History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 335

335fury. Shortcut to hegemony (1)

“majesty. Do you have any desire to bully me and beat me up??”

“……what?”

Slightly wide eyes.

Eyebrows furrowed as if asking what you are talking about.

Seeing the king like that, Lloyd was convinced..

‘It worked.’

Lloyd swallowed a meaningful smile..

The proposal just presented to the King.

It was the kind of offer that the King Alicia he knew could never refuse..

‘of course. Because he must have been secretly, or rather, overtly disgusting with me. I'm sure you've probably looked at me more than once and thought, 'Oh my gosh, I want to slap that guy.'.’

I had already noticed that kind of behavior a long time ago..

The king's eyes are looking this way.

That was because I felt that his eyes occasionally flashed like those of a wild beast looking at its prey..

‘but. When I think about it, I must have been quite hateful to the King. There was even a time when I put a straw in my mouth. Well, that doesn't mean the King's sister suffered any losses because of me..’

Rather, there were numerous benefits..

But apart from those benefits.

I had a feeling that he was secretly despicable towards this side..

That's why.

I thought about actively taking advantage of the king's emotions and desires(?)..

He loaded his tongue with an attractive offer that the King could not refuse..

He fired without hesitation, as if firing crossfire..

“So this is what I tell you, Your Majesty. I, Lloyd Frontera, dare to ask you, to raise the sword of sparring against you at your training ground..”

“The sword of sparring? Against Jim?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“Does that mean you want to challenge Jim to a sparring match??”

“So it is, Your Majesty..”

“Surely now? right now?”

“That's right, Your Majesty..”

“Why?”

“This is because I would like to give you a somewhat special answer to the question you asked a moment ago..”

He said, spinning slightly..

But King Alicia was still a king..

I immediately caught the true meaning of this vague answer..

“……It means that other ears that will hear your answer are offended. Am I right?”

“I can only apologize and accept that you understand my true feelings like this..”

“Is this something that others should not hear?.”

“I dare to ask you, Your Majesty, to listen and judge..”

“You're so cocky.”

“I apologize..”

“sincerely?”

“I also apologize for that..”

“……Tsk. Somehow I don't get tired of saying a word.”

“Seong-eun is devastated. No, I apologize..”

“…….”

Is that guy doing that on purpose?.

Are you provoking me to please hit me?.

King Alicia's eyes became pale..

“Your suggestion sounds like I should knock you if I can. Is what Jim understood correct??”

“How dare I…….”

“Because I became a sword master. is not it?”

“……Have you been looking into it??”

“of course.”

King Alicia nodded..

Actually, when I received an audience earlier, I realized it as soon as I saw Lloyd..

That person seems to have become a sword master..

I felt very surprised and strange inside..

‘Last time I saw him, he was only at the intermediate level of Sword Expert. But I don't know what happened in that short period of time, but I appeared to have reached the beginning of becoming a Sword Master..’

I was curious.

The spirit of victory arose..

On the one hand, I felt embarrassed..

“It's good. Whether you are a Sword Master or not, I cannot be more grateful to you for understanding my heart that wants to beat you. Also, it would not be my duty as a monarch to ignore your sincere request..”

“If so, will you allow my request to spar??”

“If you are prepared to die by the threshing of my wooden sword, then you will be willing..”

“…….”

“Let me go.”

Ah, the mental fatigue that had accumulated from running state affairs was quite considerable..

Today I will relieve all that stress without any hesitation..

King Alicia stood up with her heart strangely pounding(?)..

I left the office accompanied by Lloyd..

Went to a private training ground.

As soon as we arrived at the training ground, all the escorts, including the guard commander, retreated far away..

Hehehe…….

A training ground in the middle of the night with just the two of us left.

Under the quiet moonlight, the king stood quietly holding a wooden sword..

I glanced at the guards who had retreated far away and smiled..

“Is this enough??”

“Yes, Your Highness. maybe.”

Lloyd responded politely, unfolding a portable folding shovel..

“Although the guards have excellent hearing, they will not be able to hear the conversation that coincides with the clash of your wooden sword and my shovel..”

“I guess so. That's what you want.”

“I am very sorry that I have no choice but to prepare a space for such a troublesome discussion, Your Majesty..”

“What am I sorry about? Now I will be able to express my regrets with my body, not my mouth..”

“…….”

“I hope your skills do not disappoint Jim. Come on, come.”

Cheochuk.

The king took a stance.

It wasn't a particularly grandiose stance..

I just subtly changed the angle of one toe..

But with that one movement.

Her mood changed..

Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo…….

