Things that Don’t Matter in Front of Love (3)

(3rd person pov)

Bobby, being escorted, was lost in thought. His eyes flashed silently in the dark.

When he learned that everything he had said had been conveyed to the capital, he had been completely silent since he was taken away by Bogum.

It was an unconditional loss to say something impulsively at a time like this. He had to properly scheme and then move.

‘The Marquis of Abedes must be trying to get away. But I have to let it go somehow.’

Bobby, who believed no one, no matter how close they were, thought coldly.

‘After all, the Marquis has a deep resentment with Lisa, so it is difficult to live under the same sky. Besides, Maiena started the riot.’

Maiena once published a newsletter with the provocative title, ‘The Marquis of Abedes, Kneeling to the Streets of Park’ in the newsletter for the commoners.

Moreover, Lisa now had to think in unity with the Duke of Kim.

‘You have to keep fighting and for things to get bigger. If the Marquis of Abedes corners Lisa well, it could become a focal point. In the meantime, there may be opportunities.’

After all, since he was the Crown Prince, he would not be immediately sentenced to death. He carefully followed his thoughts.

When Mino wakes up, he’ll figure it out somehow. If he succeeds, the conflict will deepen as the Marquis of Abedes prevents his extinction, and if it fails…’

Bobby bit his fingernails nervously.

‘…It will really be the end.’

The 912th Swordsmanship Tournament was over, but all those who had time to spare were still staying in the capital.

Especially for those who were interested in swordsmanship, even if they squeezed the time they didn’t have, they remained.

Because there was a friendly match between Kim Taehyung and Park Lisa.

The audience was eagerly anticipating the match between the two, which was happening thanks to the full support of the Emperor.

Bogum’s dove indicated that they both agreed, and the match was scheduled two days after Taehyung and Lisa’s scheduled arrivals.

“Honestly, I think Park Lisa is a genius of misfortune. If it wasn’t for Kim Taehyung, she would have been an unstoppable number one.”

“No matter how many times she lost with Taehyung’s overwhelming victory, the contents of the match itself wasn’t bad. This time as well, the outcome is decided, but I’ll have to wait and see.”

“If Park Lisa had a proper teacher when she was young, it would have been more worth seeing. She has a lot of talent, but surprisingly, when I saw evaluations, her foundation was a bit weak.”

No matter how favorable the evaluation of Lisa was, there was a public opinion that did not fundamentally change.

It was the atmosphere that was sure of the victory for Kim Taehyung.

The place where that atmosphere was exposed was the gambling hall.

The friendly match between Kim Taehyung and Park Lisa wasn’t even worth the gamble.

Because it was clear that anyone would bet on Taehyung’s victory.

Nevertheless, the friendly match kept the capital alive.
