I Returned As the Governor of the Country That Abandoned Me

10 – We decided to call this Romance

“Governor Aran von Roberteyn.”

The road to the arena. Someone called my name

I turned my gaze to the direction where my name was being heard, and there was a boy with blonde hair, supported by girls, looking at me.

“Are you a mercenary?”

The mercenary you saw last time. And, a boy who was horribly defeated by a knight with a low level in this Dalian.

“The Emperor’s Dog, the Blood Knight of the Empire.”

“I don’t know what you mean.”

The emperor’s dog. I am not an idle person to the extent that a mere mercenary pays attention to insulting me. Just ignore To me, he is a passing dog, nothing more and nothing less.

But the word emperor’s dog was quite fresh. Although I swear allegiance to the emperor, I have never been close enough to the imperial family to be called the emperor’s dog.

The person I am close with is the 5th princess, but I wonder if I misunderstood something.

“Please do not persecute the people of the kingdom.”

“What are you talking about? Are you telling me this or that?”

Does it look like that in the eyes of a mercenary? I’m persecuting the kingdom. But it doesn’t matter. No matter what other people say, they won’t be able to stop me. Even if it is the queen of this country.

He continued to hear a voice behind him saying something, but I ignored his words and proceeded. Because no mere mercenary can stop me.

That’s how we arrived, a huge battle arena in front of us. Numerous people were filling this place as spectators, and in the middle, a man with a sword was waiting for me.

“It’s my first time competing with a knight of the empire, so please take good care of me.”

He greets you with a smirk. Is this behavior out of confidence or arrogance?

I hope that what you showed me is not everything. I don’t want to be disappointed by the knight who claims to be the first in the kingdom.

“Both sides, are you ready?”

“I am ready.”

“Whoops, I’m ready.”

The person who will mediate our confrontation stepped back after receiving our preparations. If it’s normal, we’ll reveal each other’s names here and proceed with sparring. However, this time is an exception.

“I am Deen von Serendir, a knight of the kingdom.”

“You do not deserve to hear my name. You don’t deserve to be a knight.”

“..What?”

“If you want to hear my name, prove it. At the level you’ve seen so far, you don’t seem qualified to hear my name.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha..!”

When I didn’t reveal his name, he gave a cool laugh and started running towards me.

A single sword that burrows in to stab me. Is it rapier?

Tung-

In contrast, I took out a black, regular longsword. Although that sword that penetrates into one point is difficult, it is useless if the user’s skills do not support it.

A fast-paced sword flying towards me. The shooting speed of the sword was fast, but the pattern was so light that it was easy to understand.

One sum, two sum, three sum. I received the guy’s sword with the feeling of lightly relaxing my body. Come to think of it, it’s been quite a while since I’ve held a sword.

But I am not weak enough to struggle against this guy. I just want to enjoy this entertainment a little more.

Ugh-

And then it was. The yellow aura began to fill his sword.

“Is it an Auror?”

“As expected, you recognize it.”

I can’t recognize it. Most knights have an aura.

“Doesn’t the governor use an aura? Ah, indeed. Few people can manifest this aura.”

As he said, the number of people who can manifest Auras is small. Even if it’s a knight.

So you think I can’t use auras? If there is one thing you are mistaken about, it is that the number and quality of prime numbers in the Kingdom and those in the Empire are completely different.

This time, the sword of the guy with the aura flew towards me. The power is stronger than before, but that’s it. That guy couldn’t fully use his aura yet.

As soon as I received his sword without using an aura, the smirking expression on his face began to distort little by little.

It’s getting boring, now to end this entertainment, I swung my defensive sword at him, but

Tung-

With something, a dull sound, the guy started to distance himself.

Usually, I would have split the armor of my black guy. However, the result is opposite. His armor wasn’t even scratched.

“Is it magic?”

“.. I didn’t know you would allow an attack.”

The study of magic that has recently begun to emerge. It was definitely an advanced technique compared to sword-wielding knights.

“Magic is always useful. If you apply this to the swordsmanship of knights, you can improve your skills more quickly.”

A combination of swordsmanship and magic. Even in the Empire, there were some knights who said things like that. They talked about how their skills would improve if they got help from magic.

However, that is not a way to improve one’s skills. It’s just a deterrent that hides one’s skills and hinders growth.

Look over there. The moment you used magic, Ellen’s face turned red with shame. That guy, too, when he was a seed, once dabbled in magic to try and win.

So I will give you the same teachings back then.

‘Come..’

I was watching the match between senior and Deen. Den, who manifested an aura. And, the senior who is lightly blocking such Deen’s sword.

The difference between a knight who manifests an aura and a knight who does not is vast. An area that cannot be reached. I haven’t been able to manifest my aura yet.

However, the senior responded by lightly slashing Deen’s sword wrapped in an aura. That too, without wearing an aura.

‘Have you mastered the aura, too?’

I don’t know. Because I’ve never seen you wield a sword. Even so, what is certain is that you are not being pushed back at all.

Soon after, the senior’s sword flew towards Deen. However, Deen’s armor is intact without the slightest crack.

‘Ah, magic.’

Magic. It is one of the emerging studies recently, and I remember hearing that in the past, a certain knight had used it to beat his fellow knight.

“Ha..hahahaha..!”

Senior Ellen’s face began to turn red after witnessing DeN’s use of magic. Why? Do you have any bad memories?

Ugh-

And then it was. The reason why senior’s blue sword started to cry.

“As you said, if the knowledge of magic can be brought into contact with the knights, then the knights might also develop.”

Senior’s sword moved with those words. In line with the slowly moving sword of the senior, the world begins to change.

From day to night. The aura emitted by the senior changed the scenery of this world.

‘Image World..!’

The moment I saw the world dyed black, I couldn’t help but be astonished. An image world that only a knight with faith can create when the aura is raised to the limit. That’s because senior was expressing it.

As far as I know, there are very few people who can develop the world of images. Did you say it was about one in 100 knights? Maybe, even less than that.

So, I thought I would never see a moment like this in my entire life. Until now, until I see the world of your image.

But that is not what is important now. The realm that all knights dream of. Because it was more important to hold that stage in these two eyes.

Senior started to move step by step. Created accordingly, the world of your own image. This place was no longer the battlefield where I was.

A vast land that seems to embrace everything. No matter how much I look up, I can’t tell the end of it, the sky soaring high.

That’s right. Where I was, it was a vast meadow at night.

“Articles shouldn’t be like that. Only sword. Climb to the top of this world with a sword. There is nothing needed in between. Only, a black bag is enough.”

Senior took a posture to wield a sword. As a result, a blue moon began to rise, shining pitifully.

A dark night sky. What rose in the middle was a tiny blue moon. This is your image world. What kind of beliefs do you have that you can create such a beautiful world of images?

Soon, the rain began to pour behind the blue moon.

‘Rain, no.’

Innumerable stars embroidered the sky. Numerous stars set behind the moon, and in the end, only one blue moon remained.

“And then, we decided to call it romance.”

Senpai swung a blue sword. There is nothing that can block the knight who developed the world of imagination. Magic? Armor? They just tear like paper.

As the senior swung his sword, a huge solid line was drawn on Deen’s armor. Unable to overcome the sword attack, he flew backwards and crashed into the wall. Probably, I will never be able to get out of bed.

It was then that the senior who overpowered his opponent turned around and looked at the small moon. A lone knight standing with his sword on the ground, guarding the bright blue little moon.

Still, I don’t know what beliefs you hold. However, one thing is certain, that the blue moon floating behind you is only shining on you alone.

Looking at that senior, I thought.

I probably will never forget this beautiful night sky.
