"Balder."

Glenn's red eyes were directed at Balder, who lowered his eyes to the ground as if he had just looked at the sun.

"This is your final warning."

"I-I apologize."

Balder stepped back and lowered his head.

Whir.

Maintaining his storming pressure, Glenn looked at Raon and Raden one after another.

"I've allowed the conditions from both of you. The Sword Duel will be held in one week at the great training ground."

"Yes."

"Thank you!"

Raon and Raden bowed at once.

"The discussion is over. You shall leave."

"Yes."

Since Raon had said all that he wanted to say, he left the audience chamber.

"A Sword Duel, huh. You are taking our side in the end."

Balder stepped forward and smiled.

"Even if he is a talented son of Sylvia, he is still a collateral. We will show the clear difference between a member of the direct line and a collateral. Raden, I'm sure you can do it, right?"

"Of course. I became an intermediate level Expert through this mission. I only need one hand to win against a guy that has just reached novice level Expert.

Raden and Balder narrowed their eyes and smiled, the exact same way. They truly were a father and his son.

"How about just killing him during the Sword Duel? It will prevent the arrogant collateral guys' rudeness in the future."

"No, that's not a good idea as everyone will be watching. It's better to disable him and destroy his hopes. Mother and son both becoming disabled, with their energy center and mana circuit destroyed, sounds great. Just imagine it."

Balder giggled—as if malice was the only thing he had towards Sylvia and Raon, who were actually his little sister and his nephew.

"Certainly, that's the case."

Raden nodded his head with a smile. The father and son were talking as if he had already won the Sword Duel and Raon was in the palm of his hand.

"You shall return as well."

"Yes."

"See you again in a week."

Raden and Balder left the audience chamber, brimming with smiles.

"My lord."

Roenn finally stood in front of Glenn after everyone had left.

"Young master Raon is a novice level Expert, and the young master Raden is already an intermediate level Expert. Isn't it going to be dangerous since their levels are clearly different?"

Roenn's voice was lower than usual since he had taken a liking to Raon.

"A swordsman's fight isn't decided simply by their levels or the techniques they have learned. The nature of the person is the most important factor."

"I'm aware of that fact as well, but..."

"Of course, it's true that there is a difference in level between them. However, Raon's eyes were peaceful. They were filled with confidence, which was different from the arrogance or overconfidence of fighting against an opponent he had already won against. How can I not trust him after seeing those eyes?"
