Chapter 241
There was a reason why Luke chose to fight Gregory, despite Reina’s warning .
He had two enemies that he had to deal with .
The Lich, Arsene, an enemy of the past, and Emperor Rudolf of the Baroque Empire, the descendant of the other enemy .
Among them, Rudolf was a known Sword Sage .
So, he decided to use his head and calculate the amount he had to grow .
But before he could even see what was happening, things had escalated fast .
So, he thought he could test against the best knight of another continent, the Sword Sage .
“Is it fine to say I was testing you? Huh, just as I said, I act very loyal when it comes to a test . ”
At the words of Luke, Gregory frowned not being able to understand .
“Then, shouldn’t one be more obsessed with winning? If you would have taken the initiative of my sword, you would understand what I thought . ” Responded Gregory .
“Of course, I understand your emotions . But I have no intention of complying with your feelings . You just want to cut me off, don’t you?”
Gregory decided to not say anything .
The silence was the answer, not negative .
He did want to get rid of Luke, who had downgraded the Pope, who was sent by the Great Lord into just another woman in love .
“I too have a lot of experience, so I know how to see inside the people . Especially for those who are like you, who obey God’s will… those emotions are clearly reflected in your expression and eyes . ” Stated Luke .
“What are you talking about?”
“Didn’t I tell you? I am very faithful when it comes to tests . Of course, the subject of the test wasn’t me, it was you . ”
Luke shrugged and answered .
“Which is why I don’t think that I have to win against you . ”
“Why so?” Gregory asked .
“I don’t think of you as an enemy . ”
Even though it was a troublesome situation, Luke hadn’t thought of Arch Duke Gregory as an opponent he had to win over .
If he did, Luke would have managed to use all his abilities to get rid of him .
His goal was to indirectly assess Rudolf’s abilities through Arch Duke Gregory .
Therefore, it wasn’t necessary to make any extreme decisions like using his dark magic or demon abilities .
In addition, the actions of the Arch Duke when he took down the assassin a while back, or the words and the way he acts in front of Reina proved that he was very loyal to her .
“I know what bothers you so much . Reina, no, the Holy Pope’s abilities, you think they will be flawed by me, right?” Asked Luke .
“…”
“I know that heart . However, that is up to one’s heart to decide, don’t you think you are too greedy to think otherwise?”
“What did you just say?”
Gregory’s eyebrows went up .
Listening to him wasn’t great, however, Luke kept on talking .
“I heard about the descent of the Pope and came into the nation . I don’t how the Arch Dukes and Bishops would accept it, but she is someone I know very well . ”
“A princess of another nation?” Gregory asked .
‘So you knew . Then why act like you weren’t aware?’
Whether Luke confirmed or not, Gregory had expressed himself .
“Whatever her past was, she is the Apostle sent by the Lord, the chosen one for us . ”
“No, it isn’t like that . It was only by chance that Reina had appeared before you in the process of returning back from the Spirit World which she entered . ”
“For you, it was just a coincidence . But it is a bond and destiny given to us by the Lord . ”
‘These words make no sense . ’
Gregory’s stubbornness annoyed Luke .
But he tried to put on a smile after a thought .
“Just as the Arch Duke has said, then the way I met Reina now, is a bond and destiny . ”
“Yeah, that is true . ”
‘What, what did he say?’
Luke lost his speech for a moment when the man nodded his head and agreed .
If he would have disagreed with Luke’s statement, Luke was planning on contemplating the stubbornness and make him give away .
But he just convincingly accepted!
‘Is he much thoughtful than I thought?’ Thought Luke to himself .
“Today’s meeting is a clear opportunity that the Lord has presented me to try and kill you if I can, that I am assured of . ” Gregory said .
‘I was wrong . This person isn’t someone I can persuade or argue with . ’
Luke who was thinking positively about the person, shook his head at the man’s next words .
The Arch Duke Gregory was a person who saw and judged everything within the framework of destiny and loyalty .
Like a wizard who questions the world, all went to solve questions logically and systematically .
‘Yeah, I see how this man became a Sword Sage . ’
To reach the level of Sword Sage, the man had blindly devoted himself to the goal he believed and desired than to think deeply and question the basis .
The same was true for the Rakan warrior, the former warrior .
‘The men who support the gods…’
It was problematic, but Luke didn’t have time to get annoyed or frustrated .
There was one thing that he knew without a doubt . The opponent couldn’t be dealt with by words, and only force had to be used .
