"The first prince of the Ragnar Empire is about to challenge the first priority candidate for the selection of the son-in-law."
The news quickly spread, and everyone in the capital was excited. Then, they all rushed to the palace at the same time.
That included the nobles who wanted to challenge Shien to improve their own evaluation. After learning of the news, they immediately rushed to the palace without hesitation.
"Someone finally succeeded in challenging Shien Boztut."
"This is a good opportunity."
"Let's hurry over."
The nobles couldn't possibly give up this good opportunity.
Because this was a great opportunity for them to observe the strength of the so-called first priority candidate.
Many people had long wanted to see how capable the first priority candidate, who was valued by the kingdom's most precious treasure, was, and whether they had the ability to challenge him and knock him off the stage.
Therefore, be it the young nobles, the heads of the noble families, or the commoners, everyone rushed to the palace, filling the bridge leading to the island in the middle of the lake where the palace was located.
Originally, the bridge leading to the island in the middle of the lake where the palace was located would only be opened at noon. Usually, only the nobles could enter and exit freely, and commoners could not enter at all.
However, because of the selection of the son-in-law, during this period, the bridge would be open without any restrictions during the day. It would only be closed at night, so that many commoners could see the display and competition of the nobles from all over the world, who had gathered around the stage built for the selection of the son-in-law.
It could be said that at this moment, the most lively place in the capital was undoubtedly the huge stage in front of the palace.
It was the same now. People were constantly gathering and watching in an orderly manner under the guidance of the knights. It was as lively as a festival.
Of course, everyone in the palace had also received the news.
"He accepted the challenge?"
Lia was a little stunned, but then she left the bedroom with Shana without hesitation and headed for the stage.
"The first prince of the Ragnar Empire? That Harvey? "
Ancey also received the news. He raised his eyebrows, and then left the bedroom with Alidia.
As for Rosie, she was waiting for Shien in boredom. After hearing the news brought by the Sword Saint Knights, her first reaction was silence, and then she muttered.
"Isn't it good to be alive?"
After leaving behind such a sentence that stunned the female knight who came to report, Rosie got up and rushed to the stage.
"Ha ~ ~ ~"
Under this situation, under everyone's gaze, Shien came to the side of the stage, and couldn't help but yawn.
Looking at this scene, many nobles looked at him coldly.
"He is Shien Boztut?"
"He doesn't look that great."
"I really don't know what Her Highness sees in him.
"Maybe she sees the power behind him."
"After all, he is a noble who might be related to the Nephilim. He even tamed a real dragon and possesses a high level [Taming] skill."
"Boztut" Rosie. time. "He is a noble". "He" is a noble. is "Shien" Boztut. "" Boztut "
Although they said that they wanted to challenge Shien to prove themselves, it didn't mean that these nobles were not afraid of Shien.
No matter what, the news of Shien's conferring banquet was still spreading like wildfire among the nobles. Everyone knew that this Viscount was not only valued by the Royal Family and other nobles, but he also had connections with the Demon Dwellers.
In addition, Shien had tamed a dragon and annihilated the [Slaughterer Clan]. In the nobles' circle, many people didn't want to offend him.
Now, there were so many people who chose to challenge him because they had no other choice.
They couldn't just give up, right?
This was the only chance to win the most valuable treasure of the kingdom!
In other words, most of the nobles were just unwilling to give up so easily. Hence, they could not help but grit their teeth and brace themselves to challenge Sean.
It was still the same sentence. Everyone had a fluke mentality.
What if Shien wasn't that powerful?
What if he won?
What if Her Royal Highness suddenly fell in love with him if he performed well?
In particular, many people thought that the reason why Shien had the strength to crusade against the [Slaughterer Clan] was that he had a unique skill that could increase his level and skills if he met the conditions. Those people couldn't help but think about it.
What if Shien couldn't meet the conditions to activate the unique skill?
What if Shien couldn't perform well?
What if he had a weakness?
All of these "what-ifs" appeared because they wanted to get lucky.
At this moment, they had appeared here for the sake of a sliver of hope in their hearts.
They wanted to see if this rumored Viscount Porztut was really that powerful, and if they could challenge him.
What if …
The nobles continued to think that way.
Under such circumstances, it was undoubtedly a great thing for the Prince of the Ragnar Empire to stand up and challenge Shien.
As a result, even the princes and princes of other countries appeared in various corners and looked over.
"Do you think Harvey can win?"
