“Ugh…”

The emperor lay on the bed with a displeased expression as he looked at Eurius.

“Is that all you brought after making me lie down like this?”

Eurius was in his prime and had reached a high level as a warrior.

He received proper treatment and was able to get up in a day and visit the emperor.

Hehe

But even with that unhappy gaze, Eurius was only smiling sheepishly.

‘What did he eat wrong?’

The emperor wondered as he looked at the bulky sword that Eurius had brought.

In fact, if it was really the beloved sword of the Scharnos Emperor, it would be a big problem to bring it, but no one would believe that anyway if they tried to use that sword, so it didn’t matter to give it to Eurius.

The problem was that the sword was useless in the emperor’s eyes. But Eurius didn’t stop smiling and asked him.

“May I draw the sword in front of you, Your Majesty?”

“The sword? Do you want to do some gymnastics with that club?”

The emperor still looked annoyed, but he gave his permission.

‘There’s no way he brought that thing without any thought.’

Shrrr

This dragon sword was black in both the hilt and the blade.

And it wasn’t even a shiny black gloss.

Nor was it sharp enough to be called a treasure sword, so it was literally nothing more than a club as the emperor said.

‘But it’s different now that the seal is broken!’

Eurius looked confident as he sent a signal to the sword in his mind.

‘Second form transformation’

“…”

“…?!”

The hall was suddenly filled with a chilly atmosphere.

The emperor looked at him with a why-are-you-doing-this expression as he just stood there holding the sword.

Eurius panicked inside.

‘Why is this thing acting up again?’

He quickly checked the status of the sword.

[Not for show, ungrateful son, be filial first]

‘This bastard…’

Eurius momentarily considered throwing this sword out for real.

Why did he have to receive moral education (?) from this sword?

‘Well… but it’s not entirely wrong.’

“Please wait a moment. I have something prepared beforehand.”

Eurius hurriedly searched his pocket and took out something he had brought as a gift for the emperor’s visit.

The gift was a small pill contained in a jade box.

“What is this?”

“This is a medicine I obtained by chance when I traded with the East. I heard that it was made from an herb called red lotus, which has been aged for decades, and it has excellent effects on restoring vitality.”

In fact, Eurius felt guilty for making the old emperor lie down after fighting with this sword (?).

After making the deal, he occasionally received some rare elixirs from the East as a courtesy, and he carefully picked one of them to give to the emperor as a gift.

“Hehe… I appreciate your sincerity, but you should avoid such things next time.”

There is no parent who is not happy to receive a precious gift from their child.

Especially if it’s their favorite child? In fact, Eurius had never done much filial piety in his previous life as a troublemaker, so he didn’t know much about this kind of psychology.

‘This seems to have more effect than I thought?’

The emperor’s expression softened considerably as he saw the gift.

Eurius looked at the sword with a curious expression.

Clank!

At that moment, the bulky blade of the Yellow Dragon Sword suddenly peeled off and revealed a dazzling silver blade inside.

“Hooh…”

The emperor looked at the sword with interest.

It looked like an ordinary sword just before, but now he could see that it had a sharp edge that showed its extraordinary quality.

“It seems like it had a hidden function?”

“I had a hard time finding it too. Haha!”

[Yellow Dragon Sword (Stage 1)]

Category: Intelligent Weapon (The weapon has its own ego.)

Current state: Sincerity, recognition, leniency.

Trait: It is extremely difficult to infuse force into this sword. Being able to use this sword as a normal weapon is proof that your control of force has reached its limit. Refer to the help for training methods.

Second form: You can adjust the property of repelling force. Use it for training.

The yellow dragon sword at stage 1 was no longer useless as a club.

It could be used as a normal sword depending on Eurius’ will.

And it was also an excellent treasure sword at first glance.

Anyway, the emperor was pleased with the gift that Eurius had given him, and he understood that he didn’t lie down for nothing.

He suddenly felt very good.

“By the way, tomorrow is the award ceremony for the royal martial arts tournament.”

“That was not an ordinary request. You can decide, Your Majesty.”

“Can I do that? It’s unprecedented for a new knight order to win the royal martial arts tournament. I’ll prepare a suitable reward for you.”

Eurius had two requests when he declared his victory in the martial arts tournament and asked the emperor. One of them had already been executed.

The first was to access the royal report, and the second was the prize that came with the tournament.

***

The award ceremony was held in the central square of Scharnof so that as many people as possible could see it.

“We will now begin the award ceremony for the 80th Royal Martial Arts Tournament!”

As the announcer’s voice rang out, the crowd began to stir.

“It was a really amazing tournament.”

“It’s one thing that the Golden Lion Knight Order lost, but who would have thought that the fanatics of Calihara would terrorize the capital…”

“Not only was their record of consecutive wins broken, but they also suffered a lot of damage. It must have been a nightmare for them.”

As they said, the sight of the Golden Lion Knight Order climbing up to the podium was terrible.

Their uniforms were intact, but if you looked closely, you could see that their numbers had decreased a lot and there were many knights with bandages all over their bodies.

“Overall second place! The Imperial Golden Lion Knight Order!”

Second place wasn’t a bad result, but their faces were miserable.

They had given up their 20-year record of consecutive wins to a new knight order composed mostly of greenhorns.

The Grand Duke also looked at the knight order on the podium with a cold eye.

“The Golden Lion Knight Order, who came in second place, will receive an additional prize money of the first place winner, besides the original prize money.

This is the generosity of His Highness the First Prince for the Golden Lion Knight Order, who suffered a great loss this time.”

