It’s getting harder and harder to be a villain these days

"Whoosh whoosh!"

A series of sharp blades pierced the air, and sharp cold light went straight to Weekly's body.

Vickrey flashed past and avoided these sword lights.

...

About 10 minutes into the second sparring session, Yura stopped her attack.

"Not bad, I can actually hold on for so long."

After a long period of training, Weekly's physical strength was probably the same as that of an average knight. He didn't even feel tired after this level of sparring.

The two of them had just competed purely in swordsmanship, and both sides had a tacit understanding and did not use any offensive magic.

However, Vickrey's military swordsmanship really impressed Yula. It was rare to be able to practice such a basic swordsmanship to such a level.

I really don’t know how he learned that ruthless swordsmanship.

If Vickrey hadn't made some beginner's mistakes, Yora would have thought she was sparring with a senior from the Royal Knights.

"I'm going to speed up."

"it is good."

Surprised by Vickrey's swordsmanship, Yura suddenly quickened her pace.

In the blink of an eye, they fought fiercely for several rounds.

"...Can you still keep up?"

Yula looked at him in disbelief.

"Well, it's okay."

Weekley only took a few breaths, and after turning on the power assistance of the mage's hand, he didn't even break out a few drops of sweat.

"Then let's continue. This time I will use my full strength."

Yura, who was aroused to be competitive, made up her mind.

"it is good."

Then the two started fighting again, and Yura used her full strength.

...

For the next half hour, the two kept moving at a high speed and fought hard.

But as time went by, Yura gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"..."

Suddenly, Vickrey noticed the sweat beads on the side of Youla's face. She was sweating, and her steps became a little messy, as if she was in pain.

Yura's magic power was damaged. In addition to her magic power, her physical strength was also a big problem and she couldn't fight for a long time.

Vickery frowned, becoming more determined in his mind.

"Let's stop, you look a little tired."

"...Is that so?"

Youla smiled bitterly, her face a little gloomy. She knew her physical condition best, but there was nothing she could do about it.

"But Vickrey, your swordsmanship is really superb. I lost..."

Vickery looked at Yula silently.

Soaked in sweat, she exuded a hazy beauty.

"Don't say that, Yora, you are a knight."

Yora tilted her head, she didn't understand what Vickrey was going to say.

"As your fiancé, I naturally have to work hard to match you, so there is no winner or lose between you and me."

Vickery smiled slightly and whispered.

"...Ah, this, is this it?"

Yura's cheeks flushed and her ears were dyed red.

She lowered her head, steam rising from her head.

Quite a cute reaction.

Although the actual situation was that he was exercising in order to survive, Vickery was far from stupid enough to point this out himself.

At this moment, a burst of applause came from not far away...

"Hahaha, what a wonderful sparring. Weekly, your swordsmanship is no worse than ours."

In the garden, Sesepan and Eugene walked over with a smile.

"Are you ready? Chamberlain Chawen has come to inform you that we are required to gather today."

"I know, let's go have breakfast together?"

Vickrey put away the mithril sword and asked politely.

finally coming?

"Yeah..."

Scepan said with a smile.

Vickrey walked into the living room, followed closely by Yola and the other three.

It's just that while eating, Yula kept stealing glances at Vickrey's face...

As Vickrey's personal bodyguard, she had the right to go along.

This is a decree from His Majesty, even if he refuses!

Chapter 143 Your Majesty!Think twice!

In the palace, Ekarina sat on the throne and looked down at the ministers. Her desk was filled with complaints written by the ministers.

"Your Majesty, I'm worried that opening the Galallon mining area will cause a series of problems. It's not too late to turn back now."

"In a while, the Wizards Council will suppress the Red Blood Tribe, which will inevitably lead to resistance. If problems occur again in the Galalon region, the empire will face internal and external troubles..."

The ministers have been repeating these words for more than a week, and Yekarina has a headache from hearing them.

"The opening of the Jalalon Mining Area is inevitable. Stop talking about it. I don't want to hear it."

"Your Majesty! Think again!"

"This is the late emperor's will."

"Those adventurers will definitely lure the devil out."

The collective shouts of these ministers made Ekarina's forehead bulge with veins.

Just when she was about to have a seizure, Knight Kevin came over and whispered in Yekarina's ear.

"Your Majesty, Vickery is here."

Hearing this, Yekarina immediately laughed.

"Okay! It's teaching time, everyone, please step aside!"

"But Your Majesty, we haven't decided yet—"

"If I say to quit, I'll quit! I'm wasting my time on learning rune magic, you're going to teach me?"

Runic magic.

This is Yekarina's trump card. Faced with the lost ancient magic, the ministers have nothing to do even if they complain again.

"..."

Sure enough, the ministers below became mute one by one, and at the same time their resentment against Vickrey deepened.

"This morning is over, everyone, please go down."

---

"You are here."

In the study, Yekarina greeted Vickery with a smile.

"Ah."

"The ministers have become more and more outrageous recently. If it weren't for the sake of my deceased father, I would definitely punish them."

As soon as she saw Vickery, Ekarina began to complain.

"That's it, then let's start the class now. The runes that Your Majesty will master today are..."

However, Vickery was ready to teach as soon as he sat down, which made Yekarina a little dissatisfied.

"..."

She put her hand on her chin and looked at Vickery quietly, her eyes as sharp as a knife's edge.

The two sides stalemate for a long time.

In the end, Yekarina sighed and broke the situation.

"Alas, you are only thinking about that damn rune... As a count, don't you, Weekley, have no understanding of the current situation?"

Because of being tortured by the ministers, Yekarina's desire to learn today was extremely close to zero.

"His Majesty..."

Vickery also realized this and could only concentrate on listening to Yekarina's words.

"Currently, the ministers are strongly opposed to me opening the Galalon mining area, but they are in favor of the suppression of the Red Blood Tribe..."

Yekarina paused, then looked lazily at Vickery.

"What do you think about this matter?"

"..."

Although the Galallon Mine has been opened, the reason why ministers are desperately trying to close the door is actually very simple.

Vickery answered without hesitation.

"On the surface, the supply of magic stones is sufficient. There is no need to open Galalon at the risk of exposing the empire to enemies from both sides. It is not unreasonable for the ministers to object."

For an instant, Yekarina's expression froze, and she leaned back on the chair in great disappointment.

"Humph, it seems you are no different."

But Vickrey's words were not over yet.

"But in fact, the existing magic stone mines are basically monopolized by the Claire family, Pearl family, and the two major families. Not only the price, but also the supply is also controlled by them."

"..."

Hearing those words, Yekarina's eyebrows became sharp again.

The reason why she insists on opening Galalon is simple, because 70% of the magic stones on the continent once came from there.

"For this reason, even the late emperor had to set a certain course

Pamper them to a certain extent and maintain a good relationship. "

"As an emperor, it is too funny to have to look at the faces of his ministers."

Yekarina nodded, and her eyes began to tilt towards Vickery's lips arrogantly.

She was eager to hear this guy's next words.

"Therefore, the main reason why the minister does not want your majesty to open Galalon is not because he is afraid that the empire will fall into crisis..."

"What they are afraid of is that once Galalon is opened, countless magic stones inside will flow into the market. With the intervention of the imperial power, they will have no room to intervene."

A smile appeared on Ekarina's face.

Vickery continued.

"Therefore, opening up the Garalon region is actually a means to strengthen His Majesty's power, and those who strongly oppose it——"

"They are all guys with different intentions, and they even infiltrated into the spies of the Red Blood Clan."
