Let's play cards! In a different world of swords and magic

"Though there have been many people with the title of Royal Knight in the history of the Kingdom of Livolden, without exception, these people have sacrificed their lives to protect the kingdom."

Although the Elf Continent has maintained peace for hundreds of years on the surface, the actions of the dark forces in secret are not as simple as the dark duelists trained by the Slynt family.

A rare card hunter who plunders cards for profit, an antisocial personality who suffers unfair treatment, or a duelist who is bloodthirsty from the beginning.

Where there is light, there is darkness. No matter what era it is, there are always undercurrents beneath the surface peace.

Even the young princess Nova was left with a childhood trauma from duel cards because of the attack by the Dark Duelist.

It is in this context that the history of the Kingdom of Livolden also saw the emergence of several duelists who were strong in dueling, had a strong sense of responsibility, and saved people, cities, and even the country from danger.

The heroes who risked their lives to protect the kingdom without fear of the evil flowing in the dark. The highest evaluation and honor for these heroes is the title of "Royal Duel Knight" awarded by successive kings.

However, to obtain this title, it is not enough to simply stand up and fight against the darkness.

Within the royal family, extremely strict standards for awarding the title of knight, the highest honor, have been passed down from generation to generation.

Since the birth of this highest honorary title, only those duelists who sacrificed their lives to protect the kingdom and died in battle have been posthumously named Royal Knights.

In other words, only after the condition of "sacrificing one's life" was considered, one was qualified to be posthumously awarded the title of Royal Knight.

This is why when old King Caesar said that he would grant Aisha Carlos the title of Royal Knight, the experienced nobles present were so excited.

The nobles who had experienced that era knew the significance of the title of Royal Knight.

At the same time, we also know that a living Royal Knight has surpassed the history of the Kingdom of Livolden and reached a level that has never been seen before and is unprecedented.

But even with such an exaggerated canonization, no one dared to raise any objection.

Ultimately, it is because of the achievements accomplished by Aisha Carlos, which can also be called unprecedented.

In the thick fog barrier, he went to the palace alone and rescued the third princess and the second prince.

In a one-on-one duel, he defeated the super powerful man who was well-known to everyone in the Elf Continent, Imperial Marshal Locke Foslint.

Cooperating with Kemaset, they launched a surprise attack on the Imperial warships, went straight to the heart of the matter, and sniped the Imperial commanding general Cameron Slynt, reversing the situation on the front battlefield.

In the decisive battle between the three phantom demons, in the dark game where the lives of the duelists in the royal capital were at stake, the darkness was broken by the light.

Finally, the prayers of all duelists in the royal capital were gathered, the summoning of Kami was completed, and the flames of the Sun Winged Dragon were used to completely dispel the confusing barrier fog.

Any one of the above-mentioned events would be enough to be passed down by the bards in the streets and alleys, and become a heroic duelist who protected the kingdom.

What if these things were added together and happened to the same person on the same day?

——Royal Duel Knights!

After considering Aisha's incredible achievements, everyone present came to the answer.

The white-haired girl in front of him, who was looking around in the palace hall and seemed to be at a loss, was indeed the most suitable candidate for the title of Royal Knight.

Seeing that Aisha was slow to answer, the old King Caesar asked, "What's wrong, Aisha Carlos? Are you dissatisfied with this title?"

It wasn't that Aisha was dissatisfied with the title, it was just that in her brain, the amount of information about the Royal Knights was equal to 0. Even if King Caesar conferred the title like this, she didn't feel it was real.

The same applies to You Ling.

"What? There is only one title in the reward section? No rare cards?" This is what You Ling thought.

You Ling, who did not understand the meaning of the Royal Knight, guessed that titles, no matter how gorgeous they were, were just empty names.

"Um, there are no rare cards?"

Aisha had no idea how to answer King Caesar, so she simply followed the doubts in her mind and asked out loud.

Alice, with a helpless look on her face, could only lower her head and cover her face in the back, regretting that she doted on her sister too much, overprotected her, and did not instill in her any social etiquette in aristocratic occasions.

"Honorifics, use honorifics, Xiao Ai!" Yi Lin behind him reminded in a low voice.

Although Yilin is usually carefree and lively, the Austin family is very popular, and Yilin has also been to many social occasions such as aristocratic dinners with his brothers. Although it is not easy to handle such occasions, at least he will not mess it up.