"I think he has a good chance of winning."
"Even if that adventurer-born viscount has the strength to crusade against the [Slaughterer Clan], so what?"
"The Ragnar Royal Family is a descendant of the Hero like the Mithra Royal Family. Although Harvey didn't inherit the empire's imitation holy sword, and his talent isn't as good as his missing sister, he's already twenty-four years old. In terms of level alone, he shouldn't be lower than his seventeen-year-old Valkyrie sister."
"I remember that when he appeared in the empire's hunting contest last year, he was already level 75, right?"
"No, it's said that he had already reached level 77 at that time."
"He was only twenty-three years old at that time, right?"
"As expected of a direct descendant of the Hero."
"Well, there's a big gap between him and the kingdom's treasure and the empire's Valkyrie, but he's much better than an adventurer-born nobleman, right?"
"Let's wait and see. Let Harvey test the strength of that viscount."
"That's right."
These princes and princes communicated with each other, expressing their interest in this duel.
On Harvey's side, he didn't take off his ceremonial attire. Instead, he brought along an extremely eye-catching broadsword, which looked rather imposing.
Wally instigated from the side.
"Teach him a lesson, Your Highness." As if he couldn't wait to go on stage, Wally kept shouting, "Let him know that there are some people in this world that he can't compare to. Compared with a true descendant of the Hero like Your Highness, his own strength is not worth mentioning at all."
Wally acted as if he was very supportive of Harvey.
However, Javis glanced over at Wollen.
"You don't have to instigate me here." Harvey said with a faint smile, "I know, you want me to suppress that viscount's limelight, so that you can use the power of the Lefferut family to pressure that viscount to hand over the genius that your family likes, right?"
The smile on Wally's face couldn't help but stagnate, but he quickly recovered.
"I really can't hide anything from you, Your Highness." Wally spread his hands and said rather frivolously, "Those old guys in the Empire have always said that His Highness Harvey is not as good as Her Highness Capeline, but in my opinion, in terms of brain and psychological quality, His Highness Harvey is much better than Her Highness Capeline, who only wants to defeat the kingdom's most precious treasure."
This was the truth.
In fact, unlike Rosie, who had always been thought to inherit the throne and become Queen, Capeline didn't have as many supporters in the Empire as others thought.
Firstly, Capeline's style was too tough and upright. In the eyes of many nobles, this was not something worth advocating, and it was difficult to leave a good impression on others. Therefore, in the Empire, many people only regarded Capeline as a strong person with extraordinary strength, and not as the future Empress of the Empire.
Secondly, Capeline didn't spend time building interpersonal relationships. What she valued most was her own strength. In her eyes, her only goal was to defeat Rosie, which made many people think that the Empire's Valkyrie was unapproachable.
Compared to Capeline, Harvey was not only smart, humble, and gave people a feeling of a spring breeze. He had a good relationship with many of the nobles in the Empire, and his own strength was also not bad. Even if he was not as good as Capeline, he was still much stronger than ordinary children of famous families.
In view of this, almost all the people in the Empire's Royal Family regarded Harvey as the next Emperor of the Empire. He was also the first in line to the throne. In terms of supporters and power, he was much stronger than Capeline in the Empire.
This time, it was also Harvey's own decision to participate in the Empire's son-in-law selection.
His purpose, in fact, was not to marry Rosie.
Rather, he was very clear that with the gap between the Kingdom and the Empire, the chances of him being chosen by Rosie were probably infinitely close to zero.
Therefore, this time, Harvey was just taking the opportunity to come to the Kingdom.
No one knew his purpose except for himself.
However, there was one thing that was certain.
That was, he came for Shien.
"Let me first test the strength of Shien Porztutt." Harvey ignored Wally's compliments and said in a very honest manner, "As for the rest, we'll talk about it after I've investigated the truth of this rumored Viscount."
As soon as Wally said this, before Wally could express his thoughts, Lockett, who had been silent, spoke.
"Be careful." Lockett suddenly said, "He may not be as simple as we think."
Lockett's words startled Harvey and Wally.
However, Harvey was surprised and a little thoughtful, while Wally was very disdainful.
"What's not simple about him? Isn't he just a Viscount who was born as an adventurer? "
Wally seemed to really look down on Shien.
Harvey, on the other hand, nodded solemnly.
"I'll be careful."
Hearing this, Lockett's expression softened and he nodded as well.
Only then did Harvey suddenly smiled, turned around, and walked onto the stage.
