I guess I will be the one who will clean his mess up. I took a good look at Xion and decided to give him A+ level of embarrassment. The main reason I did not want to kill this man right off the bat was that it was just too much trouble for me. Even though I am the son in law of the emperor and have a chance at being the emperor, it is still one of the most powerful families in the empire I am going against.
"Hey, I am talking to you" He said
"I know, I am ignoring you" I said while trying to walk away.
"Wait, How about we make a bet?" He said trying to stop me from revealing my talent.
"*Sigh*, Dude what's your problem? Are you ok in the head or did your mom drop you when you were a baby? Do you not realize that you are trying to stop a religious activity which was ordered by the emperor? You indirectly offended both the emperor and Draconica." I said while looking at him.
"Looks like old habits don't die, you are still the whiny kid who hides behind the emperor. Let's be honest you just don't want to make a bet with me because you are afraid you will lose" Xion said trying to get a raise out of me which he succeeded, hey before you judge me and all. I am a person who has awakened the most broken power in question, and I will not let this weak water bubble insult me.
"Ok, What is our bet? But make sure that it is something that I will be truly either pissed with or have a desire for" I said looking at him with a serious expression.
"The bet is simple, you have to awaken a power that is same or higher rank than you father" He said and continued "If you win I will give you 15 thousand gold coins while if I win you have to publicly strip naked and walk home" The crowd gasped at this, what the fuck was the bet.
"What the hell is the young master from the eleart family thinking?"
"This is too much to accept even for 15 thousand gold coins"
I simply ignored this and walked away to get my power tested.
"How about I raise the price if I lose I will give you the sword of Peace?" Xion said, trying to stop me and make me agree to the bet. He did not succeed who wanted a broken old antic anyways, even if it is a sword that once made the empire what it is. It was a sword that was personally made by the first emperor with which he "allegedly" fought a dragon for 7 days and nights for this territory. Eventually, they made a pact which was lost to history but the empire was founded on the ground thus the name sword of peace.
"If you win, I will let you have my fiance" Xion said in a hurry, hearing this I stopped and turned to look at him with an unbelieving expression.
"Haha, I am sorry but what was that?" I asked, digging into my ear and then paying attention. Xion gritted his teeth and said
"If you win I will give you my fiance" My face twisted in disgust. The crowd reacted with shock and astonishment, but not much of disgust since this was normal in this era. For me, someone who is from modern times it was quite disgusting but it is not for the fact that he offered his girlfriend to me since there are couples that are into that. It is the fact that he used his girlfriend as an object.
"Change the terms, if I win you will break your engagement with her. Let her have her freedom from a disgusting creature like you" I said with the most amount of restraint I can.
"Fine, Deal" He said, I did not give a shit about the audience reaction and went to touch the stone. I extended my hand and felt the smooth surface of the stone, immediately the stone glowed a golden color. It means that I have an emperor rank ability, this is probably my omniscient's eye it is evaluating. I quickly took my hand off and prevented it from detecting my unique power.
"Now, I hope you can keep your promise" I said and left the arena before anyone could recover from the shock. I got onto the carriage as I heard the crowd go wild and exited the arena by noon of that day. I look out the window and say "A storm is going to hit the country, and we will be in the center of it all Alfred." I saw the elderly man nod and left in silence.
