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 .

“Keukkkkk!”

“What is it that is making you feel so good?”

Count Monarch was laughing alone . The elder priest of a high class approached .

“Ah, Bishop Pascal!”

Count Monarch rose from his seat and greeted the elderly priest .

Pascal was a senior priest of the El Kassel, where Monarch invited him and played as a notary for the bet with princess Reina .

“If it is something good, can’t you let me know? Joy multiplies only when shared, right?”

“Hahaha, it isn’t such a huge deal . I just laughed…”

Bishop Pascal was a very knowledgeable man even in the dark world .

Had the Count said that he played all the things to ‘Want the princess for my own’, then he would have been completely against it .

He would have severely condemned the noble .

“Must have been hard for you, coming all this way . ”

“It was . If I think about the donations you make every year, I wouldn’t mind using my legs to move . ”

“Hahaha, don’t say those…”

Count Monarch was laughing outside, but he was feeling bitter inside .

The donations to the denominations were not in good faith .

Because of the gaining political and social recognition, he donated the money with tears in his eyes .

“But, when will the notarized fight begin?”

“We placed it to the last, as it is going to be the most exciting one . ”

“Huhum, that so?”

The two men talked twice and then turned their heads to the arena where the ninth match was taking place .
