"Leon, you've gone a bit too far."

Olivia stepped forward and tugged at Leon, her eyes filled with worry, her blush still lingering on her face.

"Don't worry. Everything will be fine. But speaking of which, Angelica went to get it? I won the match for her. I don't need to give her tens of thousands of gold coins, but at least she should say thank you."

Leon stared in confusion at Angelica, who had vanished from sight.

“Angelica went to visit His Highness and said she would come over later to thank you.”

Olivia explained, her worry never fading.

"Then let's go get the gold coins back now. Olivia, do you want to come with us?"

Lyon extended the invitation, his face filled with anticipation.

However, Olivia rejected him.

…………

Inside the medical room, after Angelica entered, the doctors all left without her noticing, leaving the two of them alone.

Julius leaned against the headboard, dejected and utterly depressed.

Angelica looked at the uninjured Julius, and the tension on her face vanished. The reason she ran over so quickly was because Leon's punch from behind looked very powerful.

"Your Highness, I'm so glad you're alright. I thought..."

Julius coldly interrupted Angelica.

"Stop with the crocodile tears. My current state is all your agent's fault!"

Angelica initiated the duel, but it was Julius and his companions who willingly took it upon themselves to become the duelists.

"Your Highness, I did all this for you."

Angelica's voice carried a hint of humility, but Julius saw it as utterly hypocritical.

"For me? You're only after the position of Crown Princess!"

"No! That's not it! I did it for Your Highness!"

"Hmph! You've never seen me before, and you don't even know my favorite food."

"Your Highness's favorite soup is..."

Angelica described Julius's favorite soup, but received a negative response.

"What I like is the barbecue skewers I used to sneak out to eat. Because some people said that it was food for commoners and didn't suit my status, I never mentioned it to you. I think you would definitely disagree with me, just like them."

Tears streamed down Angelica's cheeks.

"No! Just tell me, and I'll do it right away..."

“Angelica, Mariah noticed it without me having to tell her. She noticed it the first time we went out.”

Upon hearing this, Angelica lowered her head and tears streamed down her face.

I didn't even notice, but that woman did. Even though I was the one who was always by His Highness's side...

“Angelica, I know I have been disrespectful to you and your family, but I can only blame Marie.”

Julius tried to express his feelings gently as he watched Angelica cry, but Angelica, who had been by his side for so long, was unwilling to give up.

Even so, I want to stay by Your Highness's side!

"I'm sorry, I can't fall in love with you."

Julius looked out the window.

Upon seeing this, Angelica wiped away the tears on her face and turned her back.

"Your Highness, I am very sorry to have disturbed your rest. I will silently wish you happiness."

Angelica felt a sharp, stabbing pain in her heart, but she still spoke out resolutely.

Having received her answer, she had already made the decision to leave.

Volume Two: School Life: Chapter Twenty-Eight - The Greedy Boy

At the home of the Duke of Redgrab.

A pile of glittering platinum coins sat on the table, and sitting above the table was Angelica's father, Vince Rafa Redgrab, a dignified man with a muscular build and sharp eyes, sporting a gray slicked-back hairstyle.

Standing beside her was Angelica's brother, Gilbert Rafa Redgrab, a blond-haired, blue-eyed man whose face was very similar to Vince's, though he was slightly thinner.

Vince stared at Leon for a long time before speaking, his voice carrying an air of authority.

"So, I understand everything. And you mean you want me to clean up your mess, right?"

The bluntness of his words startled Lyon, but he quickly recovered and said with a serious expression, "Duke Vince, I'm asking you this for the sake of the kingdom's future. You must know that His Highness has been blinded by that girl! As a knight of the kingdom..."

Lyon was about to launch into a long speech, but Vince quickly stopped him.

“Bartofarth, I understand what you mean. I will convey your message to the court. However, this is all I can agree to, because you are not my adopted son, nor do you even belong to the same faction. Although you helped my headstrong daughter, in other words, you intervened voluntarily.”

"Yes, Duke Vince. Thank you."

Leon didn't pay attention to the unspoken meaning in Vince's words. He just needed someone to communicate with the royal family. He chose Vince simply because he was Angelica's father.

Gilbert then spoke up.

"Bartofarth, I want to ask you something. What is your true purpose? Given your goals and strategies, you could have easily reached a higher position after graduation before speaking to His Majesty."

"My true purpose is for the kingdom! As a knight, I will not allow that kind of woman to get close to the future king!"

Lyon spoke without batting an eye, showing no shame whatsoever for lying.

Vince looked at Leon and laughed happily.

"Those are truly respectable words, and I will convey them to His Majesty. Moreover, because of the fighting, the court and the noble families are now in complete chaos. The Redgrab family has also officially dissolved Angelica's engagement to His Highness. That fellow is not good enough for my daughter, don't you think?"

Lyon sensed something was off about Vince's last sentence, but he didn't show it.

“Duke Vince, as a knight, I have no right to speak on this matter! My duty is to protect the kingdom.”

"Really? Then let's change the subject. I have something I'd like to ask you."

Vince's eyes were filled with a smile.

"Please say!"

