Chapter 88 – 088 – Hyde Clashes With the King’s Children # 2

088 – Hyde clashes with the king’s children # 2

The sparring between Psyche and Atalanta came to fruition.

Alter Archibald was supposed to look after the referee, and people came in droves as word spread.

The wide open space of Gyowangcheong.

“Lord Atalanta and Lord Psyche are fighting?”

“Who will win? Atalanta will probably win, right? Lord Atalanta is a fierce man who has already been active in several battlefields.”

“I heard that Lord Psyche was also active in the battlefield against Rust. “It’s just one time, but it has potential.”

When two strong people fight, who will win?

It was always enough to attract people’s attention.

At the same time, I became a little anxious.

Atalanta.

What if that ignorant woman hurts my precious Psyche?

So can I forgive Atalanta?

I trusted Psyche’s abilities more than anyone else, but Atalanta, who was third in line to the throne, was an unknown even to me.

And to begin with, I had no knowledge of things like fighting or dueling.

Wouldn’t Milione know better about this?

“Milione. What do you think? Who do you think will win?”

Milione was a girl whose violence covered her in human skin.

Since it was Milione, I thought she would naturally predict Psyche’s victory, but Milione suddenly said something else.

“I’ve never seen Psyche so angry.”

Is that so?

In a way, it was like that.

Psyche was generally a person who did not get angry.

Even if someone insulted me or Psyche herself, if that person was low, lowly, and ignorant, I would not try to interact with them as much as possible.

It must be because that is Psyche’s ‘justice.’

Just as there is no adult who gets furious at a 5-year-old child’s ignorant mistake and fights and punches him.

Psyche, a person of high status and powerful power, thought that it was unfair for her to unilaterally get angry and punish the mistakes made by ignorant people.

Psyche actually pitied them.

If Psyche is truly ‘angry’, she is only with an equal partner.

No, in the case of Atalanta, she had a higher status than Psyche.

3rd in line of succession to the throne.

Psyche was unable to tolerate the unjust and mean insult to her husband by someone higher than her and was trying to say something.

“But Psyche will lose.”

What?

Milione, you naughty bitch!

What are you talking about?

Psyche loses!

“That Atalanta is that strong?”

“Okay. Atalanta went so far as to say that she would not marry anyone who was stronger than I. He hasn’t shown up until now, so he’s about to turn 25.”

25 years old.

In this world, a woman’s age of 25 was the standard for an old maid.

Does that mean she didn’t beat any man until she was 25?

“Are you saying that Atalanta is stronger than men like Alter and Roland?”

“No, whatever. In fact, a duel is not something that can be clearly proven as a matter of whether one is strong or weak or strong. In the first place, Roland and Alter are sworn to chastity.”

The sparring started with that feeling.

Alter Archibald said.

“We use real swords, but they must not touch each other’s bodies. And if your opponent surrenders, immediately withdraw your sword. May we spar without shame before the Lord Elohim─.”

Pot-.

As soon as Alter Archbolt raised his hand, the sparring began.
The people who were talking started to silence their mouths.

Atalanta opened her mouth first.

“The knight with the gold plate is the king’s guardian. Someday I will be king. Let’s see if I can protect myself like that! “If you defeat me, you will also apologize for insulting your husband, Mr. Hyde.”

Pot-!

Atalanta moved elastically and extended her spear.

“—Crab!”

The spear she was holding suddenly grew longer and passed by Psyche’s face.
When my hands started to sweat─.

People were amazed.

“As expected, Atalanta is stronger.”

“That’s because, among the three adoptees, military power is by far the best.”

Pot, pot, pot, pot-!

A battle between a spear and a great sword.

Atalanta, who was longer, seemed to have the advantage, and Psyche was on the defensive.

“Didn’t you accept the sparring with the intention of scolding me? Psyche! Where did that proud courage go! Should I pierce your body like this? Huh!?”

Penetrating what?

Even I haven’t been able to penetrate Psyche’s body yet!

Atalanta, you barbaric bitch!

In many ways, it was time for me to clench my fists and find a way to overcome this situation.

“Holy Spirit.”

Wooooow-.

After reciting a short prayer, Psyche’s great sword began to glow golden light.

Pot-.

