Chapter 466:I Accept It But..

For a moment, the entire courtyard became quiet.

The priest paused in the middle of the ceremony while holding the ritual book in his hands. Many of the guests slowly turned their heads toward Garet and the two nobles standing behind him.

Some nobles exchanged knowing looks with faint smiles. Others leaned slightly forward in their seats because they did not want to miss what was about to happen.

Everyone could feel that trouble had arrived.

Amber’s fingers tightened slightly around Ethan’s hand.Her eyes immediately turned sharp as she stared at Garet.

“They came here to cause trouble,” she whispered quietly under her breath.

Ethan heard her clearly, but he did not react outwardly.

Instead, he remained calm and relaxed.

Garet stood there with a faint smile on his face while Hamel and Pentos remained slightly behind him. The three of them looked completely relaxed, but the intention behind their words was obvious to everyone present.

Several soldiers standing around the courtyard frowned when they heard their words.

One of them muttered quietly while gripping his mug.

“These bastards came here to ruin the wedding.”

Another soldier clenched his jaw but remained silent because nobles were involved and they could not interfere.

Meanwhile, Duke Lancelot watched the entire scene from his seat without moving.His expression remained calm, but his eyes had already grown colder.

He did not say anything.

Instead, he simply observed quietly.

He wanted to see how Ethan would deal with the situation.

Ethan slowly turned his head and looked at Garet.

For a brief moment, his gaze moved across the three nobles standing there.

Pentos Ambrose.

Hamel Cravik.

Garet Halcrest.

Three names from powerful families in the empire.

Three men who had once tried to pursue Amber.And now they had come here together on the day of his wedding.

Ethan let out a slow breath and smiled faintly.

“You came to learn from me?” he asked calmly.

“Yes,” Garet replied with a polite smile.

“My friends and I have long admired your strength.”

“Especially the story about defeating the Empire’s main knight order.”

His tone sounded respectful, but the sarcasm behind his words was very clear.

A few nobles sitting among the guests quietly chuckled.

They understood exactly what was happening.

This was a challenge.

And it was a very public one.

Amber immediately stepped forward slightly.

“This is my wedding,” she said coldly while looking directly at them.

“If you came here to cause trouble, you can leave right now.”

Hamel’s lips curved into a mocking smile.

“Lady Amber, please do not misunderstand.”

“We only wish to witness the strength of the man you chose.”

Pentos also spoke calmly while folding his hands behind his back.

“If Marquise Ethan truly possesses such legendary strength, then a small demonstration should not be a problem.”

The courtyard became even quieter.

Many guests began whispering again while watching carefully.

“If Lord Ethan refuses, it will look bad.”

“But if he accepts, they will surely try to embarrass him.”

“Those three are not weak either.”

Several soldiers frowned while watching the nobles.

Amber’s expression grew colder and colder.But before she could say anything again, Ethan gently squeezed her hand.

He stepped forward calmly.

His expression did not show any anger or irritation.Instead, he simply looked at the three men standing before him.

“Today is my wedding day,” Ethan said calmly.

His voice was steady and clear.

“I do not intend to turn it into a duel arena.”

Garet’s smile widened slightly.

“Of course.”

“We understand.”

“But surely a small exchange would not ruin such a joyful occasion.”

Hamel crossed his arms and tilted his head slightly.

“Unless…”

He paused deliberately before finishing his sentence.

“Unless the rumors about your strength were exaggerated.”

A few nobles quietly laughed when they heard that.

The tension in the courtyard grew heavier.Amber’s eyes flashed with anger.

But Ethan remained calm.He looked at the three men quietly for a moment.Then he slowly spoke again.”You traveled all the way here just to test me?”

Garet nodded slightly.

“That is correct.”

Ethan rubbed his chin briefly as if he was thinking about it carefully.

Then he suddenly smiled.

“Fine.”

The single word caused the entire courtyard to stir.

Amber immediately turned toward him in surprise.

“Ethan—”

But he gently raised his hand to stop her.

“It’s alright,” he said softly.

Then he looked at the three nobles again.

“If you wish to learn from me,” Ethan said calmly, “I will not refuse.”

“But there is one condition.”

Garet raised an eyebrow.

“And what condition would that be?”

Ethan’s faint smile slowly turned sharper.

“You three.”

“Come at me together.”

For a moment, the entire courtyard fell completely silent.Even the wind seemed to stop.

Then the whispers exploded across the crowd.For a moment after Ethan’s words, the entire courtyard froze.

Even the whispers stopped.

Many nobles stared at Ethan as if they had misheard him. Some soldiers exchanged surprised glances while several guests leaned forward in their seats to see what would happen next.

“You three.”

“Come at me together.”

Those words echoed clearly across the courtyard.

Garet’s faint smile slowly disappeared.

Hamel’s brows knitted together while Pentos narrowed his eyes slightly.

For a brief moment, none of them spoke.Then a quiet laugh escaped from Hamel.

“You are quite confident, Marquise Ethan,” he said while stepping forward slowly.

Garet folded his arms and studied Ethan carefully.

“You do realize who we are, right?” he asked calmly.

“We are not some drunken knights from the frontier.”

Ethan shrugged lightly.

“I know.”

His tone remained calm and relaxed.

“That is exactly why I said all three of you.”

The surrounding guests immediately erupted into louder whispers.

“This guy…”

“He really asked them to attack together?”

“Is he insane?”

But among the soldiers standing around the courtyard, several of them suddenly grinned.

“That’s our lord.”

“He didn’t even hesitate.”

Meanwhile, Amber looked at Ethan with concern in her eyes.

“Are you sure about this?” she asked quietly while leaning slightly closer to him.

Ethan glanced at her and smiled faintly.
