Becoming a Witch in Another World
Chapter 27: The Duel
I asked Lulu and my teacher to return to the city while Richard and I had to face the three most important people in the kingdom.
First was the woman I had met before, a twintail blonde woman named Vermilion Lydia. He was the knight commander of this kingdom.
The two white-haired women whose entire appearance wore the same color, she had snow-white skin as well as a calming aura, she was Serena Esfa, who was the one who was the most beautiful, the one who is responsible for the holy knights or more worthy of my name is the Oracle of the Goddess Nermala.
And another one of course the queen of this kingdom, Kalina Elysium.
These three people were the ones who brought this kingdom into being as it is now, I wouldn't say that women have high authority or anything like that because it's honestly strange as well that men are useless in this kingdom.
I just quietly watched as Richard explained the situation that was happening in the city, for myself I would rather go home and relax there immediately.
"So, the thing that Miss Oracle said finally happened as well," at the queen's response, Serena simply nodded her assent while Vermilion stared at me and asked.
"I heard you were a student of Miss Heliet?'
"I'm sorry I haven't identified myself, my name is Aksa I'm an ordinary adventurer."
The three end up looking at me like a carnivorous animal hungry for food.
"Interesting, you're the messenger of Goddess Nermala," obviously if Serena knew about it, even so.
"If you say the envoy seems too excessive, I only have a little relationship with the Goddess."
"Like lovers?" tanyanya back.
I thought of her as a mother, but I wanted to keep this a secret.
"No, I just know each other."
"Suspicious."
What is suspicious?
Now it's Vermilion's turn.
"Your hand seems to be trained with a sword, are you sure you don't want to be a knight?"
"I just have the ideal of living a quiet life with my teacher as a drugstore owner."
"You love your teacher."
I can only cough.
The last one is the Queen.
"You saved this city, whatever gift you asked me to give, try to tell me."
"Thank you for the offer, when I have a request in the future I will ask for it."
The queen smiled knot.
"You're smart too, you want to make my offer a trump card in the future."
"I'd rather use a good opportunity at the most crucial of times."
Compared to me, instead of the three of them being very scary, Richard even seemed to only smile bitterly as if he wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
Vermilion said to the both of us.
"You've been working hard, for Richard will be promoted to captain make some groups and find the people of the Oracle."
"Good."
"And as for Aksa, I will force you to join the knights unless you can defeat me in a sword duel."
"As long as I can get out of here I don't mind."
We went to the place where the knights usually practiced, saw all of us knights saluting.
Vermilion took out two swords which he gave me, while everyone was watching from the sidelines, I was dealing with him one-on-one.
I held the sword with both hands and then shot forward.
The ear-splitting clanging sound rang out as our swords collided, I picked up from the left side while Vermilion took the other side, instead, it's been a long time since I've fought like this as if it reminds me of the past when I met that girl.
"Wake up Aksa, isn't that just your sword skills?" said the girl showed Shinai in her hand.
*Shinai: bamboo swords used in the Kendo sport.
