Since there were only two matches today, they weren’t placed next to each other. Rather, one match was placed in the morning, and the other one was placed in the afternoon.
The match between [One Sword] and Luck Prince Shevchenko was in the morning. Although there wasn’t any suspension, it was a semi-final match after all. It attracted a lot of people; there were at least 60,000 to 70,000 people around the No.1 Sword-Testing Stage. As everyone was squeezed against each other, the bodily heat kept everyone warm.
Since Angela still hadn’t come back from St. Petersburg, Fei was a little worried. He sent Torres who was the calmest to St. Petersburg to see what was going on, and he wasn’t in the mood to watch the match between [One Sword] and Luck Prince Shevchenko. He decided to stay in the central tent and wait for new information.
Fei didn’t feel like Luck Prince Shevchenko could win, and Matt Razi who was known for his vision and identification abilities also didn’t comment much about Shevchenko. Fei thought about it for a while and realized that there was no way that the Luck Prince Shevchenko could win, and he lost all interest in going to the No.1 Sword-Testing Stage to watch the battle.
After a series of deep and loud bugle sounded, a blue light flashed in the direction of the No.1 Sword-Testing Stage, and the crowd started to cheer. It was obvious that the protective magic array was activated, and the match began.
Instead of wasting his time, Fei went to an empty area in Chambord’s campsite and started instructing Inzagi and the [Four Little Dragon] about the assassination skills.
Not too far away, Cech was doing some recovery exercises; he finally woke up after Fei treated him with the instruction sent by [Silver Armored Vicious Sword]. As he moved around to stretch his limbs, he taught Pierce and Drogba about the keys and tips on how to lead soldiers and control teams.
After Cech lost his consciousness, Fei realized that he really lacked talented people in terms of leading soldiers. He only had two; one of them was Cech and the other one was Brook. Robbin who just became apart of Chambord also had a good performance, and Fei counted him as a half talent.
Except for these three people, the rest were all interested in other areas. Lampard was powerful, but he didn’t like military and politics; he was only interested in cultivation. Pierce and Drogba were two strongmen who were good at fighting and had no intelligence; they were good warriors but terrible commanders. When Cech was in a deep sleep, it was pretty chaotic at the campsite; there was even a time when the schedule was all messed up and no one patrolled the campsite for six hours at night. Therefore, right after Cech woke up, Fei ordered Pierce and Drogba to learn the basic from Cech.
Although the two of them didn’t like this kind of stuff, they had to try their best to learn since the king already commanded.
Eh? The match is still going after 10 minutes?
Fei subconsciously looked at the direction of No.1 Sword-Testing Stage and realized that it was still packed. People were cheering and shouting, and it seemed like the scene where [One Sword] defeated Luck Prince Shevchenko in a few seconds didn’t occur.
Damn! I didn’t expect this Luck Prince Shevchenko to last more than 10 minutes under [One Sword]’s attacks. It must be tough.
Fei thought. The luck of this prince would need to extraordinarily good to last this long.
After another 10 minutes.
Eh? Is it still going? What happened?
Fei was shocked to find that the crowd around the No.1 Sword-Testing Stage didn’t downsize. Actually, it seemed like it was increasing in size as more and more people were rushing towards No.1 Sword-Testing Stage from all directions.
Could it be that [One Sword] couldn’t defeat the Luck Prince Shevchenko?
Fei was really shocked this time. He couldn’t believe that both he and Matt Razi who was the No.1 Traveling Poet of Zenit misjudged Prince Shevchenko.
After closing his eyes, Fei slowly released his Spiritual Power. He instantly sensed two strong vital energies fighting each other. One of them was like a huge sword that was soaring into the sky, and the other one was firm and dense like a huge mountain.
Fei was very familiar with the
sword
; that was [One Sword].
However, that firm and dense mountain-like energy was very new to Fei. It was fighting with the
sword
and wasn’t at a disadvantage.
: Semi-Finals (Part Two)
Fei’s face changed color.
Could it be that this energy belongs to Shevchenko?
Fei called over Robbin and told him to go to No.1 Sword-Testing Stage with one Divy Crystal and record the whole match. If he wasn’t wrong, [One Sword] might have a tough fight.
Just as Robbin left the campsite, a fancy magic carriage that was dragged by four Roaring Flame Beasts appeared. There was a Chambord’s symbol on it, and this was the magic carriage Fei got for Angela when they were at Hot Spring Gate.
