would have to go to work, but now he was staying at the Duke's house in the capital, which was like a vacation until he received his reward from the king.

Thanks to this,  he can sleep twice in the morning without any worries. What a wonderful life. If it were possible, Leolde would have liked to stay like this for the rest of his life, but it was not possible.

"It's morning, Master Leolde.

"...... Isabel. I'd like to get some more sleep."

"I don't mind, but  lord and his wife are already in dinning room.

"I will came soon t.

Leolde, who was pleasantly quick to switch gears, quickly changed clothes and headed for the dining room. Regulus and Leila did not want to see  his face in the morning,  so they would eat later.  learning this, Leolde felt depressed.

After breakfast, Leolde  went  to his daily training. This time, however, Olivia was watching him, so he couldn't be as reckless as  he sed do be . So, he only exercised lightly.

The training continued until noon, when it was time for lunch and a break. Before lunch, Leolde  washed his body to wash off the sweat. The other day, Olivia had attacked him, so he locked the door just in case ,  and took a bath, just in case.

Having washed away the sweat and refreshed himself, Leolde had lunch. He savored it thoroughly and, satisfied, thought about what he would do in the afternoon.

He was thinking of spending the afternoon working out as he had done in the morning, when Beluga dropped a bombshell.

"Leolde. Tomorrow,  Her Highness is coming to see you.

"Already ? "

"Yes. Be prepared for anything.

"Yes, Father ".

Leolde returned to  his room and buried  his face in her pillow.

(I must somehow refuse the engagement!)

It's impossible to escape. So, why don't just get engaged to someone suitable?)

(No, I can't. In the first place, father has already refused, and I'm sure Her Highness will squash it. If that's the case, there's only one way. I didn't think I'd have to use it here, but I'm not going to hold out for it!)

Leolde has a  trump card . But he  don't know if it will work or not. But he has to try it out 

If it doesn't work, the demon Sylvia will take everything from him. He was determined not to let that happen.

He went to the afternoon training session, but was  tod that he was not moving well and was not concentrating.

"What's the matter, Master Leolde? You're moving a lot more awkwardly than you did in the morning."

"Mmm ......, sorry. I have a problem."

"What's troubling you? I can help you if you like."

"Really? Well, then, let me ask you, how do you think I should refuse   her highness' offer of marriage?

"I'm afraid I can't help you with that."

"Oh, come on! Don't turn your back on me  At least let's  think of something together! 

"Don't be absurd! In the first place, a marriage proposal from  Her Highness is a blessing in disguise! In fact, I don't understand why you want to refuse!"

"Yes, I know , but I don't want it!"

" Why don't you tell me exactly what it is you don't like?

"Actually, I've talked to  Her Highness several times, but  her personality is inexplicably twisted. I think she is a sadist."

"Isn't that perfect for you, master Leolde ? I think you'd be a good match for someone who can hold the reins."

"You certainly seem to have it under control. But it's still impossible. On second thought, it can't be Her Highness."

"Then why don't you talk to your  mother about it?

"As much as I would like to, mother is keen on the idea. ......

"Oh, well, what are you going to do?"

"Well, I've got an idea, and I'm going to try it 

"Well, that's all right, then."

"Whoa!"

A wooden sword is flipped from Leolde's hand. Barbaroto struck  him without  missing a moment of opening  in Leordo.

You opened , Master Leolde."

Leolde, who was frustrated by Barbaroto who decided the face  him , picked up the wooden sword that flew away and slammed the wooden sword  in  Barbaroto to release  his anger.

"Whoa! Hey, if you're going to resume, you should at least say something!

"Oh, shut up! You don't make a declaration when you're attacking on the battlefield!

"Hey! Are you mad at me?"

Barbaroto asks if Leolde is angry with him.

"I'm not angry"!

"But you're moving a lot more slowly than before!"

"It's your imagination!"

Raising his wooden sword prominently, Leolde  swung down with great force and blew Barbaroto away. Barbaroto blocked it, but his hand holding the wooden sword was numb.

"I can't believe it! No matter how you look at it, you're angry~"

Barbaroto muttered in a voice that Leoldo could not hear. "Obviously he is  angry", Leoldo, not knowing that Barbaroto had muttered such a words , closed the distance and struck Barbaroto again with a series of blows.

It's a little bit of a messy move, but Leolde is strong. He is genuinely powerful, and each blow is heavier than the  last one . Barbaroto managed to block Leolde's attack, feeling a little regretful for his teasing.

However, with all those useless movements, Leolde's movements gradually became sluggish, and eventually he was struck in the brain by Barbaroto.

Thus ended the afternoon's training, and Leorde finished dinner, took a bath, and  went to bed .

Leolde went to sleep in preparation for Sylvia, who would be coming tomorrow.