"Honorifics? Got it, Rin-chan." Aisha's soft ears twitched slightly. Having accurately received Yilin's hint, she seemed to be more confident. "Your Majesty (honorifics), do you have any rare cards? (With confidence)"

"..." Even old King Caesar was confused by the question.

There was a mysterious silence. Before the old King Caesar spoke, no one seemed to dare to speak. This should have been a historic occasion to confer the title of Royal Knight, but the palace hall seemed extremely awkward.

“Haha, hahahahahaha!”

In the end, it was the old King Caesar's sudden hearty laughter that broke the awkward situation.

King Caesar smiled and stroked his long white beard. He didn't seem to mind Aisha's seemingly 'rude' behavior at all. Instead, he liked it even more.

"It seems that our young royal knights are still unclear about what this title represents. Omar, please explain it to me."

"Yes, father." As the most stable of the three heirs, the eldest prince Omar Caesar was basically accustomed to the task of assisting his elderly father, so it was easy for him to explain on behalf of his father.

After all, as a member of the royal family, he also understood the meaning behind the title of Royal Knight.

"Aishakalos. The family of the person who holds the title of Royal Duel Knight will be granted the status equivalent to that of an earl."

"Count?" Aisha nodded slightly.

Even though she was not good at socializing with the nobility, Aisha still had the most basic knowledge about the title.

The ranks of titles, from high to low, are duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron.

Although the earl is just a middle-class rank, in a country, viscounts and barons make up the majority.

As far as the Kingdom of Lewarden is concerned, the ducal family only includes Set’s family, which is the highest-ranking noble family after the king.

As for the next-level marquis, there are only three families in the entire Kingdom of Lewarden, including the Barrett family that had been killed by Alice before.

Below these four families is the Earl's rank. Judging from the family's status alone, the Earl's family's status in Livoorden is only lower than the four major families. This shows how high its status is.

This is also the reason why Count Omon, who was adjacent to the Carlos family's territory, could do such arrogant things to Alice. Family status is also the biggest reliance in this era.

The Carlos family, which originally belonged to the lowest level of baron, was promoted to a status equivalent to that of earl just because Aisha obtained the title of Royal Duel Knight.

With this wave, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a quick rise to fame and brings honor to the family.

If Aixia's parents who are far away heard this news, they would most likely be so excited that they would faint.

"That's great, Xiao Ai, and Sister Alice! The Carlos family has become a count!"

Even though the Austin family was only a viscount, Yilin was still sincerely moved and happy for his best friend.

From childhood to adulthood, Yilin has witnessed the hardships of the Carlos family.

Because of the declining family status and the lack of duelists in the family, he was in a lower class and was oppressed in various situations.

The current turnaround was not only due to the superb performances of Aisha and You Ling, but also to Alice who never gave up and took on everything from the Carlos family with her body as a young girl.

"Congratulations, Alice."

This was probably the first time Eragon had spoken to Alice in a week.

Even though they couldn't be together in the end because of their different ideas, as childhood sweethearts, Yilong knew all the efforts that Alice had made.

"Alice, are you crying?"

"No, I'm just, so happy."

The tears that flowed down her eyes were tears of joy. Alice had finally waited for this moment.

No matter how hard he tried before, no matter how hard he tried, even if he fell into darkness, he could only barely maintain the Carlos Family and prevent it from being devoured by other greedy nobles in the surrounding territories.

After all, the power of darkness is not a force that can be put on the table.

What the Carlos family needs is the glory brought by Aisha Yuna Carlos, the true duelist who carries the last hope.

Omar Caesar continued, "In addition, the holder of the Royal Knight title is both the sword and shield of the country. In order to allow the Royal Duel Knight to maximize his dueling ability, the royal family will provide dueling convenience to the holder of the Royal Knight title as much as possible."

At this point, even Omar Caesar couldn't help but raise a smile.

"Haha, this is probably what you are most concerned about, Aisha Carlos, the issue of rare cards."

It was also the first time that Omar met such an interesting person.

He was clearly the duelist who saved the country, and clearly the hero who was given the title of Royal Dueling Knight, and clearly could have used this to demand more wealth, status, and even power.

