Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 50: Likes Sasha's Mind
"tch, why could that kid fail!"
In the VIP room, Gustave Conrad became very frustrated when he saw Frans defeat happening before his eyes.It might be fine if Frans lost to the man Gustave thought was strong.
but he lost to the Starfall, the weakest of the Randall family! why could that be?! this isn't funny! to him Issac was a trash that disturbed the light sheen of the nobles.His entire actions did not at all describe how a noble should be.
that is why he considers that Issac is an irregularity that must be removed.
Gustave threw his gaze toward Geitz who had not fully recovered from his defeat earlier.Both mentally or physically were both injured.but how could Gustave be aware of it.
"Geitz, didn't you say that the child's talent was not flashy at all!? Then why did Frans lose to that kid?!"
Geitz who was still angry over his defeat was eager to punch Gustave in the face.but not so. if he really did that, his position would be lost in his faction.
"Even if you ask, I don't know either. When I was in Randall's territory, he always lost when training to match with his two brothers.it seems like he's getting a little stronger."
Gustave again clicked his tongue.he was clearly dissatisfied with Geitz's reply.
"But this is rather interesting.didn't he get the title of Baron from the king after successfully saving the princess from the ambush of the monsters? at least it proves that he's strong enough to protect a princess."
Alongside Gustave, Bernard Rutsell, heir to the Earl of Rutsell family tried to give his opinion. Geitz shook his head.
"The story was not like that. helping Princess Aurellia was the senior adventurers and the head of the Romeon Guild who took the initiative to catch up with them while reading the unnatural movements of monsters. I guess that bastard just came along to make his own name famous."
Bernard casually leaned his back against the chair then placed both of his hands behind his head.
"Is that so? well it doesn't matter either. I'm just wondering if a 13-year-old would think of doing that."
as he downed his wine, Bernard continued,
"Well, let's keep an eye on her movements continuously while measuring how strong and threatening she is. Anyway, she still belongs to the Randall family and even a Baron. he also has a good image in the eyes of the King. A half-baked plan to get rid of him will only bring disaster for us."
Gustave immediately accepted the proposal.
"It looks like it's better. Bernard, I'll leave the boy's supervision to you. You can take any action related to his surveillance."
Bernard nodded at Gustave's instructions. "Understood, sir."
after that they immediately continued the party while watching the other matches.
****
I finally managed to defeat Frans in my first match. Frankly Frans is strong.maybe equivalent to Misha nee-san in the realm of swordsmanship.it seems like she spent a lot of time to continue to hone her skills.
I don't know how Frans felt whether he was angry or sad when I defeated him, but somehow I saw a satisfied expression on his face.
well I guess my friend will add one later.
I went straight back to the audience seat.The eyes of the students and teachers were fixed on me. Well, don't look at me like I'm an alien okay!
"Hey, Is! since when did you become so strong?! you can even dodge all of the Albatross' attacks calmly."
I just smiled wryly hearing that from Misha.
"Trust me, I wasn't that calm when I overcame the attack.One of the steps, and I'll be battered by the attack."
"If it was Misha, it would definitely be able to defeat her faster than me." uuuhh Misha nee-san's face Blushed! the funny!! maybe if alone I'll just push her into bed!
meanwhile Sasha was a bit pouting. eh why huh? well if you win I'll give you a pat on the head okay?
this time Sasha will be fighting Keyn Hill.he is the son who will inherit the Hill family, one of the three influential Knight families in the kingdom.
well I don't like his nature.he's like any other noble child.he is indeed strong.but even there are still many who are stronger than him.When he loses, he will directly call his father on the grounds 'avenging' for insulting him.
such trash turned out to still exist despite this Isekai.
let's see what that Hill's gonna do.
****
"Hoi Sasha, let's bet.if I win, sleep tonight with me." so said Keyn Hill when he and Sasha had faced each other.
sasha's face showed a disgusted expression.
"I'm sorry, but I already have a guy I like. You're not my type anyway."
"Oh yeah? can I know who the guy you like is?" Keyn kept trying to calm down but anger flared in his chest.
No kidding! who is that guy she likes?! he had been waiting for three years to get it but was rejected outright? even a look of disdain appeared on the girl's face!
"I'm sorry but it's none of your business. You don't need to know the ins and outs of my personal life."
This time Keyn Hill could no longer hide his anger.His face was flushed red.
"But betting with you isn't bad.Well if I win you have to crawl on the ground barking like a dog for 10 minutes.how?"
"AHAHA! ALL RIGHT IF IT WANTS YOU. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR FACE ON MY BED TONIGHT!"
A disgusting laugh came out from the mouth of Keyn Hill while Misha just stared at him with a cold face.
The referee gave them a cue. both of them prepared. When the count was over, Keyn Hill immediately pulled out a fireball of enormous size and shot towards Sasha.
The fireball hit Sasha and a considerable explosion emerged from the fireball. Keyn laughed, he won! if hit by a fireball and an explosion of that size even a reliable mage would not be able to escape unhurt. he won't be able to fight anymore!
or at least that was what was on his mind when he saw that Sasha was doing well.
"Hohhh, you seem to be astonished huh. well let me explain. Your magic is indeed big. The explosive power is also strong.but the barrier I installed is even much stronger than that. well let's finish this conversation. Now it's my turn."
Sasha cast her magic. The fast pace. suddenly around her appeared a small magic circle that numbered five circles. from the circle then appeared a fire shaped like a bird of Pipit.
as Sasha pointed towards Keyn, the five birds shot towards Keyn. For a moment he wanted to underestimate but the alarm in his head seemed to sound.
he wanted to put up a shield but it was too late.The five birds hit Keyn's body and got himself swallowed up in a huge explosion.
when the fire was extinguished, Keyn Hill was no longer able to move anymore.His entire body was exposed to severe burns but could still be healed.
the winner has been decided. Sasha won the first round!