Atalanta seemed to have sensed something and widened the distance.

But this time, Psyche moved faster.

“Meteors galore!”

Yes!

Psyche swung a great sword as big as her body like it was chopsticks.

“What—!? “You swing this fast—!?”

Atalanta’s spear was instantly thrown away by the enormous weight, and Atalanta also lost her balance.

Kaaaaang-!

Chaae Aeng-!

“This is the end!”

Zek-.

Psyche dug into Atalanta, whose center had collapsed.

Atalanta didn’t even have a moment to react to the quick maneuvers and movements, and before she knew it, a great sword was pointed at her neck.

Victory and defeat were clear.

“…”

Atalanta kept her mouth shut.

People were also surprised.

“That Atalanta lost?”

“Is that Agarpe’s heirloom “Meteor Sword – Agarpe”?”

“I heard that the Agarpe family’s aurors are strong, but I never thought they would be this strong!”

“Okay then, apologize and surrender as promised!”

When people were amazed, Psyche spoke to Atalanta.

Wow-.

Atalanta grinds her teeth as if she is very angry.

She finally raised her hands like a prisoner and smiled pahaha.

“Good. It’s my fault. Actually, I provoked Psyche because I wanted to test your skills. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have sparred with me like this, right? Surrender. It’s my fault. “Hyde is not a fraud.”

Duel.

It ended with Psyche’s victory.

“Hyde. I feel sorry. For saying mean things. It’s my fault.”

“It’s okay. Because I have already forgiven you. As Psyche said, I am a person with a more generous and kind heart than anyone else.”

Atalanta was good to me right now, and I was surprised by Psyche’s skills that I had just seen.

I knew that Psyche would win, but seeing her skills so vividly in front of my eyes made me proud in many ways, but also made me feel cold.

I can’t believe he was that strong.

If Psyche sneezes next to me, won’t my bones break?

When thinking like that, Psyche put down the great sword on the floor and took a deep breath.

And Psyche said.

“Everyone here, listen! Anyone who insults or hurts my husband, Hyde, must be prepared to learn how fast and heavy the sword of Psyche, the golden knight, is!”

Crying-.

Psyche’s voice was louder than I thought.

My bones are shaking.

And Psyche, who confidently revealed her aspirations to the high officials of the church, was very cool.

It was that moment.

Atalanta grabbed her fist and struck Psyche on the back with all her might.
Poop-!

“Ugh!?”

Psyche fell to his knees, blood gushing from his mouth.
It happened so quickly that no one could react, but Atalanta stood proudly.

“Psyche, you must not turn your back on the enemy on the battlefield. Do you know why I have a scar on my stomach? I was caught off guard by the enemy who surrendered. It’s not over until you kill the opponent. Keep that in mind.”

Milione said while looking at that.

“Look. “I knew I would be like that.”

Damn it!

What kind of nonsense are you talking about after cowardly making a surprise attack on a game that is already over?

I ran to Psyche in one month.

“Psyche! Are you okay!?”

“Ugh-.”

Since he vomited blood from his mouth, it was clear that he had suffered internal injuries!

Atalanta you bitch!

As I glared at Atalanta, Atalanta spoke to those around her.

“Look! I won! Heartbreaker Atalanta is still undefeated in sparring! Yes? Then, hurry up and applaud for the winner!”

It was completely reckless.

However, the ministers started clapping in fear and I felt dizzy in many ways.

Clap clap-.

The sound of applause echoes like the sound of falling rain.

I couldn’t bear it anymore.

“No─.”

Zek-.

When I was about to say a word, Psyche grabbed my hand.

The grip was so strong that it hurt so much that I was speechless.

“… Eww…”

Psyche opened her mouth and couldn’t finish the sentence.
Maybe he wants to tell me not to fight.

Soon Atalanta spoke to me.

“Hyde and Psyche. Did you know that His Holiness the Pope is resigning from his position in five years? Then I will soon be king. So, before you say anything, think twice before saying it.”

“I’ve thought about it enough. “Can you cowardly beat your opponent in the back and boast that you won?”

“Cowardice? On the battlefield, no one takes advantage of anything. I learned it at great cost. I saved the life of the golden knight Psyche, who might have died on the battlefield. Rather, do you think you deserve to be thanked? Because this kind of teaching cannot be given to just anyone.”

