"Yeah, looking back on this moment in the future, I did not notice the sneaky glint in the King's eyes, or closely paid attention to the actual words of the Decree... I almost became the first person to stab a King with The King's Sword"~Excerpt from Chapter: 30
Chapter 114: Vera Finally Defeats Sam In The Finals? by Harem-Fan
Saturday, a bit before noon...
Today, my entire family has come to watch the last two fights of the day.
The first match will be me vs Vera, then assuming I do not lose, I will have my Death Match with 1st Prince Luke Lukas, my new Brother.
The main difrence in attendance would be... My family is also in the Royal Box with the Royal Family and Evelina. Thankfully the box is large enough to comfortably sit 30 indaviduals, and it is full.
Looking at who has come... The King and his 5 Remaining living Wives (2 that lost their 4th and 5th sons before and normally don't show), Luke, Yasmin, Lane, Ryan, Karen (mistress), Vera, the West Duke, Marquess Colt Olson, Evelina, my Parents, Karl, my Son, Rebeca, Mari, Kayo, Zoe, Freya, Kelly, Kim, and Dial.
Yasmin and Lane are let out of the house arrest because this may be the last time they see Luke alive.
The atmosphere is less exciting and more somber. This is almost a full Box, and servants shuttle to everyone to serve refreshments.
There is three rows of seating, with 10 seats in each row in a tiered elevation.
Right now, only half the guests are sitting, while the others are standing and chatting in small groups.
-
Leonardo is currently talking with his 1st Queen, Luke, Lane, and Yasmin.
"My Son, it is not too late to back out of this dangerous match? No one will say anything if you just concede."
Luke looks over to where Sam is, and felt the magic Longsword on his side called, Heartbreak, and said.
"No need, with the Magic Sealing restrictions on the arena floor, I am confident my skills will prevail. Just keep your word and make me the Crown Prince, but... What about Evil Loli?"
Just at this point, a scary voice came from behind Luke...
"Oh? You think I am shameless enough to hurt you if you kill my Student?"
Naturally everyone that heard Evil's question had only one answer in their hearts... Yes!
"Fear not little brat Luke, I know that this is something that Sam has chosen for himself. Just because I do not like it, I will not harm you over it."
Luke with a charming smile said to them all.
"Perfect, then I can fight with confidence."
Luke's Mother, the 1st Queen, held his arm and said worriedly.
"Dear Son, please just forfeit this match... You have already lost your other Brothers, and I do not want to risk your life. You have so many other wives and lovers counting on you, plus all of your children are depending on you. Yasmin and Lane, say something?!"
The 1st Queen, who is ignorant to her Son's dark-side, was feeling he would lose based on her Husband's confidence in Sam, so her heart is trembling.
Yasmin smiles and tells the 1st Queen.
"Luke is 274 years old, and has vast swordsmanship skill, he will win. The title of Crown Prince is my Husband's (Sam's) goal, so I fully support it."
The King hearing Midnight's words could only smile a bit, while Lane who looked uneasy said.
"Father, Grandmother is right, I feel that Sam is very strong... I do not want to lose you today. If Sam wins, how can I meet him in the future? If you kill him, how will Rosecrans treat me?"
-
My Parents, Rebeca, and Mari are currently talking with me in the corner.
My Mother who is emotional right now, is like the 1st Queen, and asked in a hushed tone.
"My Son, are you sure about this... I am a bit worried. I know your strong, but... What if there are tricks played?"
Rebeca on my left arm, and Mari on my right, are gripping me hard, fearing I may lose. The two pretend to be confident, but as my early wives, they do not want to be widowed today.
Feeling the bracelet Zoe gave me on my left wrist, I told them with confidence.
"I have lifesaving Defensive Magic Items, so tricks will be a bit hard to pull on me. I have been hiding my true Swordsmanship skill during the event, and I was told by the King that my skill is as good or better than Luke's."
I lowered my voice even more and said with a firm tone.