However, this girl just put on a nonchalant expression and asked twice if she could get any rare cards.

"Providing convenience in duels, does that mean!" Aisha, who felt even more excited than when he obtained the status of earl, confirmed.

"That's right. Royal Knights can freely use the tradable rare cards stored in the Royal Card Library. As long as you want, no one can stop you."

"(°Д°)Use as you wish!o(?Д?)っIn the royal card library!ノ)?Д?(Rare card)!"

Of course, Aixia was the first to share this good news with You Ling in the Millennium Brick Room.

"It's flying, Mr. You Ling! You don't have to worry about spell points anymore. You're the master now!"

"Are we finally through this, Aisha?"

Lian You Ling was surprised at the benefits brought by the title of Royal Knight. He could trade rare cards and use them at will, and it was a card library exclusively for the royal family.

I can finally say goodbye to those D-level spell cards that I used to make up the numbers.

In the future, you don't need to invest a large amount of credits and spell points earned in the Talisman Academy in general cards. Instead, you can specifically choose some unique branches unlocked in the "Spell Catalog" that are not available in the royal card library to refine.

For example, the Poker Knight-exclusive support cards that You Ling had been longing for, including the A-level quick-attack magic spell [Speedy Summoning] that Pharaoh had used to summon Kami. Now that he had [Winged Dragon of the Sun God], he could consider refining it.

The old King Caesar still kept smiling and stroked his beard: "I am very happy to see that you are satisfied, young Royal Knight."

Although the Royal Duel Knights have always had this right, no one has ever actually fulfilled the fact that the Royal Knights can use rare cards in the royal card library at will.

After all, people who have already sacrificed themselves cannot use cards.

Aisha Carlos is the first Royal Knight in history to exercise this right. Those who become Royal Knights while alive are living legends.

The reason why old King Caesar could acquiesce to such a large investment was that he saw unlimited possibilities for the country's future in the young royal knights.

And old King Caesar wants to entrust Aisha with something.

"While enjoying your rights, I hope that Aisha Carlos, you can also fulfill your duty as the guardian of the Royal Knights."

"The obligation to protect the profession?"

"You may say it is an obligation, but I cannot deny that I have more selfish motives. I hope that you can protect the safety of the Third Princess Nova in the academy in the name of the Royal Knight in the future."

Chapter 247: The princess’ personal master?

Inside the hall, the sound of people talking arose again.

"Protect the Third Princess' safety at Fu Sheng Academy?"

"Does that mean that the Third Princess is no longer opposed to dueling?"

Although not as shocking as being awarded the title of Royal Duel Knight, the fact that the little princess was going to attend Fusheng Academy still surprised many people.

Everyone knew that the little princess Nova hated duels. Even old King Caesar couldn't do anything about this willful daughter. After all, he loved his daughter more than anyone else, so he just let her do what she wanted.

However, this little princess actually changed her mindset after the Royal Capital War and was willing to go to Fusheng Academy for systematic training on dueling.

This means that all three heirs to the royal family have duel talents. For those nobles who are loyal to the country and the king, the prosperity of the Caesar family is undoubtedly a happy thing.

"What a joy and congratulation!"

"God bless me, Livolden. I hope the prosperity of the kingdom will continue forever."

"But?" Aisha, who was awarded the title of Royal Knight, scratched her head in confusion: "Isn't Her Highness Nova only 12 years old? She's not even old enough to go to school yet."

The minimum admission age to Fu Sheng Academy, if Aixia remembered correctly, was 15 years old.

As the last duelist in Carlos, he had to wait until he was 15 years old before he was admitted to school. Of course, being expelled from school half a year after entering school was an accident.

"Don't worry about your age, young Royal Knight. I have already informed the Vice-President of the Academy."

"Vice Principal Leiden?"

At this moment, Aisha had already imagined Vice Principal Leiden happily counting money on the desk in his office.

"Leiden: "As long as the money is in place, everything is fine, everything is fine~""

"(￣ー￣) It certainly sounds like something the principal would do."

The reason why King Caesar planned to let the little princess go to school so early was also because of Nova's own request.

If I couldn't go to school with Aisha, I would never go to Duel Academy.

These are the little princess’s original words.

Old King Caesar narrowed his eyes slightly.

Having a daughter in old age is one thing that makes you pamper her the most.
