Episode 1057. Has anyone bet money on the baron?
Hirhera Escatos Kingdom Army Garrison.
The camp of Marquis Bernardo.
The fact that the gamble on the outco of the duel was canceled is the story of the Kingdom of Baylem.
The situation of the Escatos Kingdom Army was a little different.
Of course, there were an overwhelming number of people betting on the victory of Count Codrantes, but surprisingly, there were quite a few people betting on Elio’s side.
Many of the knights and soldiers who fought alongside Elio in front of the rift bet on Elio.
He rated Elio’s swordsmanship higher than the rumored sword master.
In particular, all the Alpha Company knights who used the sa barracks as Helio bet on Helio.
At dusk, Alpha Company Knight Ridley visited Fabian after a long absence.
“Fabian. What did Baron Elio say?”
“What?”
“The duel tomorrow. Are you confident?”
“Our company commander is always full of confidence. He is so confident that he is still reading the book.”
“It’s good to be confident, but shouldn’t we be prepared? Since you are my staff, go and tell sothing.”
As Ridley ca out aggressively, Fabian looked at him suspiciously.
“This is suspicious. Have you ever bet on a duel?”
“uh? uh. it’s not just Our Alpha Company knights all bet on Baron Elio. Because we have a bond together.”
“You an a loyalty bet? They are not like that.”
Ridley, who was acting on the other side with a puzzled face, asked as if to confirm.
“Baron Elio will win, right?”
“I can’t say for sure because I’ve never seen Count Codrantes’ swordsmanship, but I bet on the side that Baron Elio wins.”
“okay? That’s it. Don’t trust your eyes that serve you closest. By the way, what are you going to do next?”
“yes? What are you talking about?”
“Baron Elio is now a lord, right? Will you be his knight? Or will you continue to remain in the marquis family?”
“ah! was that question? well. I haven’t thought about that far yet…”
Fabian was speechless.
As soon as he followed Baron Elio to Rufus Company, things happened with Count Putocoa, and he had no ti to think about the future.
“Baron Elio needs a knight now, right? I thought you’d already made up your mind, but that’s a bit surprising.”
“I was hectic busy taking care of the company mbers.”
“But the last ti I saw them, they fought well for a newly ford unit.”
“We are still far away.”
A beauty dressed in the Baylem Kingdom army approached the two of them as they chatted.
“I’m looking for Rufus Company, do you know where it is?”
At the female knight’s question, Fabian stepped forward.
“This is the Rufus company camp. I am 2nd Lieutenant Fabian, the staff of the company commander. What are you looking for?”
“Oh, my na is Anna Logan of the Knights of Seletus. I ca to say hello to Company Commander Rufus… Can I et you?”
Fabian, who knew that Anna Logan was an aristocrat, responded with a straight face.
“Follow . Let us guide you. Sir Ridley, I will bring Sir Anna Logan to the company commander.”
After Fabian said goodbye to Ridley, he and Anna Logan headed to Elio’s barracks.
Rufus company commander’s barracks.
Anna Logan said to Baron Elio Lagoa, who greeted her with a puzzled face.
“Were you surprised by the sudden arrival?”
“Ah yes. But what about?”
Elio, who was disinterested in her, went to the main point without hesitation.
Anna Logan was a little upset when Baron Elio Lagoa treated her businesslikely, but she didn’t show it.
“I want to say thank you before it is too late. I heard that the duel between the Baron and Count Codrantes will take place tomorrow.”
“My duel opponent is not Count Codrantes, but Count Putocoa?”
“That’s true, but since Count Codrantes is the great champion of Count Putocoa, you’ll end up dueling Count Codrantes.”
“What could it be?”
“I know the baron’s swordsmanship is excellent… but he’s a sword master. Are you okay?”
“There is a saying in my hotown that you can only know long and short by looking at it.”
Elio stared at Anna Logan.
What if it’s okay in the current situation, and what if it’s not okay.
“Ah yes…”
Anna Logan wet her dry lips with her tongue.
I don’t know why I’m so nervous when I’m in front of Baron Elio Lagoa, even though I’m fine when I’m talking to other nobles.
Just then, a bell sounded in the distance announcing dinner ti.
As if Elio had been waiting, he stood up and said.
“It is dinner ti. Would you like to wake up?”
He didn’t even ask if I’d like to eat with him, even empty words.
Anna Logan, who stumbled after him, summoned up the courage to speak.
“Baron! I hope you win.”
“thank you. Shall I post directions to the Baylem Kingdom Army Garrison?”
“no. I am confident that I will not get lost anymore.”
Elio smiled and went out of the barracks first.
As expected, Fabian ca running like a puppy, as if he was nearby.
Anna Logan, who followed, greeted Elio and Fabian and quickly disappeared.
Fabian asked sneakily as she walked away.
“Isn’t that the knight from Baylem who gave us directions last ti?”
“uh.”
“Why did you just let it go? Have a al together.”
“Then what do you want to hear later?”
“How about listening to it? do you know Then, if it goes well…”
“It’s going well, damn it. I am a body that belongs to .”
“Isn’t it okay to have a concubine if you’re at the level of a lord?”
“Can I go to the female knight you say you like?”
“Ah, a concubine is too much for a diocre knight like .”
“You don’t say you hate concubines?”
“Isn’t there a man who rejects won?”
“If you put it that way, there won’t be a woman who rejects a man. I’m going to go back to my family.”
“Oh, is that going to happen again? Let’s go eat.”
