The Golem Mage

36  Brandonʼs Turn

” I am not interested in working for someone who does not even take this Banquet serious, I seriously donʼt understand why you guys still follow him around, and donʼt ever call me his commander I donʼt work for Alec!!” Agnes said in a fit of anger as she pointed her finger at Arthur

” ohhh this umworthy person have finally shown her real colours, you are nothing but a pussy, you claim you want to lead the Gordons family but the moment you are pushed forward you cower in fear and retaliate against us, excuses!!! , Pathetic!!!” Arthur said back not ready to be outdone by Agnes

” Agnes gritted her teeth, totally clueless on how to respond to Arthurʼs critics without having to fight on the stage

****

” is that him?” someone from the Fridall family asked someone close to him as he was seating in the leader seat also, it was clear he was the Fridall family younger generation leader

” yes Bree, that guy sleeping like there is no care in the world is the one the Blaze elder want dead, he even said if any one is able to kill him, he would take full responsibility and make sure the person does not suffer, but heavily rewarded instead ” the guy seating behind the the Fridall young generation leader said in a whisper

As it was forbidden to kill in the Banquet but with someone from the capital wanting him dead those rules could be changed, after all Fridall was a vassal family and branch for the Blaze family in the capital so when an elder gave them a mission they were ready to carry it out with full effectiveness

” am just worried that the patriarch is going to lose more in this?” Bree Fridall said in annoyance

” well you donʼt have to worry much after all even the patriarch have been promised benefits that might help him advance to the Tier 7 mage realm if we are able to kill Alec, it all his fault for being too impressive ” the guy snorts as he looked at Alec with jealousy as he slept without worrys

” Well I wonder why I have not heard of this guy before? ” Bree asked

” Well you know you have always being planning on achieving the next rank to match with the other guy in the next city making you go into seclusion thatʼs why you are not aware of him after all he just rose to fame recently in a zombie test we never took part of instead those glory would be ours for the taking ” the Fridall guy explain to Bree

” remind me why were we not involved again ” Bree asked again which made the guy next to him to blush In embarrassment

” well we were scared to go to that assessment since you were still in seclusion so most of the clans member decided not to participate, and that was how the opportunity was given to them” the guy said while twisting his words in the end to make it seem like the Gordons stole there achievements when it was them who was scared to even fight the zombies

” Well letʼs just hope this Alec guy is not a let down” bree

****

” I will fight!”

” hmmm!” Arthur exclaim when he noticed that it was the usually quiet Brandon who volunteer to fight, even Agnes was suprised at his boldness

” donʼt even think of disgracing the Gordons family name on the stage!” Agnes snorted

” you donʼt have any right to scold me, you scardy cat if there is anyone to be accused of disgracing the Gordons name now that would be you, for not even daring to fight still yet you claim you want to rival Alec”

” please donʼt make me laugh” Brandon retaliated back surprising Agnes as she was not expecting that type of response from him after all he was the one who talked less

Arthur was pumping his fist in excitement when he heard that Brandon have decided to fight he knew Brandon was more of a lone wolf before but it all changed the moment he started training with Alec

Changing him a that his tongue now had a sharp edge to it every time he spoke, Agnes just snorted as she walked down from the stage not ready to cause more trouble since she was not fighting or she be might reprimand her for obstructing the Banquet matches

She help knight down the stage and pour an healing elixir into his mouth to help accelerate his healing

Brandon got up from his chair and walked down, taking each step slowly making those who were watching him quite anxious

He finally got on the stage and stared at every body sitting in there chairs in there own family angles

” I will take on any challenger who is interested in fighting Alec if you can defeat me you are allowed to fight Arthur the second General of Alec present at the moment” Brandon said playing along with Arthurʼs rubbish

After all every thing Arthur said was something Alec said in a playful manner when he got drunk from one of the wine he scammed out of the patriarch, that ” he considered both him and Arthur his general while Agnes was only a commander at most, while he reserved the captain position for Knight saying, if they got stronger they had a high chance of getting promoted” but Arthur just brought those playing words into the Banquet

And Brandon decided to play along with him after all he promised to follow Alec as he was the next patriarch and was incredible strong and never treated them like trash but as brothers

He had come to feel closure with the few days he stayed with Alec making it easy for him to step up for Alec anytime

” I said all those who are interested in Alec are free to come on stage or did you all got scared?” Brandon questioned with an icy tone as he dropped his big great sword on the flour

Making it insert it self on the stage with a loud THUD sound shocking everyone at the weight of the sword for it to generate tatt much noise from Brandon just dropping it on the floor after all he was holding on to the sword on his back for so long, they could no bring themselves to believe that he was carrying something so heavy for so long

” go and test him out ” Bree said to the guy beside him, which made the guy leap into the stage

” woah who is that guy he has some sick moves” someone asked from the lanzt family area to n one in particular

” of course he does have moves, he is part of the Fridall clan where most of them have violet temper due to there innate element being fire, I think he is felix the violent flame brother ” another person sitting close to hi said

The Fridall guy landed on the stage making Brandon long walked look like total rubbish with his grand entrance he bowed his head and said

” my name is Félix from the Fridall family and I wish to challenge you”

” challenge accepted!” Brandon replied without any delay, but Felix kept waiting until he could not help blurting out his feelings

” are you not going to pick up your sword?” frlix questioned

” ohh, that I wonʼt be needing it to deal with you ” Brandon replied with a sneer

” yo... u..... Thatʼs it you are dead for underestimating a member of the Fridall family” felix said In anger as he could not get over the fact that someone fron the Gordons family looked at him with disdain

When he was the one acting arrogant at the start.