The Grand Duke’s eyebrows twitched again.

‘That bastard First Prince must have had a lot of fun mocking me.’

‘Well, it’s better than not getting anything, right?’

Their eyes briefly met.

In fact, this was also a clear provocation from Eurius.

The tournament prize money was a huge amount, but it wasn’t that important for someone like the Grand Duke or Eurius.

But the people around them seemed to think differently.

“Indeed… The prize money for the first place in the royal martial arts tournament must be equivalent to the annual budget of seven mid-tier knight orders. His Highness the Prince is very generous.”

“He is also very considerate of his subordinates, as shown by his achievements in the north.”

Among the nobles and the crowd who were watching the podium, sporadic praises for Eurius burst out.

The Grand Duke felt bitter, but he couldn’t show any disrespect to Eurius in this atmosphere.

He bowed his head slightly toward Eurius.

‘You better be prepared for how long this leisure will last.’

‘To be precise, I achieved great results this time because the Grand Duke didn’t know much about me. I can never be complacent in the future.’

A quiet battle of nerves passed by, and finally it was time for the overall winner to receive their award.

“The overall winner of this tournament is His Highness the First Prince’s knight order. In recognition of their amazing achievement as a new knight order, His Majesty the Emperor has decided to personally award them!”

“His Majesty the Emperor?”

“Well, he must love His Highness the First Prince very much.”

The murmurs stopped as soon as the emperor came up to the podium. The emperor spoke with a dignified voice.

“First Prince Eurius and his knight order have shown an astonishing achievement that is unbelievable for a newly established knight order. Therefore, I will give them a special prize with my authority, in addition to the existing rewards.”

Everyone in the audience watched the emperor with bated breath.

The prize given by the emperor would not be an ordinary thing.

Soon, the emperor opened his mouth.

“I heard that Eurius’ knight order doesn’t have an official emblem or name yet. Is that true?”

“That’s right.”

Eurius answered and the emperor finally announced the prize.

“It is unacceptable that a knight order that won the royal martial arts tournament doesn’t have a name. Bring me the flag!”

At that moment, two guards behind the emperor quickly brought a large flag.

The people who saw the emblem on the flag couldn’t help but widen their eyes.

Anyone on the continent who was decent enough would know that emblem.

The emblem was a picture of an azure dragon and a golden sword crossing each other.

“Isn’t that the flag of the Emperor? Could it be…”

At that moment, the emperor shouted with a hoarse voice that didn’t suit his age.

“From this moment on, by the authority of the emperor, I grant the name [Scharnos] to the knight order under First Prince Eurius!”

The dragon and sword emblem and the name Scharnos!

This was the symbol of the knight order under Sharnos Emperor, who founded the empire. But since his era, there was not a single knight order in the empire that was allowed to use this name.

But shockingly, the emperor allowed Eurius’ knight order to use this name.

The weight of this name was not light.

Even Eurius was slightly surprised.

His original second wish was to receive an official name from the emperor for his knight order, just like the Golden Lion Knight Order.

A knight order that broke down the Golden Lion Knight Order and won overall received a name!

This symbolic event was necessary to raise his external evaluation beyond his achievements.

That was one of his goals for this tournament.

‘But it’s also a name that suits my knight order best?’

His knight order had many talents who would make their names known on the continent.

And he was decisively a player like Scharnos Emperor, his ancestor.

The emperor didn’t know that and granted him this name, but it couldn’t be more appropriate for Eurius.

“I thank you for your generous kindness, Your Majesty!”

He took the flag directly from the emperor and raised it high so that everyone in the square could see it.

‘I may not have enough fame for this name yet, but I can build it up!’

And Eurius smiled at the other knights who were standing with a stunned expression.

“What are you doing? You should be happy too!”

“Ah!”

The knights, including the leader Heinz, all knelt on one knee and bowed to the emperor and Eurius.

Clap… clap clap

“Woohoo!!!”

“Long live His Majesty the Emperor!!! Long live His Highness the First Prince!!!”

The cheers and applause that started sporadically among the crowd soon covered the entire square.

He didn’t know what would happen in the future, but Eurius’ achievements so far were not ordinary, and he was still young.

In fact, his achievements in the north were so far away that they didn’t feel much even when they heard the news of his victory.

But this royal martial arts tournament was different!

They watched a new knight order achieve an unbelievable feat with their own eyes.

The excited crowd psychology and excitement created this passionate cheer.

Even among the Grand Duke’s faction of nobles, there were murmurs.

“It’s like a coronation ceremony for the crown prince. This is why the lowly ones are tsk!”

“But what if this really happens? The Grand Duke also suffered a lot this time…”

No matter how loud the cheers were, their discussion couldn’t escape the ears of the Grand Duke, who was a superhuman.

He could see that his absolute trust was gradually collapsing.

He looked at Eurius and the emperor with colder eyes.

‘If this was planned from the beginning, it would be really scary.’

The Grand Duke felt that he had to revise his plan completely.

If Eurius and the emperor had this ability, he couldn’t guarantee his victory even if he started a civil war.

‘Maybe I’ll have to fight with all my strength.’

He had mostly used his subordinates and forces to keep Eurius and the emperor in check. But he judged that if he suffered more losses, his plan might collapse completely.

On the other hand, Eurius was lost in thought.

He enjoyed the sense of accomplishment from his achieved plan, but he still had plans that he hadn’t executed and seen the results of, and plans that he had to make in the future.

One was the western front!

Another was the alliance with the desert kingdom!

‘I wonder how Devon is doing. I should hear some news soon.’
