LOL: I am a bad prince in Demacia

Chapter 193 Duel Challenge

"That's pretty much it."

After Lu Qi told it again, he picked up a glass of juice and took two sips.

"hehe."

After Fiona heard this, she glanced at Lu Qi, sneered twice, and turned around to leave.

From these two sneers, Lu Qi vaguely heard the same yin and yang aura as Miss Crown Guard.

Then as soon as he turned his head, he met Kashina's gaze.

"."

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Amuda was sitting at the table with a group of friends from the royal capital, laughing and chatting.

"Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, you are also a famous swordsman on the sword hall list." A man in rich clothes sighed with emotion, picked up the wine glass in his hand, and handed it to Amuda who was sitting opposite him with a smile.

"I have just been on the list not long ago, and there are many people ahead of me who are stronger than me."

Amuda humbly raised the cup in her hand and touched it lightly with the man's.

Next to him, another person smiled and said: "I think you should stop being modest. You can be on the list at such a young age, and you will definitely be at the top soon."

"Yes!" Another person complimented: "Among us, you are the only one on the Sword Hall Ranking."

In Misilver City, there is a place called the "Sword Hall".

Almost all the swordsmen in Demacia, both famous and unknown, gathered here.

The significance of this place to the swordsman can be said to be extraordinary.

In its long history, the Sword Hall has witnessed the rise and fall of countless powerful swordsmen.

The Sword Hall is also a sacred duel place for countless swordsmen.

Many significant duels were held there.

In the Sword Hall, there is a list, which is fair and just based on age, strength and record.

Every swordsman is proud to be on the list, but the Sword Hall brings together swordsmen from all of Demacia, so you can imagine how difficult it is to get on the list.

Not to mention, the gold content is among the best.

Amda's father, the current patriarch of the Laurent family, Sebastian - was once the number one swordsman on the sword hall list at the peak of his glory. At that time, he was unparalleled and could stab with a quick sword. Be famous.

However, he didn't stay on the list for long.

An invasion battle made this high-spirited swordsman look like fireworks in full bloom, brilliant and dazzling, but short-lived.

Amuda swallowed the drink in the glass in one gulp, a firm color flashed in his eyes.

Being on the Sword Hall Ranking is just the starting point for him.

What he really wants to do is to take back the glory that once belonged to his father and the Laurent family!

This is a goal he has set since he was very young!

"You're Amuda Laurent, aren't you?"

At this time, a figure came over.

"Who are you?" After hearing this, Amuda looked towards the visitor. Standing in front of him was a young man wearing foreign clothes, with short black hair and a scar on his face, which seemed to be a sword scar.

From him, Amuda felt a sharp edge like a sword.

He knew at a glance that this person must be a good swordsman.

However, those eyes were extremely cold.

"My name is Hughes Francis. Have you heard of this last name?"

Hughes introduced himself in a calm voice.

"Francis."

Amuda thought for a while, vaguely seeming to have heard this name somewhere, but she really couldn't remember it.

"Can't remember? It doesn't matter."

Hughes calmly took out a white handkerchief from his chest pocket and threw it towards Amuda's face, "According to your Demacia rules, this is considered a challenge, right?"

The handkerchief hit Amuda's face first, and then slowly fell towards the ground.

Looking at the missing handkerchief, Amuda was slightly stunned: "Challenge?"

"Yes, I, Hughes Francis, officially challenge you, Amda Laurent, to a duel!"

Hughes looked directly at Amuda, with an inexplicable hatred flashing in his eyes.

Amuda was a little confused. This Hughes was obviously from the Allies. Why did he initiate a duel against him?

On the side, a friend frowned and said, "We don't even know your identity, so why should we accept your challenge?"

Another person said: "Besides, this is the eldest son of the Laurent family. What qualifications do you have to challenge him?"

"Even if the allies come, they can't act like this, right?"

Several people frowned and looked at Hughes, who always looked calm.

At this time, the movement here also attracted the attention of many people, and the surrounding nobles gathered around one after another.

Among them were Sebastian and Alma, as well as several young people and elders from the Laurent family.

"What's going on over there?"

Kasina, who was chatting with Lu Qi, also noticed the movement over there and looked over curiously.

"Have a look."

Lu Qi walked that way with interest.

At this time, as more and more people were around, they looked at the white handkerchief on the ground and understood the meaning of it.

There was an old man from the Laurent family with a stern look on his face: "Where are you from? You launched a challenge without any explanation."

Another old man next to him also yelled: "Today is National Day, how can we allow you to fool around!"

Except for the members of the Laurent family, most of the other nobles looked like they were watching a show.

