Chapter 125: The Little Lion and The Country of Small People (2)
Adelaide was flustered.
When a country’s king suddenly pointed a sword and asked for a match, she couldn’t help but be surprised.
No, where in the world was there a high-ranking person who would challenge a prisoner to a duel…
…Oh, there might be more than I thought?
In Adelaide’s mind, images of the Lord of Tik-Tok happily gulping down the witch’s soup, the adventure-crazed guild branch manager, and the duchess obsessed with framing Lennart mask portraits flashed by.
Since there were many madmen among high-ranking people, perhaps a duel challenge was unexpectedly ordinary?
What helped the confused Adelaide were the other small people around.
“Y-Your Majesty! Please reconsider! You must maintain your dignity as the heir to the throne!”
“That’s right, Your Majesty! If something were to happen to your royal body, how would we handle the aftermath!?”
“Although restrained now, giants are originally very violent beings! If carelessly released, it would take great effort to capture again!”
Just as Adelaide was feeling relieved, thinking, “Ah, I’m not the strange one,” His Majesty the King of the small people replied indifferently, “It’s fine. I won’t die.”
The expressions of the retainers soured in an instant.
