“Sigren, that illegitimate bastard
!”
That kid was the one who brought the troops.
Sigren broke the iron bars and drew his sword towards the writhing monster. It would be dangerous if the monster went out of the cage, so he would take care of it first.
“There! Catch them too!
Someone shouted and pointed to Enoch and Cruz.
For a moment, Enoch agonized over whether or not to reveal his identity. However, a crown prince who was caught at the scene of a raid on an illegal arena was not good at all. Besides, Sigren was also here.
‘Is this all his intentions?’
Enoch came to that conclusion, forgetting that he had come to the illegal arena on his own feet.
“I’ve been played by that lowly illegitimate bastard!”
As Enoch was running rampant, an idea came to him when he saw Sigren fighting the monster.
‘As long as I was not caught here!’
After all, he is the crown prince. Unless he was caught on the spot, No one fared to question him.
Enoch grabbed Cruz on the collar.
“Why, why are you like this, your highness?”
“Give me the key!”
“The.., the key?”
“The key to the cages that locked up the caught monsters!”
Cruz hurriedly took out the entire keyrings from his bosom after seeing the vicious spirit of the crown prince Enoch.
“He.., here it is!”
Enoch quickly snatched the keys. He hurriedly went to the back of the arena. The knights chased after them, but they were able to run away from the audience seat because many people run away all over the palace in hurry, hindering the knights.
Enoch ran to the place where the monsters were confined. Several monsters were trapped in a huge prison, locked in solid iron bars. The prison has a separate space for people to open the iron door that led to the arena. Most of the monsters were intermediate, but there was also one more new species that has been recently caught from the dead land. Unlike the mid-level monsters that were running wild, this one was observing Enoch with its flashing red eyes. It was the one that Enoch spent a lot of money on. Originally he intended to use it as the arena’s biggest event. But in the end, it had to be repurposed.
“You want to be free right?”
Enoch smiled and put the key in the keyhole. This was perfect for stalling the time. Also, Sigren was the only one in the arena now. What would happen if he released these monsters in a place like that?
“Go and run!”
There was even a slight madness in those monsters’ eyes.
“Go and eat that bastard!”
Suddenly, the door opened.

Sigren looked at the monster in front of him with emotionless eyes. The monster that had been running wild was exhaling a rough breath. Blood from its wounds soaked the floor of the arena.
‘It’s a monster that has gone mad.’
It was definitely much stronger than the normal monsters. If it had been released by mistake, there would have been many casualties.
‘Fiona was right to rush the operation.’
As soon as Sigren lifted the sword to take its last breath, he felt something approaching.
The monster breathed heavily and
 Kieekk!! There were shrieks crying. Then with all its might, it crashed itself into the iron bars. One step later, Sigren took its breath.
“Shit.”
The iron bars of the arena, which had barely endured, finally collapsed.
“Sigren, watch out!” Fiona exclaimed. At the same time, monsters poured out through the passageway connected to the arena.
Sigren looked at the monster’s corpse and shouted.
“Everyone ready for battle!”
The sudden change of circumstances made the people inside the stadium even more chaotic. And Fiona, who was rather small, was hit by people and fell down.
“Fiona!”
Sigren hurriedly approached Fiona.
“You okay?”
Fiona got up with his support.
“Okay—ah.”
“Are you hurt?”
She glanced down at her foot. It wasn’t sprained, someone just kicked her foot.
“It’s alright, just go.”
Fiona nudge Sigren. Her ankles were a bit swollen, but it wasn’t a life-threatening injury.
Sigren frowned lightly.
“That won’t do.”
“No, I’m really okay, —ah!”
He lifted her up.
Fiona subconsciously wrapped her arms around SIgren’s neck.
“What do you do if your men are in danger?”
“If they can’t handle that much, they should just drop their knighthood.”
Fiona slapped Sigren on the shoulder on the behalve those poor knights. Though, of course, it was nothing for him.
“I said I’m fine.”
“It’s me who’s not okay.”
“
”
Fiona sighed and looked around. As Sigren said, the knights were holding up well. They didn’t seem in difficulty catching intermediate monsters.
“Rolling on the ground everyday is worthwhile
.”
However, the newly monster did not run wild. It was cautious as if trying to grasp the situation.
“Isn’t it the same species that you killed earlier?”
“Yeah, i think they caught two.”
It moved as if its intelligence increased due to being in a rage. Perhaps because of the mood, Fiona felt like her eyes met that its eyes.
And that moment.
“Ah? Why is it trying to come here?” Fiona grabbed Sigren’s collar, frustrated.
The monster suddenly scratched the ground, and took a pose as if it was going to plow at any moment.
“It instinctively aimed at the weak side.”
“How can you calmly explain in this situation?!”
‘After all, it’s aiming me because I’m injured!’
Sigren smiled briefly seeing Fiona frustrating in his arms, then he lowered his head and kissed her forehead lightly.
Fiona touched her own forehead and made her more flustered.
“Hey, how could you in this kind of situation
.”
“I like to see you panicking.”
Sigren the put Fiona down where she could sit.
“Should I help?”
“Just sit here.”
“I think it’s dangerous.”
“You worry too much.”
Fiona rolled her eyes. It was a courtesy. She knew he was strong, she was very confident of that fact.
Sigren drew his sword, then lightly stroked fiona’s hair for the last time.
“If you’re really worried, give me a kiss.” Sigren whispered softly in Fiona’s ear, a suggestion that could cheer him up more.
“
.”
‘He’s enjoying his life these days right? Right?’
Eventually, Fiona slapped Sigren on the shoulder and shouted sulky.
“Hurry up and come back quickly!”