Facing so many people, Hughes always looked calm and said: "I am Scagoen, the eldest son of the Francis family, and Joseph Francis is my father. Do you have any impressions of Laurent's people? ?”

Sebastian's expression changed when he heard the surname Francis.

The two old men seemed to have some impressions.

Some nobles in the crowd seemed to have heard this surname before.

Sebastian walked out at this time, looked at Hughes and said: "I remember him, Joseph. Is he okay now?"

"already dead."

Hughes looked at Sebastian, with more hatred in his eyes and a colder voice: "He died in the second month after returning to China."

Sebastian was stunned for a moment: "This"

"I understand you. After all, the name of a weak person is not worth remembering."

Hughes said in a calm voice: "But it doesn't matter. I am standing here today to regain everything my father lost here. When I came to Germany this time, I wanted to challenge you, but"

As he said that, he glanced at Sebastian's legs and moved his gaze to Amuda, "So, I can only take a step back and challenge your son."

Amuda looked at him with a gaze that seemed to take away everything from him.

At this time, someone in the crowd seemed to have thought about it.

"I remembered that the surname is Francis. The envoy who came to Germany fifteen years ago was named Francis."

"That being said, I seem to have some impression."

"I also remembered that duel back then."

Through the voices in the crowd, recalled one after another, the events of that year were gradually filled in.

Because, fifteen years ago, this matter was relatively famous.

It was also the national celebration that year, and the envoy sent by Ska Guoen was named Joseph Francis.

He was a well-known swordsman in Skargoen, and after arriving in the royal capital, he challenged Sebastian, who was in the limelight at the time, to a duel.

Sebastian had no reason to refuse.

So, under the witness of Sebastian's friend, Jarvan III, a duel between him and foreign envoys began.

This duel has a different meaning.

If the number one swordsman in the Sword Hall was defeated by a foreign envoy, it would probably be very embarrassing.

Therefore, Sebastian cannot lose, and he will not lose.

It has to be said that Joseph is indeed a powerful swordsman, but he is still not enough in front of Sebastian at his peak.

It was a wonderful duel that many people recall.

The ending naturally ended with Joseph's failure, but in the process, something went wrong.

The young and energetic Sebastian did not leave any dignity to Joseph. Not only did he fail miserably, but he also verbally humiliated him.

After the duel, Joseph and his team of envoys embarked on their journey back home.

What happened after he returned home is unclear.

"After returning to China, he did not get over his defeat. As a result, Skargoen canceled all his duties. He died in depression the second month after returning to China."

Hughes can still recall the humiliation of his father by the man in front of him. He said coldly: "Now, I want to take back what he lost here. Amuda, do you dare to accept the duel challenge?"

Looking at Hughes with hatred flashing in his eyes.

Sebastian sighed, said nothing, and gave the choice to Amuda.

Back then, after Joseph's defeat, he did humiliate the opponent.

He also didn't expect that the other party would be depressed and eventually die in depression.

He remembered this Hughes, who was still a very young child when he came to Demacia with Joseph.

In fact, there are still hidden secrets about what happened back then.

Joseph did not challenge him out of fame, but a drunken argument led to the duel.

When Joseph was drunk, he spoke rudely to Sebastian's wife, Alma. His words were full of teasing, and he even wanted to take action.

When Sebastian saw this, he was extremely angry and kicked Joseph away, then challenged him to a fair duel.

The drunk Joseph agreed immediately.

But dueling is such a sacred thing, as long as you agree to it, you can't go back on it.

Soon, the next day, under the witness of Jarvan III, the duel began.

The duel attracted many people. Joseph did have some strength, but he was not his opponent.

After winning, Sebastian, who was still angry, directly humiliated the opponent.

This made Joseph lose face, not only in front of many envoys, but also in front of the Demacians.

The next day, he returned home with the envoys.

As the envoy representative of Skagorn, in order to maintain the dignity of the allies, Jarvan III and Sebastian decided to conceal the cause of the matter.

But the humiliation after the duel was witnessed by many people.

Including Joseph's children, Hughes.

In the eyes of the young Hughes at the time, he only saw that his father, whom he admired extremely, failed miserably and was humiliated by his opponents.

His father's dignity fell to the ground and shattered.

After returning to China, he died of depression within two months.

Since then, his childhood has been without a father.

This had a huge psychological impact on him at a young age.

Therefore, the seeds of hatred are also left behind.

From the night his father passed away, he swore in his heart that he would take back everything his father lost.

A Laurentian clan elder said: "Amuda, you don't have to agree to him."

Another clan elder also said: "It is normal to lose in a duel. If something like this happens repeatedly, wouldn't it mean that the original intention of the duel has been lost?"

