My Servant System

Chapter 1056: Chapter 1055: Yanzif Arena (3)



Humming, I relented and grabbed a bottle of wine after Leone sheepishly asked for something to drink, the sight of the other two enjoying that bottle of bourbon apparently making the Princess feel left out as she glanced at the wine repeatedly before asking me.

Besides that, I also grabbed the plate of kebabs before taking a seat on her lap once more, serving the Princess the same way Anput was serving Jahi as we all settled in to watch the fight as it began; the three contestants for the woman's hand all turned to face one another instead, leaving her to stand off on the side and watch as the three fighters readied their weapons and stared off at one another, before the silver haired Caninekin lunged towards the shirtless man.

"Ah, and so it begins~! I wonder, do you think this is how some kings and queens and all other sorts of leaders feel - and have felt - whenever they send their people to war? A bit of amusement, pride, enjoyment and so much more swelling up inside you as these 'peons' battle on your whim?"

The silver furred warrior pulled her blade back and twisted her body as she thrusted it towards the man's chest, giving her attack more power and pushing him backwards, towards the blonde who was hoisting his mace and preparing to swing it.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

There was a clear efficiency in her movements as she wasted no time at all in flair or elegance, going for the most power possible with the least amount of energy spent that made it obvious she had experience, and her speed was rather high for someone fighting without the use of

magic.

She obviously had it considering her current physical ability - and the fact that the sword seemed weighted far more than normal since the shield the shirtless gladiator erected in front of him cracked and shattered almost instantly.

That made me more wary of her in terms of betting, since she was able to blast through that earthen barricade and continue pressuring the gladiator, who was now stuck between the adventurer and the guard, both of whom were teaming up on him to get him out of the way first.

However, honestly, I had no actual horse in this race at all, so I was just appraising their techniques and watching the fight as I lazily gnawed on a cube of lamb meat that had been sautéed beautifully in butter and given a light drizzle of a very hot, yet delicious honey sauce that made the wine all the more sweeter as I sipped that next.

"I don't know about that, but I can say living as a queen for a day would feel wonderful, wouldn't it~? But this is nice too; no responsibilities that would sap away all of our time forever and always, so there is that~!"

Lifting up the next kebab, I brought it to Leone's lips and let the Princess take a bite before I took my next one, only to wince slightly as I watched the shirtless, brawny man get clubbed in the back as the blonde took a cheap shot.

He tried to defend himself with a thick sheet of rock acting as armor on his back, but of course a blunt force attack would damage him through that thanks to how energy worked, sending him flying into the guard's blade as she stabbed his shoulder and forced him to yield, adding another scar to his body and causing many in the crowd to let out boo's as they realized that he wasn't as strong as he was advertised to be.

Anput snickered as Jahi's choice was taken out of the running, earning herself a firm spank as the Demoness sent her back to the cart to get something else, while Leone sighed as she said "It's a bit entertaining, but I can't say I really care too much for this fight... and I suspect I won't really care for the next ones either..."

"Oh, I wonder why that might be, hm-? I can take a very good guess on what you will- be caring about between now and then..."

I rolled my eyes at my mate before smirking at her as I teased Leone some more, causing all three of my lovers to roll their eyes back as they watched me do that with various reactions afterwards, but we all turned back to the stage as we heard a loud collective gasp fill the arena.

"Wow. Look at that; little blondie managed to disarm the guard."

Jahi's dull commentary made us all chuckle as the blonde flourished his mace and sent the guard's sword flying, her outstretched arm and stumbling steps forwards making me raise a brow as I watched her closely, wondering how she had gone from being rather in control of herself to bumbling around like an idiot.

I saw why a moment later, the outstretched hand of the downed gladiator clasped around her ankle and causing her to stumble as her momentum was halted somewhat, which she tried to offset by using her arms to stop herself from falling flat on her face, and that was the opening that the young adventurer needed to try and turn the tides in this battle.

Her wrist was clearly broken from the impact of the mace, and I could see it beginning to swell already thanks to the force of the blow; to her credit, the guard didn't let out an agonized shout as she suffered a rather serious injury, and instead she was glaring at the adventurer hatefully as she watched that mace rise up once more.

For her, time likely slowed down to a crawl as she watched that mace travel down towards her skull, but for us it was over in a flash as she raised her buckler and parried the blow, sending the heavy metal weapon into the sand and damaging her other arm, only for her to push through her damage and slap the over excited adventurer with her buckler, knocking him out in a single blow.

"Damn. That was messy, but she pulled through. Are all of your guards this interesting?" The Demoness' indifference was gone as she leaned forwards, replaced instead with curiosity as she leaned forwards and watched as the guard turned and kicked the downed gladiator's chest, forcing him to release her leg and giving her the time to heal herself with her mana, showing another side of her strength as flames licked at her wounds and brought her back to working form.

"Hehe~! You remember those sand worms right? How tenacious those bastards are? They need to be able to handle themselves against one of those, and while we could easily kill one, we also do nothing except train and have sex while they need to worry about making money and supporting themselves the best way they can. So I would say they're pretty damn good~!" "Huh... that makes sense, I guess. Still, you need to be rather tempered in body and mind to ignore a broken wrist and likely a fractured arm and still have the willpower to slap that adventurer in the jaw with a shield... I don't know if that's something that can be taught..." Taking another bite from the kebab, I chewed on the succulent meat before offering it to Leone as I said "I bet she's also being fueled by the desire to look cool in front of her crush over there~! It doesn't look like our guard is that old either, all things considered; she doesn't have that many wrinkles and her hair is silver, not grey. Might just be a genetic quirk and not age. Which brings us back to this being somewhat romantic-!"

Jahi just chuckled at that as she nodded, the Demoness taking a bite from the food Anput offered her on a spoon, the thick soup going down her gullet and turning her cheeks slightly purple as she coughed, all while the Jackalkin snickered as she got up before Jahi could

retaliate.

"And as you can see, the merchant girl seems to be quite taken aback by that display of strength~! Though I really do think this is a forgone conclusion... but perhaps our guard here is going to take it easy on her wife to be and spar her instead of efficiently take her down~?"

Like Anput had said, the black haired, red robed woman down in the arena was staring at the silver haired guard with sparkling eyes, her dark skin making it hard to see if she was blushing, but thankfully Caninekin had a rather easy way to tell if someone was happy or sad, and that was the tail that was currently swishing side to side.

"Aw, all of you Caninekin are so ~ adorable with your wagging tails~! And you're so fluffy too~!"

The Demoness grinned before accepting the next bite of food, not having learned her lesson as Anput retaliated with another spicy dish, but sadly for my mate she was too close to Jahi this time to escape, causing that area of the room to descend into laughter as the Jackalkin was pulled onto her lap and tickled roughly, forcing her to roll into a ball that allowed Jahi to begin playing with her tail instead.
