99 – {Ahead of the Tournament}

{Ahead of the Tournament}

Classes at the academy went on without any problems, even after the major incident that took place last week, in which the real chosen one was revealed.

And rumors quickly spread that William Artin had insulted Yuria Arsane at the academy, and that her fiancée, the Chosen One, had beaten her and lost her limbs.

However, despite the accident that William suffered, he was unable to move from the Duke of Artin.

He couldn’t even visit the Minst Academy.

It was because the imperial family blocked their movement.

‘It’s a headache.’

Princess Louise heard that William Artine was lying in her hospital room, dismembered.

She did not visit William directly.

Because there was no personal reason for that, and there was no longer any need for it.

‘It might still be useful. Tsk.’

Everyone was convinced, and she was convinced, that her chosen one was Theodore Skylord.

However, as William Artin also had considerable talent and was considered the chosen one, he was at least an insurance card in case of an unexpected situation.

The possibility that it might at least be of some use was something I always kept in mind.

‘I can’t use it anymore.’

Unfortunately, William Artin’s purpose seemed to end here.

As Louise thought so, she remembered the people participating in this tournament.

Participants in that tournament included her, the head of the 2nd year Magic Faculty.

She was also participating in this tournament.

‘William Artin won’t be able to participate, and the top of each grade will decide.’

As a member of the imperial family, Princess Louise naturally knew that this tournament was actually held to confirm the identity of Theodore Skylord and secretly attract him.

However, that plan had already gone awry, and the current tournament was just a tournament where Theodore’s fiancée, Yuria Arcein, competed to publicize her skills.

‘Abama will run it neatly, so even the chosen one will be satisfied.’

Even the emperor of the Britannian Empire was aware of the current situation.

It was clear that if the tournament was suddenly canceled, Theodore would have even more bad feelings towards the Britannian Empire.

So he definitely had to make this contest a success.

‘It’s also a good opportunity to fool the public eye.’

From ancient times, it was the public who were enthusiastic about the festival.

The responsibility for having the Chosen One taken abroad was to be borne by the Duke of Artin.

What the Imperial Family of Britannia should do now is to prevent this responsibility from being directed at the Imperial Family.

‘The fact that the fiancée of the chosen one is participating is widely publicized.’

It wasn’t just Minst Academy.

Stories of this tournament were spreading rapidly throughout the Britannian Empire.

It was because people dispatched from the imperial family were deliberately spreading rumors everywhere.

“I heard that the chosen one’s fiancee, Yuria Arsane, will participate in the tournament starting on Friday?”

“Her swordsmanship is excellent, and she is said to be the most beautiful woman in the Arkhan Empire and her name is high.”

“In addition, the family is also the eldest daughter of the Duke of Arsein, and the chosen one is different no matter what, starting with her fiancée!”

“I mean. How will the fiancée of the chosen one perform in this tournament?”

“Still, the Britannia Empire will win the championship, right?”

“I don’t know. Isn’t that interesting?”

“Well, yes.”

Minst Academy’s students were ranked in order, as the top and bottom seats were covered in each grade and department.

However, I couldn’t pick who was the top and bottom in each school year and department.

There are confrontations and competitions with each other, but because it hasn’t been long since the new school year has just begun, things have not been clearly organized.

This tournament could have been a contest to determine the strongest of Minst Academy.

‘Of course, depending on the day’s minor condition, the direction of the confrontation may be different.’

As Princess Louise was also one of the contestants, she would fight to win.

It would have been more beneficial to run this kind of competition fairly and without any dirty corners.

Raising the honor of the imperial family by giving up trivial financial gains and creating a great tournament was the only business that really remained.

But the biggest goal was something else.

‘The fiancee of the chosen one participates in the contest. And if she naturally shows that she has some connection to the Chosen One… ‘

If that were the case, the image of the imperial family would be even better, and no one would be able to deny the image that they tried to rectify the accident that Duke Artin had committed as much as possible.