“This incident has been a huge blow to Anjie, and as her father, I can’t just stand by and watch her become so despondent. Although I’d ​​like to find a place in the countryside for her to recuperate, I’m too busy with family matters to help.”

Lyon understood what Vince meant.

Because of Angelica's situation, the families of the same faction are to be punished by remaining silent. In order to prevent Angelica from seeing these dirty deeds, the plan is to hand them over to Leon.

“I understand, Duke Vince. Although the conditions in our family’s territory are not good, I will do my best to help Miss Angelica.”

"Yes. Maids will be sent to serve you here, so don't worry."

Vince nodded in satisfaction as he watched Leon get the hang of things.

Lyon then took his leave and left the Duke's mansion, leaving only Vince and Gilbert behind.

"Father, what's your opinion?"

Vince's smile did not fade.

“The Bartofart family has produced a very capable child. He probably planned to come looking for us before he even made his move. And this greedy kid is quite generous, isn’t he?”

The two of them looked at the platinum coins on the table, which numbered two thousand and were worth a hundred million dia.

"To risk reputation and money to advise His Highness—that's truly remarkable resolve. In comparison, the younger brother only knows how to flatter. This kind of task should have been his, but now it's being done by someone with a promising future. Besides, there are just too many naive children."

Vince's eyes sharpened as he said this.

"Although Ange's request to duel was also superficial, she introduced herself when everyone was against her and no one could help her... Isn't that a good story? A knight should be like that, at least on the surface."

"So, what do you plan to do?"

Gilbert asked, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"After all, he's my daughter's benefactor, and he gave us so much, so we definitely have to clean up his mess. Besides, having a trustworthy knight is a good thing, even if he's a bit greedy. If we can bring him under our control, it would be a good thing for us. And this experience has also made me realize how many families are unreliable."

Vince and Gilbert looked out the window toward the harbor, where the lost artifact, over 700 meters long, was moored, named the Bartona battleship!

This is an incredibly glorious achievement in the Kingdom of Holfal, which reveres adventurers.

"What are your plans next? Do you need to select young girls from among your family members?"

"It sounds feasible, but the greedy boy seems to hate political marriages. We still need to think about it some more. I'll go to the palace first, and I'll leave the territory to you."

Vince took some of the platinum coins with him and left, while Gilbert summoned his retainers to prepare for the upcoming cleaning.

…………

At the port, Lyon held a huge megaphone, while Daniel and Raymond stood beside him, each holding a large sign that read,

"Take a look, have a look! A direct airship to the border! Not 9999, not 888, just 88!"

What are you waiting for? What are you hesitating for? A direct express airship to the border, only 88!

"Master, I hereby lodge a serious complaint against your actions!"

Luciano was deeply dissatisfied with Lyon's use of the Barutona as a transport ship.

"Can I suggest a few more research directions for you?"

"Master, I want the attack power to be at least as high as a nuclear bomb!"

"alright."

The only offensive technologies that Leon can think of that are no less powerful than a nuclear bomb are weather control from Apocalypse, microwave vaporizers from Batman, and electromagnetic railguns.

After calming Lucaccion down, Lyon, Daniel, and Raymond worked hard to promote their products and try to earn as much as possible.

Only after confirming that there were no more people or goods heading to the border region did they stop shouting and return to their warships to fly towards the border area.

As for concerns that spies might come up to find out about Barutona, Lyon said it was completely impossible.

All the weapons on the Barutona were concealed, and the interior was decorated like a regular passenger airship, so most people would only think it was a non-combatant airship. Moreover, the airship was equipped with numerous surveillance cameras and locks, limiting the passengers' movement to a few designated areas.

P.S.: What do you all think of the princess of the ducal kingdom?

P.S.: I got this from a friend: "The Berserker Savior Has Arrived in Grand Style!"

Synopsis: "You mean, this is the savior you're in charge of?"

"Yes, please watch the video."

The staff of the Time and Space Administration looked to the side.

"Hehe ...

Having successfully reconnected with the berserk power, Li Lin's killing intent was 50 times stronger than ever before! Incomparably ferocious! Incomparably domineering! With such a terrifying demon god, what in the world could possibly stand in his way?! What the hell could possibly withstand it?!

"Come! Come! Come! You lowly creatures! You vile things! May you all die under my God-Slaying Thunderbolt!!"

"I, I, I... I am absolutely good!!!"

"Uh... do you think he's a savior?"

I think he is.

Volume Two: School Life: Chapter Twenty-Nine, with Angelica as an addendum

Julius and the others who remained at the school received punishment from the royal palace; all of them lost their status as heirs, a situation that filled Marie with immense darkness.

After several days of travel, Lyon finally returned to his own floating island.

With the arrival of summer vacation, almost all students have left the school.

Apart from Marie and Julius, who were asked to stay at the academy to wait.

The decision regarding Julius and his associates within the royal palace was made very quickly.

At this moment, the messenger from the royal palace had already fully explained the punishment decision for Julius and the other four.

After hearing all this, Marielle's face was filled with surprise.

"How could this be? How could everyone be stripped of their inheritance rights?"

While it's understandable that Julius went from crown prince to Prince Marie, it's completely unacceptable that the remaining four Zekes also went from being family heirs to ordinary nobles.
