“I know that I am no match for Karsas.”
“Well, then why?”
Yubel shrugged his shoulders, looking at Reppenhardt who was embarrassed.
“I’m seriously unpopular, so don’t you think I need to appeal that I at least have the courage of a king of a nation?”
Clearly, Prince Yubel was overly undervalued compared to Prince Karsas. By taking this opportunity to fight against Karsas, you must prove that even though you are inferior in skill, you have the courage to swing your sword with confidence.
“So, I ask you to be cautious and intervene quickly if you think the situation is going badly. Why are there so many excuses? The prince is in danger! “I’m shouting like this and pretending to be so excited that I’ve lost my mind and ask for protection.”
“… … .”
Reppenhardt was momentarily speechless. They say that recklessness is the privilege of youth, but the boy in front of me is only seventeen years old, and he is reciting lines like an old middle-aged man.
“It’s very reassuring to have an Auror user at your back, isn’t it?”
As he concludes his words, Yubel gives Finnea a subtle wink. Seeing how Phineas responded with a gentle smile, it seemed like she had not just come up with an idea on the spot, but had reached a conclusion after discussing it beforehand.
‘Is there something you believe in?’
I can’t stop it at this level. Repenhardt quietly fell from Yubel’s side. Karsas looked at them and sneered.
“You said you would cut my head off, but are you going to wait until I grow old and die?”
“I’m sorry for keeping you waiting.”
Calmly ignoring the ridicule, Yubel drew his sword and took out the shield behind his back. Karsas also held a bastard sword with both hands.
The two heirs to the throne looked at each other under the sacred hall and began to burn their fighting spirit. Yubel shouted.
“As the true king of Crovence, I will now take your life!”
Karsas responded sharply, swinging his sword in the air and taking a stance.
“come! “You incompetent person who just got lucky!”
☆ ☆ ☆
Prince Yubel bravely charged at Karsas with his shield in front. Karsas looked slightly surprised. If you are someone who has properly learned martial arts, there is a clear difference in your movements. Contrary to what I had heard, his movements were faster than expected and his body’s center of gravity did not waver.
‘I heard you skipped knight class and just played with a female dwarf?’
Puzzled, Karsas also ran towards him. Yubel stabbed the long sword behind the shield.
“Taaaat!”
It was a fairly sharp stab. It was an unexpected skill, but Karsas easily dodged the attack. A knight would never let down his guard in a duel no matter how weak he was, and he was on high alert even when dealing with Yubel, whom everyone criticized as a libertine.
Karsas dodged the attack and swung his bastard sword sharply. Yubel quickly blocked the attack with his shield. Karsas crushed his sword strongly with both hands. He was going to let the shield fall to pieces. It was just as I was about to push up the shield.
“Huh!”
With a short burst of energy, Yubel pushed his shield and kicked Karsas away!
Teuong!
A loud clanging sound filled the sacred hall. Karsas, pushed by the shield, was pushed back, flying through the air almost 2 meters. Everyone could not believe their eyes.
“Huh?”
“How does Prince Yubel have such power?”
Karsas is wearing full armor and holding a bastard sword. He is not small at all, standing at 180 centimeters and having a well-trained body. His body weight and the weight of his armor combined would have been approximately 100 kilograms, but the relatively small Yubel pushed him away. It was a force that was beyond the reach of even most knights.
Karsas, who was blown away, struggled to correct his posture and landed on the floor. He was just pushed, so he wasn’t physically shocked, but his expression clearly showed that he was mentally shocked.
“You hid your skills!”
“No, I haven’t really hidden anything? “He just didn’t have anything to show for it.”
Karsas raised his eyes at Yubel’s calm reply and struck again with his sword. As expected from a famous knight, all attacks came at sharp angles and with great force. However, Yubel was never pushed back and was responding to all attacks from his position. Once you have a shield, it is easy to block no matter how flashy the attack trajectory is.
Bang, bang!
Karsas’s blade strikes Yubel’s shield, making a series of clanging sounds. Karsas shouted.
“Are you just hiding behind a shield? “What a shame for a knight!”
Certainly, it is not easy to subdue it with swordsmanship if it is stuck like a turtle behind a shield. But that was a method a proper knight would never take. A sword can block, but if you just push it with your weight, it will fall right off.
As he approached, Karsas delivered a headbutt to Yubel’s shield. According to common sense, Yubel should have fallen backwards… … .
“Hmph!”
