LOGINAlen 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
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
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.
"You-" a soldier from the Kingdom of Bluming 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
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' unif
Jimmy Sealand's eyes widened in surprise, "Wh-what do you mean? There are ... other Crown Princes here?"The female staff member smiled crookedly, "Yes, there are three other Crown Princes who are currently standing without complaining much."The participants began to exchange glances, looking very curious."Three others?""Who are they?""From which kingdoms?" However, a staff member immediately warned them not to talk. Meanwhile, Keen and Kharel, who were both crown princes, could only sigh softly.Meanwhile, Jimmy gritted his teeth in annoyance, "Who? Who are they? Their status must be much lower than mine. That's why they're keeping quiet."Hearing this, Keen Ordanta rolled his eyes but refused to respond."Or ... they're just cowards who don't dare to protest anything," Jimmy added with a mocking smile.Suddenly, a soldier standing at the front laughed cynically.Jimmy immediately turned to the soldier and growled angrily, "Why are you laughing?"The soldier shrugged, "Your word
Keen suddenly smiled bitterly, not answering immediately.However, Gale could immediately see that something was wrong from Keen's expression."It would take me a long time to explain this problem,"the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Ordanta said in a weary tone."Then don't explain it," Gale replied, appearing relaxed in his response."But ... I want to," Keen said, surprising Gale, who didn't expect such an unpredictable attitude.He thought that Keen might have experienced something unpleasant, so he was reluctant to tell anyone, especially Gale, whom he had only met that day. Besides, he and Keen couldn't be considered friends. In fact, they were rivals in the upcoming competition.Gale clicked his tongue and stared in surprise at the prince of the Ordanta Kingdom. Meanwhile, Kharel felt that Keen was a pleasant young man, so he might be able to be friends with the young prince. Keen smiled again when he saw Gale's expression, which looked strangely funny to him, "I'll go to your
