Chapter 20: Hunting competition (2)
In the middle of the hunting competition, inside the forest, Alan Aiden was on horseback with his head bowed, and he was swearing.
"Damn it, damn you, Physis Ortaire and Rodenov....!"
The swear words that he spat out were tinged with deep anger and hatred. After insulting Adilun and being beaten by Physis, no one around him tried to come to him and offer help in their fight for the territory. It was as if they were buried in an aristocratic society.
'I couldn't even find someone to help me with a great duel because those Rodenov and Ortaire combined, had the strongest power among all the nobles within the empire.'
Central nobles were the ones who enjoyed watching other people's ruin, so they just happily laughed at Alan.
'It's crazy. I should have done that in an undetected place.'
'How can I be so stupid?'
'I recognized it from the time I hung out with the lowly merchants. I did nothing wrong, and What does that Physis, a man without dignity believe in and be so proud of?'
A strong bond of central nobles, nothing like that actually existed. It was a relationship where everyone used each other for their own needs.
Because of that, the only thing left in front of Alan Aiden was the abyss called the great duel with Rodenov, so that's why he was cursing Physis and all the local nobles.
The knights of Rodenov are notorious for their ruthlessness. Alan never thought that the knights of his territory would defeat those who had been fighting monsters all their life.
'Yes, if I'm going to die anyway... ... I will just not die simply. Yes, I will do this...'