Yubel pushed Karsas away with another shield strike. Yubel’s strength, standing still, was stronger than that of Karsas, who charged with his entire body weight. Karsas, who was thrown back again, shook his head and made an expression of disbelief.
“What kind of power is this good?”
“I’ve been playing with Phinea since I was little.”
Prince Yubel met Finia when he was seven years old. By chance, his mother had given him a wild dwarf girl who had been purchased from the royal family as his nanny. Finia raised her young Yubel and taught him various pranks, and the pranks were mostly things that she had done as a child when she was raised as a warrior.
Dwarf children play with weapons from a young age and enjoy hitting wood and rocks with those weapons. And, like the dwarves, the weapon is only made of wood, and boasts a strength and weight that can be compared to a real weapon.
The royal family thought they were just playing with a toy sword or axe, but it was actually quite cruel to young Yubel. Of course, young Yubel thought, ‘Ah, playing also requires strength. ‘For some reason, my father used to say things like that every night when he came out of the other mothers’ rooms,’ she said, taking it in stride.
Why isn’t there training for assassins to increase their leaping ability by planting seeds and jumping over them every day at the same rate as the trees grow? It’s been 10 years since Yubel spent time with Finia, so he naturally gained this kind of superpower. Yubel had no idea that he was strong until now, as he only measured his strength based on Finia’s standards.
“It wasn’t until this war that I realized I was strong. Until then, I thought everyone looked after me because I was a prince.”
Karsas clicked his tongue in bewilderment.
“It’s not just about strength, it’s… … .”
Strength is strength, but being able to push him in that position means that your lower body is ridiculously strong. Lower body training is one of the basic martial arts skills, but very few people do it properly. But does that mean that Yubel was actually a knight who had trained thoroughly from the basics?
Yubel shrugged his shoulders.
“Well, if you want to sleep with Finia, training your lower body is essential… … “Even though he looks like that, he has a habit of hugging people when he’s excited, so I deadlift and squat like crazy every day to keep my back from getting worse, hmm.”
“Mr. Yubel!”
Finia, who was watching the duel, screamed with a red face. At this important moment, no privacy exposure is allowed! What on earth are you talking about?
Fortunately, everyone was so preoccupied with the miracle(?) in front of them that they didn’t seem to care about the two lovers’ night. Karsas smiled empty-handedly.
“Yes, I really believe in something, so I came forward like this.”
In an instant, his eyes burned.
“But that’s not enough!”
Karsas stepped forward and fired fierce sword strikes. The sharp blade curves like a whip and hits Yubel from all directions, front, back, left and right. Yubel also swung her sword, blocking with her shield. However, compared to her strength, her skills were far inferior to Kar Sass. It was possible to defend, but I couldn’t hit Karsas. On the other hand, Karsas slowly began to understand Yubel’s fighting style and respond accordingly.
Yubel’s martial arts were taught by Finia, and were basically the skills of a dwarven warrior. The center of gravity was too high for a human body to imitate it. I can handle it pretty well when I bend my knees and defend, but the speed of switching to attack is very slow.
“Ugh!”
After getting hit with the shield a few times, Karsas must have read the timing right away and dodged it right away. He did not receive the title of knight among knights for nothing. As time passed, Karsas immediately recognized Yubel’s bottom and was easily pushing him.
“Did you try to deal with a knight to this extent? “It’s ridiculous!”
The situation was clearly one in which Karsas was at an absolute disadvantage, but despite this, Karsas did not lose his fighting spirit at all. Yubel continued blocking attacks with his shield and clicked his tongue.

‘Wow, I’m being pushed as expected. Well, I thought it was going really well in the beginning.’
Yubel, hiding behind the shield, sent a glance at Reppenhardt. It contained such a simple message that even Leffenhardt could easily recognize it.
‘Save me!’
‘OK!’
Responding with a wink, Reppenhardt kicked the ground and stepped forward.
“The prince is in danger!”
Leffenhardt, flashing a dazzling golden aura, immediately entered between the two. Yubel let out a sigh of relief and smiled inwardly.
‘Wow, you really used that line exactly.’
Karsas, who was interrupted from the duel, became angry and swung his sword.
“You’re interfering in a sacred duel! And yet you are saying that you are an honorable king!”
“In the first place, we don’t have much honor in our martial arts, right?”
Reppenhardt responded harshly and immediately started making fun of his hands and feet. Yubel blocks his sword with his shield, but Reppenhardt’s whole body is just a shield. Karsas stabbed and cut him with brilliant sword skills, but he only bounced back in vain. There is no way for Karsas, who did not awaken to Auror in the first place, to beat Reppenhardt.
