Chapter 69: A Duel(4)
At first, Raiden did not want to be the judge of the duel, but due to the request of the second princess of the Empire, Celestina Kaiserfalken Von Germainia. He had complied.
He knew what she wanted.
She wanted to know the difference between Felix and Noah—Who was the strongest among them?
She had always tried to gather strong figures around her. Be it politically, magically or physically strong. And who would not want to associate with Royalty?
The other reason he agreed to her request was due to the voice in his head—Gabriel. He already warned Raiden about Noah, which is why he wanted to stop Felix from fighting.
But that stubborn guy. He gave in to his anger anyway.
The first day of his new life had just started. But even he couldn't have guessed what was about to unfold.
When he signalled for the duel to start, he thought everything should go smoothly. According to him—Noah would win over Felix. How did he know?
The warning from Gabriel to not mess with him and the way he carried himself. It showed—It showed that Noah was not some run-of-the-mill noble who could only boast.
He was a man who had fought for survival. And spat in the face of death itself.
And the air that exudes from him feels like being frozen and burned at the same time. He might carry himself with the elegance befitting of a noble, but he never seemed like one.
