I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 545 Preparation



“Is it because of the deceased second and third princess?” asked Angus.

“Yes. You should rest now. We don’t know when this trouble will come to us.” replied Aunt Extalia as she returned inside.

After Aunt Extalia walked away, “*Sigh*… So troublesome. Can’t she just calm King Leon or something?” grumbled Angus before walking inside with Jayna and Anna.

“Hmm… Did you think Aunt Extalia can’t do that?” asked Jayna from his side.

“Huh?” asked Angus back before realizing Jayna’s intention.

“Aunt could easily stop Father if he somehow did a reckless movement because of us. But I doubt she will do it. Aunt is his love and support, not the controller or owner.” explained Jayna.

“Hm.. Make sense. I guess you are right. Alright, let’s go back now. I miss my warm pillow, ” said Angus, getting closer to Jayna while holding the sleeping Anna.

Noticing Angus’ intention, “A-Angus, N-Not here.” said Jayna while blushing.

The next day, everyone wakes up early and goes to the embassy’s training area. Unlike yesterday, Angus is accompanied by some people and knights from the embassy. From the head ambassador Phineas to the best knights in the embassy.

“Morning, everyone. My name is Baron Angus Victory. Let’s get this short. Some of you may have felt quite restless these past few days, which is a sign of a bad omen. Normally, we should just get away or escape from this place or kingdom.” explained Angus.

“Unfortunately, we are stuck in this place for the next few days. Since we can’t get away, Duchess Amberblaze and I have decided to prepare for the worst. So, starting today, my dear Aunt appointed me as your trainer, which is troublesome.” added Angus.

Ignoring Aunt Extalia’s sharp glare and giggles from Jayna, “I know some of you may have doubts. But, don’t worry, I have little experience training one of our kingdom squad and Royal Guards” said Angus with a sadistic smile.

Angus’ demeanor completely changes and no longer has his usual playful nature. Everyone feels like they are in front of the hell’s sergeant.

“Head Ambassador Phineas, come here.” called Angus sternly.

“What can I help you, Baron Victory?” replied Phineas with his usual business smile.

Angus frowned a little bit at his unusual smile but decided to ignore it for now.

“Who is your strongest knight?” asked Angus.

“Hmm… We have Hervi, Susane, Amel, and Jennet.” replied Phineas with the same business smile.

“Head Ambassador.” called Angus again.

“Yes?” replied Phineas.

“Aren’t I asking the strongest, not the list of your knights.” said Angus in a cold tone as the temperature in the area became hotter.

Every high-grade combatant in the area could notice a terrifying fire mana coming from Angus.

‘Such fine control and strong fire elemental. It seems the rumor about him is not exaggerated.’ thought Phineas.

Getting pressured by Angus, Phineas didn’t flinch or worry. He kept his usual business smile without worry.

“Baron Victory, you asked who my best knight is, right?” asked Phineas back.

Angus doesn’t reply. He only gives him a silent nod to continue.

“Susane is the best when it comes to a frontal combat skill. Amel is the best at combat magic. Hervi is the best at leadership and group fights. Finally, Jennet is the best in the assault.” explained Phineas.

Hearing the answer, Angus didn’t feel offended or angry but had a rare smile.

‘This guy is really competent. What is he doing in this secluded kingdom? If I am not wrong, he is from the Glowspark family. Well, let’s think about it later.’ thought Angus.

“I see… It seems you have great judgment. What did you think about them fighting monsters or beasts?” asked Angus.

“Thank you for your praise, Baron Victory. I think they could hold themself against a four-grade monster or a fifth-grade beast.” replied Phineas.

“What about a fifth-grade monster or a sixth-grade beast?” asked Angus.

“Hmm… They don’t have a chance against a fifth-grade monster. But, they may be able to hold a sixth-grade beast depending on the beast.” said Phineas.

“Ohh… What makes you think of that?” asked Angus.

“Fifth-grade monsters have potent miasma. A slight wound will render them useless for the rest of the fight. On the other hand, the sixth-grade beast didn’t pose too much threat unless it had a special deadly trait like poison or unusual attack.” replied Phineas truthfully.

While hearing Phineas’ explanation, Angus observes the knights. He finds all of them listening to it silently without reacting despite being mentioned as useless.

‘They have good discipline. Much better than most of our kingdom squad and Royal guards. Moreover, this Phineas is also not ordinary. If what he said is true, he is an experienced and observant combatant.’

