Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 46: Behind the Stage of the Tournament
Autumn tournaments are just counting days away.The organizers seem to be busy preparing for the need for this tournament and ensuring smoothness and safety as the tournament progresses.
well, the other participants also seemed to be preparing themselves.some were practicing magic in the examination arena, some were practicing merchants in the Academy Dojo, and various other activities.
I myself have no intention of winning the match, so there is no need for much preparation.at most I will lose after three matches.
the school is also on holiday so that students can prepare themselves to the maximum.it is really a festive Sunday!
now I'm gathering with my sister, Anna, and princess Aurellia for rehearsal. as I expected, my two brothers have indeed grown and become even stronger!
"Hey Issac, aren't you practicing?" Anna who had just finished her magic training session came to me. followed by Sasha nee-san and Misha nee-san.
"No. honestly I was lazy. right I also did not intend to win from the beginning." a twitch appeared on the corner of Anna's lips. ehhh I could also see veins appearing on my brother's forehead.
"Let's Anna. Our sister is like that. she doesn't even have the motivation to move on with her life." Oh! this is a satire or a murder threat.okay Misha nee-san, put down your sword!!
true too, Anna and my two brothers already know each other Turns out. I don't know how detailed they can get acquainted.It's possible that my two brothers had attended a party and met him.
yahh, thank goodness that they can be familiar. I'm so happy to see them joking and laughing at each other. Sorry yes, only now can I join you guys.in the future, I will be able to, we may face each other as opponents.
well, as long as I can laugh with them, I will make the most of this moment.
"Sir Issac, are you thinking of something?" Princess Aurellia suddenly patted my shoulder as I was enjoying the triple beautiful girl chatting.
"No. nothing. I'm just enjoying their beauty!" Princess Aurellia even brought her face closer to mine! Oi stop, that's embarrassing!
"Is that so? but your gaze is...." The princess kept looking at my face. Hey, that's a shame to know!
"No, forget it. You won't even tell me anything, will you?" Uwaahh, this guy is so scary! does he have the ability to read minds or anything like that.
but it doesn't matter.I can't hide all the things. let alone princess Aurellia whom I know is a person who has a sharp instinct.

"Once, so about five more days the Fall Tournament will start soon huh."
in a corner of the capital city, several men gathered around a woman who seemed to have been lifeless.Maybe her life had gone due to such a great shock after being 'sprained' by them.
one of them decided to burn the woman's corpse to ashes as it disturbed their view.
"well, that's it. Our job is to disrupt the tournament and kill some nobles among them, right? hehh is indeed worth the payment, but the risk is also terrible you know..."
one of them chuckled, "well as long as the pay is appropriate why not. we don't have the luxury of being picky anyway."
"alright, we will do as the client asks.we do not have much time.maximum the day after tomorrow, all of you must be ready. now disperse!!"
in an instant, they disappeared from that place.
****
Princess Aurellia suddenly felt a chill run from her spine. eh? whatisthis? will something dangerous happen? he himself wondered about it.
Issac who saw princess Aurellia acting strangely decided to ask.
"What's the Princess? do you feel anything strange?" the princess shook her head many times.
"it's okay, I just feel tired." Issac nodded.Of course his facial expression did not say so. As Issac had guessed, the princess might have a skill that made her survival mechanism active if something threatened her.
it would be better if the princess could tell it but Issac did not intend to dig any further. Instead he wondered, what incident will befall this poor princess next?
should he investigate something? it seems like yes, then he will rely on Charles and that person to conduct an investigation.he will write some instructions later.Now, let's calm down the princess first by inviting her to drink cold tea in the cafeteria. with Anna and her two sisters.
