Part 434: Lon'Qu B

Here, Gregor. Catch.

Oh? Is little bag of coins. You give Gregor pocket money?

You said a sellsword never fights unless it's for money, right? Well, there's your money. Now I order you to fight me for true.

Oy, you know how to persuade Gregor. Jingly coins is like music in his ears. But please, tell Gregor why you are wanting to fight him so badly. You are thinking is first stage in defeating Basilio, yes?

When I paid your fee, I don't remember asking you to prattle on like a hen.

Oy, this one is being strict paymaster. Okay, we fight. But first, conditions! We are being comrades in same army, so no fighting "until death." "Until death" makes many people very sad. Especially ladies.

We will stop when one of us yields or overwhelming victory is assured.

Agreed. Now, when we are beginning?

No time like the present...

Ho! ...Okay. Gregor win.

What?

Oh? You do not notice? Look at chest. See? Gregor's sword is already poised to thrust.

H-how did you-

Ah, yes. Gregor sees chink in armor. Here, at throat.

Mngh!

Don't move. If sneezing even tiny bit, sword goes into neck. Very messy. This counts as "overwhelming victory assurance," yes?

Damn you... You only won through trickery!

Is no trick! Is speed! Is also why Basilio so much stronger than Lon'qu.

Curse you...

Lon'qu is young fool now, but Gregor sees much potential. You will learn.