Zek-.

Saying that, Atalanta picked up the spear that had fallen on the floor.

Little tyrant.

I had no patriotism, but it was clear that if a guy like this became king, the United Kingdom would be at an end.

“Are you sure you can become king? Third in line to the throne. That’s a high number, but on the other hand, doesn’t that mean there are two people above you?”

“What? What did you say just now? I’m worse than those strange guys… !?”

Zek-.

At that time, Alter stepped forward.

“Lord Atalanta. This incident was that serious. There may be a reprimand from His Holiness Pope Gregory. “Please just leave for now.”

“Tch.”

Where are you going!

There were so many things I wanted to say to the crazy bitch.

But what is important right now is Psyche’s safety.

It was so unsettling to see blood gushing out of my mouth!

“Psyche!”

I wanted to carry Psyche on my back, but her armored body was so heavy that I had a hard time even lifting one of her arms.

“What the. “What are you doing?”

Zek-.

In the end, Psyche was supported by Milione.

# ​ ​​​ ​ # # ​ #

“She had internal injuries to her lungs. Her life is not in danger, but she may not be able to speak for a while. “I see that Atalanta didn’t look into her hands at all?”

Sssss-.

Milione touched Psyche’s back with her hand shining white.

“If Psyche had been weak, I think she would have been mortally wounded. Of course, she thought she wouldn’t die like this, so she hit her with her fist, but her attack was quite malicious.”

Susseu-.

When Milione’s hand glowed white, Psyche finally exhaled, “Whoa.”

I felt embarrassed in many ways.

“Milione. Were you able to use divine power?”

“Uh. “Since I was 15.”

Oh my!

The sight of Milione examining Psyche with her divine powers seemed truly surreal to my eyes.
Does this make sense?

Why!

Why can’t Milione use her divine powers?
Is divine power also hereditary?

Why is it only me─.

“I suppressed the pain. But it’s not a cure. Her divine power can only suppress the trauma to some extent. “Stupid Psyche bitch.”

Anyway.

Psyche’s condition was fortunate even among the worst.

Psyche is a natural Auror user.

Since he has strong bones, he will recover in a few days.

But that Atalanta bitch couldn’t just leave it like this.

How dare you sneak up on me from behind and hurt my love, Psyche, whether by surprise or not!

The physical scars were a problem, but what was even more upsetting was that Psyche’s trust in people might be scarred.

“Atalanta. “Why on earth would you do such a horrible and stupid thing?”

I asked myself, but I actually knew the reason.

He must have been unable to bear the humiliation of being defeated by Psyche in front of everyone.

I fully understand the thoughts of small people like Atalanta who value face.

He may be trying to cause even more harm to Psyche, who has clearly brought shame to him.

I’m sure.

Even now, I’m still fuming because my anger hasn’t subsided.

That guy, So In-bae, is third in line to the throne.

The Pope’s adopted son.

Since he was using such courage, he had become a maniac that no one could stop.

At this level, isn’t he a madman of almost the same level as Milione, if not worse than Lass?

It was said that it should not be left like this.

“Hyde… Sorry… Because I lost in Dalian… He believed he had surrendered…”

Psyche groans and raises her body.

I spoke to Psyche.

“Psyche. Why should you apologize for trusting someone? It’s Atalanta who should apologize. “I will teach Atalanta what she deserves.”

Zek-.

I held Psyche’s hand tightly.

Milione frowned while looking at me like that.

“What kind of teachings are you teaching? If you argue with Atalanta, it’s the same as fighting the Pope. Do you know who it is thanks to that Atalanta acts so recklessly?”

I know too.

Today’s incident must have been orchestrated by Pope Gregory.

Pope Gregory told Psyche in front of everyone, “If you accomplish your mission, you can retire,” And later punished Psyche through Atalanta.

They probably thought that the story of Psyche’s retirement damaged the ‘king’s authority.’

It seems like a different person from front to back.

In fact, such a despicable act was natural.

Because there was no one in the world I could trust except me, Hyde, and Psyche.

If I had to make a concession, I think Alter Archibald can be trusted.

Anyway.

I, the Lord is with you, will show you what it means to fight with Hyde and hurt Psyche!
