...CHAPTER 36 - THE END OF THE DUEL...
...◇◇◇...
This duel is fun.
To think, the lowest technique was "Fallen of Sorrow and Moonlight." Can be fought by the Princess.
As expected, Princess Anastasia is strong.
Maybe I'll use the next technique.
"You're strong too, Princess!" I swung the sword.
"You too!" he also swung the sword.
A sharp clash enveloped us, the iron sound emanating from the wooden sword gave a pressing stimulus.
"The Blade of Chaos!" My yelling.
A red light illuminated my sword blade and fire energy appeared enveloping the entire wooden sword.
As if it was made of magic, my sword burned by fire without damaging it.
The Princess's face was slightly stunned, but she took out her other technique.
"Dragon's Fang!" His voice raised the sword.
His sword was veiled by a pitch-red aura and felt intimidating. The scarlet light from his sword gave more intimidation.
"I'll go all out!" Shouted Anastasia crashing straight at me.
Oh, he pulled out his ace.
Looks like I'm too.
"I'll ladeni!" My reply ran towards him.
A violent clash ensued, in an instant the storm-like air burst enveloped us.
Shocked cries were barely heard by us, their voices covered by the noise of the typhoon.
A sickening extreme shock ensued and made our swords both begin to crack.
However, I smiled and pushed the Princess flying away.
THE BAAK! A BAAM!
The wind stopped and showed me above the arena that had been destroyed. Then on the other hand, the Princess surprisingly flung out and hit the wall behind her.
"Well..."
I was stunned after realizing it, that I had gone overboard.
So I quickly went where Princess was sprawled and Rosaline and the others went along.
"Mr Princess!"
"Anastasia!"
"Your majesty!"
"...Myu?"
They approached the Princess who was slowly standing up, Rosaline looked worried and asked Desi and Antonile to help her. His guard knights ran over and took out many potions as well as a healing ointment in panic.
As for me who hit him, I went straight to Anastasia and helped her out of the rubble of the wall.
Luckily, there were no injuries to the Princess. Looks like his training clothes have been fitted with the Magic Protector.
"ahahahahah.. Very strong, I lost." said Anastasia received my hand and stood up.
He looked fine, only his body was dirty from dust and rubble.
He smiled and gave me a hand.
"Ren, that was amazing" he said with a happy smile.
"..Yeah, me too." I shook hands with him.
He smiled at me and his eyes narrowed which said.
"Then, teach me," he said with a gentle smile.
"...Uh?"
"I know, you're holding back, right?"
He glanced at me sharply and looked interested.
"No, Princess."
"Stay, the duel did not use magic. But Ren's technique during the duel felt an aura of nowhere," he said looking at me excitedly.
Anastasia's eyes sparkled as she said so, a dazzling smile and a strengthening hand grip.
Of course, Anastasia seriously said it.
"...After my business is done. I'll think about it."
"Appointment okay? Don't forget it."
"..." - ".I smiled stiffly.
"Promise?"
"..."
His eyes were very bright and held my hand firmly.
"..All right," I said bowing my head in surrender.
"Sip!"
Looks like I made an appointment somewhere else again..
Since the duel is over, I think I'll go back to my room.
"Senka," I called him.
Answering my call, Senka immediately walked up to me adorable.
Spontaneously I hugged her and spoiled her.
'Ah 'ah.. I feel relieved now..'
"Hehe~"
Rosaline and Anastasia looked at us happily.
"Ren-sama, I want to be Senka's adoptive mother, may I?" rosaline said to my side.
"Eh??" I was shocked by his sudden desire.
And beside her, Anastasia looked at Rosaline in surprise.
"What...?" His mouth opened in disbelief.
"Are you serious, Rosa?" He held onto Rosaline's shoulder.
"Seriously, didn't I ever tell you?"
"When? I don't remember you ever telling me."
"Hm.. Did I ever talk about when I was in Ren-sama's room?"
"Never!"
"Eh, I'm not proposing."
Anastasia looked incredulous, but slowly admitted it.
"Rosa, I think you picked the right strong man" he said with pleasure.
"You're supporting me?"
"Yes, do your best."
"Sure!"
For a moment, I felt strange ever since they spoke of these absurd things..
When I wanted to deny Rosaline's words, a rowdy voice sounded.
"Lady Rosaline!" Shouted someone entering the training field.
"Richard? What's up?" Rosaline realizes the man and waits for him to arrive.
