Din No Monshou Chapter 10 (2/2)

Myself aside, if Walkins were the one ent into rae, it wouldn’t be funny

I have known it frory if someone were to insult Sefina

However, the rage was just three times more than what I had initially expected

「That’s right, Shadiverga-sa your head so et even more bald 」

「I wasn’t prostrating! Besides, I’ve told you before not to ain about my baldness in this family, haven’t I!? 」

Shadiverga was denying it desperately

I’lad

It appears that he has regained his spirit somehow

Thereupon, I asked them for a detailed explanation

「Father, I understand that we have proposed for a duel Specifically, hoill the outco like a war between soldiers? 」

「It is different That is not thethe outcome of the duel We don’t just effortlessly cut down the opponent’s strength like a normal dispute We will do it properly as stipulated in the law 」

「It’s our kingdom’s 『Duel Method』 」

Walkins added in as a complement

Duel Method

That is new to me

I do know that it’s a common sense that a duel is initiated once you point your sword at the other party though

Based on the story, when the nobles place their pride into a duel, there are a few regulations to take note of

That regulation is called 『The Seventh Duel』, and this is usually determined strictly in accordance to the law

Incidentally the duelrules

First Rule

・When one of the house made a declaration of duel, the duel will only occur if the other house accepted it

In this case, this duel only started because Shadiverga pointed his sword at Durf

Since the other party accepted the duel, this condition was met

Second Rule

・ The head of the family can select someone from their side for the duel

Also the duel is carried out in a one-to-one individual match

In short, a fight occurring between nobles do not usually happen

It is a common sense usually for the person who participate in the duel to hire a mercenary, soldier, or a private army instead

This way, they will not waste their own group of soldiers by throwing them into the duel and the consumption of the soldier will be less too

If the noble that supports the country collapse, the country will collapse too

They h this carefully to prevent a country fro

Third Rule

・ Both duelist will fight till either party surrenders or dies

Even if it was said that the duel will end once the other party surrender, there is actually hardly any case at all whereby soive up』

Basically the duel just continues until the other person is killed

If by chance, they do throw their sword aside and return with their heads lowered, they will obviously be killed by their employer too

Fourth Rule

・ Once the duel has reached a conclusion, the winner gets to demand a request in public and the loser will need to provide whatever the winner demands

It felt slightly strange here

The request will be submitted to the referee in the form of written paper in advance It is the principle to leave the paper face down until the duel has reached a conclusion

By the way, there seems to be a proper reason to this

In this kingdom, stoic asceticism has been a symbol of the noble

So froious family will

『I want that』

『I want this』

hence having the request written out first will prevent the hell

It was not mentioned inside but it’s a common sense to make only one request

It seeht

After listening to the conversation so far, we have already decided on the potential representative from our side for the match

If Walkins were the one chosen to go out, most of them will probably be instantly killed

However, the other party knows that the next rule is exploitable in order to carry on with this duel

Fifth Rule

・ If there is any particular people from the opponent’s house who is involved in the request, you are to sub so it is possible to exclude the person from the duel

In addition, that specified person is not allowed to carry out any act that will influence the power of both houses in the duel Moreover, self-injuring is prohibited

However, once you have done the specification, the house will not be allowed to es to the request later

To summarize it simply,

『I have a request relating to A-kun so I put a stop in the participation of A-kun in the duel』

So if you were to ask what is the purpose of this rule……

You would like to steal a competent mercenary A from the opposite opponent’s house, in current state–In other words, you want mercenary A ”intact”

If the opponent’s house happened to select hting, it is assumed that the duel will be won only after a fierce battle

At that tiood and is not usable anymore due to the duel

That is why if you make your claim in advance, you can make it possible to disqualify him as the representative

By the way, there will be so the duel, to prohibit that person fro a move

The latter half of the fifth rule also appears to be significant as it seems to be enacted due to a case that happened before in the past

According to it, when the soldier refused to go to the other party’s house due to their loyalty, there have beenor after the duel

To a noble, after knowing that their own vassal who treasured the house to this extent ended up in this predicaht be really painful to them in either way

Durf will definitely beuse of this rule well, so ill not be able to make Walkins participate

This rule that treats people as objects usted

Although this has been a custoo so it couldn’t be helped

「Father Has the other side already nominated Walkins? 」

「Aa, they have already infor Walkins-dono involved, do not send her out as representative』 」

