I Became a Bookkeeper the Monarchs Are Obsessed With

25 – Crown Prince vs Northern Grand Duke – 9

Meanwhile, Archduke Cronor’s army had longbowmen waiting by the riverside.

The longbow, made of a special yew tree that only grows in the north, boasted tremendous range and destructive power. It was enough to hit the enemy across the river.

“Fire!”

Grand Duke Kronor shouted the firing signal, and the longbowmen of the Grand Duchy began firing arrows at once.

Even though the arrows were fired from afar, the magically treated arrows were incredibly powerful. Even though there were many heavy infantry and heavy cavalry, the Prince’s army did not dare to advance easily due to the splendor of the arrows pouring down.

“These damn bastards! What are you afraid of! I’ll cut you if you don’t advance… ”

The prince tried to run amok with his sword.

“majesty.”

Diane de Balboa quietly pushed the prince back and said,

“It’s a big deal if Your Highness, who is to become the emperor in the future, gets a scar on his jade body. Please stay back.”

“Dian… ”

“All troops! Focus on me!”

Having said that, Dian mounted his horse and started charging towards the enemy.

Countless arrows from the longbow rained down on Dian. However, Dian did not get hit by a single arrow from the longbow. It was to cut all the arrows with a sword wrapped in an aura blade!

“Oh, that… ”

“The symbol of the sword master that there is only one in the world!”

Yes. The aura blade of Diane de Balboa, the only sword master in the world at the moment, was like a fantasy to the soldiers.

Soldiers whose morale rose in an instant. And Dian shouted at those soldiers.

“Everyone, charge! Follow me!”

Only then did the hesitant soldiers begin dipping their feet into the river. Dian charged while constantly cutting down the falling arrows. Seeing Dian like that, the prince felt relieved. It’s good that he’s his subordinate. I’m glad I’m not under anyone else’s.

The law to advance soldiers was not to threaten to cut their throats from behind. It was yelling at me to follow me from the front. Realizing this, the prince promised to reward Dian with a big reward once this battle was over. And soon…

-Kwaaang!!!

The vanguards of the two armies began to collide. The prince’s army began to crush the enemy with the stronghold of Dian de Balboa in front of them. Seeing this, Carl von Chronor gnashed his teeth.

“Dian de Balboa… !”

From Carl von Cronor’s point of view, the crown prince was not a very scary opponent. Although they have a lot of numbers and good equipment, they are still middlemen. If the northerners had a geographical advantage in the north and decided to fight, they could have stopped the middlemen two or three times.

But that one person, Diane de Balboa, was an exception. That bitch is strong as a human being. see now Doesn’t the Crown Prince run wild with excitement because one Dian is active?

“Damn it, do something! Kill Diane de Balboa!”

The moment I shouted that, someone jumped out on horseback. That’s Emilia von Chronor. The second daughter of Carl von Cronor and the strongest swordsman in the North.

Emilia von Chronor was the most promising among Arcadia Academy’s second year students. If the first year’s best prospect is Princess Leonia, then in the second year, it’s definitely Emilia. To that extent, Diane also taught Emilia tactics. So, when Emilia came running from afar on horseback, Dian recognized Emilia right away.

“You are my student! Have you come to ask for instruction?”

“I wanted to compete with you one day.”

Having said that, Emilia rushed towards Diane. Diane and Emilia. The two horses rushed at each other.

-Chaeeng!

When the swords collided for the first time, it was Emilia who fell off the horse.

“Posture, 100 points. Swordsmanship, 100 points. Horseback riding, 100 points!”

Diane charged at Emilia, who had fallen from her horse. Emilia dodged the horse that came running towards her and rolled sideways with all her might.

“But I’m still not good enough to deal with a sword master!”

Dian drove his horse towards Emilia, changing direction several times. But every time that happened, Emilia kept rolling on the floor and somehow managed to escape.

Emilia’s pure white cadet uniform was stained with mud. And before long, Diane shouted.

“You were a promising student. Maybe as much as Charles Jean Rochepole. But consider it bad luck to meet me here!”

Saying that, Dian sprinted with all his might. However, in the next moment, thick aura blades began to form on Emilia’s sword.

“Aura Blade?”

Dian felt an aura at the level of aura that was different from the level of Emilia he knew so far, and quickly jumped off his horse and rolled on the floor. The head of the horse Dian was riding was cut off by Emilia. Diane, who rolled on the floor just like Emilia, stroked the head of her beloved horse, who was crying with her head severed.

“It has been a lot of hard work so far. I will avenge your enemies.”

After saying that, Dian drew his sword again and walked forward.

“When did you become a sword master? Have you been hiding your skills until now?”

“You who do not know the kindness of the goddess will not understand.”

“You are arrogant. At best, I just got rid of my horse. I am alive and well here!”

“I’ll take that neck too.”

“However much!”

