Thanks for the chapter!
Good thing MC waited for prince to say he could fight back before doing so. Although still at risk for lese majeste for hitting the prince even though a duel and got permission. One of those prejudicial rules to favor higher ranked nobility over those under them along with avoiding looking bad or risking accidents. Seriously, MC could get executed if prince or king or queen get outraged and make an issue over it even though prince was one who demanded a duel and asked to be attacked back.
