The duel trial did not end when the fight was over. After the duel, there was a lot of work to be done, such as ensuring that the docunts were drawn up according to my side of the story, and making sure that there were no problems with the wording so that I would not be caught flat-footed later, before signing.
The docunts were reviewed by the legal team arranged by Grand Duke Seyfart, but I had no choice but to stay there until they were done because I needed to sign the confirmation at the end of the process.
Thank you for your service. (Seyfart)
Thank you, or rather, Im sorry to have bothered you, Your Excellency. (Welner)
What, I dont mind, you showed so interesting things. (Seyfart)
After a brief treatnt, I had ti to talk with the Grand Duke. This was more like an information sharing and confirmation session. Lily was surrounded by Annette-san and several knights.
Davlak and so of the other knights wanted to escort you, but I sent them ho as it would have been burdenso for you. They were just fascinated to see you up close for the first ti. By the way, Im going to be at your wedding.
His Excellency, who probably heard about and Lily from my father, said this happily. How should I react to that?
Youre being too hasty. And I dont think its right for a nobleman of such high rank as your lordship to do so. (Welner)
The groom would be the son of a minister, that being . If His Majesty trusted the minister, it would not be surprising if royalty, not to say His Majesty, participated in trying to arrange it.
If they brought up that point, there would be no room for rebuttal. BUT, at least wait until we graduate from the academy.
Besides, the High Priest will definitely participate as a representative of the church if the marriage did really happen. (Welner)
Well, that is to be expected. (Seyfart)
This would not be done for or Lily, but for Mazell. This incident must have worsened Mazells impression of the church, so the church needed to show that they cared about him and his family in order to improve his impression of them. It could only be soone on the level of the High Priest or at least close enough in position who could do it. I sohow felt that the High Priest Reppe would recomnd himself.
In that sense, our marriage ceremony would still be used as a political playground, even if we ourselves had no interest in it. It was a complicated thing.
I was not sure if it would be a good idea to have a wedding ceremony, but this was a political arrangent. I guess, it was to be expected after all that had happened.
Anyway, how did the other side look at the end of the match?
He seems to have lost the ability to feel pain, and his thinking ability seed to have decreased as well. But he did seem to understand that victory or defeat was at stake.
Hmm.
The Grand Duke was also pondering with a serious expression on his face. As expected, there was no precedent for sothing like that, apparently.
Hmm, I dont think he was replaced by a monster, but
The church is already confirming who are involved. After all, they are the one who are responsible for this duels arrangent. I dont think they would play any tricks as things have already gotten out of hand.
Indeed. Then, is it drugs?
It is possible, but I cant understand the other partys intentions. If their goal is to kill you here, its a rather crude way of doing it, and if its just to cause a ruckus, its too small.
When he put it that way, I couldnt really comnt on it. In fact, if they really wanted to kill , there should have been plenty of other ways to do it.
If it was drugs, and this case got out, it would have only resulted in further damaging the reputation of the church. This would have also given the Kingdom a chance to reduce the churchs power.
Anyway, I wonder how my opponent, that man, is currently doing?
Hes in the church receiving treatnt.
I stabbed him in the shoulder with my spear, so I thought it was inevitable that he would be given priority for treatnt.
It occurred to to ask a question.
If I had lost, what would have happened to the heros expedition?
It would have been handled as a diplomatic issue. Diplomats from several countries would have gone to Delitzdam, not only from our Bain country.
Is it possible, for example, that there is still a Demon in the heart of Delitzdam?
We were consulted on how to flush out the Demons, but I dont know what they did after that. Besides, there is a possibility that even if they were eliminated once, they may have reentered.
I see. In a ga, there would have been no problem once they were eliminated, but in the real world, there would be a risk that they would repeat their actions. The Bain Kingdom remained vigilant of this possibility, but it was not possible to take care of other countries as well.
However, the Demon(s) inside Delitzdam would not be able to win a fight against the current Mazell, who could even kill Four Heavenly Kings, so at best they could only stall him.
Although I had no intention of losing, even if I had lost, it would not have affected Mazells progress. Which only made the situation more and more confusing.
It will definitely beco a diplomatic issue, if things continue as is.
Im sure it will
The Grand Dukes smile made break out in a cold sweat. Would he just nail them, or would he diplomatically get sothing out of them? That was for the countrys leaders to decide, but that didnt make it less frightening.
