Chapter 57: 035 I -2 (Part One)

-Yourto put a stop to this?

-The condition of his highness the First I of you to stop this duel, your hter, Alice, said those words

The personal physicians of the First Ie his mind, but the Holy Emperor, Kelt Olfolse, didn’t want to stop this duel

The truth was that he felt fifty-fifty about it

He orried about his first grandson,so the half of his heart wanted to stop the duel But there was his desire to find out the truth about his seventh grandson, too

If the boy really pulled off such ed to hunt down a Progenitor Vampire, then… he’d be someone who possessed the status of a Saint He would be someone with the talent to become the ‘inheritor of the Holy Emperor’s throne’

‘I’m sorry, archbishop’

It didn’t matter even if he came across as selfish From Kelt Olfolse’s perspective, he needed a successor capable of protecting the denizens of the eainst the vampires

The First Imperial Prince wouldn’t last a year at this rate And Kelt was too advanced in age, so no one could tell just when he’d depart from this world as well

He wanted to confirive himself another chance to think about the succession issue

“This coward, Allen Olfolse, adratulate you, my noble older brother, for your victory Well, everyone A round of applause, please!”

However, the Seventh Imperial Prince sian clapping his hands too

“Everyone, applause!”

On top of that, he was coaxing the aristocrats present to applaud as well Everyone inside the training hall now had durandpa, you clap your hands too!”

Even the Holy E the same as the others The Imperial Prince must’ve taken after a certain someone because he seenity to a stray mutt or some such

This was no sacred duel between the two imperial princes No, this had devolved into a mere playti forward to this duel, so naturally, anger rushed up to his head But just before he could roar out at the top of his lungs, he heard the sound of so away

He turned his head to look and spotted a girl with silver hair following after the Seventh Imperial Prince’s example to clap her hands Just then, so too

The culprits this time were Count Jenald and the citizen’s representative, Gril Boththe aristocrats

The Holy Emperor stared at the noises came from elsewhere, this time from a much closer location

Alice, as dazedly standing next to hi away But was that all? Even the archbishop was hurriedly applauding as well

Only then did Kelt Olfolse realise what their intentions were

The silver-haired girl and Count Jenald, as well as the citizen’s representative, were all trying to help the Seventh Imperial Prince Meanwhile, Raphael and Alice were also atte to end this so-called duel and rush to the First Imperial Prince’s aid

Now that even the archbishop began clapping, the other aristocrats in the venue had no choice but to start doing the sans of aardness

All the people co Gradually though, dissatisfied expressions began floating up on their faces

Kelt Olfolse was about to roar out after his rage boiled over, but the ated far too much for that now

‘I can’t step in anyaze over to the Seventh I like this?

Was he trying to avoid this duel at any cost?

If not, was he worried about his older brother, the First Imperial Prince Luan, and decided to cancel this duel even at the cost of his own huhts were too naïve, Allen’

Kelt Olfolse helplessly ed his temples From his perspective, and undoubtedly from the First Imperial Prince’s too, what the boy did was clearly tomfoolery, a naked provocation, and perhaps even a thinly veiled insult

The proof ith the First Iher now

‘Looks like I ht really have to step in now’

Kelt Olfolse tutted softly

(TL: back to 1st person POV)

“Well, grandpa, you clap your hands too!”

I spoke while looking at the Holy Emperor Kelt Olfolse

He seemed completely du

Hiyaaa, even I think this was one hell of a crazy situation There shouldn’t be a nani even more extraordinary thanon second, since I was doing the right thing for nani was it? I ht? Yup, no doubt about that

“Well, then Now that the et back to the more enjoyable banq…”

I reflexively ducked

A wooden sword brushed past above my head with nary a hair’s breadth

“Dear mommy! Older brother?!”

I hurriedly shi+eldedup at Luan Theoe-filled expression became even more distorted afterwards “You bastard! You finally even dare to insult me?!”

“What horsesht are you… Eh-hmm, what could you possiblyout for you, so I…”

I got flustered and had a ue just then, but that only see to fly further out theinstead “Did you just callon, that’s not what I said”

“You Goddamn punk of a btch…!”

“Brother, why don’t we uphold our princely dignity and…”

Luan’s eyes shi+fted He then took a sith his wooden sword again

This was getting really dangerous I currently didn’t even have round in an attee the sword

Luan then bent his body While relying on a bizarre movement, he thrust his wooden sword accurately towards my face

The intent behind the attack was so sharp that getting struck by it would surely result ina few teeth

“da sht is this…?!”

I quickly summoned the shovel out of my item

The wooden sword collided with the shovel at the very next moment

Luan’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and everyone else inside the training hall froze up right where they stood

“A shovel?”

Their reactions weren’t that surprising, since aa shovel of all things They probably were freaking out However, the gasps of shock quite different in nature from emotions of fluster leaked out fro utterly stunned expressions

“Where did that shovel…?”

“Was that subspace azes of the aristocrats instantly shi+fted over to the court roup hurriedly shook their heads, having the same somewhat flustered expressions as them

“B-but there wasn’t any flow of Mana just now! What his highness used wasn’t ic However, we also believe that what happened was not reliant on a ic tool either In such cases, we believe it was [Divine Aura]”

Luan narrowed his eyes before taking another sith his wooden sword
