Volume 9 Chapter 32: I Challenge You To A Duel!
Keith took a deep sigh as he looked at what he designed. These are not going to work. Even when he returned home, he started to draw a design for the chocolate store. However, nothing was working for him. As he continued to frown at his work,
“Young Master, can I come in?”
“Come in.” Entering his room, Keith asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Umm, can I talk about you with something?”
“Is it about the letter?”
“Yes,” May nodded. Keith placed his hand in the air, “For starters, let me apologize.”
“Eh?”
“The way I acted today is a little inappropriate.”
“It’s not. But the thought of someone courting you just made me angry,” Keith’s lips arched downward as he said this. His heart beat much faster when he thought about May with another guy. When he thought about it for too long,
Snap!
“My bad,” Keith looked down at the crushed pen. Thankfully, he had a few more pens in his drawers.
“...”
“Can you explain to me what’s going on?” From how the girl reacted, the girl didn’t want to do so at all.
“When I was going to the opening of a general store in Viscount Coledwell’s territory, I met with the Viscount’s son. And he quickly bowed his head down to me and asked me to be his muse,” It was quite a surprise for her as she had never seen someone do something like that.
“... Don’t tell me he did so in public?” A thought came to his mind when he asked. If he could say something so cheesy, did he do so in public?
“...Yes,” May sighed.
“...” Keith’s expression contorted. There was no way she could say anything to him, not unless she wanted to anger the Viscount.
“I said that I couldn’t do anything about it,” That was why she gave him no answer. That was the best path to go about.
“I see,” Keith sighed before he patted the girl’s head, “You did good. You don’t have to worry about anything. With me here, I won’t let anything happen to you.”
“Young master.”
“Don’t worry about a thing.”
“…Thank you,” May grinned as she hugged him. What she didn’t know was that two people were staring at this situation.
...
“Hah!” Keith roared as he swung his halberd down. Eric flinched as he backed away. That was when Keith went forward, using the top to pierce him! It was a ferocious attack with so much force. It sent that man flying into the wall.
Keith grinned, “You lose, Big Brother.”
“Hah, indeed I did.” Eric waved his hand, “Is that thing made for you or something?”
“Even I’m surprised by how well I’m using it this easily,” Keith had been swinging the halberd around, and it felt like another limb. There was no loss in his thought process. This shield as well: He had found his go-to weapons.
“Big brother is cool!” Leon and Laura cheered.
“Thanks,” Keith rubbed his nose.
“Michael, how about a round against me?” Keith raised his halberd at the commander. That only caused Michael to grin, “What? Do you want to take another loss?”
“Who knows,” Keith dashed at the man with his halberd raised! And that was when the two collided.
“I can’t believe he trains like this all the time?” Krystal was amazed by how fast the two moved. This was more so with Keith since he had sparred with not only Eric but with her and Derek as well. His stamina was inhuman.
“Well, Michael was always the hardest one with Keith,” Derek muttered. Michael tended to hold back just enough not to kill the boy. But that was still a lot!
“Those two are just plain monsters,” Carolyn groaned as she looked at the swollen bump on her head. That came from Keith smacking her in the head.
“Indeed,” Krystal had the same red bump as well.
“Well, Keith had always been well-rounded with every weapon he used, so for him to use it like so is surprising.” The halberd was on a different level.
“As expected.” As they continued to talk with one another,
“What’s going on over there?” Keith heard a lot of voices coming from the gates.
“Don’t zone out,” Michael came down with his blade, but his body stepped to the side.
“Take a break for a second. I hear shouting.” And it was the same for the others as they headed over only to find someone with a bouquet of flowers.
“I have come to my Muse!” The person who was at the gates was a blond gentleman. He was quite a fashionable person. William and the others were there. May was in front of them with an indescribable expression.
“…Ugh, Francis, didn’t I say you shouldn’t be doing things like this?”
“I’m sorry. But I found these flowers, and I thought it would look like art before you,” Francis brought them before her.
“Please become my muse!”
“Sorry, but she can’t be your muse,” Keith’s voice cut through everything as he pulled May over to his side, “She’s mine, and you’re not getting here.”
“…” William and the other’s eyes widened. Keith?! That was so damn straightforward! Even May was thrown for a loop by this.
She’s mine. Hearing the words was enough to cause her cheeks to turn red.
Sophia, Violet, and Thalia were quite interested in what would go down right now. Francis glared before he stated, “I challenge you to a duel then! I won’t give up on my Muse.”
