28 – Tourney (4)

Finally, the day is completely set, and the lights on the streets go out. It’s time to announce the end of a fun festival.

Of course, the festival will continue throughout the National Foundation Day, but it is not possible to come out like this every day, so I was disappointed.

“Today’s festival is over.”

“Yeah.”

“Honestly, it was fun. It wasn’t bad to walk around wearing a mask.”

“I’m glad.”

“There was a lot of delicious street food, and there were plenty of things to see. Certainly, people weren’t looking forward to National Foundation Day for nothing.”

I was able to find a piece of deep regret in the appearance of Adilun looking up at the sky with the mask off after the lights of the festival were turned off.

That’s how much she seems to have enjoyed the festival. Perhaps, it was the most enjoyable experience of coming to the National Foundation Day.

“Yeah. I also enjoyed it.”

“That’s fortunate. ruler. Then it’s time to go in. You should even prepare for the tournament tomorrow.”

“Yeah. Let’s go in.”

We walked through the festive streets with the lights off in silence. Even though the fire has obviously been turned off, fragments of the festival that are still faintly left linger in the mind. It’s a pity that it was added soon after.

It seems that I, too, enjoyed the festival as much as Adirun. How long have you been feeling this feeling?

The hustle and bustle disappears, and silence lingers around, and all kinds of thoughts rule your head.

Will I be able to avoid disappointing Adilun in the future?

Will he be able to protect her from the many threats that lie ahead of her?

Will I be able to protect the nobility she showed?

Since I can’t always live with a strong will, I started to worry about whether I could always protect her.

Perhaps because the surroundings are dark, darkness sometimes brings coziness, but sometimes makes people tremble with anxiety.

Especially thinking about the future always made me anxious.

I knew what kind of threat loomed in this world.

In the near future the plague will spread. There will be war in the East.

The war will not end.

In the north, monsters will eat the negative emotions of humans and become stronger and try to come down to the south, and in the center, Crocus Glossu or Prime Minister will start a civil war.

Princess Lobelia and Adylune will fight against it.

Of course, all of that situation can change due to the intervention of the existence of the country.

No, it will probably change for sure.

that’s why i’m afraid I was afraid that I would make her even more unhappy. Because I don’t know what variables the future twisted because of me will bring.

But does that mean that he is terribly afraid?

Let’s harden our hearts. You have to believe that you can overcome any ordeal.

Just like I did in my previous life.

“… … Sis. Phishes.”

As I was lost in my thoughts for a long time, I heard Adilun’s low voice next to me.

“ah. Yes. Adilune.”

“Arrived.”

“You have already arrived. Gee, I’m sorry. I have something to think about.”

“Are you worried about something?”

“little… … there is.”

“Can you tell me what your worries are?”

“I was a little worried about whether I could do well in the future. Because I always had accidents.”

“ah.”

She seemed to be struggling with something, and told me.

“There is nothing I can say about that. I have always lived with similar concerns.”

“… … Is that so?”

“Yeah. Isn’t it a concern that everyone lives with? How will I live in the future Will I be able to live well… … . such troubles. So, your concern is probably not one that I can provide an answer to.”

“hahahaha. If you think about it, yes.”

She was right. The problems you have are the ones you have to deal with on your own.

You don’t have to depend on anyone. If you think about it until your head hurts and find a way, someday the answer to your worries will come.

“still… … . I can tell you one thing. I can’t read your insides, but at least the appearance of you that I’ve seen recently has been pretty good.”

At that moment, the one fear in my head disappeared.

The fear that I might do something bad to her again.

If she judged me okay recently, at least I wasn’t doing anything wrong.

“thank you. Thanks for helping.”

“Yeah?”

At my thanks, she put on a rather puzzled expression.

“Now, go in. Aren’t you busy tomorrow too?”

“I see. Oh, and Physis.”

“Yeah.”

“Tomorrow’s tournament, be careful.”

“It’s okay if you don’t worry.”

“As I said before, you… … .”