The man gasped and held his knees exhausted. Then he looked at Rosaline with unsettled breath.
"Message, message coming."
"Message?"
A letter was given to Rosaline.
Me and Princess Anastasia swallowed saliva waiting for what was the contents of her letter.
Rosaline's face paled instantly.
"Dad attacked??" Surprisedly.
"!?"
Being attacked? Wheny??
Not only me, Princess Anastasia and the servants; desi and Antonile looked surprised.
"Where is that, Rosa?" Tanya Anastasia was serious.
"In the Alta Forest," he said restlessly.
"Not far from here??"
"Yes, from this message it shouldn't be long."
Rosaline's face stiffened and looked at the knight named Richard.
"Call the person who sent the letter and Joseph here!" His shouting.
"Good!"
Then Richard left and left us in a tense situation.
I'm approaching Rosaline.
Senka in that time disappeared into my shadow.
"Rosaline," I said approaching her.
"..."
I think he's in shock.
"Rosaline, you need to stay calm. I'm sure your father is fine," I said trying to calm him down.
"Right what Ren said, Rosa you need to stay calm."
Anastasia approached him and supported me.
"Y-yes.." He looks tense.
Now all we can do is wait for the news from the messenger.
.........
In the large hall, Rosaline, Princess Anastasia, I and a few people were in the middle of the room.
The summoned Joseph knelt down in front of Rosaline.
"Lady Rosaline's.."
"Joseph, everyone.. We're going to go."
Rosaline looked at us seriously. I think I belong in reinforcements?
"Rosa, do you want to leave right now? Not from the message should have been a long attack occurred," said Anastasia seriously.
"Right, so I wanted to hear the full extent of it," Rosaline said glancing at someone.
The person Rosaline mentioned was the woman who had been staring at the window ever since.
It was as if he hadn't thought too much about what was happening here.
"..." - ".I just shook my head, why is he always in this kind of situation?
That woman, Tofan Kyuciose.
He's the one who brought Duke's message here.
"Tofan-san."
Rosaline called out to him and she looked up.
"..."
Say something!
He breathed air and the sound of "Er.." from her.
Merely, our serious gazes left him a bit confused.
But he still dared to say it.
"I was just asked to bring a letter to a nearby town" he said, scratching the back of his head.
Rosaline looked irritated, but she tried to calm herself down.
"Can you tell me what happened to the person who asked you?" Seriously ask.
"The knight? Hm.. He gave me a letter and... Ah, there are nobles who cast magic with other knights."
"Is that my dad!?"
Rosaline gripped her shoulder and made Tofan unhappy.
He took Rosaline's hand off her and said.
"It seems, then I just sent you a letter. That's all." He seemed uninterested when he said it.
Rosaline was a little somber and looked around.
"Let's go find Daddy!" Loud screams.
"Rosa, relax.."
Anastasia approached him and asked him to calm down.
Rosaline who now looks unsettled and hasty.
"First, we need to get ready. Don't rush, Rosa," Anastasia said, stopping Rosaline from rushing in.
"Anastasia.."
Rosaline's face looked gloomy, but she shook her head and tried to calm down again.
"Right, I need to calm down. All right, get ready now!"
Rosaline asked her soldiers and knights to prepare, then they left and began to prepare themselves. While Anastasia and I saw Rosaline pushing herself.
"Rosaline," I said approaching her.
"Ren-sama? Just relax! I-I'm.."
"You stay here" I said calmly.
"Eh? Wh-Why?" His face looked sad.
"Let me, Joseph and the others help the Duke" I said in seriousness.
"Ren-sama.. That's.."
I shook my head and patted her shoulder.
"Duke must be fine, he's known to be great in magic and you should know how powerful Duke, your father, Rosaline is.."
"Ren-sama... Ughhhh.. Okay, I'll be here.."
I smiled and rubbed her head, Rosaline looked surprised and looked at me.
"We'll bring your father back, so take it easy" I smiled.
"LT.uhh.."
His face looked like he wanted to cry.
It shows how much he loves his father so much, I rubbed his head.
"You can cry Rosaline." I said trying to hug her.
He shed tears and immediately cried into my arms.
.........
Outside the Mansion.
"We're leaving, everyone's leaving!!" Joseph shouted and I was with Tofan following him behind.
The cavalry came in the back.
We all started heading to the Forest south of the city, the Alta Forest. The place where the attack took place.
