Rogue Prince – Chapter 268

“Hmph… finally, the throne room.”

After entrusting Barth to Cardis and the others, we finally reached the passage leading to the throne room.
Fortunately, no one bothered us after parting ways with Cardis and the others, but there’s no telling what kind of opponent awaits us at the end. I need to stay focused.

“Lord Hal, this is finally the end. If we defeat King Aival, we can be together without anyone interfering.”
“That’s right. It’s Monica’s sole duty to interfere with you two.”
“Monica!?”
“Ahaha!”

I couldn’t help but laugh at the two of them, who were the same as ever until the very end.
They don’t have an ounce of tension, but that’s just like us.

“Hal-san, please treat me to some Meat when this is over, okay?”
“After that, you’re going to have to come with me while I pick up girls!”

Even Liliana and Lloyd said such things in a lighthearted tone.
It’s much better than getting unnecessarily worked up in front of the king, but the ‘Galhaza’ characters are quite brazen.

“…Master, there is one life sign in the throne room. It is likely King Aival.”
“I see. Caz.”
“Yeah!”

Following Lyra’s advice, I held up the Jet-Black Shield Caspary, placed my hand on the door to the throne room, and flung it open.

“How dare you, an Incompetent Rascal Prince, defy me!”

Waiting for us was King Aival, sitting alone on the throne.
However, many weapons were stuck into the floor in front of him.

I see… Wilfred had a large number of UR weapons, so it’s only natural that King Aival would have the same.
Wilfred couldn’t handle the weapons and wasn’t much of a threat, but there’s no guarantee that this man is the same. I need to stay focused.

“Father… no, Aival Wel Dehвальз. The will of the people is no longer with you. I ask that you accept this fact and step down from the throne.”
“What nonsense is this upstart spouting, trying to usurp my throne! Someone like you should pay with death… no, that’s not enough. You will atone with the lives of everyone involved with you!”

So shouting, King Aival stood up.
In his hand was the Heroic Greatsword Caladbolg.

“This weapon was originally my beloved sword. Wilfred, the fool, couldn’t handle it, but for me, cutting you down would be a piece of cake…”

The moment King Aival raised the corner of his mouth and gave a ferocious smile.

“Yo.”
“…Yuri, isn’t this a little too inconsiderate of the situation?”

Everyone in the throne room disappeared, leaving only Yuri and me.
We’re about to have the final battle, but is this really okay…? Wait, what!?

“Eh? Eh? Everyone disappeared!?”
“Caz!?”

To my surprise, only Caz was in the space created by Yuri.
Could it be because she was transformed into the Jet-Black Shield Caspary…?

“Aha♪ I asked Caz-kun to come along this time. To watch the upcoming battle between Aival-kun and Sandra-san and the others together.”
“Eh…?”

Sandra and the others fighting King Aival?

“Here.”
“What!?”

Suddenly, an image was projected in front of us, showing Sandra and the others confronting King Aival.

The next moment.

“Where did you take Lord Hal!”
“Kukuku… who knows? But if you defeat me, he might come back, you know?”
“Then, let’s get rid of you right now.”
“That’s impossible for you.”
“What!?”

Monica tried to stab him with a Dagger Knife from behind, but it was blocked by the armor that King Aival was wearing under his clothes.
That’s… the Golden Armor Kavacha, a UR weapon?

“But that armor is supposed to be cursed so that it can’t be removed once it’s equipped. But…”
“Hal-kun knows a lot. But Aival-kun is wearing it knowing the curse. In other words, that’s what it means.”

I see, so you want to win against us that badly.
…No, you figured you couldn’t win against us unless you went that far.

“How naive. The Golden Armor Kavacha certainly has high physical and magical defense, but compared to the Shield series, it doesn’t have any evasion performance, so it’s not that easy to use.”
“Can you still say that after seeing that?”
“Wh-!?”

King Aival easily blocked Sandra’s Balmung.
With the Fortress Greatshield Aias, another UR weapon.

“Do you understand? Unlike Wilfred-kun, Aival-kun can freely handle any weapon. Thanks to his ability, Weapon Master.”
“Weapon Master!?”

I never imagined that King Aival would have such a skill.
As expected, the official strategy site doesn’t have detailed information about King Aival’s abilities, since he’s never involved in combat in EnHaza…

“I’ll tell you, since you don’t know, but Aival-kun’s ability is close to the strongest among the people in this world. No matter how strong Sandra-san is, I don’t think she can defeat him. So, you know?”

Yuri, who came to my side, tapped my shoulder.

“Just give up on everything, abandon Sandra-san too, and let’s be together in this world.”
