"This will be our last fight before the start of your ceremony. Are you ready?""I am, don't forget our deal. If I succeed in breaking your sword or wounding you in a place that should have been fatal, I win. Once I win, you will listen to one of my demands.""Breaking my sword would mean that your intent was stronger than mine, any warriors need to be rewarded. So I will listen to any requests from you."Sol and Lilith stood apart on the clearing that was repeatedly bathed in Sol blood during the span of those forty days.Perhaps in the future, he would look back to those days with fondness, but currently, he just shivered at the thought and decided to lock those days behind a wall.Lilith was wearing her usual ridiculously revealing purple Qipao, a glowing blue large sword in her hand, while Sol stood in his trousers and a glowing golden long sword in his.This was a pure mana construct. Few if any used intent in such a crude way in a fight. Each hit would cost too much mana to main
"Since I have won, I will make my request now."Lilith, who was previously blushing a little, had her face pale at the speed of light the moment she heard his words."Please, tell me your greatest secret."The wind stirred as Lilith faced the resolute eyes of Sol.She didn't bother to play dumb. For him to ask something like that would mean that he had already received some hint from someone else. Most likely Camelia.Of course, she also knew that Camelia was unlikely to have given him too much information, and as such she could easily lie to him, but she refused to do it. At least not now. Sol wasn't a child anymore."Please ask something else."She wasn't ready yet. She did not want to reveal this secret. If possible she would have loved to take this secret to the grave and never let Sol discover it.Surprisingly, Sol didn't insist,"Alright. So how about that. Let's have a date."What kind of nonsensical idea her nephew had again?Sol, standing in front of his mirror in his bedroom
Sol was somewhat ashamed. In his nearly fifteen years of life, the moments he really spent time outside of the tower, while albeit rare, were quite numerous as he regularly visited the church and also visited the coliseum when he was younger.But the moment he truly spent exploring this city? Never once.He generally was in a carriage extremely protected or directly used the gate for his movement. As such, even though he was the one who initiated that date, the one giving the direction was Lilith.Lilith wasn't some introverted queen who thought she was too high to step to the commoner level. At least, before becoming a queen, she spent much of her time as an adventurer and explored many parts of this city or the world.Sol had some experience dating in his past life, but this experience couldn't be completely used here. Still, it was enough to not become an embarrassment.They mutually decided to omit the shopping part. All their clothes were tailor suited and created with the greate
Leaving the south zone, they entered the North one. They were completely opposite and quite far apart, but compared to his hell training, walking such a long way was just relaxing.The north zone was under Duke Highland. The Duke was directly responsible of the army as well as the highest-ranked soldier.If the zone under the Milaris family was full of stores, restaurants, and others such things, the zone under Highland was calmer and sparsely populated. The atmosphere felt more deary and full of solemnity.This was the zone where different martial art schools could be found.All the humans could awaken to mana once they reached 15 years old. But only 10% of them could have a capacity high enough to make a contract with a rank E magical being and if they were lucky to obtain an element could they use magic. Only 1 out of 100 people could make a contract with a D rank magical being.In short, 99% of the human population was unable to use magic. The fact that even a queen like Lilith wa
(AN: This chapter was asked by the *******. These events happen just one day before Sol awakened his core or two days after Sol took Camelia’s virginity.)"Head maid, the breakfast is ready to be served.""I see. I hope you avoided the things his highness did not like.""Head maid, what about her majesty’s breakfast?""Do as always. She isn't picky."The maids snickered at the obvious difference in way she was acting. Despite that, none of them were particularly surprised. It wasn't the first time and it has been for more than ten years."Head maid, his highness is awake and is about to take a bath.""Was the temperature set to ideal?""Who is the one on service today?""Two of the newbie and one who already served for about two years.""Any of them already received His highness favors?"The maid frowned as she took a notebook before checking the name."One of the newbies was part of a previous rotation and already received his favor. The other two did not."One of the maids blushed h
Under the darkness of his room, Sol laid on his bed, eyes open.After the rather heavy discussion, none of them were particularly interested in continuing the date so they decided to go back, each of them heavy with their own thoughts."Well, agonizing is useless. I need to pay attention to tomorrow. But–"He didn't really need any more preparation for tomorrow's fight in the coliseum. Of course, he could have entered Edea's world but it wouldn't have helped much. He needed to relax. He needed to rest.Rousing from his bed, he walked out of his bedroom and began to walk toward the maid quarters. More precisely, Milia's room. He needed her help to alleviate the suspicions he had.The maid quarters were at the west of the large floor dedicated to Sol. Reaching it, he turned a little and finally reached the door of Milia's room.'Now that I think about it, I have never entered her room.'"Milia. It's Sol. I need to talk to you.""Yo-you're highness! Kya!"He tried to open the door but wa
"Your highness, are you sure you won't regret it?"Looking at his reflection in the mirror, Sol smiled a little.His current appearance was different from his usual one. All his life, Sol had always been told how much he looked like his father. He couldn't do much for his facial features, but some little changes, such as his hair.Until now, Sol always kept his hair long. At least until waist length. He had to admit that it was the chuunibyou in him speaking back then and he still liked it. But, a change was necessary. If he wanted people to stop comparing him to his father, he had to at least look different from his father."Sorry, I was spacing out, and no–I won't regret it. And–I look really good right now, don't I?"Milia felt her heart pierced by a giant arrow at the hundred-megawatt smile Sol just sent to her.She had to admit, Sol with short hair had a real new type of charm."Your highness was already incredibly handsome. Now though, you have a different type of smile. More li
In this world of sword and magic, even though magic tech was somewhat developed in some countries such as Greed dike the country of dwarves, or Slothtein the country of Angels, most people lived mundane life and as such had few ways to amuse themselves aside from fucking and fighting.When Lustburg was first created officially after leaving the control of the elves, the king Jupiter was faced with a massive issue.Attractions weren't just a way to bring amusement to the citizens. It was also a way to make them spend as much money as possible and increase the cash-flow of the country.That's when the King had an idea. Creating a special attraction that would not only help the citizens have a source of distraction, increase the cash-flow of the newly created kingdom, and finally train more competent warriors.Thus, the colosseum was created. A place where slaves fought and died by killing each other or by fighting beasts for the joy and pleasure of the citizens.Nowadays, thanks to Mars