Fabian, who was running out of excuses, quickly took the lead and started walking.
***
The camp of the counts of Codrantes.
As the bell sounded in the distance announcing dinner, Viscount Bain Marino, a staff mber, secretly examined Count Codrantes’ complexion.
“If you have sothing to say, do it.”
“Is it true that you are going out as Count Putocoa’s champion in the duel tomorrow?”
“I?”
Count Codrantes asked with an absurd face.
No matter how close your relationship with Putokoa is, you, as a sword master, are the great warriors of Count Putokoa? I don’t know what else this is about.
“Yes, these are rumors from the mouths of the knights of Putokoa. Not at all?”
“I’m not even the kid’s godfather, so why do you want to do a great job?”
“ah! It wasn’t. It was strange that the Count was so quiet before the duel.”
“Did you know I was going to ask you questions about Baron Elio Lagoa?”
“Yes, because the opponent is Baron Helio Lagoa.”
For a mont, Count Codrantes frowned.
At least what can I ask of the sword expert?
“You think he’s a great swordsman that I should be aware of?”
“He not only faced Cyclops alone, but also killed Ice Ogre with one sword.”
“Ohh. Quite right.”
Curiosity in the eyes of Count Codrantes, who was full of annoyance.
I thought it was a normal sword expert, but it seed like a sword master was not far behind.
“After he joined Marquis Bernardo’s army, the number of casualties in Alpha Company decreased drastically. It’s a unique figure that can’t be compared right now… Soldiers as well as knights envy Alpha Company.”
“Is that all credit to Baron Helio Lagoa?”
“It is also unusual that he scouted Tamion for three days and returned safely. Because the knight who accompanied him was just a mana user.”
“That could have been luck, so pass. Anything known about his swordsmanship?”
“Not at all. When dealing with witch beasts, there are tis when he sotis makes movents that appear to be swordsmanship… It is said that it was a movent that has not been known until now.”
“It must be a savage swordsmanship.”
“I think so.”
“That’s true, but if that’s true, how far did the rumor that I’m a great fighter spread?”
“It even reached the ears of the Baylum Kingdom troops… It seems that it has spread throughout the Hirhera Garrison.”
“Then Baron Elio Lagoa must know?”
“I will. There are even rumors that his aides have jumped into the gambling table.”
“It’s a bet.”
The corners of Count Codrantes’ mouth went up.
There was a bet that could be said to be a must if nobles had a duel.
If it’s a place where there’s no topic of conversation like Hirhera, I’ll add more.
“Has anyone bet money on the baron?”
“That’s…”
Viscount Bain Marino slurred.
Then, Count Codrantes gave a glance that he was okay.
“I heard that there were a few knights who used the sa quarters as the Baron, and a few people from Alpha Company, Diva Company, and Rufus Company who bet on the Baron.”
“…”
Count Codrantes looked at the staff with absurd eyes.
If it was the unit that Baron Elio Lagoa was in, it would be understandable.
But to think that even the Diva Company under his command bet on him?
When he was displeased, Viscount Bain Marino hurriedly continued.
“With the exception of a very few, the entire kingdom bet on the Count’s victory. Aren’t there people who bet against the original dividends? It must be the psychology of aiming for the jackpot.”
“No matter how much you bet on the lord’s opponent… that seems a bit over the top.”
As Count Codrates stared at him, Viscount Van Marino secretly averted his eyes.
Count Codrantes, who was thinking about sothing, asked.
“Anyway, that must have reached the ears of Baron Helio Lagoa, right?”
“No doubt.”
“His reaction?”
“So far, there has been no movent. I heard you haven’t co out of the barracks all day.”
“Even though you know that Count Putokoa’s great warrior is , right?”
“Maybe I gave up. Because it is too late to co and prepare now. Can we say that we prepare for ten years?”
“Is it really so?”
Just then, the voice of the exclusive cook ca from outside the barracks.
“The lord’s dinner nu is grilled lamb and…”
“Tonight’s dinner is done. We will be eating out, so you don’t have to prepare.”
“yes.”
Viscount Bain Marino, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, asked.
“Do you have dinner plans?”
“None.”
“But why…”
said Count Codrantes, rising from his seat.
“Tonight, we will have dinner at the camp of Marquis Bernardo. These are the people who ca to help our estate, so we should see if there is any inconvenience. Let’s go with you too.”
“Ah yes…”
Viscount Bain Marino hesitantly stood up.
It wasn’t on the schedule until the story of Baron Elio Lagoa ca out, but I don’t know what the wind was blowing all of a sudden.
***
Marquis Bernardo’s camp.
Knight’s Restaurant.
Elio and Fabian stepped inside.
The otherwise quiet knight’s restaurant beca as quiet as a grave for an instant.
The knights’ eyes turned to Elio for a mont.
Elio, who had been looking around the inside with a puzzled face, quickly walked to the food table.
Elio, who had been served on a plate, walked to find an empty seat.
Still, unlike before, when he pretended to be a knight of the sa marquise, the knights greeted him first whenever he passed by.
Fabian smirked as he set down the tray across from Elio.
“Are you popular?”
“It ans nothing.”
It’s ti for Elio to answer curtly and raise the spoon.
Suddenly, the rattling sound of spoons stopped all around.
A strange tension enveloped the restaurant.
Elio looked back with a strange feeling, and his eyes widened.
Two n who seed to be knights of the Count Codrantes – as if they had been inspected – were looking around the restaurant.
