apologize for the Viscount’s attitude.”

Jin panicked when her Majesty the Empress bowed to apologize.

“Oh, no, please raise your head. I’m not too concerned … with that, but anyway, it’s not your Majesty’s fault. It was my blunder for not being able to clearly explain it to the Viscount.”

“I’m quite relieved to hear that. Please don’t hate our kingdom. I intend to take appropriate measures against the Viscount in accordance with the law.”

Jin did not request the Empress to show mercy for the Viscount.

“Insulting the kingdom’s guest of honor is a serious crime punishable by law. However, I did not receive any reports regarding the incident on the day it happened ….”

Jin did not have any intension for the Viscount to be punished, so he did not report it. It was similar to the incident where Marcus ridiculed Prince Ernest.

“Honestly, I embrace the idea of having Gonkurrenz. This way, your true ability will be widely known.”

“Even if it results in the defeat of golems and Automatas of this country?”