“Because I have to go to Yeongjijeon. I am well aware of it.”

“okay. Anyway, get some rest. You had a hard day today.”

Even though she put on a slightly dissatisfied expression because she was deprived of her words, she did not forget to tell me that she had suffered.

Alan Aiden looked at the opponent in front of him with his lance held high.

Physis, a knight in black armor.

Not long ago, he was the one who made all the things he was aiming for in vain.

Alan Aiden’s expression crumpled.

Of course, he didn’t like all the compliments about him that came out of the servant’s mouth, and it was because his stomach was twisted when he saw the princesses he usually courted with reddish faces looking at Physis.

Furthermore, he was the person who provided the decisive reason for the battle between Rodenov and Aiden, so Alan Aiden had no choice but to hate Physis.

In fact, it was Alan’s own careless mouth that provided the excuse for the Battle of the Territory.

Anyway, Alan Aiden stared at Physis with overflowing hatred and murderous intent, but Physis just stared at him with nonchalant eyes without any change in expression.

However, even those nonchalant eyes felt as if they were ignoring him, so Alan burned even more anger and gripped the lance in his hand.

His goal is to shove this lance into Physis’ unlucky smooth face, flattening that proud nose.

falling horse? Alan had no intention of aiming for such trivial things.

What motivated you to participate in this tournament in the first place? Wasn’t it to woo the princess he liked?

However, he was greatly disgraced at the National Day ball, and his family was in great danger, so he was ignored by other nobles. The only thing he could choose was to bring down the person who made him like this to the same level as himself.

‘Today, I’ll definitely put this lance at your proud nose.’

Thinking so, Alan lowered his face shield and sprinted towards Physis.

Alan Aiden. It was not difficult to see that the guy was spraying hatred.

A guy who didn’t even know his subject matter and treated others with contempt. That was the only evaluation I would give him. Even if a guy like that came running to destroy me with hatred, it just seemed ridiculous to me.

The National Day ball, the hunting competition, and even this tourney. In many ways, I thought it was fate that I had no choice but to collide with him.

But it was rather good.

Previously, he had plotted a rather dangerous trick in a hunting competition, but he couldn’t prove it, so he tried to pay it back before Yeongji, but an opportunity to pay it back came sooner than that.

However, I had no intention of being careless. Judging from the way he fought tourneys, he must have been pretty good at tournaments.

There was a risk of getting caught on my side if I was careless. You can’t look so ugly.

“let’s go.”

I said softly to the horse. The horse stared at the front with a rough grunt, as if he understood the meaning of the words. Finally the flag was raised, and he and I started galloping at each other at the same time.

The moment he and I finally face each other, the surroundings slow down as if time has stopped, and my eyes catch everything about him.

Where and how to move, where to stab the lance, all of those paths began to become clear to my eyes.

The guy was aiming for my face. Rather than thinking of winning, would you rather smash my face?

yes. Then I won’t aim at your face either.

At the moment when my words and his words crossed, and my lance and his lance crossed, he thrust his lance into my face.

Absolutely neat workmanship.

He handled the lance in the cleanest way than all the knights I had met before this match. So much so that it was understandable to remain in the final round of the tournament.

Even though his talent for mana was low, it seemed that he had at least one talent to show off.

But no matter how good you are… … If the blow that goes through all that skill is seen through, it will be nothing but a fuss in the end.

Whoo!

I turned my face and avoided his lance. The heavy sound of the wind could be heard from the lance that passed by the side of the helmet and near the ear.

On the other hand… …

Kwajik!

There was the sound of something breaking, and my lance lodged in his face and shattered.

The guy was half-lying on the horse, perhaps because he had been struck in the face or because he was momentarily unconscious.

Soon, his squire came and awakened his spirit, and prepared for the match again. Rather, the crowd began to cheer at the hot game aiming for each other’s face.

2 points for this. Since he didn’t let the horse fall, the match hasn’t been announced yet.

That means you can still punch him in the face one more time.

I glared at him with a somewhat evil smile.
