Chapter 423

"Oh, oh, oh, oh!"

When Harvey walked onto the stage with the eye-catching broadsword and appeared in front of everyone, all the audience present burst into cheers.

The nobles of the kingdom and the prince of the empire stood opposite each other on the stage under everyone's gaze, making everyone excited.

It couldn't be helped.

"It seems that everyone is looking forward to our performance."

Harvey did not look around, but smiled at Shien, who was standing opposite him.

"A performance?" Shien no longer yawned, but said noncommittally, "They just want to see how far we can go in a battle, right?"

That's what it was.

Before this, there were many people who used this stage.

Every day, they would show their abilities here in various ways. Some would make people marvel, some would make people disdain, but without exception, in the end, they did not get any results.

Rosie had never raised anyone's score high enough to be one of the candidates for her husband. Therefore, the audience had long since lost their expectations.

In addition, there were also many people who came to the stage to make up the numbers and make noise, so recently, the number of people who would come to the stage to watch had been decreasing.

But today was different.

Today, the two people on the stage were the hottest topics of discussion.

One of them was the legendary viscount, who was currently the first priority candidate for the selection of a son-in-law.

The other was the prince of the empire, the legitimate descendant of the Hero.

People wanted to know how capable the former was, and how far the latter could go.

Compared to these two people who had so many titles, most of the people who had appeared on this stage before were just actors.

Moreover, this time, there were also many things that people wanted to know.

If Shien, the first priority candidate, was defeated, would the kingdom lower his score and raise Harvey up?

Would the husband chosen by the kingdom's most precious treasure be relatively strong?

What kind of partner did Her Royal Highness Princess Rosie want?

Did he have a background? Was he capable? Or was he strong?

These were all things that people were eager to know.

Under such circumstances, since the first priority candidate had stepped onto the stage, regardless of whether he won or lost, the outcome of the aftermath would reveal a lot of information.

For example, if Shien was defeated, his score did not decrease, and he did not fall from the first priority candidate position, which proved that the kingdom did not value strength.

On the contrary, if Shien was defeated, Harvey's score would rise and he would replace Shien's position, which proved that the kingdom valued strength.

That was what people wanted to see.

After all, the outcome of the son-in-law selection depended on Her Royal Highness Princess' preferences.

Without a standard, people could only find their own rules and strive to climb up. In the end, they would get both human rights and the beauty. and

In view of this, in the eyes of many people, they were not interested in the outcome of the duel between Sean and Jarvis.

Because both Sean and Harvey were their rivals in love, they naturally couldn't support either of them. In fact, they even wanted both of them to lose.

All they cared about was the outcome of this duel.

Of course …

"For the commoners of the kingdom, they really want to see our ability, or how much ability I have, right?" Shien curled his lips and said, "Your Royal Highness is probably the one being considered. You have to pay attention to your performance."

"Of course." Harvey said calmly, "No matter what, it's a duel in the capital of the kingdom, in front of everyone in the kingdom. I can't lose my prestige."

Otherwise, the people of the kingdom would never show mercy when they ridiculed the Imperial Prince who seemed to be an enemy and a friend.

"You're really honest." Sean couldn't help laughing, but there was a thought-provoking expression on his face. He said, "Well, then let me see how capable the prince of the empire is compared to that neurotic Valkyrie."

These words caused Harvey to narrow his eyes.

"Could it be that you …"

Harvey wanted to say something, but he did not succeed.

The reason was simple.

"Quick … look …!"

"It's Her Royal Highness Rosie!"

"Her Royal Highness Rosie has come out!"

Accompanied by such ecstatic shouts, the whole audience seemed to explode and burst into cheers that soared into the sky.

No one knew when Rosie had appeared on the open-air platform above the main entrance of the palace. She was looking down at the stage below. Her snow-white hair fluttered in the wind like a waterfall and her crimson eyes shone with a beautiful light. Her posture was awe-inspiring and her temperament was outstanding. She made people feel as if a goddess had descended from the heavens and was intoxicated by her.

"That … That's Rosie Lusti Mithra?"

Wally, who was looking at the stage with a playful expression, held his breath. Looking at the beautiful princess who suddenly appeared, his eyes were a little stunned and a little fiery.

"What a terrifying magic power …"

Lockett, who was beside him, could not help but stare at Rosie and exclaimed.