Karsas gritted his teeth and let out a cry of sorrow.
“Damn it!”
“Taaat!”
With a burst of spirit, Reppenhardt stretched out his fist. The golden aura exploded like a curtain and struck Karsas. A dazzling light filled the hall.
Paaaaat!
“Ugh!”
“Ugh!”
Everyone covered their eyes, looked away, and groaned at the intense flash of light. At the same time, an explosion rang out.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
Eventually, when the world opened their eyes again, Karsas was no longer there. All that remained was the shattered wall of the hall, and Reppenhardt standing proudly holding something on top of the heavily collapsed wall.
Leffenhardt lifted what he was holding in his hand. It was a severed human head. Although it was stained with blood, its bright blonde hair and wide green eyes clearly showed who the owner of that head was.
“I cut off the head of the traitor Karsas!”
Yubel slowly walked to the center of the hall. As he walked, he took out a ring from his pocket, showed the royal seal, and gave orders to Reppenhardt as king.
“Tear off the traitor’s head!”
“I will do as you command me.”
Leffenhardt answers politely. Passing by him, Yubel took out a golden crown from his belt. Count Peonin quickly walked to his side, took the crown, and placed it on Yubel’s head.
Yubel, wearing a crown and a ring, stood in the center of the sacred hall, Brastina. Finia let out a cry of emotion.
“Praise the birth of a new king!”
Everyone knelt down and cheered for Yubel.
“King! “My king!”
It was the birth of Yubel II, the new king of the Kingdom of Crovence.
6
The civil war in the Kingdom of Crovence quickly spread throughout the continent. Since everyone predicted Prince Yubel’s defeat, his victory was truly surprising. As surprising as it was, the rumor spread widely and became a topic of conversation among the world. Since he was a person who had been on the rise since he was a prince, everyone was very interested in him.
And that rumor gave birth to another hero.
King Repenhardt.
After defeating the Golden Knight of Grime, he suddenly appeared in the Kingdom of Crovence and ended the civil war. It is said that he led the war to victory by dealing with different races with surprising inaction. People did not hide their reactions of doubt and surprise at the sight of Orcs, Dwarves, and Elves that deviated from common sense on the battlefield.
Because King Kwon’s presence was so strong, it was not widely known that he used magic. And in fact, Reppenhardt only wore a robe and rarely showed real magic in front of people. At best, did he only use it when dealing with Christine, the large woman who came to visit Silan? As a result, everyone thought that King Gwon had subdued the different races through his own military force and made them his subordinates.
The rumor also reached Tesron, who was staying in the Kingdom of Grime.
“Demon King Reppenhardt! “Have you already regained your strength to that extent?”
Tethron gritted his teeth as he smashed the table. He hasn’t even regained his strength yet, but that evil demon lord has already started taking action. Nervous, Thesron bit his nails.
‘Damn it, King Karsas has passed away.’
Tesron became gloomy as he remembered the kind and wise King of Crovence, Karsas, from his previous life. King Karsas, who was wise and excellent at tactics and strategy, was a more trustworthy companion than anyone else in dealing with the Dark Empire. Even when leading the entire situation and planning the strategy until the final defeat of the Demon King, the advice of King Karsas was truly important. But now he has died at the hands of the devil before he can see the light of day.
‘What a despicable person! Is he planning to destroy all his enemies before they even sprout!
If I waited any longer, it seemed like all my future precious colleagues would die. Her heart felt as if it would explode. Thesron took a deep breath, her hands shaking. In the past, no matter how much he tried to calm his excitement, it was not easy, but perhaps because Reppenhardt’s body had a very cold personality, when he calmed down, his mind soon became clear.
“Whoa… … .”
Taking a long breath, Tethron thought about the future.
‘First of all, it seems that the Demon King has not completely regained his strength yet.’
Among the rumors being heard now, there was no mention of King Reppenhardt using magic. Tethron knew very well what kind of evaluation his Mumun, Jim Unbreakable was being received. If King Gwon, who was famous for his ignorance, even used magic, it would be impossible for him to avoid being known.
‘That means there is a high possibility that Reppenhardt has not yet recovered to a high level of magic.’
Yes, it’s not too late. There is still a chance.
That was when Tesron was thinking. The parlor door opened and two men came in. They were the Golden Knight Eusus and the Dano Knight Stephen.
Eusus exploded with anger towards Tethron.