"The path to the Throne is paved with the bodies of the other King Candidates. the 2nd through 5th Princes have all paid this price..."
Rebeca said in my ear softly.
"I do not need you to be a King, Mage, or Hero... Just stay alive for me and Richard... I love you."
-
Vera was sitting with her Mother, looking out at the crowd waiting for her and Sam's match, and Ryan stood in front of her at this time with a frivolous smile.
"Make sure and exhaust all of Sam's Endurance, Aura, and Magic... Then our older Brother will have an easier time killing Sam... Don't you agree Aunt Gale?"
Velvet Gale had a complicated look in her beautiful eyes when she heard the fight between Luke and Sam was life and death.
Part of her doesn't want Sam on the throne, but she knows the heart of Luke. She only wanted her Daughter to rule the Kingdom, but unlike the South, it will never happen. She looked to Ryan and said her true thoughts.
"No, if Vera can beat Sam, he will not fight Luke, and thus save his life. I want Vera to beat him, while his strongest Summons Zoe is unable to battle. With her Archangel, beating only Freya is possible. So Vera needs to win."
Ryan with his arm frivolously moving around Karen's waist, to annoy Gale, said with a shrug.
"Well, when Luke wins, I will be pushed out of the Castle, and Vera will marry out of the Castle, leaving only Luke to rule all. I guess this is our fate. Praise the new future King... Good luck crushing Sam then little Sister... Oh, Your match is starting, you two need to go now... Good luck."
Then Ryan pulled his blushing mistress along to say good luck to Sam, while Gale watched his back, and her fists were tightened.
Hearing his accurate words, Velvet Gale was angered, and she said to the depressed looking Vera.
"Sigh... Vera, I want you to do something, but it is very underhanded, and it is the only way for you to win this ugly battle... So listen to my words, and do not question them."
As Vera listened to her Mother's whisper in her ear, her complicated eyes widened, and then when she looked at her Mother's expressionless face, she said in a disbelieving tone...
"Why you?! You were spying on me?!"
She pointed to her pocket, and said.
"When you want to hide notes, put them inside a storage item, not in your pockets, sigh... Just do what I said, and tell no one it was me who told you to pull this move... If you do not listen to me, you will join your other siblings in the path to the Throne. Now go and fight..."
"Thank you..."
Gale closed her eyes, a bit unhappy.
-
As noon was nearing, I climbed the main stage to fight Vera.
Vera who came to the stage first, had her 15 foot tall Gold Golem, Doll, and her 7 foot tall Archangel, Plume, standing behind herself.
Vera had her arms crossed under her well-developed chest, and she squinted her eyes at me.
I had the King's Sword on my left hip, and only Freya accompanied me onto the stage, because Zoe was indeed a bit to pregnant to fight.
While sighing in my heart, I said to Vera.
"Glad you made it to the Final Battle this year. I was impressed with your fights."
Vera lifted the corner of her lips and said with some amusement.
"So, what chance do you think you have against me right now, without Zoe?"
I look at Plume and know she is powerful, because she like Freya is an 8th Circle Mage, but also a Strong and Vanguard strength Monster. Then I looked at Doll with his white glowing eyes, staring me down, and I said honestly.
"If I fight fast and do not hold back... I have a 70% confidence to win, without Zoe."
Vera nodded and said or asked.
"Then I have a 30% chance to end your path forward, and keep you off the Throne, right?"
I nodded, and she smiled feeling she is stronger than last year, and asked again.
"If you defeat me, what is the chance of beating my older Brother in the duel?"
I draw out the King's Sword, and held it upward in-front of my face, readying to fight, and said confidently.
"No problem, you are my only obstacle now, so are you ready, Vera?"
Vera just gave me a winning smile, and called to the Referee, and walked to him. She whispered something, and handed him a note.
The Referee looked at it, and then said something in a whisper.
Vera then walked in front of me again, and looked up to the Royal Box, and said loudly.
