"Heh~So this is the queen of humanity? Your mother is truly incredible."A brown-haired young woman wearing a tight white shirt as well as white pants commented with a chuckle. She was observing the heated stats of the colosseum after Lilith's speech, amusement and amazement clearly visible in her hazel colored eyes.Next to her, another person sat while hiding her features with a cloak, strands of purple hair could be seen if looked closely."My mother was always incredible."The brown-haired girl didn't miss the bitterness hidden in those words. She knew that the relationship between this mother-daughter pair wasn't best.Deciding to steer the discussion away, she continued,"Still, why didn't you show your identity? We could have entered the royal VIP room and you would have finally met your cousins after a long time."The purple-haired girl sighed wistfully as she said, "Today is an important day for Sol. I do not wish to become a source of distraction. It would not be too late to
"The last step is about to begin. Hehehe~ Alfred, I hope you have completed the mission I gave you."In one of the special rooms utilized only by the highest nobles, a red-haired man laid languidly with a blue wolf woman at his knees.He was none other than Leonard Gorfard. The Duke themselves did not join the festivities as they had to prepare themselves in the eventuality they were chosen for the first night. As such, only the heir/heiress was present, each of them, in the room representing their families."Young lord, the matter has been handled carefully. We have already, let's say, convinced some of the gladiators who will most likely be chosen. To be sure, we also incited the white knight.""Oh!? You managed to trick that goody two shoes? How?""From what I gathered, most of the paladins are dissatisfied with his Highness close relationship with The saintess.""Ex-saintess you mean. That bitch lost her blessing. I really wonder what wish she made.""Indeed, Ex saintess. Some of
Taking a deep breath, Sol stood up from his seat and began to fix his armor."So, it seems that you really hid my advancement level. I thought I was pretty weak, to be honest."He began to twirl his shoulder in an attempt to relax himself. The atmosphere surrounding him was slowly changing. He didn't care about the cheer he was receiving before even showing himself.Seeing this, Lilith smiled before nodding,"Well, strength or weakness are nothing more than relative ways of seeing things. The standard I hold you is way higher than anything else.""...I see." Sighing, he began to walk toward the large window of the lounge and asked, "So, how will it go?""The way you want it to go. You are the crown prince. You decide the rules as you see fit.""I see. Then, I won't hold backEither way, I am determined to win.""Ohoh! Is this hubris? Did your newly obtained power make your head swell in arrogance?""Arrogance?" Sol tilted his head in confusion before smiling, "No, never. I have people
A stunned silence filled the stands as the crowd had a hard time understanding the scene in front of them.Everything simply ended too fast. The first moment of the fight seemed as if the prince was somewhat struggling and had bitten more than he could chew, but suddenly, in a few seconds, the balance was completely broken as the four gladiators were brought down one after another.In the lounge belongings to the royal family, Lilith watched this display in a daze, her eyes seemingly reminiscing a scene of the past.She remembered how all those years ago she began to admire the boy who also displayed his power in the colosseum, under the eyes of the whole kingdom. They looked so much like each other, but–'Their demeanors are completely different.'Once again she was reminded that even though they had the same appearance, Sol and Mars were different. If she could say that his ways with women were because of her order, then she could only sigh as his current conduct was of his own choi
The moment Setsuna took off her helmet, an uproar swept through the crowd. Most people believed the gladiator king to be a man. An old and rugged man to boot. Never in their wildest imagination would they have thought that the strongest gladiator was a woman, and one so young.But, out of all of those, the biggest reaction was in the lounge belonging to the Gorfard family.Leonard, after seeing Sol's display, was already tearing his hair out in frustration as he screamed in the lounge.He couldn't accept that. He refused to accept that. The fact that this shitty prince was so powerful, he was an irregularity.'Yes! Camelia! The supreme daughter! It must be because of her, there's no other way.'Calming his bruised ego with his thoughts, he failed to notice the reaction of the slave beneath his feet as she murmured with a surprised expression.Sol, facing Setsuna, calmed himself down before closing his eyes in reminiscence."As we have promised back then, once I beat you, you will tell
>What did it feel like to be hit by a punch at the speed of the sound?Sol just tasted the answer.The entire Colosseum trembled as Sol was propulsed like a rocket before hitting the wall and becoming embedded in it.Even as his vision was obstructed by the debris of the wall and his mind slightly blacked out, he didn't know whether he should be amazed by the fact that Setsuna reached sonic speed or the fact that he didn't die under that hit.'Sigh. My situation is becoming increasingly worse.'He debated using his mirror dimensions but ultimately decided against it. This was a trump card he wanted to use for truly dangerous matters. Like the war for example. Keeping it a secret was for the best.'Well, since she used magic then I guess I can use intent now.'Exhaling a little, he firmed his resolve. His own intent was still a little weak and not complete because of his lack of experience, but it didn't matter. After all, he had something else to support him.
A young blue-haired girl was running with a blank expression on her face. She was wearing a bright white and red kimono filled with jewels.Despite her clearly expensive clothes that would make anyone envious, the situation she was in wasn't something to be envious of. After all, she was fleeing.Under the light of the moon, the princess was being pulled by one of her kunoichis. Despite that, she would sometimes look behind her in dismay.In her eyes, the reflection of the burning castle and the golden lightning falling like the Wrath of the Heavens was being seared in her young mind.High in the sky, three large wolves that were at least four meters tall, two with beautiful golden fur and another one with a deep blue color could be seen fighting. The result of this fight being of apocalyptic proportion. Lightning flashed and storms gathered. Nothing in a kilometer radius aside from the burning castle was still standing.Murmuring under her breath, tears began to gather and her blank
"I see, so you are Setsuna."In a large room, a blue haired little girl could be seen standing in front of a blonde haired woman.'Incredible! So this is the daughter of Castitas. How powerful.'It wasn't the first time she had met someone at the level of a ruler. But compared to her father, or even her uncle, the woman sitting with a faint smile in front of her made all her instinct scream in submission. She had to give her all to not simply roll over and show her stomach.Seemingly noticing her discomfort, Camelia showed a smiled in apology before dispersing the silent pressure that was filling the room."I am sorry. Your father was someone I respected very much. Hearing about his potential demise is something truly sad and I lost control of my emotions."Setsuna lowered her head at the mention of her father. Her eyes reddened as she fought to hold back her tears. No matter how far she had fallen, she was still the princess. She refused to show such a disgraceful sight to a stranger
