Chapter 95 - The Cheating Prince (2/2)

In the process of blabbering this nonsense, Prince Ereland tried to reach out for Lyn again. But Lyn didn't let him and swiftly moved aside, Lyn raised her voice, ”Somebody got caught cheating, can one of the judges please examine Prince Ereland's blade.”

Lyn's rejection of the man was already bad enough, let alone the words she just said. This action of hers caused Prince Ereland's humiliation amongst the townsfolk. So, when the man's head Knight charged towards Lyn, it wasn't surprising.

Lyn could easily have moved, but she remained still. Using what little strength he had in his body despite the effects of the drug taking place. Kazuya suppressed it all and got on his feet. He lunged forward and trusted his spear towards the man, ”With all due respect, you already lost to Rhys the last round. What makes you think you can re-enter the ring again?”

”The Prince pride,” the man muttered.

Kazuya laughed, ”Pride? What sort of pride does that guy have left after cheating, and then his head Knight attacking the Princess?”

”How can you still move?” Ereland cursed.

His lips curve to a smile, ”You know, a man in my position is used to being poisoned,” he's seen it all before. Many people, even long before he became the ambassador here hold a deep grudge against him. Their grudges, however, are mainly based on their personal feelings. He's never done anything to harm them. It's human nature to feel envious of the strong, while he may not have a good social background. People envied his strength.

But even for somebody like him who is used to poison. It still took some time for his body to adjust. People overheard the exchange and started whispering. An elderly man stepped out of the judging panel and made his way over.

”Prince Ereland, may we please examine your blade?”

”How dare you,” Ereland exclaimed, ”Do you know exactly how much this sword is worth? The sword is worth more than the lives of everybody here. Somebody like you cannot touch--,” Ereland's arrogant words fell short when Rhys appeared and easily removed the blade from the man's hands.

”So heavy,” Rhys said annoyed, ”How can anybody use this in battle? It's a weapon that can only be used in display,” he trailed off, ”Don't tell me you found a way to cheat here too, how ridiculous.”

If Prince Ereland wasn't embarrassed before then, he was now. The man seemed to be trembling, and he stood frozen on the spot. Rhys walked over to the elderly man and placed the weapon down on the ground. It didn't take long for the man to examine the blade.

”Indeed, there is poison here,”

The crowd gasped - and a menacing aura seemed to wrap around them.

”It's one thing for him to make us suffer.”

”And now he's even harming the guests?”

”This man has no bottom line.”