When the duel was first established, the original intention was to resolve all grievances through a gentlemanly, public, and fair duel.

When the two people stepped onto the ring and finally left the ring, whether one person or two people came down, it meant that the grudge was resolved.

The matter between Joseph and Sebastian was settled as early as the duel that year.

After returning to China, Joseph died in depression, which was his own problem.

There was absolutely no need for Amuda to agree to this duel that would not benefit him at all.

But looking at the persistence in Hughes' eyes, Amuda slowly bent down, picked up the white handkerchief on the ground, looked at the two clan elders and his father and smiled: "This is what I have to experience, isn't it? ?”

After saying that, he looked at Hughes again with a serious expression: "I accept your challenge and allow you to take back your father's glory."

He really had no reason to agree to this duel.

However, he had no reason to refuse.

A powerful swordsman never runs away from a battle.

Defending the honor of the family is what he should do as Laurent's eldest son.

He could feel that the Hughes in front of him was a powerful swordsman.

Then, defeating him is the way to go.

At this time, Jarvan III also came over after hearing the inquiry, and the crowd made way for them.

Hughes looked at him, knelt on one knee on the ground, lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty the King, I implore you to witness this duel just like you did back then."

Jarvan III looked at the white handkerchief that had appeared in Amuda's hand and nodded: "Since he has picked up the handkerchief, it means that the duel contract has taken effect. As you said, I will witness this duel. , I wonder what the opinion of the messenger of Skar Guoen is?"

He looked at the envoy representative of Ska Guoen on the other side.

Hearing this, he coughed: "I'm really sorry, Your Majesty, I didn't know that Hughes would do this without permission when I came here this time."

"It doesn't matter, Demacia allows all fair duels."

Jiawen III said in an easy-going manner.

After hearing this, the messenger said: "Since the duel contract has come into effect, it is up to me to make the decision. We promise to strictly abide by all the regulations of Germany. The challenger, Hughes Francis, is alive and well in this duel. , be it death, it’s all his own business.”

The messenger did not put aside the relationship when he said this.

It was to show Jarvan III's attitude that no matter what Hughes' outcome was in this duel, it would not escalate the issue again.

Jarvan III nodded: "Today is the National Day. Since this is the case, then the duel between you two will be scheduled for two days. Do you have any objections?"

Hughes immediately replied: "No."

Amuda also lowered his head and responded: "No."

In this way, this duel was decided.

The time is two days later.

Many nobles present expressed great interest.

After all, interesting things like this rarely happen.

Several elders of the Laurent family looked helpless when they saw Amuda agreeing.

You know, this duel was witnessed by so many nobles.

This meaning is completely different.

If they win, the Laurent family will not get much benefit.

But if you lose.

When Sebastian saw Amuda agreeing, he said nothing more and gave him an encouraging look.

Alma also believed in her son extremely.

In the crowd, Fiona glanced at Amda and then at Hughes, then withdrew her gaze and turned away.

Lu Qi also withdrew his gaze. After eating the melon, he also found a place to sit down.

At the banquet, the duel between Amuda and Hughes spread more and more.

Basically, every noble has learned about this.

There was also discussion about this.

After the duel was confirmed, Hughes left the banquet.

But Amuda did not leave, sitting among a group of friends.

"In my opinion, this kid is not very powerful."

"Amuda, you can defeat him with just a few moves."

"Indeed, I still trust Amuda's strength."

Several friends smiled and talked relaxedly.

"Let's stop talking about this for today. I have to go back and prepare."

Amuda drank the last sip of the cup, stood up and said goodbye.

Seeing his serious look, several of his friends stopped trying to persuade him to stay.

So, soon, Amuda also left the banquet.

The departure of the two did not reduce the excitement of the duel. The nobles treated the matter as a chat after dinner and were all chatting away.

From what happened back then, to now, and then to the current Laurent family.

Of course, not much was said about the Laurent family.

After all, they were there too.

The Laurent family was once a famous swordsman family, but now, it has to be admitted that they have been in decline.

Since Sebastian's death that year, they have never seen any amazing swordsman appear in this family.

A family that is proud of its swordsmanship has no capital to show for its swordsmanship.

That means that this family is not far from decline.

In order to stop all this, we can see that the Laurent family has been working hard for so many years.

And they are now instilling all their hopes in their eldest son, Amuda.

It can be said that every word, every move he makes represents the future Laurent family.

Therefore, several clan elders were still a little angry that Amuda hastily agreed to this duel today.

But the contract has come into effect, but there is no room for reversal.

They didn't want to put any more pressure on Amuda, so they thought of other ways.
