"Now then… entertain me."
Alden sighed.
If the guy wasn't an emperor or someone at the Overlord rank, he would have probably cursed a dozen of times by now.
But he knew he couldn't.
So, he focused on his opponents.
The attention seeking prince of the Sylvenia. The guy wasn't respected much in his homeland due to being a swordsman… so when he suddenly got too much of it in the Empire, it went straight to his head.
His rank was Intermediate Adept Rank.
With Alden being a minor rank higher. But with [Monarch of Mana] suppressing his mana fluctuations, he appeared similar to Zarien on the surface.
So yeah, he had an obvious advantage in this fight.
Not that he would've lost otherwise.
Alden was confident he could've defeated Zarien even back when he was just at Apprentice Rank.
The reason was simple.
The so-called Future Swordmaster of Sylvenia hadn't grown into that title yet.
Right now, he was just an arrogant brat.
