Chapter 705: The Fight for Time 5

“Who is that child?”

“She is so bright and cute . ”

Jo Mimi and Ja-hye, who were provided food by the guards, were confused when they found Karen .

It was because she was a child who wasn’t at the party when they started .

Unlike those who seemed suspicious, Erwin understood it .

“She is Princess Karen . She is Your Majesty’s daughter . ”

“Your Majesty’s daughter?”

The two of them seemed visibly shocked .

They did hear the news that Luke was already married in their home nations .

However, after they came to Symphonia, they didn’t see the queen .

What was even odder was that most people in the palace were even unaware of the existence of a queen .

And Prime Minister Hans explained it .

“The queen’s mother is in poor health, so she is taking care of her at her own home . In addition, Your Majesty has too many enemies, so he is trying to keep his family under the radar and avoid any misfortunes to happen to them . ”

It sounded plausible, but something still seemed suspicious .

Then they saw Luke’s daughter . That too when they were supposed to infiltrate the enemy camp .

“I didn’t know that he had a girl that old . ”

“Maybe he married early . ”

“Then, if we become His Majesty’s companion in the future, will we have to become the mother of that child?”

“Hu, hu, hu, I need to do well in the future . ”

Erwin smiled thinly as she heard the conversation between the two . It was because she was confident that people wouldn’t think that Karen was adopted .

Luke and Karen looked way too similar, and she even believed that she was indeed her daughter .

‘There seems to be something…’

According to what Erwin observed, Luke and Hwang Bo-sung seemed to know Karen’s true identity .

But they never spoke about it .

It was like saying that the truth would result in a bad thing to happen .

“But doesn’t it look like they are arguing about something?”

“Right . What happened?”

As the princesses were talking, Karen and Luke did seem to be arguing .

“I hate it . I don’t want to do it . ”

“Listen to your dad . We aren’t going anywhere right now . ”

“I know . But you are going over to the Imperial Palace in Nemesis to stop Rudolf from using the ruins . ”

‘Ruins?’

Those who were eavesdropping on their conversation like Erwin and the two princesses seemed puzzled .

As they knew, Luke declared war on the Baroque Empire, and it was because Rudolf tried to weaponize a notorious plague, Vers .

The reason the new group was organized and moved in a separate way was to remove the pathogen before the Imperial troops used them .

‘Are they using the Vers in that site?’

Luke glanced over at Erwin’s group and then looked back to Karen .

“This is war . It isn’t right for a child to be in here . ”

“I am not a child!”

As Karen shouted, Luke realized who she was .

She was the genius mage who was regarded as the only hope of the future that was destroyed by the undead . A world that didn’t exist anymore .

Although she lost her original strength was lost and her body was changed into a child-like figure all because she went against Time and Space, she still had the experience and sense .

And after coming into the new future, the Aether in her body must have recovered to some extent .

“It isn’t as good as before, but I am better than you dad . ”

“That joke is pretty hard on my ears . ”

Luke’s face hardened at Karen’s words .

Rather than apologizing, Karen was taunting Luke .

“You just don’t want to admit it . But dad’s magic and sword skills are outdated . ”

“What was that? Outdated?”

“Yes, like a generation ago!”

Well, from Karen’s point of view, it really was a generation old .

The one who was saying that was the very child who learned and used the legacy left behind by Luke .

‘This!’

Hwang Bo-sung hesitated whether or not to stop the two, who were fighting, but he couldn’t do it .

It was because the voice at which Karen was speaking was something he could never do .

Karen was a genius among geniuses, and she had mastered magic and swordsmanship, and also Divine power .

But for Hwang Bo-sung, Luke was no less than her .

No, after Karen entered time, he went along with Luke to the Southern Continent for an expedition, and his skills seemed to have improved even more .

In addition, it wasn’t told to the other people, but just recently, Luke had started to learn the vision of the warrior, Heechang, from the ancient records he brought from the Southern Continent .

In front of him, Karen was hurting his pride!

“Even if it is outdated, it is up to me whether to use it or not . ”

“People who can’t keep up with time often say the same excuses”

“Because of the contribution of the old generation, the new generation are able to pioneer their own paths . ”

“Words of a true old man . I thought my dad was smarter than this . ”

As Karen kept talking back and forth, Luke’s patience reached its limit .

He knew that everyone was trying to help him .

However, he didn’t want his own daughter, who had already seen the grim world and suffered severely for intervening with time, to get involved in any more dangerous things .

‘There is a limit as to how much one can belittle me . Am I not good enough compared to the time I was called the Devil King? Outdated?’

Luke’s pride was extremely hurt .

Only a few people knew he was the Devil King, Saymo,n or the Black Sage, who terrified the continent 500 years ago .

Reina and Karen didn’t know about it .

They didn’t know, so rebelling against Luke like this seemed alright, but it didn’t feel right for his own child to overthrow everything that her father was .

“It wasn’t enough that your mom is already upset with you . Now you are looking down at your father… Our princess offended quite a few people . ”

“Dad will also have to realize . If you try to do everything on your own, even the elaborate tower will collapse one day . ”

Woong!

Strong energy was released from Luke who had a smile on his face and Karen who seemed sulky .

The Aether Globes in the hearts of the two began to pulsate .

When the two suddenly looked like they wanted to duel, Hwang Bo-sung held them back .

“Your Majesty, you shouldn’t so that! Please step back!”

“Get out of my way! I need to get rid of that tomboy attitude she is developing these days!”

“Don’t bother, Uncle Hwang Bo-sung!”

Frighteningly, the two disappeared in front of Hwang Bo-sung .

They didn’t go too far .

The two of them appeared in the sky right above the camp and pulled out their weapons .

“If you lose to me, you go to your mother right away . ”

“If dad loses to me, he needs to take me along with him . ”

And with that, their conversation ended .

The two of them began to attack each other with the speed of lightning .

When Luke used Dark Bullets, Karen would set off everything with Holy Bullets .

Luke narrowed the distance between them using Blink . He then used Gold Sword . Karen too would create an aura to bounce off the attack from her hair ribbon .

Kang!

The moment both of their attacks collided, gold sparks would splatter .

“Huh, that was pretty good . ”

“Did you think I came here to play?”

From Karen’s ribbon, an aura rose like a whip .

The aura drove toward Luke like a violent viper .

‘The Southern Continent’s sword? No, this is the change of the Gold Sword from the Southern Continent . ’

Yeon Gu-ram’s Gold Light God Sword .

That too the second half .

It wasn’t known where she learned it, but Karen had refined it and changed it to suit her own combat style, just as Luke did .

‘Marvelous . She is my daughter after all . ’

Luke, who felt a little good, concentrated on stopping Karen’s attacks .

Hwang Bo-sung who was watching their battle clicked his tongue .

“Tch, how are they…”

“It is because they are very much alike . ”

Erwin responded as she went close to him .

It seemed like it wasn’t just their appearance, but their personalities and abilities were similar as well .

Unlike Hwang Bo-sung who was shaking his head and sighing, she smiled .

Even though they were arguing, they felt like they were developing a very good relationship .
