Chapter 58. The Colorful (彩) Kingdom (2/3) 

 

As I was thinking about such a question, alarms rang inside my head as an elderly yet bulky man who was at the pavilion walked over as he reached out to his side before a faint blue glow appeared, strengthening before a sword of steel was formed as he pointed it at me. 

 

Immediately, all the knights reacted and took out their swords as they pointed it at the elderly man who looked to not bother at all as his eyes firmly stared at me, “Are you Her Majesty?” which made me curious as his eyes looked as if he was testing me. 

 

“And if I am, would you still dare to point your sword at me?” I rose my hand as to signal all the knights to relax before the elderly man laughed as the window above his head appeared, showing his name which was ‘Evans von Skylake’ with a level that made me flinch. 

 

His level was at 110 which was so far the highest I could remember… but I do feel like I’ve seen someone with a higher level… for some odd reason though, I can’t remember who or when I saw a number that was higher than this man. 

 

“Naturally,” he said before turning towards the pavilion as he spoke, “As the reigning commander of the entire military, would the other officials inside the pavilion grant this old man’s wish to have a short duel with our Queen?” 

 

“Are you joking, Evans?! Her Majesty had only woken up from a two-month-long sleep!” Felice tried to retaliate but I held her back as my gaze went towards the elderly man’s sword which was glimmering with strength… it was filled with power and technique that could only be groomed from years of experience. 

 

My inner curiosity grew curious as two knights walked over to the elderly man before announcing the decision of the pavilion people, “The officials of the Pavilion has granted permission for Duke Evans to have a short duel with Her Majesty, but the three Dukes holds no accountability over the injuries that Duke Evans may sustain.” 

 

I became even more curious about who the Three Dukes were and took a glance at the pavilion, but I couldn’t see them as they were still too far for my eyes to see clearly. To think that they had that much confidence in me is something odd though.

“Felice,” I looked at Felice who was fuming but she soon caught up with what I wanted as she reluctantly handed over her sword which felt light to the hand, my gaze returned back to the elderly man who was grinning as I pointed my sword back at him, “I, Aya hereby accepts the duel of this humble elderly man.” 

 

“That’s the spirit!” he laughed before looking at one of the knights as he said, “You! Be the referee, this duel will end once one among us drops to the floor.” 

 

The knight was surprised but still heeded his command as he took a step forward without showing a bit of emotion, reaching his hand out to the front before he spoke, “Are both sides ready to fight?” 

 

All of the people around us were filled with anticipation as Felice and the others took a step back. I wasn’t confident at all over how this battle will go but I felt that somehow… my body would be able to guide me through. 

 

I wanted to learn how a super high-leveled person would fight using a sword. It was something that I had no memory of. My mind was curious as the two of us both spoke at the same time, “We are ready to fight.” 

 

“In the count of three, the battle will commence…” the knight stutteringly spoke. 

 

The beat of my heart rose as my breathing became rough when, suddenly, a little notification appeared at the bottom right of my screen that warned me of the intensity of this short duel. The window was bright red and showed some spooky stuff.
