Travel to another world and continue to be a boxer

Chapter 234: Holy Knight of Atlasia (2)

“This is indeed a troublesome matter. My heart aches for my treatment of you. If you were my subject, I would protect you with all my strength.”

"Oh? Your Majesty, are you saying that people who don't work for you are not worth protecting? If Senna heard this, she would be disillusioned."

Albert tried to shift the blame, but Ye Kai retorted sharply.

“Well. Using your grandson as a shield to threaten is despicable, Ye Kai. Because you are easy to protect yourself, I let you go free. This is based on trust.”

"I understand. I will escape or break free if I care about myself. Try to stay within your majesty's sight."

Even if you are joking and interrupting the work, there is a limit. In fact, the secretary has already started to glare at him. Ye Kai said this to make sure that Albert, who likes to play pranks, might feel more relaxed.

----------------

"Don't go too far, Your Excellency."

The nobleman seemed to be admonishing him as he drank the fruit wine while clinking his glasses, but the smile on his face made it seem as if no one would think he was serious.

“That guy, I thought he would get angry if I provoked him a little, but it’s really hard for him to show his flaws.”

"That cunning boy is not an easy opponent to deal with. Even a head-on attack may be difficult. Don't be impatient. Don't do anything bloody in the palace."

“I understand.”

(Humph, even powerful nobles have to please...)

Although Foldit was unhappy in his heart, he still had a smile on his face. Without that person's support, they would not be able to pay enough money to their country.

(The Silver Claw of the Devil is worthy of his name. Since that guy showed up, Holzlein has become so difficult to deal with. The place that was once jokingly called the "Western Vault"...)

Although it was not said publicly, some people did say it internally, however tactlessly. In less than a decade, all this has changed dramatically.

The magic boxers became popular, and the royal family that they respected also grew in popularity. Even though the heroes became legends, the royal family continued to maintain their popularity as participants in the story, while the Church of Atrasia began to lose the hearts of the people.

In any case, if he doesn't defeat the Magic Boxer in a direct duel, good luck will not come. However, the Magic Boxer doesn't seem willing to accept the challenge. Fordite is troubled by this, but an unexpected opportunity is about to come.

What he expects to happen often happens when he doesn't want it to happen.

----------------

At the Holzlein Palace, Reed also played on the windowsill. If anything, sometimes there was a pursuer.

"Squeak!"

"Wait for me!"

Reed listened to Zayn's running footsteps while running on the windowsill at a proper distance. He occasionally peeked into the window, then called out to Zayn and started running again. Although it was unclear who was enjoying the game, it was clear that both the man and the beast were enjoying it.

They chased and played, admired the flowers in the vase, or pestered the palace maids who happened to pass by. Even if the game was monotonous, they would add changes and continue to play.

However, the game of chase came to an abrupt end.

Reed turned over immediately after noticing that Zayn's footsteps had disappeared. Zayn would not be bored enough to give up in the middle of a game, and would definitely make a sound even if he was tired. No sound meant something was happening.

"hiss--!"

The first thing that caught her eye was Zayn's uneasy expression. Then she saw the back of a man in silver armor. Reed recognized the armor. It was the knight who had provoked Ye Kai and his men in the corridor. Sensing danger, she immediately jumped in front of Zayn and began to threaten him.

"Will there be filthy beasts in such a place?"

Looking around, Kusgan raised the corner of his mouth and showed a disgusting smile. Then he put his hand on the hilt of the long sword and said.

“This is God’s will. I will purify you.”

"no!"

Although it was not clear, Zayn stood up to protect Reed in fear. Zayn took out the dagger from the "warehouse" and although his gestures were unsteady, he still took a stance.

"Kid, even if it's a toy, you understand what it means to point a knife at someone, right?"

“I want to protect!”

In Zayn's eyes, Reid was a friend. An important friend who needed protection. Although his legs were shaking with fear, he absolutely could not give in.

“Hiss…hiss—!”

Zayn didn't notice that Reed's magic power was expanding. Feeling something bad, Kusgan pulled out his sword slightly.

"You want to draw your sword? Against a kid like this."

With these words, a fighting spirit came over him, and Kusgan's spine shivered.

"If there is no actual harm, I would not mind letting you go, but it seems impossible, right? Well. As you wish, I will accept the challenge. Duel."

------------------

“This stupid guy!!”

Fordite scolded the holy knight he summoned.

"It was no problem to pull that guy out. Just as planned. But what about drawing a sword on a royal family! If he hadn't started the fight first, you would have been beheaded for disrespect! Even I can't protect you anymore!"

"Isn't this great? If I defeat the Magic Boxer, the dignity of Atlasia will be upheld."

"You should exercise your brain more. Even if you win this game, the Church of Atlasia has no place in Holzlein anymore! Being considered a suspect of rebellion is unavoidable."

"I don't understand what you mean, Your Majesty. Is it necessary to pay attention to the people who don't believe in God Atel? My mission is only to eliminate the enemies of the church. I have nothing else to do here."

“Even if you don’t, I do…”

There was a hint of resignation in Fordite's words. Zayn, who was rescued from a situation that was about to break out, was brought back to the room by Ye Kai with tears in his eyes. He had no intention of putting Kusgan in trouble, but the situation he cried to Eleanor undoubtedly became a big problem.

Eleanor's guard knight reported the situation and was about to issue an order to capture Kusgan, but Ye Kai stopped it and announced that he would solve all the problems through a duel.

Albert had not expected such a situation to happen, and he wanted to stop it, but the situation did not allow it. Rumors had spread that the Holy Knights of Atlassia would draw their swords against the prince and that the Magic Fist would swing the Fist of Justice.

So, Ye Kai and Kusgan confronted each other in the center of the palace training ground.