Circulation and resonance of enormous mana.

The momentum of a strong man with countless practical experiences.

Truly bloody fighting filled the training ground..

Lloyd's uvula was moved up and down..

“…….”

As expected, the King’s sister is no joke..

No matter how much we spar, I'm not in the mood to ever look at it..

‘This is a different level of pressure than Javiel..’

I actually don't feel the pressure on Javiel because he has such a huge difference in skill..

The power of the King’s sister touches my skin..

Because it’s just slightly better than this one.

It felt more bloody.

But Lloyd was not intimidated..

‘Because I am also a sword master.’

Although the level difference is quite large,.

But if you try hard and try hard?

I guess I can somehow rub it together..

We will be able to withstand the king's offensive and get our side to say what we have to say..

‘That's the only way to convey our proposal secretly, avoiding the keen hearing of the guards. The King has numerous people by his side 24 hours a day and is under their strong protection..’

Especially in the past, after the attempted assassination of the king, the guard became even more watertight..

Therefore, it was not easy to get an opportunity like this..

‘So let's hold on. Let’s hold on and say what we have to say. If this negotiation is successful, the bigger picture will be truly successful. You can get the royal family's new item, summer eyes..’

Lloyd swore fiercely..

I made up my mind.

And exactly 0.5 seconds later.

I had to enjoy the feeling of the warm determination I had just had being shattered by a shredder in one fell swoop..

Quaaaaaaa-!

“…….”

A tsunami was coming in front of my eyes..

No, correction.

A storm of aurors was rushing in..

It was a storm of attacks launched by King Alicia..

‘……Wow?’

My heart sank..

I lifted the shovel reflexively..

A shovelhead filled with aura bloomed..

Tuquaaang-!

The wooden sword and the shovel collided..

There was the sound of a grenade exploding..

At the same time, Lloyd was pushed back about 6 meters..

‘That billion!’

what power.

Should I count like this?.

Thanks to you, my hand seemed to disappear.

A huge shock is transmitted through the shovel handle..

The feeling in not only the palms but also the hands themselves disappeared in an instant..

But the problem was that the situation(?) did not end there..

Squirt! Kwaaah!

“……!”

Faster than this one being pushed backwards.

The king's wooden sword came rushing like a tempest..

‘Wow! sister! for a moment! Wait!’

I wanted to shout.

But there was no time to shout.

It was from then on..

Lloyd had to keep busy with his shovel just to survive..

‘……head! shoulder! knee! foot! knee! foot!’

I blocked, dodged, escaped, held on, blocked again, and barely managed to bounce it off..

In the meantime, I was able to find.

It was the king's expression as he looked at me..

‘You're smiling happily. shit!’

I'm really struggling to hold on because I'm afraid I'll get beaten to death..

The King's sister was smiling happily, proudly, and brightly, like a newlywed newlywed who had successfully purchased her own home in a 34 pyeong Gangnam apartment..

Even leisurely questions were offered as an option..

“By the way, Lloyd Frontera. Didn't I ask to spar with Jim because I had something to tell him in private??”

Knock! bang! Kwakwang!

“……Wow! Kwak! Guyat!”

“I'm sure he didn't ask for a spar like this just to show off his strange spirit..”

Took! Kwahaak! bang!

“……Ouch! Gehehe! Wow!”

“If it's hard to answer, can you please take a look??”

“yes I love you, sister!”

“…….”

“No, King's sister.!”

“…….”

“Well, that's not it! His Majesty the King! please!”

“I think I just heard Jim say something outrageous..”

Kwakwakwak! Tukkeung! Kwaang!

“……That's it! Hehe! Chop! that is! in fact!”

“Say it softly.”

With the king's advice, swordsmanship became a little more relaxed..

However, it was still a stormy attack that could have resulted in serious injury in an instant if you were a little distracted..

Lloyd barely managed to block and dodge the attack and opened his mouth..

“That's big! Actually, I am the angel who descended earlier. That's right!”

Kwaaang-! Tookkuk!

A crash and shock wave that covers our horses with a roar..

Thanks(?) Lloyd was able to continue speaking without worrying about the ears of the guards..

“That angel, I brought you back..”

“what?”

Kwaang!

King Alicia's sword attack intensified briefly..

Lloyd barely swung his shovel head..

He responded by catching the king's stabbing sword..

“To conclude, I really need the royal family's new item, Summer Eyes..”

“…….”

“……that! each! Ugh!”

bang! Quack! bang!

“Please just listen to the reason. This will never be a loss to you, Your Majesty..”

“It's not a loss? Dear Jim?”

