The Wish of The Dragon

Chapter 36

Ramius - No it's not! You were supposed to return to the capital, so why are you here?

Riche - Oh, um... Well, I did. But after I told the Knights what I knew, I had nothing to do, so I came over to visit.

Ramius - ...Is that true?

Riche - Yep, all true. The Knights are already scrambling all over the place.

Ramius - Hrrm...

Issei - *Sigh* Whatever the reason is at least she came to congratulate us...

Ramius - You're too nice, Ise... So what are you really after, Riche?

Riche - Oh wow, you saw right through me.

Ramius - I've known you long enough at this point.

Ramius shrugged, to which Riche shamelessly smiled. Issei's has a tick mark on his head hearing that...

Riche realized Issei's irritation so she knows she better not tease them anymore and tell them the real reason why she came here.

Riche - *G-Gohon* So actually, I came to give Issei an offer.

Issei - What?

Riche - So the thing is you know I'm a princess, because of that I've got the authority to personally appoint a Knight. So I want to offer you that since you want to become a Knight right?

Ramius - If you have a high enough status, like a marquess or greater, you're allowed to appoint them you see.

Riche - So wanna give it a try?

Issei - ...What's the catch?

Riche - Nothing. I've known your strength and your personality so I know you can easily pass the test. If I could I would have already promoted you myself but there are rules so I can't...

Ramius - Umu. Appointments by individuals are special cases but are not exempt from the rules. But indeed with Ise's talent, he can easily become a <Zero Knight> much less a normal Knight. He already defeated my brother you see... Even without breaking a sweat too at that.

Riche - EHHHHHH?! YOU CAN DEFEAT ACHEVAL?!

Riche becomes wide-eyed knowing Issei able to defeat 1 of the strongest Zero Knight of Eden Kingdom.

She knows Issei is strong but not to this extent...

Issei - Hm? Yeah, I fought him because it's a test from him. He said if I wanted his approval on marrying Ramius I need to fight him, so I did.

Ramius - ...Well, it wasn't really a fight since Ise never launch an attack of his own towards Aniue... Ise only blocks all of Aniue attacks you see...

Riche becomes totally at loss for words... A guy she just met a few days ago already have a strength strong enough to easily defeat a <Zero Knight> without breaking a sweat at that too if she might add.

Knight is a prestigious position, so just becoming one does wonder for your personal record. But if nobles could just appoint unqualified family members, it'd harm the prestige of Knights as a whole.

Like it or not Issei need to take a test that only Soldiers can take to become a Knight.

Now she's really jealous Ramius to have such a perfect husband... Strong, handsome, caring, kind...

Riche - I-I see...

She can only wryly smile once more.

Ramius - Hm... But I'm under the impression the test is over though? Aniue told us stuff happened.
