RISE OF THE FALSE HERO

A Lullaby At Dawn For A Lion

Y/n pov

The room was silent and tense as motoyasu threw a glove at me for a fight

Y/n: why do you want to fight now

Motoyasu: I've heard you've made poor mash your slave and that she obeys your every command

Y/n: I'm still trying to figure out why you care

Motoyasu: you watch your tone

Y/n:(sigh) motoyasu why are you bothering me, yes mash is my loyal slave so what

Motoyasu: so what!? You can't think it's alright to enslave others

Y/n: listen to yourself, slavery is legal in the crazy place

Motoyasu: but we're heroes in this world, this isn't right you and know it

Y/n: everyone has a right to their opinion, even if it's stupid

I got up from the window side and was about to walk away when he pointed his spear at me

Motoyasu: let's do this if I win you set mash free

Y/n: and if I win

Motoyasu: that won't happen, but if it does things will stay the same

Y/n: yeah, no come on mash were leaving

I left and walked down the stairs as the guard places his trident in my way and wouldn't let me pass

King: it has been brought to my attention that you are a hero, have been using another human as your slave to fight for you. You violated our customs and that is reprehensible I order you to accept the challenge

Mash: hey! They don't need to fight im will master of my own will and-

She was caught off as a guy grabbed her from behind

Y/n:...

King: ah your poor thing. You've been placed under a curse that forces you to defend him have you not? Don't worry once master motoyasu wins you shall be released from that curse

Y/n: mash

Then mash broke out of the soldier's grip with ease

???: how is she so strong

Mash: please listen to me im with my master because I chose to-

She was put off as another soldier knocked her out with the base of his sword

Y/n: Hey!

I was about to run up to get her but someone yelled draw swords and all the castle guards aimed their swords at me

Y/n: tch!

Then they placed a necklace on her and I checked the status bar and it was some kinda suppression gem

King: accept the challenge or we will take her by force

Motoyasu: there's nowhere to run coward

Y/n: YOU'RE A SCUMBAG!

motoyasu:!!!

Y/n: I will fight, and I will win, and when I do mash will be returned to me!

Myne: (laughing ) and how will you win without her fake hero

Then the crowd started laughing only making me angrier
