The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 193

Episode 193

“Puhup. They said they were from a prestigious family, so I asked how great of a gift they would give me, but all they got was a spear. “Well, that’s what the rumors are all about.”

As Raoul was about to return to his seat after delivering the gift, a strange sound came to his ears.

Where I stopped and looked back.

‘What is this lump?’

A hefty kid was sitting there with an arrogant expression on his face.

“Anyway, I need to understand their nonsense. What are you doing with such a miserable body? “It won’t even be a fistful away.”

Raoul asked, dumbfounded at the sight of him acting like he was some kind of city manager even though Raoul was clearly looking at him.

“Who are you?”

“under! You don’t know who I am even though you stepped into the Marquis de Greer? “You bastard, you have ruined your manners with your foot.”

At that moment, someone’s profile flashed through Raoul’s mind.

‘Aha, is this guy?’

Raoul asked, his expression tense as if he was nervous.

“Are you Prince Travis, Marquis Fidel’s eldest son?”

“okay. I’m Travis de Greer, bastard. Do you want to say hello properly now?”

After confirming his identity, Raoul approached him and spoke softly with a very bright smile.

“But why are you swearing in informal language the first time we meet, you bastard?”

Travis stumbled for a moment, not really realizing what was happening.

“Did you not even learn continental noble law properly at that age? Thanks to having a great father, you probably earned the title of ‘Baron’ as an adult. But how dare someone like the ‘Baron’ speak informally and curse at me, the rightful Viscount of the kingdom? “I will tolerate you for once because of the Marquis’s kindness, but if your head turns even a little, don’t tease him again.”

Raoul spat out harsh words, even spewing a bit of murder, as a warning.

however.

“What?! What kind of shit is this bastard talking about? How dare you insult me, the heir to the marquis, because the youngest child of an insignificant count was lucky enough to receive a title? escort! “Make that bastard kneel before me right now!”

Travis was not sure if he was brave because he was ignorant or because he inherited a good lineage and was fearless, but Travis shouted until the hall was loud.

Raoul just shrugged his shoulders at this absurd situation and took a step back.

To begin with, that guy named Travis wasn’t the marquis’ successor yet.

And publicly criticizing the Ashton family in a situation like this was something that even the Marquis Fidel could not do lightly.

While the escorts standing behind Travis were struggling, unable to do anything.

Dadadadadadak.

The marquis’ other knights hurriedly came running.

“Okay, quickly put that guy on his knees…”

The knights surrounded Travis, and the person who appeared to be the leader broke into a cold sweat, bent his waist 90 degrees, and apologized to Raoul.

“sorry. I’m really sorry! When our Confucius is drunk, he often makes speech mistakes. Please understand!”

“what are you doing? “Can’t you hear me?”

That’s when Travis, who still couldn’t understand the situation, opened his mouth again.

“Shut up you idiot!”

Marquis Fidel, frowning, was already approaching.

“Ah, father. That guy dares our marquis…”

“What are you doing? “Why don’t you take this missing thing with you right away?”

“Four Excellencies.”

“no. What did I do! “Aren’t you going to let go of this?”

While the knights were dragging the massive lump that was over 2 meters long, the Marquis apologized to Raoul first.

“I’m sorry. The immature guy used his mouth carelessly. “I apologize on your behalf.”

“no. “I’m even more sorry for making a fuss over something that doesn’t matter.”

The Marquis was frowning as if he had a headache.

After meeting him in person, I was able to understand the Marquis’ concerns.

If such an immature child, who could not be counted among the ranks of idiots, becomes the successor, it seems clear that the Marquess of Greer will have to put down the reputation of being a noble family sooner or later.

‘It was like this. ‘The reason why the Marquis Greer passed the title to his nephew rather than his child in a past life.’

And the Marquess of Greer was recorded as a family that did not leave much of a mark in history.

Only Ken, who threw off the shackles of his family, made a name for himself as the first female master.

‘Now then, what should we do?’

Raoul’s mind began to spin in confusion as he had to gain the marquis’s cooperation.

* * *

Aside from that little commotion, the first day of the Marquis’s celebration ended smoothly.

In the round of 64 of the tournament finals held in the afternoon, both Ken and Josh easily defeated their opponents and won.

The Marquis’ expression as he looked at Ken, who was swinging the spear with light movements, seemed very complex and subtle.

And one more person.

There was someone whose eyes widened and fidgeted at Ken’s appearance.

‘Why is that kid here?’

It was Ken’s younger mother, the current Marchioness.

She was dissatisfied with her current situation.

As someone who grew up as the daughter of a typical noble family, she didn’t like the fact that Kaylee wielded a spear.

Isn’t it natural for a girl from a noble family to marry a partner chosen by her parents for the sake of the family?

But what is the reason that whenever you run away from home because you don’t like it, you always come back disguised as a man?

‘If the wives of other families find out about this, they will definitely embarrass our family.’

Moreover, it would be really absurd, but if the Marquis suddenly declared that he would pass on the title to Kaylee.

‘Oh no. That can’t be possible.’

It was a development she did not want to imagine.

But looking at the Marquis’ behavior these days, I couldn’t believe it at all.

Just today, didn’t you insult your eldest child in front of everyone?

As a father, instead of supporting his son, he bows down to a child who is barely his age.

It was something she couldn’t understand.

But she needed to know.

Her two sons’ shortcomings and where they came from.

* * *

The Marquis’ banquet lasted for three days, and the tournament was now approaching its final day.

Raoul’s anxiety was limited to concern, and the banquet proceeded without any incident until the last day.

Only the final eight players remained in the tournament, and of course Ken and Josh were also on the list.

