The supreme sovereign system

Chapter 421 - The Champion Of The North-part Two-

"Leister family?" Asked Dino.

"You… you don't know the Leister family?" Asked the big sister.

"No"

"What the… how come someone doesn't know about the Leister family?"

"Are they that big of a deal?"

"They are one of the imperial families in the capital!"

"Doesn't ring a bell" 

"Seriously…" 

The big sister massaged her eyebrows, this gesture made Dino laugh a bit.

"What?"

"No, sorry, is just that my sister does that a lot too" Said Dino.

"Sigh~, by the way,little guy, this big sister of yours… where is she?"

"Now that's a good question, she is supposed to be here, but I don't see her… oh! There she comes!" Said Dino.

The big sister turned in the direction of Dino and saw a beautiful woman with a long red dress walking side by side with the empress of the swords.

"She isn't normal" Thought the big sister.

She tried to peek into Alice's soul power…

But, she noticed something.

"She…"

"Oh! Big sister is looking here, hey~ big sis~ I am here!" Said Dino.

Alice smiled and waved her hand.

On the other hand, the big sister backed a bit while she smiled wryly at Alice.

"She is dangerous" Though the big sister.

A few seconds ago, just as she tried to see a bit of Alice's soul power. She felt a enormous pressure on her, almost like a mountain trying to crush her.

"She is an overlord… what is an overlord doing in this place?" Though the big sister.

"Cecil" Asked Alice.

"Yes?"

"Who is that woman?"

"Ah, she is Uri, mostly known as the champion of the north" Said Cecil.

"Champion of the north?"

"She comes from a poor family, however, she was born as a champion, a few years ago, two powerhouses of the north and the west were having a war, however, the repercussions of this war affected all the north. Not even the royal family could middle between these houses, however, they couldn't not do anything, so, they decided that have a champion of both families' fight"

"I assume that she fought for the north family?"

  "Yes, she defeated the represented of the west and thus acquired the title of the champion of the north" Said Cecil.

"Interesting…" Said Alice.

"What is a famous person like doing here though?" Asked Alice.

"The Leiser family surely isn't hiding their intention" Said Cecil.

Alice and Cecil walked towards the balcony, where the VIP people were currently watching the tournament.

However, just as they were about to enter the balcony, someone stopped them.

"Well, if isn't the empress, you sure took your time coming here" 

Cecil and Alice looked at a woman who was smiling at them. She had blonde hair in twin tails, a black long dress, and a pair of green eyes.

"Katy" Said Cecil.

"Is this the way to treat your guesses?" 

"Now you are a guess?" Said Cecil.

"Is your honor to have the Leiser family as your guess in your little town"

"Katy, do I have to remind you WHO are you talking to?" Asked Cecil.

Katy backed up a bit at seeing Cecil.

Although she was one hundred percent sure that Cecil wouldn't do anything to her, she was still the empress, there were very few people in Greycastle that could survive her wrath.

"I-I, don't get so cocky! Remember that we have the protection of his highness!" Said Katy.

Cecil was just a tiny bit away from taking out her sword, however, she looked at her side and saw Alice, who was as tranquil as water.

She took a deep breath and sighed.

"Move" Said Cecil.

Katy smiled, thinking that somehow she won.

She entered the VIP balcony leaving the entrance alone, Alice and Cecil entered and saw a couple of eyes looking at them.

  ""Welcome, our empress"" Said the maids and butlers.

"Mm" Answered Cecil.

"Empress" 

Cecil walked until she stopped beside two men. One of them was wearing a long black coat, he had red eyes and a big scar on his cheek.

"Hammon empress" Said the man.

"The head of the Vlads family honor us with his presence" Said Cecil.

"…" 

The other man, who had green eyes and blonde hair was looking silently on the side. He was older than anyone there, he was most likely in his late sixties, he was wearing a blue jacket with a fur coat.

"It's being a while, empress" Said the man.

"Indeed, it has been" Said Cecil.

"And this is?" Asked the man.

"Let me introduce you, Alice, he is the head butler of the Leiser family, Theo" Said Cecil.

Theo found it strange that Cecil was introducing him to Alice and not the other way around.

"It's a pleasure to meet you" Said Alice.

"The pleasure is mine… miss Alice" Said the man.

He extended his hand. Alice smiled and replied to the gesture.

At grabbing the butler's hand, Alice felt the pressure on her own hand, it wasn't intentional though, it was just the innate pressure of the butler.

"This butler…" Though Alice.

"Miss Cecil, my young lady can be a bit abrupt and fool-mouthed, I hope that you don't take offense" Said the butler.

"It's alright, I am used to your young lady's behavior" Said Cecil.

"Hey, are you talking behind my back?" Asked Katy.

"Of course not, my young lady" Said the butler.

"We will on our way, miss Cecil, miss Alice, I hope you have a good day"

The butler bowed towards Alice and Cecil and walked away with his young lady.

"Who is that butler?" Asked Alice.

"I knew that my overlord would notice" Smiled Cecil.

"He doesn't have a name, he was adopted by the Leiser family and have been living like the butler of them since forever, he is famous for being the watchdog of the Leiser family, he is an expert in hand-on-hand combat, even I am a bit afraid of him, of course, I don't think that I would lose but there is no doubt that I will not come without harm, maybe I will lose an arm or a leg" Said Cecil.

Alice nodded and looked back at the tournament.

"It seems that the round of sixteen is about to start" Said Alice.
