Chapter 230

Prince Lukavv smiled and spoke with a lot of enthusiasm when he remembered the swordsmanship of the other guy, "Yes, I was able to comprehend the sword of thorny paths . I had this skill for a long time but there was no success till now . It was only yesterday when I got some inspiration regarding it when I saw someone else’s swordsmanship in the arena . I wonder who was that guy in the arena . "

Bruno was quite surprised as he too tried the technique but was unsuccessful as it needed a threshold in strength to practice it .

He asked Lukavv, "Who was it that attracted your interest, Milord . I don’t think there is anyone in the kingdom who can compete with you when it comes to close-combat . Well, it is true when it comes to your age group . "

Lukavv smiled and thought about the fighter he witnessed, "Well, I don’t know about him . I will again check him out today when I go to the arena . Yes, let immediately go there, The arena matches will soon start . Today I will be taking part in it . Start Preparations . "

Hearing him, Duncan nodded and started the preparations . "Yes, Milord . "

At this time, An Arrogant Hector who was in his teenage came in with Alistair to meet his brother who was training previously .

Hector asked as he watched both of them training, "Hmm . . . Alistair, who do you think is more powerful? My Brother or General Bruno?"

Alistair looked at both of them and honestly gave an answer, "It’s Prince of course . Prince has been unrivaled since he was a child . He has no rival at his age . "

Hector nodded and asked another question, "What about Felix and Lukavv?"

With a Dilemma, Alistair answered smartly with furrowed up brows and a smile, "Now that’s difficult to judge . I guess that will depend on a duel between them . "

Watching Lukavv not paying attention to Hector, He roared at Lukavv, "Hey where are you going, I just arrived right now . You were supposed to train with me . Don’t tell me that you forgot already . "

Lukavv smiled as he saw Hector’s grumpy face, "I have made a special appointment today . I need to leave . You should go and play with other brothers and sisters . I am busy these days . "

Without even listening to Hector’s reply he signaled Duncan, Bruno and left for arena again .

Hector thought and asked, "Now, I think something is fishy, he wouldn’t be in a hurry unless it is important . What do you think Alistair? Do you think father called him up?"

Alistair thought and spoke, "True indeed, he would usually cancel his appointments if he had to spend time with his other brothers . I guess something important came up . From his excited look, I guess it is related to Military or Special Techniques . Prince has quite an interest in impressive techniques So that’s my guess . Just recently he mastered Royal Family’s 3 point slash . Maybe his Majesty has called him for his previous achievement . "

Hector nodded and asked, "Hmm . . . I guess that’s true . How much time do you think I will take to learn those techniques and be as strong as my brothers, Felix and Lukavv?"

Alistair acted as if he didn’t hear him but Prince Hector shouted as he ignored him .

"Hey!!!"

Alistair spoke with a sigh as he had no choice, "I think it is very hard to calculate your potential, my Lord . I think only your other brothers can judge your potential . I don’t think a nobody like me can judge you . "

Hearing their conversation, Charlie came in with a smile and spoke with a mocking tone, "You and strong? Don’t daydream . That Butler of yours is simply buttering you up so as not to offend you . As far as strength is concerned, Lukavv is hella stronger Felix . Even a duffer will know about this fact . He will most likely inherit the throne . The only plus point for Felix is that he is engaged politically and militarily which is why most of the lords and generals are supporting Felix . But most of the guys anyway fear Lukavv’s strength and hence avoid offending him in case he decided to engage politically or he holds a grudge to get rid of them in future . "

With an angry tone, Hector asked, "Why do you think Lukavv is stronger? They haven’t fought yet . And how would an illegitimate bastard like you know anything about them? Both of them are most likely hiding their true strengths . You have just arrived and don’t know shit . "

Hearing Hector, Charlie spoke with a mocking tone, "Why do you think they haven’t fought yet? Most of the lords fear that the duel will expose Felix’s true strength and hence avoid this topic . Most of the Lord’s have seen Lukavv’s real strength . Meanwhile, Brother Lukavv doesn’t feel the need to prove himself as he is always striving to get stronger . "

Felix who was about to enter the hall stopped as he heard the conversation between Hector and Charlie . He was already in a bad mood because of the gossip from ministers who were talking about Lukavv’s previous achievement in the war where he single-handedly fought the Demon general, Wrath in West .

He angrily spoke as heard them, "Lukavv this, Lukavv that . I am fed up of this comparison . Do they think that only strength is important? As an elder brother, I should inherit the throne and still father and all of those all fogies are delaying this matter . Hmph . . . I will teach them what is strength . Strength of my conspiracies . I am not his older brother for no reason . "

With a dark light in his eyes, he left for the training grounds .

Felix’s butler too shivered as he heard Felix who was leaking out killing intent .

