Chapter 16: Reina’s Crisis 4

‘Keu, I’m sure that the princess is all black and blue right now, right?’

A grand seat with a superb view of the stadium.

An old man with a stiff physique buried himself in the gorgeous sofa and smiled viciously.

He was Lippie de Monarch.

He was the second most prominent prince in the Southern Empire, including the city of Lamer.

“You must have done well to the Red Reaper?”

The knight who was next to the Count answered coldly.

“I firmly paid the share he was promised and sent him to the Castia Kingdom.”

“Yes, good job.”

There was no evidence of the conspiracy.

No matter how stubbornly the princess protested, the bet was already placed.

“Any chance for any dumb mercenary riders to enter?”

“All the clans and mercenaries in the arena were informed not to intervene in the Duel. There will be no one willing to defeat the Count, the Lord of Lamer and the owner of the arena.”

“Good good! Now all I have to do is wait and see the results?”

It was three years ago when the Monarch had heard rumors about the princess.

It was the time when rumors about the beauty of the princess surfaced.

She was young and beautiful, above all, he could just go and place his hand on a prestigious princess.

Which was why he was looking for an opportunity to make her his own.

Knowing that Reina had a huge debt in the Imperial bank, he began to use the banking system and encouraged the Imperial bank to ask for repayment.

And the beautiful slender bird got caught in his trap.
