MasukAlen immediately turned to James, as well as Riley who was staring at him with an incomprehensible look.
At first James was a bit confused by the stares of his two friends. However, he suddenly realized something, "Hey, my father was a traitor. I know about it, but ... he didn't betray this kingdom."
He took off his protective helmet and quickly rubbed his nose. That little activity was a sign that he was becoming nervous and agitated.
Realizing that, Riley immediately put his arm around James and said, "We know. Your father is not a traitor like we think he is. Calm down!"
Alen also responded, "Riley is right. You ... don't have to feel weird anymore. I'm sorry, I may have misunderstood you earlier. However, I really didn't mean to make you think of your father."
The situation became awkward. The unusual conversation made them misbehave themselves.
However, it didn't last long. When Ben and Shin moved to their places, the atmosphere became
"Paul, did you forget what he said last night before we attacked him?" Ronan said.Paul furrowed his brow, looking at Ronan with a confused expression.Jonas answered instead, "He said we shouldn't make any noise because his friends were resting."Morphy nodded, "That means ... he couldn't possibly wake his friends up."Paul snorted in disbelief, "He's not that great. He’s just lucky. He-""Do you want proof?" Jonas cut Paul off impatiently."Proof?" Paul raised his right eyebrow.Jonas smiled at his friend and then got up from his seat. Without another word, he clearly moved towards Kharel and his friends' table. Paul's eyes widened, "What is he doing?""Giving you proof," Morphy replied casually.Paul exhaled roughly. Their table was not too far from Kharel's table, so if they spoke a little loudly, Kharel and his friends' conversation could be heard at their table.As soon as Jonas arrived at the table, Elliot Gardner looked at him with a questioning gaze. "Hello, I'm Jonas Wixe
"Damn it!""You think you can mess with us?"Kharel smiled crookedly, "You guys talk too much!"The next second, Kharel moved very quickly and, using a short knife, began to attack them. The people wearing all black clothes without good protection were surprised to see Kharel's aggressive attack.They didn't expect Kharel to have such impressive speed. Not only that, he was even able to injure all four of them in different parts of their bodies in a short time. The four of them fell helplessly to the floor, moaning in pain. They weren't seriously injured, but Kharel's attack clearly prevented them from counterattacking. "Do you want to leave now willingly or ... shall we fight again until you can't participate in tomorrow's competition?" Kharel said coldly.One of them turned to Kharel, looking surprised. "You know-"“You’re competition participants. Soldiers from your respective kingdoms aren’t allowed to enter this complex,” Kharel cut in impatiently.“You’re not going to kill us
Niall laughed mockingly. With his mouth slightly full of food, he said, "Who wants to interfere?"The stocky young man turned to Niall, who was casually biting into a chicken thigh. "You-""Your kingdom's Crown Prince wants to sit here. We're just accompanying him. What's wrong with that?" Niall replied.Another participant from the Kingdom of Ordanta who hadn't spoken yet also chimed in, "Your mistake is-""There's no rule that every participant has to sit at the same table as their partner. Why make an issue of this?" Elliot interrupted impatiently."Or ... do you have bad intentions towards your own crown prince that you are forcing him to sit with you?" Gale said coldly.Instantly, all the participants in the dining room stared sharply at the three young men. They began to discuss how strange they were."Crazy! They want to attack their own crown prince?""Oh my god! I can't believe it. How could they threaten their own future king?"One of the participants from the Kingdom of De
Keen Ordanta looked at them one by one before he began to speak."My father has three wives. My mother is the queen, while my father's other two wives are given the title of concubine. I have several siblings from my father's two other wives." Keen paused for a moment.As he observed the expressions of the four young men, Keen continued, "I am not the eldest child, but because my mother is the queen, my father still made me the crown prince. This ... made my father's two wives hate me.""They made me join the competition so that I would die in it," Keen explained.Kharel sighed softly, while Elliot immediately asked, "Why could they ... I mean, force you to join this competition?"Keen smiled sadly, "Because they know my mother's secret. I ... have to protect my mother, otherwise my father will definitely punish her? I won't let them do that."Of course, they would never ask about the secret in question. They knew their limits. Gale exhaled heavily, "Then, what about the soldiers with
"You-" a soldier from the Kingdom of Blueming didn't get to finish his sentence because his hand was grabbed by another participant who had stood up."How arrogant!"That remark made all the participants turn to look at the young man. The young man stood up and glared at Elliot.Elliot frowned in surprise.The young man staring at Elliot was a participant whose face was known to all the other participants in the competition, Jimmy Sealand.Jimmy Sealand was only twenty years old and was one of the handsome princes whose name was often mentioned thanks to his good looks.Unfortunately, his appearance did not match his arrogant attitude."It's too late, but you still dare to brag. Ah, I want to know how good you really are. Are you as good as you brag about?" Jimmy said.Elliot said casually, "Prove it tomorrow."Jimmy laughed dismissively, "Sure. Of course, I'm looking forward to tomorrow."After saying that, Jimmy shot Elliot a hateful glance and sat back down arrogantly.Niall sighed
Keen Ordanta and three soldiers from the Kingdom of De Kruk felt the atmosphere around them heating up.Damn! Why did these two have to meet now? Keen thought desperately.Keen knew about the history between the two kingdoms. It was clear that they were still enemies. So, he had actually hoped that they would not meet before the competition day began.This was to avoid any unexpected incidents. However, who would have thought they would meet in this way?It seemed that the organizers had successfully created a problem.Meanwhile, the De Kruk soldiers could only look worried. They were concerned that their crown prince would attack their enemy.In fact, their war general, Gareth Dee, had previously warned them to keep Richard De Kruk away from the soldiers of the Ans De Lou Kingdom. However, who would have thought that they would meet even before the competition began?Richard De Kruk smiled casually, "How did you recognize me?"There were no participant names on the participants' unifo
