Battle Race in Romance Fantasy

163 – The Grand Duke has already been decided?

“Whoa, whoa.”

Early morning. Time when others are still wandering in the land of dreams.

Kyle, who had just kicked off the bed and got up, was in the middle of a push-up.

Originally, it was too cumbersome to exercise, so I simply did 100 exercises in an upright position.

But seeing her father not too long ago, I was strangely stimulated.

After that, every morning, she made up her mind to hold on with her left hand, with her right hand behind her back.

‘The princess’s turn this time went well without incident.’

Is the second prince of the Grand Duchess of Littorio locked in his room again? Is it my knowledge

I didn’t have an unfortunate story, and I dug my own grave, so what should I do?

I don’t like the fact that I was scared by myself even though my sister didn’t hit me directly.

You’ll never crawl out again. I will give up fighting Elgar.

If later, with a different mindset, you sneakily poke your face in, it’s enough to cause PTSD again.

Just looking at it, I got a quote. There is absolutely no such thing as a guy who has the knack to hold on to this clenched fist.

If he was that kind of person, he would have robbed himself and stood up and fought Elgar again.

The response from Archduke Littorio was unexpectedly very positive.

Anyway, he’s my son.

On the contrary, he even put on an apologetic expression and didn’t even mention that part at all.

I think the big reason is that I was confident about what happened yesterday.

Who should be nominated as the next grand duke? Whoever sits in that seat will make the grand duchy more powerful. Archduke Littorio, who had no gaps, must have known that for sure.

‘There is only vacation left now. Shit, why does vacation look like the hardest?’

Breaking means going back to my hometown.

For some, it will be a day to go back to their missing family and hometown.

Unfortunately, ‘scary’ would be more appropriate for Kyle than ‘nostalgic’.

Once you go back, you have to go through that murderous schedule all over again.

Strict diet management is also unavoidable. Goodbye to flying for a while.

I can’t even dream of working out at the academy if I go back to John Nassen.

Actually, it’s a little unfair, that the academy people were scared.

That’s what John Nassen said, ‘Is that exercise? I just want to warm up.’ It’s just a pity.

“Whoa!”

He let out a breath and stood up.

I’ve done a hundred push-ups, and it’s time to do some cardio.

I glanced out the window and saw a gymnasium in the distance.

Did you say that it is a space used by all the people of the Grand Duchy as well as the knights?

It is about the same size as the one at the academy. I wonder if that would be adequate.

Right away from the room, Kyle made his way through the early morning air to the gymnasium.

‘Are the knights awake yet? Don’t you train at dawn?’

I wanted to see the level of the knights of the Grand Duchy of Littorio.

Did I come out too early? After scratching his cheek once, Kyle decided to run.

Tada da da da da da da da!!-

‘What the hell have you been doing for a semester already? Time indeed… It’s so damn fast.’

I haven’t really done anything. Do some exercise, teach some exercise. That’s it. A few months passed quickly.

If I go on like this, the 4 years will be over in the blink of an eye a few times.

How happy I was to get 4 years of escape time, but half of it flew away.

“Kyle!”

For a moment, she wondered if she had heard it wrong.

Huh? Turning her head, she saw Elgar standing opposite her.

“Elgar? Are you up already?”

“What do you say? Kyle, it was you who told me to get up early in the morning and exercise?”

“That’s true, but the articles haven’t come out yet.”

“That was me or Kyle coming out too early. Now is the time to get everyone ready.”

Is that so? Did I come out too early? If I had known it would be like this, I would have done a hundred more push-ups.

While I was reflecting in my heart, Elgar quietly stood beside me.

“Now, shall we go? Instead, just run a little slower. He arrived a little while ago and was looking to run together, but he was so fast that he couldn’t keep up with him.”

“If you slow down even more here, isn’t that just walking, not running?”

At Kyle’s answer, Elgar’s expression strangely changed.

What is running and what is walking in this man’s standard?

Just now, I was sprinting through the gymnasium, but I thought something was running.

But what’s even more frightening is that even after running like that, I didn’t feel like breathing hard.

“Well, let’s run quickly. When I stop running, my pulse stops.”

Still, when I ask for a favor, he runs really slowly.

Seeing that she cares deeply, Elgar smiled and joined Kyle’s side.

‘Honestly, waking up at dawn is really hard.’

We broke up after working out yesterday, but today is also starting with a workout.

It would be nice to create a slightly romantic atmosphere, but wouldn’t it still be difficult?

Yes. Let’s be satisfied with this for now. Rather not bad it’s okay

If you work out together, you will get closer. Tisha and the saint were like that, right?

It was Elgar who ran side by side with Kyle, trying to hide her regretful expression.

“Is everyone gathered?”

“Yes! Everyone gathered!”

“Okay. As usual today. But never!”

“Don’t waste your money!!”

The daily routine of the knights begins with a loud cry.

First of all, after briefly walking around the gymnasium, they train their physical strength and focus on swordsmanship.

Although Littorio is a family with influence in foreign affairs, they are by no means weak in arms.

On the contrary, since he is a grand duke, he should show a more powerful figure than other families.

“Huh?”