"She's clearly a human, but she looks more like a goddess than most goddesses."

Even Nadula, who no one noticed, was looking at Rosie at this moment, her eyes full of admiration.

"She's indeed the most precious treasure of the kingdom."

Jarvis was no exception. When he saw Rosie appear, his eyes lit up for a moment, and his heart was somewhat stirred.

If even these people were in such a state, then the nobles and commoners weren't any better off. All of them had dumbfounded expressions, and some even started cheering. Most of the profligate young masters couldn't help but reveal expressions that were filled with possessiveness, and they revealed their greedy, fanatical, and intoxicated sides.

"Such a beautiful woman, why isn't she mine?"

No one knew when Edward had appeared in the corner, but his eyes were filled with lust and desire as he stared at Rosie.

Among everyone, only Shien could look at Rosie with a normal expression, and he could not help but complain in his heart.

(This girl is pretending to be a princess again.)

However, her looks and temperament were indeed perfect and impeccable.

At first, Sean thought that he would be immune to Rosie's charm. Who knew that even though he had already done what he should and shouldn't have done, he still couldn't help but feel a little hot in his heart when he saw Rosie in such a state.

From this, it could be seen what realm Rosie's beauty had reached.

(I've decided, I'll change to a more challenging position today.)

Shien could not help but make such a decision.

Rosie, who did not know that she had been targeted by a certain wolf, had completely entered princess mode. She looked down at the stage from above, and her cold but melodious voice rang out.

"I'm just here to take a look, don't mind me."

Rosie said calmly, while secretly giving Shien a look, as if telling him to perform well.

Shien also gave Rosie a look, as if saying, 'If I perform well now, it's your turn tonight.'

Rosie seemed to have received his message. She rolled her eyes at him and nodded lightly without a trace.

Only then did Shien smile in satisfaction, but he did not look away. Instead, he looked to Rosie's side.

Over there, another person slowly walked out of the palace.

"Haha, today's duel is worth looking forward to."

Anci laughed in a carefree manner.

"To be honest, I'm looking forward to it as well."

Lia also smiled sweetly.

Shana looked down at the stage with a serious face.

Aridia stood behind Ansy, his face expressionless.

The appearance of the royal family members had raised the atmosphere to a new high.

"They're actually paying so much attention to this duel?"

Wally was a little surprised, and then a little excited.

Obviously, this guy was not only a hothead, but also someone who wished for the world to be in chaos.

On the other hand, Lockett's eyes were fixed on Alidia.

"Alidia Erbein …"

Lockett's eyes were filled with fighting spirit and fighting spirit as he looked at Alidia, who was standing beside Rosie.

Edward, who was in the corner, looked at Lia, who was standing beside Rosie and whispering to each other. The desire in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

"Even if I can't get the kingdom's treasure, I will get my hands on the First Princess."

The evil fire in Edward's heart was burning.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Shien and Javis on the stage.

"I didn't expect the royal family of Mithra to come out." Javis turned his gaze to Shien, and said with a smile, "I think we have to be serious about this duel, Borztut."

"Perhaps." Shien did not deny it, and said leisurely, "Speaking of which, you haven't said how you want to compete. Do you want to lose by falling off the stage, or wait for one side to be defeated?"

"If one side falls off the stage, or if one side admits defeat, then it will be considered a loss." Javis did not hesitate, and said directly, "I believe that you are a sensible person, and will not go so far as to not admit defeat even if you die. So, whichever side uses all their strength and has no other means, but still can't do anything to the other side, that side will admit defeat."

"Oh?" Shien could not help but be surprised. "What a refreshing and refined way to determine victory and defeat."

It had to be said that Javis' straightforward and not hateful style had more or less won Shien's favor.

Compared to the neurotic, stubborn, and unyielding Capeline, this prince of the Empire seemed to be more worthy of being friends with.

He even said so.

"Also, in this duel, let's not use magic." Javis looked around, shrugged, and said, "If we use magic, we may harm the innocent spectators around us. Let's just fight with swords."

"Alright." Shien had no objections. Seeing that the other party was so straightforward, he did not hesitate and said, "Then shall we start directly?"

"Yes." Javis smiled and said, "Let's start directly."

As soon as he finished, the two of them stopped talking.

Clang!

Clang!

Only the sound of swords being unsheathed could be heard clearly in the surroundings.