「Well since they knew the existence of this rule, they will definitely make use of it 」

Thus, Walkins will not be able to appear as our representative

Everything will be resolved easily if only she could represent us in the duel

This is a very grave situation

「…Aa It’s really an unpleasant rule 」

Walkins heaved a deep sigh as well

If only the first rule could be abolished, ouldn’t need to worry about anything else anymore

Well, ouldn’t be able to do anything now even if we are frustrated by it

Let’s explain the details of the next rule

Sixth Rule

・Once the duel between the two house have reached a conclusion, the two houses are prohibited to be in contact for 3 years

This is a rule to prevent retaliation due to grudge

Failing to do so will cause that house to be thenobles

I wonder if there are no nobles who have broken this rule at all after all the past duels

Seventh Rule

・The kingdom will despatch an observer as a referee to oversee the duel to avoid any foul play in between

Furthermore, the duel will be held at an arena in the Imperial City--in the presence of all the nobles to ensure that it is carried out justly

The referee will be soe the duel based on the regulations

If that observer is also acting as a referee, then they must have some authority too

They ht have the power to disqualify a person from a duel too if they noticed any foul play

During a duel they will not be able to carry out any foolish conduct so it will be safe for the ti

In addition, to ensure the fairness of the duel, it will be carried out in front of the nobles in the Imperial City

So as to avoid any trouble in future, they have established a really strict rule

「So this is the Duel Method I was just aware of all the details now too 」

「There is also the existence of so called Duel Method Supplement Treaty However, the particulars for this have only been decided recently so it’s fine even if you were to ignore it 」

「It’s so troublesome Won’t assassination work? 」

「Don’t do that If exposed, the entire Din house will suffer criticism 」

「I’ Don’t take that so seriously 」

Shadiverga got frightened by estion and tried to stop me

Due to his nervousness he is probably highly sensitive now

Walkins who hasn’t spoken much since just now suddenly came up with an abrupt proposal, possibly because the conversation earlier has ended

「There is still oneh training regimen How about it? 」

Certainly, that would be the best option we have at this moment

There was nothing else that I could wish for

However, Shadiverga voiced out his objection here

「No, I don’t want to use the corps They are indeed well-trained in group battles but they don’t have any experience in individual match 」

「Then what about hiring a mercenary? 」

「Any trust that coile Besides, the funds that Din house can spare to hire a mercenary is limited」

「……Then, what can be done now? 」

Walkins tilted her head, ihts

Shadiverga seemed to be at lost there

I will co somehow

Besides, even if the chance of success is really loill just push h

In any event, I wouldn’t listen to it even if they were to stop me

I waited for Shadiverga’s response in silence

「–I will go out」

「Are you sane? The opponent is probably a skilled mercenary Do you think you have the chance to win?」

「It’s not if I can win or I can’t win I in 」

Shadiverga raised a powerful cry from the bottom of his stomach

Walkin’s body shook momentarily

Such an intense spirit

However that reproval wasn’t directed at Walkins

It’s a cry to brace oneself up

「To Durf who injured Sefina with his words, I will deliver the punishment with my oo hands 」

A strong determination

Shadiverga who usually behaves foolishly most of the time, suddenly became serious today

He wasn’t able to forgive Durf to that degree

Well, I am of the same opinion too

Winning or losing aside

「Once we are done with the preparations, let’s go to the Imperial City The incident this time has made me reached my limits This will be the death of you, Durf–」

Shadiverga seems to be on fire

He is dashi+ng without stopping towards the ruin

But it would be pointless no matter how much we try to persuade him

Since his own beloved wife is being made fun of

If I were to be in Shadiverga’s shoes, I would get angry too

Fury I will definitely not allow him to live

「We’ll taking off tomorrow! Just watch this Durf! I will definitely not succumb to you! 」

Even though itspirit is certainly worthy of respect

As for me, I definitely do not want this person to die

Based on my experience, such a hot-blooded man shouldn’t die

Besides, I will do whatever it takes to protect Walkins

–And I would like to be a person who is capable of saving someone

Those words that I have said before soh my mind

Since I was given another chance I would also like to do my best, to protect the two of them

The following day

As soon as the journey started, I began to realize the reality of the impact

I ended up finding out that I feel nauseous when I ride a horse-drawn carriage

The carriage is swaying and swaying

I’onna puke

By the way, on reaching the I

I want a medicine to prevent motion sickness
