Chapter 146: Challenged
Dominic made a note for the Princess that the forges were having personal drama, but it didn’t appear to be anything that was deliberately sabotaging their progress. Just a personal grudge.
He was just stepping out of the forge when someone shouted his name.
His full name.
"Advisor Dominic Wavemates! Stand and deliver. I demand satisfaction today!" The nobleman insisted.
"You’re not really my type. I’m sure I can find you a lover if you want, though. Lord? Sorry, I have no idea who you are." Dominic replied.
The two Royal Guards laughed behind their hands, and one of them whispered an explanation to Dominic.
{He’s demanding a duel. I think he wants you to drop out of contention for Princess Alexis.}
Dominic nodded slightly as the enraged Nobleman stormed toward him. Not only had the Advisor insulted his demand, then questioned his sexuality, he even had the gall to insult his lineage as not noteworthy?
The Nobleman tossed his glove in Dominic’s face with a hateful grin, and Dominic raised a hand to stop the Royal Guard assigned to him from stepping forward.
"We can settle this now if you would like. Or tomorrow at noon, your choice." Dominic agreed, then picked up the glove and threw it back in its owner’s face.
"I, Johnathan, third son of Baron Don Farleigh, will settle this today. Magitech Duel, pistols at ten paces."
