“……Uu” (Marione)

“Marione! Marione, are you alright?!” (???)

The duel between Marione and Leoas finished Eveam and the others rushed towards Marione who had lost consciousness They then carried Marione outside the crater and proceeded to treat him

After a while, Marione regained consciousness

“Your…… Your Majesty……” (Marione)

Marione had been fighting up until now, and was conte his fist and said with an apologetic face:

“My…… My poas not enough…… I deeply apologise……” (Marione)

Marione was expecting to hear harsh words and criticis swift victory However, when Leowald got serious, it had ended with hi the decisive blow

Getting defeated so soundly although he was a part of 《Cruel》, Marione could not say anything in return if he were to be reprimanded However, Eveam only shook her head in silence and said:

“Don’t say such things!” (Eveam)

All of Marione’s negative thoughts were swept away by Eveam’s words

“……Your Majesty?” (Marione)

“It is indeed a shaer have any faith in you!” (Eveam)

“…………” (Marione)

“Rather than thinking about how you lost; youthat far If he were to participate in any duels afterwards, ould have a good grasp of his abilities His next opponent will have an easier time” (Eveam)

“Your Majesty……” (Marione)

Marione’s glooht sh his heart Slowly, Marione closed his eyes and uttered:

“Your words…… are too much for someone like me Next time…… I’ll definitely win for you, Your Majesty” (Marione)

“Aa, I’ll be expecting it!” (Eveam)

At those words Marione’s eyes slowly opened as he sain

Eveam entrusted the treatment of Marione to one of the subordinates present and stared at the center of the crater in preparation for the next battle

The second round of the duel was beginning

“Good job, Father!” (Leglos)

At Leowald’s victory, the 『Gabranth』 sprung up in celebration Everyone pumped their fists up in joy

And the one who shouted the los

“Hht” (Leowald)

Leowald answered with a satisfied nod

“Uoo~ I want to fight soon as well!” (Lenion)

So said the Second Prince Lenio His body was throbbing and he could not help but s the heat of the previous battle

“Well then, how is it, Kukulia and Miht is like” (Leowald)

While Leoas celebrating his victory, so seen a real duel for theer of possibly losing one’s life shocked them

“……Does Father always fight under circumstances like this?” (Kukulia)

The First Princess Kukulia asked this She was the spitting iht brown, short-cut hair

She inherited the slightly sharp eyes of her father, even at a young age Everyone would also agree that she had cute features, which she probably inherited from her mother, Blantha

“Yes, he does In war, one’s life can easily be lost That is why everyone is fighting with everything they have: so that they won’t die” (Leowald)

“…………” (Kukulia)

“Of course you can’t help but feel fear However, you— wait, not just you, but Mimir as well said that both of you wanted to see this with your own eyes Originally, I didn’t intend on letting you come with us to the duel, however, I allowed you to Do you knohy?” (Leowald)

Kukulia and Mimir shaked their heads

“Well, that is to say, this battle will decide the future of our race Moreover, precisely it is because it is this particular duel that I believe that you are able to observe it Also, I wanted the both of you to witness this turning point in our history with your own eyes” (Leowald)

“……Why?” (Kukulia)

“It is because you are the hope of the next era” (Leowald)

While it is true that now, Leowald is the one ruling the country, eventually, soh solos or the second son Lenion were to perish during the war, those successors would be either Kukulia or Mimir

“However, should the youths that were to rise to the top not know about the realities of war, problems would undoubtedly arise It would be even more noticeable because of the current era” (Leowald)

That hy he wanted to show them how horrible war could really be He wanted to show theh his battle

Regardless of whether or not the 『Gabranth』were to win or lose this duel, it did not change the fact that this was a big turning point for their race That hy Leowald judged that experiencing this turning point first-hand was very important

Leowald softly put his hands on top of Mimir’s and Kukulia’s heads

“Thus, watch carefully and learn to live like those who are facing this fight!” (Leowald)

“……I understand” (Kukulia)

“……Yes” (Mimir)

Leowald nodded with satisfaction at both of their replies

“Next up are…… you guys” (Leowald)

Leowald directed his gaze towards the next fighters

“Ma, if it’s like that, I’ll be going, then” (???)

Saying this while scratching her head in irritation was Rarashi+k

“Well, I’rowth of my disciples” (Rarashi+k)

Rarashi+k glanced behind her at Arnold and Muir Their faces were stiff with nervousness Especially Muir, who looked like she could collapse at any time as her face paled

This ti in the duel were these three

“Don’t be so nervous, Arnold No matter what opponent we face, I’ll beat theht!” (Leowald)

Although Arnold understood that it was Leowald of all people saying this, it did not dispel the fact that the fate of his race hinged on this battle Arnold never expected that he would be asked to participate in a war of such great importance No matter how much he had trained for this, it was only natural for his body to tremble in nervousness

Muir’s body was shaking rigidly as well “If possible, I really don’t want to fight”, thought Muir Although she had been following Hiiro’s parting words and trained rigorously in order to becoe made her shrink from fear
