Devil’s Son-in-Law

learn from them in many aspects.

In terms of strength and background, the Loman Family was originally a small family in the empire.
Relying on the great efforts of recent generations, the power had gradually increased.
It had gradually entered the upper level of the empire.
After Paul became the most famous swordmaster among humans and the apprentice of the Holy Light Mountain Paladin Captain Parsali, his influence and power further expanded.
In addition to his recent marriage contract with the Philip Family, many butterfly effects had occurred.
The former Academic Affairs Department’s director, Old Lyon, submitted his resignation to Lex the Great several times due to his age.
Rumors said that he finally got the approval of Lex the Great not long ago.
The new Academic Affairs Department director would be elected among the 3 deputy directors, of which Paul’s father, Salvador, got the most support.
It was said that when Salvador accompanied Lex the Great to inspect the Star Dragon College last week, Lex the Great personally revealed this intention.
Although the formal appointment letter had not arrived yet, many people in the Academic Affairs Department had begun to curry favor with the future deputy director.

Chen Rui followed Paul to the Loman Family’s mansion just in time to see Salvador, who was personally sending a few people out of the gate.
When these people saw Paul, they all smiled, and some bowed.
Paul recognized the leader as the patriarch of the Lincoln Family who was once a former competitor of the Loman Family.
In recent years, as the power of the Loman Family had grown, the Lincoln Family had begun to change its strategy to form a good relationship with the Loman Family.

Now that Paul’s participation in the Divinity Temple Knight selection was imminent and the wedding date was approaching, the Lincoln Family Patriarch personally sent his second son, Diego, to the Loman Family to become a subordinate of Paul.
This symbolized that the Lincoln Family would completely surrender to the Loman Family.
Salvador would naturally not refuse, and he had already agreed on behalf of his son.

Paul thought for a while and did not express any objection.
Although the emergence of this ‘competitor’ was a bit unexpected, Chen Rui did not take it seriously.
His ‘beast taming skill’ and ‘soul language’ were highly valued by Eliza, and his ‘loyalty’ to Paul had been tested.
To say the least, whether this subordinate would stay with Paul after the duel was still a question.

Seeing Chen Rui’s calm look, Paul nodded approvingly.
As a powerhouse, he would definitely have more than 1 subordinate in the future, but subordinates were also divided into excellent and bad qualities.
Compared with Diego with a hint of impetuous in his eyes, the ability and loyalty of ‘Richard’ were obviously more trustworthy.

The Philip Family and Kemplot Family did not seem to have any movement.
There was no news of Samuel or Joanna as well.
Paul was more confident in his heart.
In the following days, he either participated frequently in various socializing or led Chen Rui and Diego to show off in the capital; Chen Rui had the chance to witness Yerodisha’s prosperity.

3 days later, the date for the duel finally arrived.

The location of the duel was in the capital’s largest royal arena.
The reputation of Paul’s top genius swordsman was very widespread in Yerodisha.
Furthermore, the Dragon Bright Empire Lex the Great personally hosted it this time.
The upper noble families were all present.
In addition to the civilians who were here to join in the fun, the huge arena was packed.

Paul’s appearance was very ideal.
He wore a dazzling blue gem armor and a silver cloak today.
The entire person looked dazzling and attracted the attention of many people.
When he walked elegantly into the arena, many noble families’ young ladies and women screamed in high pitch one after another.

Gossip related to this duel was also circulating in the crowd.
For instance, in the ‘triangular relationship’ between Joanna, Samuel, and Paul, Samuel lost his fiance in the duel back then, and so on.
Before the duel started, the entire scene was already quite vibrant.

Chen Rui was in Paul’s ‘friends and relatives group’ which was located just opposite the VIP seat.
Although it was far away, he could clearly see the scene of the opposite VIP seat with his vision.

1 of the 2 great kings of the humans, Lex.
Roland sat in the very center of the VIP seat.

Lex wore a pale gold robe with a crown on his head and a staff in his hand.
He was about 35 years old.
He was handsome and had a beard which was full of the charm of a mature man.
Arthur’s outline was faintly visible on his facial features, and his eyes were flashing with a supreme deterrence.

After seeing Lex’s face clearly, Chen Rui’s heartbeat accelerated a lot.
There was a strange feeling of intimacy in his heart which originated from the fusion memory.
In the memory, the king seemed to be a doting father, at least, he used to be.

There was a young man with silver hair and golden pupils beside Lex with a casual expression.
Judging from the position of the seat beside the king, this person’s status should be very special.
This young man faintly gave Chen Rui a dangerous feeling.
It was like seeing Raizen in the Bloody Empire back then.
At that time, Chen Rui was only at the level of the Demon Emperor.

Perhaps the young man had noticed the peeping, so he glanced over.
Chen Rui immediately retracted his gaze, then he shouted and cheered along with Diego for Paul.
After the young man looked for a while and found no abnormalities, he turned his head again.

Chen Rui was secretly vigilant.
Just in case, he didn’t dare to look at the young man again.
However, a special feeling in his heart became stronger as if something was attracting him.
His eyes moved involuntarily to the side, and they were finally fixed on the person on the left of Lex.

This was a woman with short golden brown hair and deep beautiful blue eyes.
She was sitting next to a man.
In contrast to the exposed sexy outfits of other noble families, she was wrapped in a tight robe and wore a veil.

At the moment Chen Rui saw this woman, he felt that the frequency of his heartbeat like never before.
With his will and power at the moment, he was actually unable to restrain it.

This was the throbbing of ‘Arthur’.
For the first time, it was so strong.

TL: Is she Arthur’s first love?
