The Moonlight Swordsman



This guy doesn't seem to even care that his child has died." Aizel thought.

[Now I understand where that bitch comes from]

They are all like that in this world."

[He might be planning something for you, Master. He will try to do everything for you and present himself like a good man in front of you. So that you will become his young War God of the kingdom]

I know already that this idiot thinks he is one sly person."

"So how was your group mission? I heard you brought a traitor back with you alive." The King asked, looking towards Zareena.

"Yes Father, we hunted the Cursed Magi and even captured their Grade IV leader. He is right now imprisoned in the dungeon along with his companion." Zareena replied.

"Hahahaha, Zareena has grown a lot stronger and has become quite a leader." The Water Saint said it with a laugh.

"I am proud of you, Zareena," The King said with a smile.

"King, I have something to demand from you." Suddenly Alecra stood and spoke.

"And who are you?" King asked.

"Pardon my King for the interruption; I am Alecra Eudora. The current head of the Eudora family."

"Ohh.. So you are Rose's son. Well speak, what do you have in mind?"

"I want Aizel to apologize for his recent action against me and my household." 

King glanced at Aizel with a confused look. 

"He not only broke into my house without my permission but also slammed my head against the ground. If the Water Saint was not present there, he could have even taken my life."

"Hmm...why nobody told me about this?" King asked.

"I mean look at you, you are a Grade III mage and a noble family head. And you got your ass handed by a junior.

"And now here you are complaining in front of me. I don't like this sort of stuff. Just challenge him to a fight or something.

"Make it a little interesting; what do you think, Aquarian? 

"Hahahaha, it's been a long time since I have seen something like this. It will be interesting, my king."

"See, what do you all think about it," The king asked, looking towards the rest of the noble heads.

"I agree with the king. This sort of thing should be resolved with fighting, ahaha," Yongiri said.

"I was waiting for you to open your mouth and say that," Xavier Valtor replied.

"Yes, but a battle to the death should be avoided. We've already lost so many mages and heads. We can't give any chance to Theodora." Madam Evergreen said.

"Yes, even I am not going to fight myself. I am the head of my family, and I have many responsibilities now. 

"I will send one of my mages from the family to fight Aizel. To make it more interesting, if my mage wins, Aizel has to give up his position in the tournament.

"And if he wins, he can ask me anything," Alecra said.

Everyone looked at Aizel at the same time, waiting for his response.

"You got cold feet or what?" I didn't know a noble head could act so pussy. 

"Are you all the same as him?" Aizel mocked instead.

"The fuck you are comparing me with this looser kid,' Yongiri was the first one to get snapped.

"I am ashamed to group myself with this idiot," Raigun Redmont said, shaking his head in disappointment.

"I am not afraid; it's just that I am quite busy with my town's construction," Alecra replied. 

He started to sweat in buckets after noticing his surroundings.

"Are you personally building your town?" Aizel asked again.

This asshole is doing it on purpose." Alecra thought.

"Do you want me to give you a handicap or what? How about 2 v 1 or do you still have to build your town?"

"Excellent, I like this. Even the young War God is not afraid of battles. You did well to train him, Vespara," the King said.

Vespara only nodded with a little smile.

"It's done. The young War God will fight against Alecra and one of his family mages in the upcoming two days.

"And I will personally make the arrangements for it." The King declared, and everyone clapped their hands in agreement.

[Why did you do that, Master? Even if this guy is weak, we don't know about another guy]

I can't leave him alive. I will not be able to wrap my mind around it until I get rid of this scum. I will do whatever it takes." 

The death of that Aaron kid is heavy on my mind. I have to take it out somewhere."

[It seems we have to make another preparation for it.]

Yes, in two days, we will wreck both of them in front of everyone,"

*****

Pearl Inn,

Aizel and Vespara found themselves back in their room, the remnants of their meeting with the king still fresh in their minds.

They sat around a small table, sharing a meal with Shelly and Daisy, recounting every detail of the intense gathering.

"So now you are going to fight against two mages at the same time?" Shelly asked.

"Yes, pretty much."

"Isn't that a little difficult for you?" Shelly asked.

"Maybe or maybe not. I don't care about that now."

"You should pay attention to the king. He already has his eyes on you," Vespara said.

"Yes, I know about that."

"Don't give him any reason to get the upper hand on you. No matter how dire the situation or you will regret it for the rest of your life,"

Aizel nodded.

"I don't like this, why do you even have to fight in the first place?" Shelly asked in annoyance.

"About that, it was kinda my fault, haha."

Shelly sighed.

"Do you wanna head towards Alora's place with me? I have to do something important back there too."

"Yes, it's been a while. I think we should take a little break," Aizel replied.

"You are going to her home? But how? Where does she live?" Vespara quickly asked.

"Huh...about that, she uses some kind of magic to teleport us directly to her home. Even we both don't know where she live," Aizel lied.
