Chapter 3: Tiring day

Jenny's conversation with me seemed to dare to be interrupted by someone.This man pulled Jenny's hand that was hugging me.Jenny looked a little surprised.After seeing the man's face Jenny....didn't dare to speak.

He has orange colored eyes and curly hair.This man is shorter than me and slightly taller than Jenny. He wears a full knight's armor but his armor looks too extravagant. On his silver armor, there are gold decorations and jewels on the left and right arms of the armor. In the middle of his chest there is a symbol crest that looks like a snake coiling around a sword.

'This person must come from a rich family' I thought as I saw him holding Jenny's hand.

Without thinking, I grab Jenny's waist to me.I don't want this man to touch Jenny body at his will.This man's face looked angry and challenged by my action.

I felt angry and let go of Jenny's slender waist. I then walked towards the man slowly. Before I could get in front of the man, he threw a red handkerchief at me and I unknowingly caught it.

I was confuse at the reaction of everyone who look shock looking at my actions. I went to dig into Freya's previous memories quickly to find any identity of this man.

Apparently this man is Baron Dillan Amberster from the Baron family.He come from The Kingdom of Ozee.It turns out that he does come from a very wealthy family because he's currently managing his father's wealth and business which he inherited from his father and got the Baron tittle just recently.

His family sells various weapons such as swords and spears. Their sales are said to be very good because their products are known for their durability and can be custom made.He is also known for his hot temper.I think Jenny was not dared to speak up just now maybe because Baron Dillan has noble blood while she is just a commoner.Still...seeing her like that i couldn't help but feel anger in my heart

By catching the red handkerchief earlier, it means that I have accepted the duel of a 1 vs 1 match with him.Maybe they were surprised because they were worried about my health or maybe they were worried because I was provoking a rich family from the neighboring kingdom.

'It's look like this man really like her...haah *sigh...sorry man this beauty already had a feeling for someone else...' I thought as I felt sorry for him.

Seeing me grabbing the handkerchief, Jenny looked shy and avoid eye contact with me. Her facial expression was so cute right now that I couldn't help but teased her a little bit.

"Don't worry Brat. I would never let him have you..." I come near her slowly and whispered in her ear that looked redish.

After whispering in Jenny's ear, I continue looking at Baron Dillan again.

"Empty this space now!" He shouted at the other knights who were near the training ground with a slightly looking smirk on his face.

'With this I will be able to test my strength.' I thought in my mind as I watched the other knights clear the training ground and stand aside to watch our match.

Before starting the match,both Baron Dillan and I pick our own sword and stand in our position with the meaning that we're ready to fight.With Jenny as the referee she shout...

*3...2...1...start!

Baron Dillan sneered at me while I assumed a high guard.He then run toward me and went to attack first. I parried quickly and reflexively. Baron try to cut from the other side again but I again parried. We fought back and forth, until, realizing that he looks tired.

I began to remember my training.As he keep to trowing me with various attack.I come close to him and start to fight back.I throw a cut and thrust at him relentlessly.Ordinary people will not be able to see the movement of my sword that moves so fast.Driving him around the ring, I never letting him gain his balance.

Although I had restrained myself from releasing my full strength.He began to be unable to avoid my attack and my sword penetrated his shield and he is now bleeding.

He gawking himself and wasting no time, Barron Dillan quickly keep his blade and said the required words.

"I yield!"In shock and pain, he stumbled out of the ring, losing the fight.

The physician who was standing on the side of the field quickly ran towards Baron Dillan and carried him to the emergency room.The knight standing on the side of the field looked very surprised and was speechless for a while.They then suddenly ran towards me happily.

Being surrounded by people, I could only see Jenny from afar while giving a wink and a little smile.She then looked speechless with a red face as she walked out of the training ground quickly leaving me.

'So she won't even smile back at me huh...let alone say thank you' I thought playfully in my mind.

"Today is quite tiring..." I said to myself as I walked back to my room.

It was already night at that time. After arrived at my room,I took off all my clothes and took a shower then by wearing a sleeping robe I then continued try to fall asleep...But my sleep was interrupted by three knocks on the door...

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Who is it?" I said while waiting for an answer.

I thought that it was Jenny but sadly it was not her.A man's voice was heard...

"Sir Freya,I am the butler sent by His Majesty, The Demon Lord Alazuir O Zinir to deliver the message..." He said behind the door with a loud but not shouting voice.

I then got up from the bed and went to the door to open it.When I opened the door there was a boy who was about 16 years old and not more than 160cm tall.

"Tell me what did he want kid?" I asked that little butler.

He somehow look kinda cute...

"His Majesty,The Demon Lord Alazuir wishes to see you tomorrow morning" said the young man firmly.

'I like this boy attitude..ha...ha...' i thought while looking at him.

"Okay, tell him that I'll come" I told him in a monotone voice.

Then he nodded his head and walked away. After he left I continue to sleep soundly...

To be continue...
