EPS 42 Stella Vs Primo

On a quiet moonlit night inside Elbaf's house, they were enjoying dinner together when Primo felt the pain of ploughing the fields. Elbaf, who saw Primo massaging his arm, asked gently 'What's wrong with your arm, Primo?'

Primo replied 'Probably because of fatigue, from ploughing the fields. '

Elbaf laughed a little and asked 'You've never ploughed a field, have you?'

Primo replied 'Yes, sir, I have never ploughed a field at all. I thought it was an easy thing to do when I saw people ploughing the fields, but in reality it was not as easy as it looked. '

Elbaf said, 'It's normal that you feel pain the first time you plough a field, there's no one here who can do soil magic.' Primo said, 'It's normal that you feel pain the first time you plough a field. 'Primo said in his mind, 'I can do it, but I have to hide my power a little bit.

Primo said, 'I'm sorry, I can't help much when ploughing the fields. '

Elbaf smiled and said 'It's okay that you were so helpful. We usually go home when it's almost night but this time we finished during the day, come on Primo finish your meal.'

Primo continued to eat voraciously while enduring pain throughout his body, after finishing his food Elbaf asked how the Horned Serpent meat tasted.

Primo replied, 'The flavour of the meat is very juicy if you cook it properly, but if you don't cook it properly, the meat becomes tough.' Primo then asked why did Mr Elbaf ask about that?

Elbaf replied, 'Here the meat is very expensive and can only be enjoyed by royalty, but lately it seems strange that the Horned Serpent meat sellers have suddenly disappeared.

Primo realised that the people selling the meat might be the people of Spring Colony, but Primo remained silent and asked 'Sir, does Elbaf know the seller?'

Elbaf replied, 'I don't know him, but from the residents in the neighbourhood of Glory Kingdom, they knew one of the sellers named Yin, the merchant was known to be very kind, usually the merchants distributed some basic necessities to the surrounding community.' Primo's suspicion was even stronger because one of the sellers was Yin.

Primo's suspicion was even stronger because one of the Spring Colony officials was named Yin. Primo was even more convinced that he wanted to investigate more about Glory Kingdom.

Suddenly there was a knock on Elbaf's door telling Primo to immediately hide in his room for fear that Primo would be found by the Glory Kingdom soldiers.

Primo immediately rushed to hide and Elbaf opened the door. As expected, two Glory Kingdom soldiers came and entered without permission inside, one of the guards snapped at Elbaf 'Prepare tomorrow's tax payment!'

Elbaf was surprised and replied, 'Won't the tax be paid next month when the harvest comes?'

The soldier snapped at Elbaf again, saying 'I don't care if the tax is paid every two weeks with the same tribute!'

Elbaf replied 'There's no way I can pay it. Where will all the tribute come from when the harvest hasn't even arrived yet?'

The soldier left immediately and slammed the door. Elbaf could only grieve about how he would pay the tribute. Primo, who heard the soldier's words, became emotional, so Primo went downstairs and calmed Elbaf down. Elbaf also tried to hide his feelings and invited Primo to rest immediately because tomorrow morning they had to go to the fields.

Primo, who saw Elbaf's expression, knew that Elbaf was depressed. Primo asked who the soldiers were, why they were not like Stella.

Elbaf explained, 'They are soldiers sent directly by the core royal family, while Stella is a messenger from the branch family.'

Primo asked again 'What is the difference between the soldiers from the core family and the branch family. '

Elbaf replied, 'The soldiers of the nuclear family are focused on the economy and are tasked with collecting taxes so that all Glory Kingdom citizens and immigrants pay the appropriate tribute rate, while the soldiers of the branch family are tasked with fighting and protecting the Glory Kingdom.'

Primo asked again, 'Do the branch family soldiers and the nuclear family soldiers have any differences in their uniforms because I saw at first glance that they are very similar, the armour used is exactly the same as Stella's. '

Elbaf replied 'The difference lies on the back of the armour, those from the branch family have a blue colour while those from the core family have a red colour. With this, Primo could tell who he was fighting.'

Primo again asked 'If the soldiers from the branch family and the nuclear family fought, who would win?'

Elbaf replied that of course the nuclear family would win even though the soldiers of the nuclear family were in charge of only taking tribute from the people but their combat ability was equivalent to the three soldiers of the branch family, if you want to find out you can go to the arena in Glory Kingdom because there will be a one-on-one battle and it is open to the public so anyone can register usually the arena is filled with soldiers from each family of Glory Kingdom and so far the soldiers of the nuclear family of Glory Kingdom have always won the battle arena. '

Primo said, 'I'll try to sign up, how do I sign up?'

Elbaf forbade Primo to sign up because arena battles could kill him because the rules of the arena allowed killing if your opponent did not surrender, but if you faced a branch family soldier even if you surrendered you would be killed.

Primo asked 'in that arena, how much was the prize. '

Elbaf replied 'They will be awarded one hundred thousand lots. '

Primo asked again 'One hundred thousand lots? How is the financial system now?'

Elbaf said, 'The prize is big enough to buy land and an active hunter's licence, the currency around the world as far as I know uses lot currency, and it can also be used to pay taxes for several years.'

Primo asked 'If Mr Elbaf harvests the crops, how much lot money will he make and how much tax will he have to pay?' Elbaf said. '

Elbaf replied that if all the crops are successful, one thousand lots can be produced and the tax to be paid is four hundred and seventy five lots every month, especially now that the tax is every two weeks with such tribute, it makes it very difficult to pay it, to be honest, they will come tomorrow while I don't have any money myself. '

Primo was angered by the leader's behaviour and asked what he could spend fifty lots on?