“Yeah, that's right! Wow! I'm buying it.”

“keep talking.”

Let’s go! Kakak!

The wooden sword was aimed at Lloyd's neck and stabbed in..

Seven strands of aura flashed amidst sixteen dazzling changes..

A total of 112 consecutive stabs ripped through the space..

However, Lloyd withdrew little by little and received all of the attacks..

Tucker, tucker, tucker.-!

A shock wave explodes in succession when a wooden sword and a shovel head collide..

In the meantime, Lloyd's answer also continued..

“Actually, I got it a long time ago! It's because of the heart of winter.”

“Because of the heart of winter?”

“Yes, Your Highness. The poison I absorbed before is slowly killing me..”

“Killing me?”

“A cold builds up in my heart. Even if you try to get rid of it, it is only a temporary solution. Rather, it grows stronger and spreads throughout the body..”

“So you're dying?”

“That's right, Your Majesty..”

Kaga Gagak!

112Immediately after blocking and clearing away all the stabbings of the meeting..

Lloyd's counterattack was attempted for the first time..

It wasn't a grand counterattack.

It was just a blow where the head of a shovel was raised and the flat surface was struck in space..

But it has a lot of mana in it..

Even the aurors survived with all their might..

As if fanning a fan.

swept over as wide an area as possible.

Whoa whoa!-!

“……!”

For the first time, King Alicia's expression hardened..

After all, this was a sparring match..

So Lloyd had the right to attack too..

She realized this fact again and raised her wooden sword..

from bottom to top.

I raised it and cut it.

Chikang!

The momentum of a flatland wind wave caused by a shovel was cut cleanly by a sword strike..

The king jumped into the gap..

The wooden sword was cut horizontally towards Lloyd's neck..

Lloyd urgently raised the shovel..

kagak!

With your neck right in front of you.

The shovel handle and the wooden sword collided..

At that moment, King Alicia threw the wooden sword into the sky..

I let go of the sword and immediately stretched out my free hand..

I grabbed the back of Lloyd’s neck..

“……!”

There was no time to react.

The King's knees rose like a flash of light..

It hit Lloyd's solar plexus precisely..

two puck-!

“……Wow!”

I suddenly bowed my back..

A happy smile appeared on the king's lips..

“First check if what you say is true.”

Her free hand rested on Lloyd's chest..

Cheochuk!

I used my mana with my hand on my chest..

Mana was pushed into Lloyd's chest..

Quickly, as if examining with a stethoscope.

Directly detects and diagnoses conditions in the chest and around the heart.

Then at some point.

The king's eyes changed.

“……It was true.”

“Trust me... … Cough! Seong-eun is devastated. Kup, huh.”

Lloyd stepped back, barely able to catch his breath..

How hard was it to hit the solar plexus?.

Even now, it was difficult to breathe..

But our conversation isn't over yet..

We have to hide the sound of this side's words in the shock waves..

So the sparring must continue..

Lloyd picked up a shovel..

Aimed at the king with the head of a shovel.

The king, realizing what Lloyd meant, also stretched out his hand..

The wooden sword that was thrown upwards earlier fell right into her grasp as if it were being sucked in and was caught..

Tukeng-!

This time, no matter who goes first.

They both rushed towards each other at the same time..

They each carried their auras with wooden swords and shovels and clashed..

Everyone is excited.

We were pushed aside step by step.

The king's fierce smile was entangled in the shock wave..

“Yes, I know what you say is true. But so what? Just because your life is in danger, is there any reason for me to bestow upon you the sacred items of the royal family??”

“Of course, it just won't happen..”

It's a given..

The Magentano Royal Family is not a volunteer organization..

Whether this side hurts or not.

Even if it puts your life at risk.

That will never be a reason to give away those old summer eyes..

“So this is what I am telling you..”

“Say it.”

“Wouldn’t it be okay if you give me a clear justification and an overwhelming benefit to grant me the apple of summer?.”

“overwhelming benefit?”

“That's right.”

Kwaaang-! Kakakakakak!

Wooden swords and shovels clashing again in succession.

Sweat has already started to flow on my forehead..

In the aftermath of the collision, beads of sweat sprang into the air..

Drops of sweat flew down Lloyd's hair and onto the king's shirt sleeve..

Drops of sweat flew from the king's jawline and settled on Lloyd's cheek..

Just like that, they clashed at close range..

Little by little, I adapt to the sword master's unique fighting style that uses auras..

Lloyd said while looking straight into the King's eyes..

“If you give me the eyes of summer... … I will build a project that will give the Magentano royal family a thousand years of continental hegemony..”
