For a moment, the world held its breath.
And then—
BOOOOOM!!!
Maximus, the Royal Knight Commander, brandished his sword, which was far larger than any double-edged blade but still couldn't compare to a greatsword.
After receiving confirmation from the king for the order given by the queen, he dashed toward the boy who had caused so much chaos and had even killed the duke's eldest son. The boy looked quite strong—maybe as strong as Maximus himself—so teaming up with William Arselin had seemed like a great idea. He was sure they would kill the boy and end everything once and for all.
He was moving at full speed, sword in a firm grip, just as he reached only a meter away from William.
BOOOM!
A strong force struck him. He didn't understand for a while. His body was flying. A terrified look formed on his face.
