The sharp sound of metal colliding echoed in the woods. Heinz, who was swinging at Ye Kai with a sharp sword, was soaked in sweat.

Even though the real and fake attacks were intertwined, the full-strength attack was blocked, and the sword light that was taken with determination easily cut through the air. Ye Kai sometimes cleverly used strange movements to tease Heinz.

“Wait, wait a minute…”

"Forget it? I think recalling today's movements and practicing imagination will be more helpful for the next practice, and both sides will gain something."

Ye Kai said as he handed a handkerchief to Heinz who was completely out of breath.

During the audience, Heinz received the news that he was promoted to senior knight, which was granted by the king himself. He was so moved that he trembled, and after receiving the medal and the unexpectedly generous bonus, he stood there solemnly, as if he had ascended to heaven.

When Heinz saw Ye Kai, who was summoned next, being awarded the title of Honorary Knight of the Kingdom and the title of Baron, he did not feel jealous at all, but was very excited instead.

However, I complained: "I have already expressed my intention to refuse through the Marquis."

"Don't say that, Ye Kai. If you don't accept it, the rewards for others will be reconsidered. Rewards and punishments are clear in our tradition. Do you want to offend me for this?"

“I didn’t expect the award to be used as a threat. Do I lack common sense?”

Although it contained a strong hint of irony, by this time, Albert had gotten used to it.

"That's just a formality. I don't intend to ask you to fulfill any obligations. But it wouldn't hurt to show a little concern, right?"

“Should I keep all the meat in the kitchen?”

"Well, how about I give you the title of Minister of Meat?"

"...I understand. I give up. You can do whatever you want." The king was in a good mood and smiled as if he was very proud.

It is no wonder that he was in such a good mood. The prisoners captured in this war had become a huge fortune.

The treasury was now full of wealth. Although the number of casualties in the battle was high, it was surprisingly low relative to the scale of the battle.

There weren't enough seriously injured people to warrant pensions, so the loss of manpower was not a cause for concern. Therefore, even if you weren't the king, you would be happy.

In short, Heinz, who was promoted to a senior knight, obtained a free pass to the city gate, which made training with Ye Kai much easier.

----------------

On their free days, they would go out of the city gate with Ye Kai to hunt monsters in the outer city to test the results of their training.

Walking in the city, people kept shouting at the stalls around, and the scene of being sold all kinds of food was a bit confusing.

“Oh, are you Ye Kai’s friend? Then take this with you.”

"Ah, thank you."

Heinz was also wearing light clothing, so they did not think he was a knight.

"Thank you. Let's hunt hard today."

“Don’t worry too much. Ye Kai always leaves a lot of meat, so we should be able to handle it here.”

"Well, since it won't cause any trouble, you're welcome."

The people at the foot of the city saw Ye Kai off with a smile.

“Hey, do you know these people don’t even know who you are?”

“Yes, but my identity doesn’t matter to them, right?”

"Even so, you..."

“It’s okay. Let’s go.”

They wandered in the forest, hunting down the monsters that attacked them. However, they ignored the monsters that noticed them.

When asked why, they said, "We have no need to hunt other creatures except harmful animals."

Anyway, people usually think that hunting monsters to earn money and level up is the behavior of adventurers, but he doesn't do that. Heinz's new friend seems to be a little different from other adventurers.

Afterwards, Heinz had to be dragged into the palace to attend activities such as the Crown Prince and Eleanor's tea party, and his friendship with Ye Kai became even deeper.

————————————————————

Holmt was decorated with flowers. Citizens put down their work and gathered to drink from morning till night. This was natural. Because today was the wedding day of Crown Prince Crane and Eleanor, everyone was celebrating happily.

For this day only, the city gates were opened to the public, so the guards and knights were mobilized to guard the palace. The palace was also busy preparing, and some maids even ran around in a somewhat inappropriate manner.

A huge platform was placed in the square in front of the palace, ready for the couple who had just completed the wedding ceremony to greet the citizens. The citizens crowded in front of the platform early, waiting impatiently.

In the lounge before the wedding ceremony, Eleanor looked a little tired despite being dressed beautifully. Nervousness and lack of sleep were also one of the reasons. Therefore, she did not notice the problem at first.

“…Are you okay?”

"Ah...! Well, Ye Kai, it's okay." Eleanor pretended to be calm when she noticed Ye Kai standing aside.

"Sister is so beautiful. Sister is really a beauty, right?"

"What's wrong, Ye Kai? Does my marriage make you lonely? Are you reluctant to let me go to the palace?"

In response to Ye Kai's question with a somewhat strange expression, Eleanor asked with a hint of mischief.

"Yeah, a little. I'm a little jealous of His Highness Klein. My sister will make a good daughter-in-law."

"Of course. It is my duty as a subject to make His Highness happy. I will try my best."

"Oh, yes."

Ye Kai nodded with satisfaction and smiled. Eleanor also smiled. The people around were very pleased to see that the two of them were like real siblings.

"Sister is fine now, right?"

Eleanor didn't understand the question at first, but then realized that he was also worried about her happiness, so she replied, "It's okay. I believe that His Highness Klein will make me happy."

"His Highness Klein will definitely make you happy."

“Well, thank you, Ye Kai.”

------------------

In the afternoon, the newlyweds appeared on the stage in the square in front of the palace, and people gave them their blessings enthusiastically.

"Congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Miss Eleanor, you are so beautiful..."

“Holmt’s future is full of hope!”

"Your Highness, Congratulations!"

Klein raised his hands to express his gratitude to the people. The people became even more enthusiastic, cheering non-stop, and they noticed Ye Kai standing a little further away.

Eleanor waved, and Ye Kai responded. Klein nodded, signaling Eleanor to rest assured. Ye Kai smiled brightly, then turned around and left quietly.

Eleanor realized she was crying.

(Hey, why am I crying? I’m so happy.)

Eleanor did not realize the reason for her tears at the time.

Afterwards, no one saw the Magic Boxer again.
