Her sharp sword cut a marble table like a pie.

  “I get that you have defeated the Blood Ruler. But intelligence sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. Unlike a stable level.”


  “Even your level can be defeated by flexible plans.”


  “Hmph. Enough talking. I challenge you to a duel.”


  “A duel.”


  “If you are really a man who will become an Arc Master, beat me.”


  Eustasia pursed her lips and positioned her hand above her chest to provoke Sungjin.

  “A duel can be fun. What’s in it for me, though?”


  Sungjin’s eyes became sharp.

  “If you lose, you’ll be mine.”


  When Ereka heard that, she shouted with surprise.

  “What…… what are you talking about?”


  She would make Sungjin…… her man?

  “As I told you before, become a ruler’s hand behind the scenes and be my right-hand man. I think you can be useful for our defense.”


  Eustasia scanned Sungjin’s body like a wine connoisseur who found a valuable bottle of exquisite wine. Sungjin also looked at her with the eyes of a conqueror who had found a precious jewel.

  Ereka felt the spark between them and held Sungjin’s arm to stop it.

  “Sungjin. You don’t have to accept this. A duel. Your specialty is to command your army in a battle. Don’t react to her provocation.”


  “Thank you for your concern. But it’s okay.”


  Sungjin smiled and thought that this sounded fun. He looked like a lion that was watching and waiting to attack a deer.

  “What if I win? Will you be mine?”


  “I’ve already made an oath to my king. But you still need a reward. Okay. What about my virginity?”
