Exiled with a Useless Skill 'Gacha', but It Turns Out to Be a Legendary Pull That Only Summons Gods - All I Get Are Beautiful Goddess! - Chapter 15
To participate in the Martial Arts Tournament, we set out on a journey to the royal capital.
From the frontier city of Frontier to the royal capital, it was a few days’ journey by carriage.
Along the way, at a relay post town, I had the misfortune of bumping into one of the last people I ever wanted to see.
“My, if it isn’t Lord Kai. Where might you be headed in such shabby attire?”
With a flick of her luxurious golden ringlets and a fan hiding her mouth, the woman who spoke to me in that mocking tone was none other than my former fiancée, Alicia von Weiss.
As always, she was flanked by her entourage of noble ladies.
“Alicia.”
Our engagement had been broken off on the day of my exile.
The moment she learned my skill was “Gacha,” she turned on me without hesitation, an image still burned into my mind.
“I’ve heard rumors of your little exploits in the frontier. How terrifying that mere luck could carry someone so far.”
Alicia seemed utterly dismissive of my success.
Worse, she eyed Brunhilde and Freya standing beside me with a calculating gaze before scoffing through her nose.
“My, have you charmed these beautiful goddesses into playing the dashing rogue? I suppose that’s all someone with nothing but a worthless skill like yours can manage. You’ll fall from grace soon enough, I’m sure.”
Her sneer wasn’t just directed at me, it was an insult to my precious comrades.
Rage boiled up from the depths of my gut.
The old me would have silently endured the humiliation.
But I wasn’t that person anymore.
“See you at the tournament, Alicia.”
Without letting my anger show, I spoke those words calmly.
My composed demeanor only seemed to irritate Alicia further.
“W-what is that attitude?! Do you know who I—”
“Do not dare show further disrespect to my lord.”
Before Alicia could finish her hysterical outburst, Brunhilde stepped forward, blocking her path.
The murderous intent radiating from her blue eyes made Alicia let out a short, sharp gasp as she stumbled back.
Brunhilde moved to level the tip of her divine spear at Alicia.
“Stop, Brunhilde.”
I placed a hand on her shoulder, halting her.
“Now isn’t the time. People like her aren’t worth dirtying our spears for.”
“If my lord commands it.”
Though clearly dissatisfied, Brunhilde reluctantly lowered her weapon.
Without so much as a glance at Alicia, I turned and walked away.
Behind me, I could hear the frustrated grinding of Alicia’s teeth.
A few days later, we finally arrived at the royal capital.
Towering walls, bustling crowds, and at the center, the magnificent royal castle.
When I had been exiled, this sight had seemed dull and lifeless. Now, it looked like a stage waiting for my challenge.
After registering for the tournament, I gazed up at the coliseum.
Here, I would prove everything.
To Alicia. To my brother. To my father. To this kingdom that cast me out.
That I wasn’t just some worthless skill holder.
As my fighting spirit burned quietly within me, the tournament matchups were announced.
My first opponent was an active member of the Royal Knights.
And not just any knight, the vice-captain himself, considered one of the favorites to win.
