7 KINGDOMS: conquest
23.Aaron Duke
"So, did you save my daughter in the woods?" Duke Aaron asked.
When his daughter returns with Guran, they tell her that they are in danger, their train is attacked by a group of goblins.
And a black-haired young man helped them, killing those goblins easily.
The young man then left and only said his name was Noran.
Actually Esline and Guran were about to take him to the capital to receive the appropriate reward, but Noran had left.
"So, thank you for saving my daughter" Duke Aaron said.
Duke Aaron took out a small pouch filled with gold coins, amounting to no less than 100 gold coins or maybe even more.
"No sir, I just happened to pass by and met them being attacked by goblins" Noran said.
Noran rejected the gold coins, he helped not to get a reward, but just wanted to help.
Moreover, he also rose in level because of those goblins, it was already worth it to him.
"Well if you refuse, are you looking for my daughter?" ask Duke Aaron.
looking is not the right word for now, he is just visiting, but it is more or less like Duke Aaron said.
Duke Aaron then told a servant to call his daughter.
"So, why did you come to the capital?" ask Duke Aaron.
He was curious, whether the young man in front of him was just visiting or just wanted to meet his daughter.
"I plan to enjoy the festival that will be held, I heard many events made" said Noran.
Shortly Esline got off the second floor, wearing a white dress that made her look even prettier.
"Dad called?" Esline did not pay attention to where her father was sitting, just walked over and looked towards him.
"Yes, there's someone who wants to see you" Duke Aaron said.
Noran coughed, he only visited but Duke Aaron said something ambiguous.
"Someone wants to see me?" Esline tries to recall, but he doesn't remember having an appointment with anyone.
Esline became curious and walked closer to his father, when close enough he realized who was sitting before his father, it was Noran.
"Noran?" Esline was surprised to see Noran at his residence.
"It's me, I've received your letter" Noran said.
Looking at Esline who was wearing a white dress, made her look so beautiful.
"Hahaha, my daughter is already here, what do you want to talk about?" ask Duke Aaron.
"It's nothing." said Noran.
He was embarrassed by the words of the middle-aged man in front of him, many times he cornered him.
"Dad! Don't tease her!" Esline snorted at the attitude of his father.
It was funny to see Noran's timid attitude.
"Well, I won't interrupt, enjoy your time" Duke Aaron said.
Duke Aaron then got up and left the room, going back up to the second floor.
Esline then sat down and looked at Noran.
"Finally you came, I've been waiting for you for a month" Esline said.
"I'm on some missions in the woods" Noran said.
Noran recounts his last mission, killing hundreds of Orcs and confronting an Orc cheif.
"Orc Cheif?!" Esline was surprised to hear that.
"What's wrong?" Noran was confused by Esline's attitude.
"Well...You are no ordinary person." said Esline.
Noran smiled, it seemed like he was too strange in this world.
"In monster tiers, there are several levels. The lowest one was a normal monster and the leader of the monsters.
There were several levels in the leader of the monsters:
Cheifs
Lords
King
Emperors
Hero
For Orc monsters, they were generally level 80-90, and for Orc cheifs would be at least level 170 or even higher.
"Why are you fighting them?" ask Esline.
"It was a request from a friend" Noran said.
"Friends?" Esline was in disbelief.
The young man before him dared to face death just by request.
"Don't talk about it, I'm here for a walk, will you take me?" ask Noran.
Choosing Esline as his guide was the right choice, the capital was too vast for him.
He will easily get lost in a city of this size, besides he also does not know many interesting places from this city.
"Walking? Of course, I will accompany you." said Esline.
The two were then about to leave the Mansion, but duke Aaron stopped them.
"Stop first, did you ask my daughter out on a date?" ask Duke Aaron.
"Dating? Uhk.. No, I just want him to lead me to a place of interest" Noran said.
Without Noran knowing, Esline also thought the same, he thought that if Noran asked him out just that he said it subtly.
"Do you also think so Esline?" Duke Aaron looked at his daughter.
Noran was curious and looked at him, his face flushed red and looking down embarrassed.
"Did he think the same?" Noran felt surprised, why could they easily think of dating.
"I didn't ask her out just to ask to guide me, was that wrong?" ask Noran.
He felt dizzy in his head, why were the thoughts of the nobles so far away.
"Son, a man and a woman walk together without anyone else, isn't that a date her name?" ask Duke Aaron.
Well, what he said made sense, Noran looked at the middle-aged man and resigned himself.
"Then what do you want?" ask Noran.
"I want us to duel" Duke Aaron said.
"Duel?" ask Aaron.
"Yes, duel. If you win, you can go on a date with my daughter, if you lose, I'll cut your neck" Duke Aaron said.
Noran felt goosebumps, it seemed like Duke Aaron was not messing around.
"Do you dare?" ask Duke Aaron.
Noran looked at the man, looking at the status hovering above his head.
[Name : Aaron von Rosvelt.
Race : human
Job : nobleman (Duke)
Title: the 4th Duke , ???, ???
Level 160 ]
Noran was a little surprised, seeing nobles who had such high levels was extremely rare.
Duke Aaron smiled looking at Noran's surprised expression.
"Where might I let my daughter be close to a random man" Duke Aaron thought.
"How's it?" ask Duke Aaron.
For a level 160, noran only laughed inwardly, he would win against him.
"I accepted it." said Noran.
The two then walked towards the training ground that was behind the mansion.
The two took out an iron sword and prepared with their horse.
"Are you ready?" ask Duke Aaron.
"I'm always ready at any time" Noran said.
