“Contrary to your reputation, you don’t seem that talented.” The Golden Knight, Kayne, glanced at James with obvious disappointment.
He shook his head and smirked. “I thought the Dragon King of Sol would have a more commanding presence, but you don’t look particularly impressive. There’s a word for guys like you in Sol, right? What was it? Oh, right. I think it was… pretty boy?”
James simply smiled indifferently.
He was not infuriated.
Seeing Kayn provoking James, the Queen did nothing to stop him. Instead, she cast Kayn a meaningful gaze.
Kayn immediately understood her intentions.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, he unsheathed the long golden sword hung around his waist and pointed it at James.
James said calmly, “What’s the meaning of this? Is this the way Durandal treats its guests? If so, I’ll return to Sol immediately.”
“Durandal is a nation that treasures strength above all. We welcome guests with a duel. If you’re strong, you’ll be given due respect. If you’re weak, then you should turn back. Durandal does not welcome weaklings.”
Kayn’s arrogance made Henry grit his teeth. He would have taken action if not for the formalities being upheld.
The nobles of Durandal continued watching as if it were a play in a theatre.
Everyone was familiar with Kayn.
He was a Golden Knight from the Keyes family. His family held great power in the country, and he himself was a strong knight.
Everyone was curious if the Dragon King from Sol really lived up to the rumors about him.
James looked at the Queen.
Seeing that the Queen did not interfere, James smiled and said, “Your Majesty, it’ll be inappropriate for me to fight him. This duel would end up being one-sided. Do you have anyone stronger in Durandal?”
At that moment, James was unwilling to appear weak.
His casual joke caused an uproar among the people present.
The Queen’s brows were drawn together.
The Dragon King from Sol was overstepping his bounds.
“Brat, you must have a death wish.”
Kayn was furious when he heard James’ remark.
He was made a Golden Knight at the age of 25, which was already an impressive achievement.
No one dared to look down on him.