‘These kinds of people should be able to reach sixth grade, not a mere fourth-grade head ambassador.’ thought Angus.

“I hope your judgment is right, Head Ambassador Phineas. Now, I want you all to have a simple mock test against a sixth-grade beast.” said Angus with a smirk.

“A sixth-grade beast?!” exclaimed the knights in surprise.

“Anna, can you lend me Onyx to spar with them?” asked Angus.

“Sure. Onyx!!” called Anna.

*Sshhtss* the small Onyx came out from Anna’s clothes while hissing lowly.

“Hmm?? Ehh… You can’t?!” said Anna as she patted the Onyx’s little head.

“Anna, is there a problem?” asked Angus in worry.

“Emm.. Onyx said she couldn’t fight them. This place is restraining her power. She could only spit and bite at most. She also said Anna couldn’t even ride her.” said Anna.

“Hmm?! I don’t know if this embassy has a very strong restriction rune. Wait… by this place, did you mean this Nirvas Kingdom?” asked Angus.

“Yup. Onyx and Magen feel weak after entering this place.” replied Anna.

“Young Baron Angus, I believe it is the restriction of the Nirvas’ dimension. Any living being that enters this place without going through the five tests will be somehow restricted.” clarified Darren from the side.

“Well, that’s certainly a problem. It seems we have to improvise a little bit. Head Ambassador, call every one of your available knights. They will fight against Jayna.” said Angus.

“Alone? Baron Victory, I am not underestimating the fourth princess, but I don’t think she could handle all of our knights alone.” replied Phineas.

“Don’t worry, Jayna will not use her sword. Jayna tries not to burn them to ash, okay?” replied Angus playfully.

“Hmph… I can’t guarantee it. If they are too weak, they may turn to ash without me doing anything.” replied Jayna with a prideful tone.

Hearing this, Phineas could only obey the high noble couple. A moment later, half of the training area is covered with fire while the knights run for their lives. *BOOOM* a fire explosion erupted from Jayna’s attack.

“Don’t panic!! Shield up!! Amel uses your magic to keep the Fourth Princess.” commanded Hervy while sweating.

“It’s useless. All my spells are destroyed by her fire.” replied Amel after casting a few lower-circle spells on Jayna.

All her magic spells were destroyed by Jayna’s Flame Armor. Since Jayna didn’t use her sword as a medium to contain her fire, it made her fire more spread and less destructive. However, it is still enough to burn these high-grade knights if they are exposed too long or receive a direct hit.

Jayna also didn’t have perfect control over her fire this battle style. Fortunately. The Duchess is ready to rescue exhausted knights who couldn’t withstand her fire before being burned to a crisp.

Seeing the battle scene, Phineas showed a surprised expression before nodding with his usual fake business smile.

“I get it. This Fourth Princess battle style will be like fighting a sixth-grade beast with a deadly attack. The Fourth Princess may be outnumbered and inexperienced, but her fire is deadly enough to anyone below fifth grade.”

“Even some of the fifth grade may not be able to defend against her fire attack properly without expending a large amount of mana. Based on what I see, her fire is as strong as a sixth-grade beast attack.” commented Phineas.

“Correct. We didn’t know what would hit us. Still, if many people could feel this bad omen, it means large destruction upon us. Most of the large destruction is often created by monsters or beasts. As for the others, they may not survive when it truly happens.” explained Angus.

“In summary, they need to get used to fighting against deadly beasts far above their level to survive. This is the best and most efficient way to increase the knights’ survivability in a short time.” added Angus.

“True. Not many things could cause large-scale destruction, especially in this capital city. Even if it did, it may happen instantly and could kill anyone without knowing.” said Phineas.

“Hm.. For a foreign head Ambassador, you truly have a lot of experience. Hell, my father’s squad leader is worse than you in terms of experience.” said Angus.

“Haha.. Baron Victory, praise me too much. I just have a little experience in my younger days.” said Phineas.

“Interesting. Then, can you use this experience to train Crown Prince Eric and his two royal guards?” asked Angus.

“Ehh.. me?” chimed Eric from the side.

Ignoring the crown prince’ reaction, “You don’t have a problem, right?” asked Angus to Phineas.

“If this is the order and the decision of Duchess Amberblaze, I will do my best.” said Phineas with the same business smile.
