Chapter 68: VS Knight's Grandmaster

How did this happen... I was filled with indignation.


"Good luck!"


"You got this, Grandmaster!"


"I'm rooting for you, Duke Fall!"


There are people cheering all around me. The location is the Knight's training arena. In the center of that arena, I'm holding a training sword in one hand, and just in front of me, the Knight's Grandmaster, Viscount Grieze, is holding one as well.


While listening to the cheers surrounding us, I spoke to the person who got me into this mess with reproachful eyes.


"I never heard anything about an audience, Serena-sama?"


"Oh? Isn't it fine?"


Serena-sama answered my protest with a carefree smile.


"As the wife of the next Prime Minister, I want to see the best combat potential this country has to offer."


"Even though you say that, was there really a need to force this old soul?"


"Don't you want to move your body every once in a while?"


We were having such a conversation, but, well, to put it simply, during my audience with His Majesty the King, I accidentally let slip my promise with the Knight's Grandmaster. After Serena-sama somehow got word of it, she spread rumors which caused us to end up in this situation. Viscount Grieze being Viscount Grieze, he was more than willing to oblige, and so I ended up here facing him in mock combat.


"A- Ah... Best of luck, Duke Fall!"


"... Thank you, Celeu-sama."


Moreover, Celeu-sama showed up with Serena-sama like it was natural. However, as Their Majesties the King and Queen are busy as always, having both the Second Princess and Second Prince watching is quite eye-catching.


Well, there's no pressing need to win, so I can be a bit carefree, but... when I think about Serena-sama or Celeu-sama talking about this to Laurier or Sasha, I can't help but tense up.


Although I don't know how long I'll be able to hold out against an active Knight's Grandmaster... I decided to give it my all to win. That said, I'd feel better if we were using wooden swords instead...


"Well then, get ready!"
