Bang!

The moment he seemed drunk with power, the prince's body went flying after a strong hit. The prince fell badly and rolled on the floor several times.

"Your Highness!" The court knights shouted in alarm, before turning to Count Balahard.

"Count Balahard! What have you done now?!"

Half the court knights pulled their swords out and surrounded the Count.

Bale Balahard didn't seem bothered. Instead, he stared at his nephew writhing in pain, as he recalled the conversation they had before the sparring.

[You're asking me to intervene? I'm a commander of the 3rd Legion and a Knight of the Quad Chain, what are you talking about?]

His nephew looked rash as he spoke. [If it does happen. Only if it does...]

[If 'what' happens?]

[Please stop me if you think I'm going to kill him. You're my uncle; you will be able to do it.]

It's been three months since his nephew has started exercising, and it was almost half that time when he started training with a sword. It was even just a training sword.

As he listened to his nephew, he thought he seemed overconfident.

What did I say to him? Bale Balahard thought.

[Do not get beaten up and don't cry.]

He didn't know how scary his nephew was and laughed at him.

But the unthinkable actually happened.

At first, he simply tried to push him off, but his nephew's sword went up to him. What terrible choice.

He had to block the attack and counter strongly. He gave intense strength in one blow, so he wouldn't need to do it twice or thrice.

Bale Balahard looked at the sword in his hand. It was glowing brightly as it vibrated.

"Two chains..."

The sword was glowing with a light that occurs when more than one ring was activated.

He gripped the sword hard. Only then did the vibration, and the light of the sword stopped.

The court knights continued to apprehend him. Their number has increased.

"Count Balahard! Answer me! This could be considered a crime against a member of the royal family!"

"He asked me to do it," he replied coolly.

"That sounds unreasonable! Why would His Highness..."

"Stop."

The court knights frowned as they heard his nephew's voice.