"Father, before I start my match, I have something to tell you..."
-
Leonardo heard Vera's words, and a glint flashed in his eyes as he stood to walk to the balcony edge.
Velvet Gale, Ryan Lucas (soon to be Ronald), and Yasmin Lucas all looked to Luke's face, because they want to see his expression for what will happen next.
These three and the King all had the same goal, and none of them knew they had been on the same team all along.
He magnified his voice with Aura, and responded to his Daughter, with a bit of excitement. His plans have finally worked after a year...

[What is going on?]

Vera said to her Father, while pointing to me.
"I choose Sam Roland to become my Husband, and I want you to marry us right here and now. Referee, please read the Decree from last year..."
The Referee looked nervous to do it, and looked up to the King. The King who kept a straight face, said to him.
[Go ahead...]
The poor guy held up the note, and read it word for word...
[King Leonardo Stephan Lucas' Decree: As long as the 7th Princess finds a man she likes before she graduates from Rosecrans Academy, no matter who, the kingdom will support it, but... If the Princess fails to marry by this time, the discussion to marry will fall upon her Mother the 7th Queen, and she must marry any candidate chosen, including foreign suitors. This is Decreed.]
He then held up the note for the magic display to see.
-
General Donald in the crowd looked to his Son Chuck and asked.
"Why does that look like your chicken scratch handwriting?"
"No clue, never saw it, hehe."
-
I stood there in a daze, and looked at Vera with a bit of surprise, and had already lowered the sword to my side, and looked at the note in the sky. I had a feeling I had seen that handwriting before, and know it is not Vera's perfect handwriting.
[I remember that decree from last years tournament, the one that Sam Roland requested... Vera Lucas, is this what you want?]
Vera said with confidence.
"That is right, I want him as my Prince, and I want it now with everyone as my witness, and no other man will do. The Kingdom must uphold the law."
Just as I opened my mouth.
"Vera-"
"This is a decree Sam, you cannot disobey it, unless you want to commit treason. I will ask you only one thing, and in front of everyone, answer honestly... Do you love me? If you say no, I will retract my request and marry Vasco Nano instead?"
"I do, but are-"
Then Vera cut me off and said to her Father.
"Okay, do it then."
Leonardo, finally happy with Vera taking the lead, just rushed to decree her decision before I could question anything.
[With the Decree, and the permission of Sam Roland's parents, I King Leonardo Stephan Lucas uphold the agreement, and witness the marriage of 7th Princess Vera Lucas, and Sir Sam Roland... Congratulations. Now will everyone cheer for our new 7th Prince and his Wife!]
Everyone was in shock and stood, and a deafening cheer shook the whole place.
Most everyone in the Royal box looked thrilled, but Luke.
Mwah! And suddenly, Vera pounced into my arms, and I hold her waist with my left arm, while her inexperienced kiss tried to suck me in.
While Vera was kissing me roughly, I heard Freya's voice behind us.
"It took you two a while, but after a long year, it finally happened, congratulations, Sister Vera."
Vera hearing Freya, stopped the kiss, and her misty eyes looked at me and said softly.
"Husband, make me your Queen and not your Widow, please win for our future. And I am sorry it took me so long. I love you as well."
I dropped the King Sword to my side, and hugged her, with my heart both happy and in confusion. Vera could feel my emotions through our hug, and she whispered.
"Defeat Luke, and come to my bedroom tonight, Husband... I want you very much..."
While her bold words surprised me, her next words also did.
"Referee, I concede my match with 7th Prince Sam."
The Knight was happy to see this strange ending, and he joked with the announcement...
[The Fall Tournament winner is 7th Prince, Sam Rolland, by Marriage!]
And under the loud crowd's congratulations and cheers, Vera and I kissed again, trading our heartfelt feelings over this long period of chasing and retreating.
She stopped the kiss and joked.
"Sam, I finally defeated you at something, haha."