Elbaf replied, 'I might only get five kilos for eggs.'

Primo was even more emotional and planned to follow the arena but once again Elbaf stopped him. but Primo iron hard will follow the arena battle held in Glory Kingdom. Elbaf was only resigned to Primo's decision.

Suddenly the door of the house was knocked again this time the knock on the door was getting louder, Primo immediately rushed to hide. in his mind, if he dared to be like that, Primo would not hesitate to finish off the soldiers and Elbaf opened the door again when the door was opened, it was Stella who stopped by the house. Stella entered and was worried about Elbaf because taxes were increasing. Elbaf was silent and couldn't answer Stella's question. Primo came down the stairs and sat down at the dining table. Stella, who realised that Primo was just silent and not helping Mr Elbaf, was made even angrier by saying 'hey you at least make yourself a little useful.'

Primo tried to calm down by saying 'do you know anything about me?' elbaf explained to stell if primo helped him take care of the fields and he also taught magic which was very easy to learn. hearing that stella was a little relieved and apologised to Primo.

Primo said 'It turns out that soldiers like you can also apologise. '

Stella sarcastically said 'Don't equate me with the soldiers of the core family kingdom. '

Don't keep fighting, you'll fall in love with each other, said Elbaf while breaking up Primo and Stella.

Primo and Stella simultaneously replied 'falling in love is impossible. '

Elbaf laughed and said, 'You guys are perfect. '

Stella brushed that aside and asked how 'Elbaf would pay his taxes tomorrow. '

Elbafpun resignedly replied that maybe I would leave the furniture in this house to them. hearing that made Stella and Primo sad. once again Elbaf said 'take it easy this time I can handle it I will leave this furniture and the upcoming tax will be paid with the remaining harvest I will plant chillies because the price is more expensive and faster harvest than having to plant wheat,

Hearing this they were a little more relieved but Stella again said there was one more problem, Elbaf asked 'what is it?'

Stella also explained that if Primo continued here if caught eating Elbaf would be punished for allowing outsiders to live without permission from the kingdom.

Primo said he would stay soon and decided to go to the arena. Stella was a little worried and said if you want to go to the arena at least beat me first. Primo also agreed that Elbaf could only surrender to the decision of the two of them. they also fought outside the house. here Elbaf became the referee between the two of them.

Before fighting, Primo activated her censor magic so that their fight would not be known to others. after she thought it was safe, Primo prepared to face Stella while maintaining her censor magic.

Stella also took out her sword and prepared to fight Primo. their fight began.

Stella cast a speed up magic on Primo but Primo easily dodged attack after attack in his mind 'A royal soldier casts magic are they really strong like Elbaf said.'

Stella, who was angry because her attacks kept being dodged, said 'Can you only dodge and not fight back? I'm weak against many people but one on one I'm the strongest soldier in the branch family kingdom. '

Primo just kept dodging and looking for an opening after looking for an opening when Stella slashed at him, Primo ducked and turned around and kicked Stella in the stomach with his right foot hard. making Stella pushed back. while being pushed back Stella chanted [Thunder Ball] Active magic aimed at Primo. Primo also followed the way of chanting magic like Stella's holy weapon [ Thunder Spear ] Active Primo also took out his holy Electric spear and slashed Stella's [ Thunder Ball ] with ease.

Elbaf who saw Primo just smiled and knew Primo was hiding all his strength and thought that Primo had been hiding his true identity all this time.

Primo stood up firmly and said, 'If a warrior is strongest, he can defeat his enemy's enemy. '

An annoyed Stella said, 'At least I tried.' Stella recited the amplifying magic [Thunder Sword] and the sword released electricity all over the blade. '

Primo asked 'Can I attack?'

Stella replied, 'Attack while you can keep up with my speed.' Stella recited the speed-up magic again.

Primo said 'You're not the only one who can use that magic, Primo also chanted [ Speed Up ]' Here Primo's speed was superior, easily cutting through Stella's armour and giving a crushing blow because the armour was made of steel, making Primo's attack more effective. Stella fell down and felt the electric shock and made her lose badly.

Primo said 'Keep trying, I like your fighting spirit. '

Primo entered the house and Elbaf helped Stella to get up in the house, Stella recognised that Primo was strong. Elbaf also realised that Primo could do more than that considering Primo could use two magic elements and use magic without casting.

Stella also said goodbye because she had to guard the kingdom. After Stella returned, Elbaf asked why she was pretending like that?

Primo replied 'I was just compensating for her during the fight and actually I was already doing magic when dodging all of Stella's attacks to be honest if I cast magic at that time I would have been hit by her fatal attack and maybe I would have been killed. '

Elbaf asked once again 'Is there anything between us to hide?'

Primo replied casually, 'What do you mean hiding from?'

Elbaf replied 'about your true identity and where you first woke up during hibernation and with whom did you train?'

Primo simply replied 'Have I been lying all this time?'

Elbaf was silent and Primo excused himself to sleep. in his room while in his bed Primo lay feeling pain throughout his body while fighting and ploughing the fields. in his mind if I could use healing magic Primo fell asleep after that.

Stella went to see a masked knight wearing a black cloak. Stella asked the knight if the battle was known to others?

The knight replied no, even your own opponent can also use censorship magic so that your battle no one notices.

Stella was surprised by Primo's fighting concentration which she thought was difficult to do.

The knight also advised her to train even stronger Stella also thanked the knight for training her all this time. on the other hand the knight was amazed by Primo as if he had a plan for Primo. in his mind he said 'when can I meet you again Primo and how far will you develop. '
