“If you say that, will he hear you?”
I blushed at his words.
“It’s a national rule to get involved like this while watching a game, you know? Your Highness is the only one who’s sitting with your back straight, not having fun.”
[The God of Knowledge, Hessed, agrees with you and raises doubts about his sincerity, saying he saves face even in places like this.]
[The God of Art, Mond, whispers that Kyle’s stiffness will be the same in bed.]
[The God of Destruction, Ciel, bites off Monde’s shin.]
[The God of Knowledge, Hessed, is proud of his armor.]
“National… rule?”
“It exists. Something like that.”
I stuck out my tongue as if I wouldn’t tell him as he raised an eyebrow, then I focused on the game again.
[The God of Art, Mond, and the God of Destruction, Ciel, are having a dogfight.]
“Ooh! Okay! Good job!”
[The God of Art, Mond, bites off Ciel’s tail.]
[The God of Benevolence, Oman, strikes the whip and mediates between the two Gods.]
The Gods seem to be as noisy as the situation ahead.
Looking at me, I heard his laugh again.
Ah. Why am I so embarrassed, I wonder.
It was when Noah’s sword pierced the last goblin.
“Your Highness. That is…?”
Suddenly, an unusual shadow cast over the martial arts hall, and a grotesque sound was heard.
“Screeeeeeeeeech!”
Shane came running from behind when I looked at Kyle with puzzled eyes. He must have been hectic as the general manager of the founding festival.
“Your Highness! Ah, the Saintess is also here. Anyway, there’s a big problem.”
“A big problem?”
Kyle’s eyebrows twitched.
Shane said, catching his breath.
“The magic lock was destroyed and black wyvern, which will appear in the third act on the third day, escaped.”
Screeeeeechㅡ!
And then the screams echoed through the arena again.
[The God of Destruction, Ciel, glances at the God of Destiny, Bellatrix.]
[The God of Destiny, Bellatrix, strokes Ciel’s head as if to say not to worry.]
“Because it’s a dangerous creature, even when sent out against first-class mercenaries, it must be given medicine before appearing, but the problem is that they haven’t been given medicine yet…”
At Shane’s words, I jumped up and looked at the martial arts hall.
“I’m checking on Your Highness while being busy…”
“I told you I got it, how noisy.”
“I ran as far as I could, how sad it is that I’m treated coldly.”
[The God of Knowledge, Hessed, criticizes Kyle for his heartless side.]
First class mercenaries were at least sword expert level or higher. Compared to them, the apprentice knights were newbie boys.
“W-What is that!”
“Isn’t that black wyvern?”
I could hear people screaming everywhere. It seemed to be showing up in the eyes of some people.
“W-What!”
“Didn’t they only appear in the third act on the third day?”
The tall shade was torn apart, revealing the huge black wyvern facing off against the apprentice knights. One side of the black wyvern’s wing was torn, and its snake-like eyes looked very ferocious.
The apprentice knights all walked backwards with frozen faces.
Even from what I read in the book, wyverns are very tricky monsters, and among them, black wyverns are so powerful that they’re called ‘little dragons’.
I was wondering if it was going well, and when this incident happened, a sense of tension swept through the hall.
“What about the knights.”
“I have contacted the imperial palace. They will come running right away.”
“It’s too late.”
It took an instant for Kyle to get up and run forward.
[The God of Destruction, Ciel, pants and wags his tail violently.]
As Kyle said, more than half of the apprentice knights would be dead by the time the Imperial knights arrive.
“Your Highness!”
I heard Shane screaming from the side.
My hands were sweaty at the sight of Kyle walking away.
Screeeeeechㅡ!
Kyle jumped up to the railing and jumped straight into the fighting arena where the wyvern was.
There was no hesitation in Kyle’s movements. His red cloak flew off, and in his hand was a longsword tinged with blue.
“Oohhhh!!”
“It’s His Highness the Crown Prince!!”
“His Highness Prince Kyle!!”
[The God of Benevolence, Oman, recognizes Kyle’s charisma.]
[The God of Knowledge, Hessed, complains that this is a violation.]
When he appeared in the middle of the martial arts hall, the atmosphere changed rapidly. The crowd who had been sitting and watching stood up.
My heart was beating so loudly that it leaked out.
“Y-Your Highness…”
Kyle quietly ordered the apprentice knight commander, who had turned white.
“Stand back.”
The apprentice knight hurriedly told the boys.
“It’s an unprecedented surprise martial arts event.”
Shane muttered as he looked at Kyle in the fighting field.
‘It must mean that Kyle’s power is overwhelming.’
Noah also judged the situation and quickly stepped back.
