The Strongest Dull Prince’s Secret Battle for the Throne

Chapter 262: My Knight

I never thought that you would be back so soon.

William, who appeared in front of Leo with his dragon, said his honest thought.

Even though their plan completely collapsed, his face was unclouded.

Prince William. No offense, but immediately surrender to us.

So you think that youve already won huhMy Dragon Knights are still alive! If we can take the Rainbow Celestial Jewels Prince Arnold has, we can deploy the Celestial Sphere again! The battle is not over yet! No matter how great a hero she is, she can not use the holy sword twice!!

While you are fighting us, my father has already evacuated to the safe zone. You have no chance of victory.

That might be the case! But if we can secure the Imperial Capital, we can continue the fight with the help from my homeland! The winner is the one who remains standing in the end! For the glory of my country.I will cut you down!!

Saying so, William charges at Leo.

As long we are behind him, Leo can not fight midair at full speed.

However, a white griffon broke in between Leo and William.

I wont let you!

Saint Leticia.!

William immediately took a distance to evade her.

Leticia floats in front of us as if trying to shield Leo and hold up her staff.

I am happy that you are safe. Saint Leticia.

I never thought that you would be the one who would congratulate my safety, Prince William.

Yes, that is understandable. My country also played a part in your capture. Everyone from my country should have wished for your death but..to me that would be like admitting our defeat. We, the United Kingdom couldnt defeat you and has to resort to a dirty plan to make you disappear. However, if you die, we will never get a chance to prove one thing. The fact that my Dragon Knights are superior to your Griffon Knights. Whats done is done. I convinced myself that if the plan was successful, it would make everyone respect the Dragon Knights but I am truly glad that you appear before me now.

If you think so then you should surrender and correct your mistake now. There is nothing to justify this rebellion. By getting involved, you will only defame the United Kingdom.

I have brought up such an argument countless times already. However, what my United Kingdom desires more than honor is land. As a member of its royal family, I must enact the will of my nation. This was all because we couldnt take you down sooner than this. It was due to my weakness.

Saying so, William readied his spear.

Surely, he is planning to come at us with an all-out attack.

Looking around, I can see the Griffon Knights rushing toward us. Although their number is inferior to the Dragon Knights, the Griffon is by far stronger than Flying Dragon. The only thing Flying Dragons have over the Griffons are its ease of breeding and training.

Well, one could say that Flying Dragon would be much more superior for military use for that reason alone. Still, they have no choice but to compensate for their inferiority with numbers.

However, with only this much difference in number, the Griffon Knights can reverse this situation.

The only thing that is concerning me is Leticias condition. No matter how I look at her, she is exhausted.

After being kidnapped, and taking a forced march back here, that might be inevitable.

Leotake the two to a safe place. We will buy time for you.

Leticia..

Leo looks anxiously at Leticia.

I smiled at their exchange.

I dont need an escort. I and Christa will make our way to Fathers place ourselves.

Eh?

Leo, go protect Leticia. The Dragon Prince might be too much for her right now.

Please do not underestimate me. I will be fine alone. Dont worry.

I cant allow that. You are now my important (Little) sister-in-law after all.

Wha!? I am older you know!!

Unfortunately, I am Leos elder brother you see.

After I said that, I stood up on top of the griffon.

Leticias face turned bright red and tried to appeal that she was older but I politely ignored her.

Then.

Leo, you protect Leticia. If you already told her that you would protect her then see it through to the end. A mans words can not be uttered so lightly you know.

Nii-san

Dont worry. I have my knight to protect me.

Saying so, I jumped off Leos Griffon together with Christa.

It is not as high as before but if we fall, we will almost certainly die.

Three Dragon Knights descended down to attack us.

However.

I leave this to you-Elna.

The Dragon Knights who were approaching us were instantly blown away and crashed into the castle.

Then wind magic wrapped around me and Christa, allowing us to slow down and safely land on the ground.

Its not as fun as last time.its not high enough.

HaHaHa!! Then how about we try a place that is slightly higher next time.

Saying so, I patted Christas head.

Then, I heard the sound of someone landing behind me.

I can tell the identity of that person with that alone.

Good work, Sir Elna.

Please forgive us for our tardiness, Your Highness. The Third Corp of the Imperial Knight Order has arrived.

The moment Elna said that.

Elnas subordinates landed around me one after another.

Every one of them seems ready to do this. How reliable.

When I was thinking so, Gordon uses the voice amplifier again to give a command to his soldiers.

To all the soldiers inside the Imperial Capital! Capture the 7th Prince Arnold! I dont care if hes dead or alive! Take the 3 Rainbow Celestial Jewels he has with him and deliver them to me! Any reward will be given to those who can accomplish this! Catch that Dull Prince!!

Ohh, scary, scary. Hes quite pissed huh.

Its okay..we will protect Al.

Yeah, Im counting on you.

While I was talking to Elna, the soldiers came out from the castle one after another.

So they mobilized every soldier they can now huh.

They went quite far just to capture me alone huh.

There are quite a lot of them huh. I dont think I can count them with my fingers alone.

Theres no use counting their number now. If you are tired, its okay to just take a nap you know? Marc.

Please dont make such a joke. If anyone takes a nap here they will be trampled, Captain.

Said Marc as he shrugged at Elna.

When I smiled at their conversation, Marc pulled out his sword.

I wonder how many times its been that I have saved you like this, Your Highness?

Who knows. I lost count already.

Then please start counting again from now on.

Impossible. I dont have enough fingers to count that after all.

After I used his words against him, Marc let out a small sigh.

You truly are a troublesome person, Your Highness.

Just give up. Al is always like this after all.

Saying so, Elna slowly raised her sword up.

Then she uses magic and lets her voice echo through the Imperial Capital.

Knights and Soldiers of the Imperial Capital. This is Elna von Amsberg. You have done well protecting the Imperial Capital. I salute the sweat and blood you have shed for this nation. Even so, I cant allow you to rest yet. If you still have the pride in the sword that you pledged to His Majesty the Emperor, if you still honor the military uniform that you are wearingthen stand with me! Escort the princes and princesses to His Majestys side! Be proud! This is the moment that will test you, the protectors of the Empire!! If you think that it is too painful and you want to give up, RememberThe Amsbergs is there for all those who stand with the Empire!!!

A sword.

The words of courage that inspire the exhausted Knights and Soldiers.

The magic words that make you think you can accomplish anything.

The next moment, cheers rose from all over the capital.

The Amsberg house is having their back. It is the news that tells all the people of the Empire everything will be okay.

Run, Al. everyone will protect you now.

Yeah, thanks. You should be careful too, you know? You are tired after using the holy sword right?

Dont be stupid. My condition is perfect. If its now, I dont feel like losing to anyone. So go. You dont have to worry about this place. I will not let even a single soldier get past us.

Saying so, Elna attacks the soldiers who came out of the castle.

The soldiers that collided with her head-on are being blown away.

She really is in perfect condition huh.

Elna so strong! it will be fine!

Right. Then lets do as she says, shall we. Can you run? Christa.

Yes..!

Hearing Christas reply, I hold Christas hand and start running.

Thus, I and Christa started making our way through the Imperial Capital.