As Dian rushed forward, the swords of Dian and Emilia soon began to become entangled. At first, they started fighting with each other’s skills. Dian swung the sword in a complex way, while Emilia was only in a hurry to block it.

“Even if you have an aura, it’s useless if your swordsmanship doesn’t follow you! You have come a long way from following me!”

Diane’s words were not bluffing. Diane’s sword was overwhelmingly faster and more complex than Emilia’s, and Emilia’s hands and feet became dizzy when dealing with such Diane, and she had no choice but to be pushed back.

‘Is there a difference in rank after all… ‘

When I first became a sword master, I thought that with this level of achievement, I might be able to defeat Diane de Balboa. But that was Emilia’s mistake. Even among the same sword masters, there was a difference in class. But at that moment.

“Goddess… ?”

“yes? What did you say?”

Emilia muttered as she stared into the void. and after a while

-Wheeik!

At the same time as he swung his sword, the wind pushed Diane de Balboa away. Diane couldn’t help but be embarrassed. Emilia was strong. But it wasn’t quite like this… ?

“You still have hidden skills?”

Dian retreats, unable to withstand Emilia’s suddenly stronger sword. And Emilia said to Diane.

“Hey.”

Diane was taken aback by Emilia’s sudden words.

“yes? Child? What are you talking about? Emilia. Am I 11 years older than you?”

“The child who trembled in fear under the covers every night has become so strong.”

At those words, Dian frowned. It was because I couldn’t understand why Emilia was suddenly saying this.

“You have sublimated the fear deeply engraved in your heart into an obsession for nothing. It can’t be anything but auspicious that the weakest has become so strong.”

“Emilia. I doubt very much whether you are sane. How about going to the doctor?”

“How much heartache did you have from two older brothers with bad hobbies? The sword that started to escape from them has now changed your destiny, so how could this not be a good thing? hey I am proud of you.”

At that moment, Dian had no choice but to freeze. Yes. Dian didn’t start the sword for the same reason as others. childhood. Dian’s two older brothers abused him, and Dian learned the sword to protect himself from them. That’s what sublimated into a tenacity for pure nothingness and rose to the position of a sword master.

However, only a small fraction of humans know that fact. Who the hell opened up? Are you the butler? Or other families?

No, I thought it couldn’t be. The two older brothers couldn’t open their mouths about their private affairs, and there was no reason for the butler to tell Emilia, who lived so far away, the truth.

“How the hell did you know?”

“Aye. You still don’t know what I am.”

“Shut up, Emilia! I will kill you!”

Dian’s Aura Blade began to thicken. It was a completely different output than before. I will do everything in my power to destroy the enemy in front of me. It was a real aura that only came out when I made that promise.

“Hey, accept me. Then you too… ”

“Shut up!”

Having said that, Dian raised his sword high.

“Looks like you need to learn more.”

Emilia smiled viciously and put her sword into the scabbard.

“What are you doing? Take out your sword.”

“This is enough.”

“If so, I will kill you.”

Diane ran towards Emilia. Judging from the situation in which the enemy puts the sword in the scabbard and puts his hand on the sword handle, it seems to be a maneuver to pull out the sword and cut it at the exact timing of the collision, but if you slash up from the slashing table, it is advantageous to slash it down. Diane thought. Emilia thought it was an excellent stone, but she said she had no intention of looking at it as long as she touched her painful past. It’s unfortunate that an excellent material died and disappeared here, but you could think of it as atonement for touching someone else’s painful past.

“Emilia!!!”

Thinking so, Dian jumped up and ran towards Emilia.

“It’s over!”

shhhh. Dian swung his sword from top to bottom, and as Emilia pulled the sword out of the scabbard, she cut Dian at the same time. However, it was Dian who collapsed the next moment. Aside from the compatibility between the middle cut and the top slash, Emilia was far ahead in terms of pure speed.

“What, what?”

Diane was suspicious. After Emilia’s way of speaking became strange, she began to grow stronger rapidly.

“How did you become so strong… ”

dump.

With that question in mind, Diane collapsed, and Emilia’s usual calm expression began to return.

And those who watched the fight between Emilia and Dian were shocked at the same time.

“Dian… lost?”

“Emilia won?”

The joys and sorrows of the prince and Cronor were mixed. The battle between the vanguards was a huge factor that changed the direction of the battlefield.

No one thought that Emilia would defeat Diane. I just thought it would be a relief if I could drag the time until the match was over.

But there was one person who was the only one who predicted it.

That’s right, Charles Jean Rochepole.

Even if everyone else didn’t know, Charles knew the future.

Right before the battle, Diane de Balboa was known as the world’s strongest, but in fact, Diane de Balboa was only second in the world.

So, who is the real number 1 in the world? The answer was simple.

The third-ranking swordsman in the world, Glacia Erenberg.

The second-ranked swordsman in the world, Diane de Balboa.

The best swordsman in the world, and the best psychopath in the world. Emilia Cronor, daughter of the Grand Duke of the North.

That was the information of the future that Charles knew.