However, the wyvern attacked right away as if it had no intention of sending out the apprentice knights.
Screeeeeechㅡ!
As the black wyvern’s spiked wing grazed, the door the apprentice knights were trying to enter collapsed.
I hurried to the ledge where Kyle had jumped earlier. Then Shane came and grabbed me and stopped me.
“Saintess. No matter how much you’re worried about His Highness, don’t jump down!!”
“I’m not trying to jump.”
I bent down deeply and grabbed the upper part of the destroyed wall.
“And I’m not worried about His Highness at all.”
I can’t be worried about the sword master who hunts dragons.
[The God of Destruction, Ciel, reveals his heart to you.]
I closed my eyes and focused. So that my will can be conveyed to the earth. Plants began to sprout from the lower part of the stone wall.
“Miracle!”
“The Saintess makes a road.”
It was a power that only divine power had, which was more special than normal holy power. I first learned about it while purifying stones during the hunting festival, and I had tested it in ruins before.
‘There were times when I thought about opening a flower shop with this ability.’
Actually, I didn’t want to show this ability in front of people, but now, saving Noah and the boys was my priority.
The vines of the plants grew rapidly and sprouted toward the wall in layers like ropes, and I called out to Noah.
“Come on up!”
Then the apprentice knights started climbing up the vines.
Screeeeeechㅡ!
“How dare you look somewhere in front of me?”
Slashㅡ!
The black wyvern tried to attack again, probably feeling that its toys were running away, but was staggered by Kyle’s blade attack.
“Huft, huft… Huft…”
”T-Thank you! Saintess!”
In the meantime, about ten apprentice knights rode up on vines.
[The God of Love, Odyssey, breathes a sigh of relief when his one-pick knight goes up.]
Kyle was buying time by controlling the intensity so that all of the apprentices could escape. For the safety of the people inside was at risk if the sword master and the black wyvern were to fight with all their might in the space of the martial arts hall.
“Noah! Hold my hand.”
I held Noah’s hand as he rode up the last.
“Saintess!”
“Noah. Are you okay?”
Noah looked at my worried self and nodded with a firm expression.
“You fought well. His Highness will finish it now.”
I let out a sigh of relief when I finally saw them climb up to Noah.
What happened after that was rather.
“Whoaaaaaaa!!”
“Long live the Crown Prince!!”
It was an unreal sight that even I couldn’t take my eyes off.
[The God of Destruction, Ciel, puts on an arrogant expression and succeeds in poking his forehead with a wad of cotton.]
Every time he swung his long sword, the sharp blades pierced the black wyvern’s thick iron hide mercilessly.
Kyle attacked the wyvern, which was ten times, no, twenty times bigger than himself, with an indifferent face, as if he were dealing with a passing chicken.
“Wow…”
Noah, too, opened his mouth as if his jaw would fall out.
[The God of Art, Mond, puts his hands in his pockets while unknowingly trying to clap.]
‘That’s right. Kyle was such a man.’
His final blow pierced the wyvern’s heart.
Kyle jumped over the head of the wyvern who struggled for the last time, unable to acknowledge its death even though its heart was pierced, and slashed his sword down.
Baamㅡ
As the wyvern collapsed, dust spread in all directions. For an instant, the hall became quiet as if cold water had been poured on it.
[The God of Benevolence, Oman, gulps.]
[The God of Love, Odyssey, has his hands stay still inside the corn snacks for a long time.]
[The God of Knowledge, Hessed, is nervously shaking his legs.]
My heart was pounding.
It was when his name kept trying to come out through my gaping mouth.
Through the dust, Kyle’s figure became clear, standing on top of the body of the fallen wyvern with one hand driven into the wyvern’s blade.
“Oohhhhh!!”
“Whoaaaaaaaaaa!!”
In an instant, there was a roar so loud that the large arena was blown away.
[The God of Love, Odyssey, sips soda.]
I could see his red hair waving in the dust that was blowing.
I met Kyle’s eyes.
Thump, thump, my heart was beating strong.
Suddenly, his lips moved coldly, and I saw the shape of his mouth.
[The God of Art, Mond, blesses you.]
I could understand the characters that the shape of his mouth created.
‘Did you did that while looking at me?’
Huh…?
He opened his mouth again.
‘The national rule.’
At that moment, my face turned red. A faint smile crept onto his lips.
[The God of Benevolence, Oman, is pleased.]
Soon he pulled out the sword stuck in the wyvern.
“Wooooww!!”
“Long live the Crown Prince!!”
There was a shout that seemed to leave the arena again. In the midst of that roar, Kyle’s red eyes were focused exclusively on me.
