"...... Why are you getting into a dueling frenzy while I'm taking a bath?"
A refreshed Delight looked up at the heavens with a towel wrapped around his waist.
Sighing heavily, Delight reaches for his drink, as is his habit.
But his daughter Fran stopped him.
"Father, please don't drink."
"d*mn it, I get it! But you're going to want a drink! For what reason is this kid supposed to duel with that bastard Albert! You better explain it to me so I can understand it!"
But first, you need to get dressed. You're in front of a customer.
"I can't find my clothes! I called for you many times from the bathroom, but when you didn't come, I thought something must be wrong, but I never dreamed that Albert was here!
"There's a change of clothes right there for you."
Take it.
"Yes, sir."
After receiving his clothes, Delight quickly changed and sat down on the sofa, just like Sam and the others.
"Anyway, let's start from the beginning. How did you end up in a duel?"
"I'm the one who challenged him to a duel."
"...... You're being too brief. No, you're the one who asked for the duel in the first place, and you're the one who's going to accept it against the kid."
Delighted or angry, he begins to shake his leg.
Fran said apologetically to him.
"Father, I'm the one who caused this."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Fran told my father.
Albert had been courting her for several years and had been insistent.
He is still persistent and came to the house again today.
He said that he had slapped Albert for insulting him, which made Albert angry, and that Sam covered for him when he was about to hit him.
"...... That's why he said duel."
"I could not allow such a man to be a court wizard, much less call himself the most powerful."
You're an idiot.
Maybe.
"Normally, I wouldn't pick a fight with the most powerful man in the kingdom. But, well, you know... ......"
Cranky and slightly embarrassed, Delight bowed his head.
"I thank you for defending my daughter."
"--Father."
"I'm a father too. I wouldn't be so cool if I heard my daughter had been beaten before she got married. ......Well, if you let your daughter take care of a drunk like me, you're probably just as much of a man who lays his hands on women."
Neither Sam nor Fran can find the words to say to Delight, who mocks himself with these words.
"But what the hell, how could Albert leave without getting into a fight with a kid?"
"Strangely enough, Albert was also very enthusiastic. I think he's up to something, and I think he's telling Sam to wash his head and wait for ...... him."
As Fran had explained, Albert left so easily that Sam, who had sold the fight to him, was left in a state of shock.
And he did so after agreeing to fight a duel.
Even Sam was surprised that Albert agreed to the duel.
What is more interesting is that he was smiling as if he was looking forward to it.
"I mean, kid."
"Yes."
"--No, I'll call you Sam. I'll put your skills aside, but I'll give you credit for having the guts to pick a fight with that son of a b*tc*."
Thank you very much.
So, what are the odds?
"Well, I'm sure we can work something out."
"...... you know. You know, court wizards don't take duels lightly. They rarely challenge you to a duel. Even if they did, the question is whether the state would recognize ...... it or not. Sam said he would take Albert's place as court wizard and the most powerful, and if we have to fight over this, it will be in front of the king!"
"Well, why?"
"Well, I guess you don't know anything about that."
Sighing, Delight explained.
To begin with, the king is the custodian of the court wizard.
Even if they are sent to war, they are not allowed to go out without the king's permission.
However, before the king makes a decision, the wizarding army, the knights, and the nobles discuss the matter, and then the king makes the final decision.
In other words, even if Sam wanted to fight a duel with Albert, he would have to first convince the army and nobles, and then get the King's approval before he could even fight.
"On the other hand, if he wins against Albert, the king will recognize his status as the court wizard and the most powerful one, right?
"Why are you so positive! Well, if you get permission and the duel is approved, and in case you win, so be it."
Then it's convenient. I'll beat him, that's all."
It is not a matter of confidence or lack thereof.
As Ur's apprentice, as his successor, as one who aspires to become the most powerful wizard in the world, being a court wizard or the most powerful wizard in this country is just a passing phase.
Then it is only natural that I should win such a duel.
Sam had no intention of letting this opportunity pass him by.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