In addition, it would be beneficial for the chosen ones to work hand in hand with the Britannian Empire’s imperial family in order to prepare for the coming apocalypse.

To do so, it was necessary to visit Theodore Skyroad first, so Princess Louise waited for her class to end.

And Theodore was seen coming out of her class with his fiancée, Yuria.

“Nice to meet you, Prince Theodore.”

Princess Louise greeted her with a smile as bright as possible.

She had long given up on her expectation that her own seduction would be eaten by him, because the presence of her Yuria Arsane by her side was so intense.

But it wasn’t just temptation to build relationships with her people.

“Princess Theodore, I’m sorry, but could you take a minute? This is a request from the princess.”

With her status as the princess, she asked him to talk.

“I can’t because I’m busy right now. I’m sorry. Princess.”

However, Theodore openly refused even her request.

At Theodore’s refusal, Princess Louise slightly hardened her expression.

‘Rejection.’

She refused to speak as the princess.

Does that mean he doesn’t want anything to do with the Britannian Empire?

‘No.’

However, Princess Louise soon recognized that it was to increase her own ransom.

She deliberately put her distance in order to push and pull in her trade.

And since it was the imperial side of the Britannian Empire that she desperately needed to deal with, she felt that she had no choice but to be low-key.

“…I’ll be sure to ask.”

Eventually she had to bow her head and politely ask for her favor.

It hurt her pride that she, the princess, even showed such an attitude, but she knew that she had no choice.

She said that everything to subdue him had failed, and he had to accept the lesser evil in order to avoid the worst in the hopeless present.

“It’s difficult. You’re busy and you’re asking in such a hurry.”

Theodore didn’t immediately accept her request even though she directly bowed her head.

She was tempted to ask what the hell she was so busy with, but she didn’t notice.

I couldn’t go against his will now.

He had to establish friendly relations with him, the chosen one.

Whether it was a simple transaction or a relationship built on trust, I had to make it somehow.

“I really want to ask you this. Please give me some time.”

At Princess Louise’s earnest request, Theodore looked at Yuria.

“Yuria, I have to report to Her Majesty for a while, but I’m in trouble.”

And his fiancée, Yuria, nodded her head as if to match Theodore.

“That’s right. It’s time for Theo to submit a regular report to His Majesty, but it’s embarrassing to hear Princess Louise suddenly say this.”

As she is the princess of the Arsein duchy, Yuria also proved that she was not an outsider in politics.

Princess Louise was stunned that they even brought the emperor of the Arkan Empire into this conversation.

‘The emperor, of course.’

It was disrespectful to the emperor of the Arkan Empire for the princess of the Britannian Empire to block her from a noble from her foreign country, the Arkan Empire, who had to submit her regular report to the emperor of her own country.

It was a very grueling move.

‘Could this man be able to use his country’s emperor as a political shield? Or, was he really just busy?’

I even wondered if Theodore was really busy now.

But Princess Louise just went crazy thinking that the former was more likely.

Even from the position of the emperor of the Arkan Empire, he would have had no choice but to give preferential treatment to the chosen ones in his own country.

She would have allowed herself to be used as a political shield to prevent appeasement by other countries.

‘Then I can’t.’

Princess Louise decided to change her ways.

“I’m sorry about this. Then, when the report to His Majesty the Emperor of the Arkhan Empire is over, could you give me some time?”

“Originally, there would be other schedules, but since Princess Louise requested this, I can’t help it. I’ll report to Her Majesty and ask for permission.”

Princess Louise thought that Theodore’s soft smile went very well with his handsome face, but he was smirking.

Now this man had again used the emperor as a political shield.

‘It’s just to make the case that he gave up his time while asking permission from his own emperor.’

And what made it even more sad was that Princess Louise was in a position where she knew but had no choice but to suffer.

The imperial family of the Britannia Empire was already in a situation where there was no follow-up.