The knights who have just entered the gymnasium suddenly let out exclamations.

I didn’t prepare to run right away, but why did the senior engineer suddenly step forward?

“… Princess?”

There were already passengers at the gymnasium.

“Ha ha ha!”

The one walking around the outside of the gymnasium, breathing heavily, is a princess from the Grand Duchess of Littorio.

I’m not even a knight, but it was surprising that I was training my strength from this early hour.

“Ha ha! Ah! Did everyone come out!? hahahaha!”

Slowing her speed, Elgar approaches the knights.

The reddened face and the sweat drops on the bones.

This is not what a beautiful lady from an aristocratic family would look like.

In a social world, you might frown at how you look.

But the articles aren’t like that at all. Rather, I applaud that kind of appearance.

Those who know the importance of self-management and training.

Isn’t it a pretty good thing if such a person is the future lord to follow?

“I didn’t expect you to be working out so early.”

“Really? I’ve been doing this ever since the academy. I will continue to do so.”

“Is that so?”

The knight commander glanced at the person standing next to Elgar.

Kyle. Yes, did you say Kyle of Baron John Nassen?

It’s so perfect that even applause comes out because it’s not perfect.

It is he who has risen to the position of captain after going through apprentice knight, rank knight, and senior knight.

During that time, my ability to see and judge people also improved a lot.

So, just by looking at him like this, you can tell right away that he is a great person.

‘I heard that you recently defeated Sir Mathieu, one of the three leaders of the alliance.’

Mathieu is a person who is given a top 10 power in the empire.

He subdued such a figure without a single wound, and he did not even kill it.

If it was military force, that one thing would have already been proven enough.

“Mr. Elga.”

The overwhelmingly strong man treats his young lady very friendly.

It’s like treating a really close friend, or something more.

“Do you want to take a break?”

“Are you not resting together?”

“Didn’t the knights come? I want to run more with them.”

“You want to run again? You already ran a lot?!”

“If you’re going to run together more, I won’t stop you.”

“No! More, more run! I’ll be taking a breather over there!!”

It was Elgar who, in fright, swung her hand around.

She’s getting points with her workouts, but this is really going too far.

You want to run more here? Who do you want to see pass out? Even in front of the knights?!

“Then take a break.”

Kyle naturally intervenes in the knights’ physical training.

These knights were paying attention for a moment, but soon focused on their training.

Doo-doo-doo!!-

Dozens of people start running outside the gymnasium.

I usually speed up, but today I run faster than usual.

A guest intervened, and the guest is from John Nassen.

He is a strong man who defeated two top 10 people. He is a young man who has been favored by the imperial family.

When I thought that way, it seemed like everyone was a little bit nervous and excited.

“Whoop, whoop!”

“Oops! Huh!”

Continue to maintain speed while exhaling heavy breaths.

As expected, Kyle was at the forefront of those articles.

‘Aren’t you tired?!’

‘As expected, he is a great young man. After all, it’s John Nassen!’

The knights gritted their teeth in admiration and with a competitive spirit.

Even though I couldn’t outrun that young man, I’d rather die than be left behind.

‘Can’t you run faster? I wish it was a little faster.’

Actually, Kyle felt sorry for the knights because they were slower than he thought.

*

Kyle did not give any specific instructions to the knights for their physical training.

They have their own management method. It wasn’t the saintess or Elgar who didn’t know anything.

Even if this method is more helpful, there is no need to force it.

The most unpleasant thing for those who take care of their body is that kind of training.

‘You have to let them approach you on their own. Then, wouldn’t it be better to show the results?’

Right next to the knights’ training, Kyle continued her workout with Elgar.

Training mainly consisted of Elgar, and she was definitely better than the first time.

“Just five more.”

“If you add five more here, that ‘more’ is twenty in total. You know?!”

“Elgar who does 20 more is truly the best.”

Then aaa!! It was Elgar who continued to increase the number of times she screamed.

Rather than sitting down and drinking tea, or holding hands and talking.

I felt the feeling of getting closer while exercising like this.

“Captain. Look at this. It seems that the princess is much better than before.”

In the meantime, the knights who have taken a break talk to each other.

Second Young master locked himself in his room and almost became a dead man.

In his place, a newly appeared princess is taking care of her body while sweating.

They were knights who were uncomfortable being ignored by those sitting in front of their desks.

There are many who want the support of the Knights but do not sweat with them.

In the meantime, if there is someone who knows the value of sweat drops like that, what will happen in the future?

‘Come to think of it, His Excellency the Grand Duke told all his retainers to gather.’

No way, but she seemed to be right in her prediction.

A place to conclude discussions about the successor and decide the future head of the family.

Yes. The grand duke’s call this time was probably because of that.

It has been customary for the Knights to officially express their neutrality.

However, it can be different depending on the case.

Young master, who is showing a disappointing move like now.

On the contrary, a princess who continues to show a good side to the people of the grand duke’s family.

Continuing to express neutrality between them may turn into disloyalty.

For the glory and prosperity of Littorio, sometimes it is right to speak up.

‘A decision will be made.’

Perhaps, by welcoming the princess who is sweating over there as the grand duke of the future.
