Chapter 214
The taut air finally exploded. The Duke of Lancaster, the Divine Sword, drew the sword hanging at his waist. It was a movement swift as lightning, and before anyone knew it, the tip of his blade touched the back of the Blood-Red Ball’s neck.
“Ah, what a surprise. Why did you stop your sword?”

“Shouldn’t you just swing your sword and cut his throat?”
Yet the Duke of Lancaster’s blade left no wound upon his flesh. For they both understood the weight of the blood flowing through each other’s bodies. Just as Mikhail Lancaster had done before the ‘Black Prince’.

“Now, now, don’t misunderstand.”
The Crimson Prince shrugged his shoulders and replied.
“I merely fulfilled the foolish wish of His Highness the Archduke’s second son, Mikhail.”
“……!”
The moment he heard those words, the Duke of Lancaster’s expression finally froze.