"Let’s leave . "

"Yes, Milord . "

Alistair was alerted a bit as he sensed Killing Intent but soon relaxed as the person leaking the Killing intent was not directing it towards the Princes and had left immediately .

Alistair sighed and thought as he saw Felix’s butler, ’I guess this will end up in a bloody struggle for the throne . It’s good that Prince is still in his teenage or he would have suffered’

At the arena,

Before entering the arena, Prince Lukavv smiled and spoke to Bruno,

"You should bet on me already . The guys will be happy to have a feast on our earnings . "

Bruno scratched his head and spoke, "You jest, Milord, How can I earn this way . This is dishonorable for a Knight . I will rightfully earn it on the battlefield . "

In his mind, he thought, ’Of course I already bet on you . Why would I want to miss this opportunity when the odds are 10:1 . ’

Prince laughed as he left for the arena where multiple fights were taking place .

’Dishonorable? Bullshit . You love money more than anything . ’

Prince Lukavv was keenly watching the arena as he prepared for his fight, "It seems I have to fight that oversized guy . Where is that guy that I saw yesterday? Hmm . . . there he is . It seems he will have a hard fight . Anyway, let’s focus on this big guy here . I hope I can get a few more things on his Thorn Technique . "

The guy being watched sensed that Lukavv was watching him but he shrugged and focused on his own battle .

Prince Lukavv was in a disguise as he was fighting his opponent who was twice his size .

The oversized man looked at Lukavv and spoke with a mocking tone, "Hahaha, I guess you are quite desperate since you have chosen to come here and earn money . However, it is your unlucky day . You should surrender before the bets start because I haven’t left any of my opponents alive till today . It is different for knights to come here and sharpen their blade and it is different for skinny guys like to enter . You see I have quite a grudge on you pathetic beggars because of whom I ended up here . previously I was a knight but who knew that just for killing a commoner I would be indicted here however when I spoke about others Officers doing the same I was simply ignored . "

Suddenly a gong was heard which signaled the start of fights in the arena .

The announcer spoke, "I hope everyone here has made their bet . We should enjoy today’s feast . "

The Oversized guy immediately charged at Lukavv who was focusing on this match .

Lukavv simply dodged his attacks at first so as not raise suspicion on his abilities .

While doing this, he was quietly observing the guy from whom he got the inspiration for Sword of thorny paths .

Lukavv saw him and murmured as he simply dodged the attacks of that oversized guy, "Hmm . . . that guy is quite agile but his aura is quite messed up . I guess he is a vagabond . "

The Oversized guy was quite angry when he saw that Lukavv wasn’t even paying attention to him and was simply dodging his attacks without any intention to attack .

Lukavv saw that the guy had finished his opponent with the same move as he did yesterday .

The guy had used his saber as some dark and fire energy engulfed the saber and attacked immediately . His opponent was killed instantly as there were some sighs in the crowd .

One of the guys in the crowd spoke with anger, "Damn it, I saw him yesterday as well . He looks frail and weak but he always finishes his opponent in 1 stroke . Next time I am betting on him . "

"Don’t even try, that guy has different moods . Sometimes he would surrender without a reason and leave the arena . Betting on him is like betting on a going to North from the seas . "

Looking the guy had finished his opponent, Lukavv smiled and used his own sword technique, 2 step sword .

The oversized guy was horrified as he looked at Lukavv’s killing intent, "Okay, I will ask one time only . Who were the officers that killed the commoners?"

The oversized guy laughed as he heard Lukavv, "Why, you want to kill them? They would simply squash you . Your puny attack won’t work on them . They work under Prince Felix and other Lords . If you leave me alive, I can speak more . "

Without waiting for him to finish, Lukavv slashed his neck without even using any magic power .

Lukavv cleaned his sword as he spoke, "Hmph . . . It’s good that I met you here . "

Lukavv thought as he killed the guy, ’It seems Felix is quite bad at controling his officers . ’

Apophis who had just defeated her opponent noticed that Lukavv was continuously looking in her direction, "Creepy guy . But he is quite strong . He is hiding a lot of his strength . I guess he just came here for fun . "

****

These days King Lionheart was quite happy as he got to know about Lukavv’s duel with Demon General Wrath .

He thought as he read the recent reports, ’It’s good that Lukavv is strong however he is very naive when it comes to politics . I guess this is good as it balances the power between Felix and Lukavv . ’

At this time, Eanred was in his chambers with King Lionheart as King Lionheart asked him to do a prediction on his future .

Eanred sighed as he saw King Lionheart’s cheerful face, "Such amount of resources . Reckless as ever . "

Lionheart scolded in a happy tone, "Start the ritual, damn old men . I am rarely this happy . "

Eanred nodded and signaled his disciples to start the ritual .

He sighed and spoke, "I guess this can’t be helped . Okay, start it . Follow my orders precisely . The same goes for you, Lionheart . "

"Yes, Master . "

Lionheart nodded and signaled his agreement .