If the match went as planned, Josh would face Count Randall’s Rafael Ken in the semifinals and Fabian of the Marquess of McNeil in the semifinals.

And finally, on the last day, when the tournament was about to begin.

An unexpected person walked up to the sparring hall and shouted.

“This is Travis de Greer, the eldest son of the Marquis Greer. “I would like to apologize for my rudeness on the first day and make a suggestion to spice up the tournament!”

And at the words that followed, the Marquis grabbed his head.

“How about it, Viscount Raoul! “Let’s come out here like a man and have a fight!”

The audience looked interested.

This is because Raul, of whom there are many rumors, did not participate in the tournament even though he came to Marquis.

If they could see Raoul’s skills this time, there was nothing bad about it from the audience’s perspective, no matter what the occasion was.

However, Raoul could only look at the Marquis with a bitter smile at the absurdity.

The Marquis is also someone who has reached the highest level of Expert and aims to become a Master.

There was no way he could have known the difference in level between Raoul and Travis.

“What shall we do, Marquis?”

The reason I bothered to ask him was to save the Marquis’ face.

If the Marquis wanted it, he was planning to decline the challenge, even if it meant taking some losses.

While the Marquis frowned and thought for a moment, someone poured oil on him.

“What are you worrying about? “That child wants something like that, so please allow it.”

It was the Marchioness.

She seemed to have no idea how this fight would end, whether she thought her son was the best or not.

Of course, I didn’t know if I could gain great fame if I defeated Raoul.

It must not have been easy to get an opportunity like this within a closed family.

But shouldn’t you look at the place to lie down and stretch out your feet?

“Whew, treat me gently.”

The Marquis seemed to have thought a lot in that short period of time.

And perhaps because of this incident, Travis was completely excluded from being a candidate for his successor.

Raoul just nodded slightly and went down to the training ground.

“Hehehe. A few days ago, I was in a lot of debt, you bastard. “I will harpoon that thin bone.”

Travis can’t stand the moment before the referee goes on stage and makes fun of his snout again.

Raoul took out a greatsword from his inventory and closed his mouth as if it was not worth responding to.

“Are you scared? I was scared, xx. So, you should have been careful when speaking. It’s late now, so there’s no use apologizing, you bastard. “You’re a loser XX.”

Raoul felt it again.

‘The world is wide and there are more idiots.’

There was no need to look at its status window.

Raoul just held his great sword and waited for the confrontation to begin.

And when the fight began, Travis attacked Raoul with a large spear that matched his bloated body.

“Get lost!”

Huh.

Just looking at the momentum, it seemed like it could collapse a mountain.

But for 3 minutes after that.

Raoul blocked all the large spears that were swung in all sorts of ways by simply swinging his sword with one hand while standing still.

The difference in skill is obvious to anyone.

And it was only after three minutes that Travis realized that Raul had no intention of dealing with him seriously.

“How dare this bastard ignore me! “I really don’t care anymore!”

And Raoul’s eyebrows furrowed.

‘Is this really deja vu?’

Black tattoos covered the backs of Travis’ hands, and a mana sphere suddenly rose from the tip of his spear.

Dave, who I faced last year in ‘Proof of Blood’ for the mansion incident.

Just like the guy who had the brand of the Empire engraved on his body and unfolded a fake Mana Blade, Travis in front of me was also pulling out a fake Mana Spear.

‘That’s unpleasant.’

Raoul, who felt irritated that the traces of the empire continued to this point, no longer felt it was worth continuing the confrontation.

Seokyeong.

“…?”

Travis’ spear was cut in half by Raoul’s light swing of the great sword.

And before he knew what was happening.

puck.

Raoul, who had already gone behind him, lightly struck him with the blade of his hand, and Travis’ body fell to the ground.

The referee was talking behind him, but Raul paid no attention and walked towards the VIP table.

‘The marquis’ son is engraving the empire’s brand. ‘How should I take this?’

The audience was so speechless that the match was so one-sided that not even a small cheer came out.

And Travis, who was carried away by the knights, was instantly erased from people’s memories.

* * *

After returning to their seats, Raoul and the Marquis were silent for a while.

Raoul was lost in thoughts about the traces of the empire, and the Marquis was deeply troubled by his immature wife and sons.

The Marchioness ran out the moment her son fell, so there was silence around her for a while.

And it was none other than Ken that ended their silence.

Before I knew it, the first game was over and it was Ken’s turn.

“It looks like you’ve been doing well so far. A lot of the shadows have cleared from my face. “I’m a child who has almost lost her smile since my brother went missing.”

“Time heals some problems. “I think I overcame it well on my own.”

“well. “I think I’ve met someone who can be my medicine.”

“….”

The Marquis smiled for the first time today and continued.

“Anyway, what kind of training did you receive that allowed your skills to grow so quickly? By the time I left the family, I was barely at the point where I could pull out the Mana Blade or not.”

“Isn’t this the result of your own hard work? Moreover, I inherited an outstanding talent from the Marquis.”

“Ha, that’s the problem. “That kid is so talented. I can’t help but worry about whether the world will accept or recognize him.”

The Marquis seemed to be more worried because he knew well how female knights were treated on the Connect Continent.

But how many people in this world can actually look down on the Master?

“So, please take good care of me. “Maybe that child would be happier if he didn’t return to the family.”

“I will remember those words well.”

I wondered if Ken would feel the same way after he showed his true face a while later.

‘I have no intention of letting you go anyway.’

I had no intention of returning a talent who would grow into a master on his own to the Marquis.

Meanwhile, Ken’s quarterfinal opponent was coming up onto the training ground.