The carriage soon entered the campsite of Chambord.
After seeing this,
Fallen Princess
Victoria quickly rushed out of the maids’ tent to greet her. As long as Angela was here, she won’t be as afraid of Fei who always scolded her with a straight face.
After Spring, Summer, Winter, and Emma opened the curtain on the carriage and got off, they helped Angela whose face was still a bit red to get off the carriage.
What happened?
Fei frowned as he walked up. He realized that Angela was still a little drunk as there was a sweet fragrance of wine on her. However, her tipsy appearance was a little seductive.
Your Majesty.
The maids quickly greeted Fei. Spring who was wearing a green dress and had her long black hair tied into a ponytail quickly answered,
Your Majesty, Her Highness drank a bit too much last night. On top of that, there were some nobles that came this morning to visit the Elder Princess, and she hosted another small party. Angela Her Highness……
Oh.
Fei frowned and responded. He then waved his hand and continued,
I’m sure that you guys are very tired after taking caring of Angela all night. Please go back and rest…… Emma, you need to rest as well. You have dark circles around your eyes. You look like a panda now.
Although she didn’t know what a panda was, Emma was really tired. She wanted to say something, but she was too tired and yawned instead. After that, she stuck out her tongue at Fei and went to rest with the three maids.
Fei embraced the drunk Angela and took her back to the central tent. After he placed her on the soft bed, he covered her with a blanket and wiped her face with a clean wet towel.
He shook his head as he looked at her again. Angela wasn’t an alcoholic and rarely drank. Just by looking at her face, Fei knew that she drank a lot in the last 24 hours. Fei felt a heartache and didn’t know why she would drink this much. However, it was fortunate that she didn’t drink so much that she puked.
Fei used the mini-magic arrays engraved on the metal frame of the tent to adjust the room temperature to a pleasant degree. After he moved the blanket and made sure that it covered Angela’s entire body, a gentle smile appeared on Fei’s face as he stared at her cute sleeping face; love was written all over his face.
Fei just sat by the bed and stared at her. When he subconsciously reached out and fixed her hair, he suddenly saw a red magic box that was partially gold-gilded on the nightstand beside Angela. Fei opened it and saw three oval-shaped egg-like fossils.
Fei remembered that he bought them from an
old scammer
. In fact, he bought a lot of stuff from that old man after he was told that they were all from Mythical Ruins. These three
eggs
were apart of what Fei bought, and he gave them to Angela as presents.
Fei grabbed onto one fossil, and it was quite warm.
Fei smiled and remembered that he told Angela unintendedly that these might be eggs of powerful Demon Beasts and they might be lucky enough to be hatched. Angela probably took that to heart and designed this fire-elemental magic box to try to
incubate
them.
After placing the
egg
back into the box, Fei placed the magic box back onto the nightstand. As Fei was about to leave, Angela who was asleep suddenly reach out her hand and somehow grabbed onto Fei’s hand.
Alexander, eh…… Don’t go~ I don’t want to drink, but…… hug me~
she murmured.
Fei shook his head and got onto the bed. With his clothes on, he embraced the girl and felt very calm.
He had a beauty in his arms and smelled her bodily fragrance, but he had no obscene thoughts in his head. He just felt very comfortable, and all the messy thoughts he had disappeared.
……
Two hours later.
Fei opened his sleepy eyes and subconsciously tried to wrap his arms around Angela. He hugged onto nothing and instantly woke up. He looked to his side and realized that Angela was already up.
Alexander, you awake?
As Fei was wondering where Angela was, Angela walked into the tent with a tray that had a bowl of porridge on it.
How long was I asleep?
Fei asked as he quickly finished the porridge.
It has been two hours already. You would need to show up for your match in half an hour.
Angela responded with a smile.
This long?
Fei shook his head. For this period, he had been participating in the matches during the day and training in Diablo World at night. He had been only sleeping for three to four hours a night, but the two-hour nap he just had re-energized him.
Every time he spent alone time with Angela, he was able to forget about all the issues and problems and just enjoy the quality time. No one else could give him this feeling, and he felt like the beautiful girl in front of him was a gift from the gods.
As he was about to ask why she was so drunk, Torres suddenly reported outside that Robbin who went to record the match has returned.
What? [One Sword] actually…… lost?
Fei was shocked after talking to Robbin.
