LOGINElliot smiled and replied casually, "He ranked fourth in yesterday's training."Niall frowned and vaguely began to remember the young man. The young soldier, who was almost nineteen years old, then said, "Oh, I remember him. My father once mentioned that he was one of the unique soldiers.""Unique?" Kharel raised his right eyebrow. Niall nodded, "He doesn't have any family in the palace. So, my father was even impressed by his abilities, which he built from scratch."Kharel was stunned for a moment.Elliot, who also knew a little about the young soldier, added, "Yes, that's right. He's from a commoner family and trained himself. So, you could say he built his skills on his own without any help from anyone."Kharel was stunned to hear this. "Amazing! Without any help, he was able to reach this point." The crown prince sounded impressed when he heard the story."His achievements are quite impressive, to the point that my father also said he wanted to train him personally, but unfortu
Niall was about to step forward as if he wanted to stop the duel between Kharel and Ashton.However, when he saw that James Gardner was already near the area, he said, "It's okay, your father is there. Kharel will be fine."Elliot immediately looked for his father at the edge of the duel area. Sure enough, James was standing on the sidelines watching the duel."My dad knows too. Nothing bad should happen," Elliot said, his vigilance beginning to wane.Of course, with a war general like James Gardner near the duel area, the two young men were sure that the strange Ashton Sehel would not dare to do anything else. Now, Elliot and Niall could relax a little while watching how James' presence brought extraordinary calm to Kharel.Apparently, Ashton did not change his aggressive attacks on Kharel, but the crown prince seemed to be launching his attacks more frequently. Unexpectedly, Kharel managed to attack Ashton several times at points on his body that had quite high points."Very good
Niall Anderson was silent for quite a while before the young man replied, "I don't know. I ... just feel something strange about him."Elliot was about to ask a question, but at that moment the fight between Kharel and Ashton had begun, so he chose to focus his attention on watching the duel first. Kharel looked so calm and repeatedly landed precise attacks. Meanwhile, Ashton always seemed to rush to attack with enthusiasm. This made Elliot frown in surprise.No, no, no. This can't be, right? Why do I feel like he's so eager to attack Kharel? Elliot thought.He then turned to his father, who had stood up from his seat and was staring at the monitor with obvious anxiety. "Something's wrong," Elliot said, who felt that his father also noticed something strange about Ashton's fighting style.When Niall didn't respond, Elliot immediately turned to his best friend and found that the young man had clenched his fists and was staring wide-eyed at Ashton."That bastard! Why do I think he
It would be a lie to say that Riley wasn't worried about letting his son go to the competition alone. Kharel was his only son. He was not only his son, but also the crown prince of the country.It was only natural for him to worry about his son.But suddenly he remembered his son's face begging him for permission that morning.Kharel had clearly been hiding something from him, but considering that his son was over 20 years old, he thought that he was trying to solve his own problems. So, he felt he had no right to doubt his son's abilities, so he said, "James, he wants to go and I won't stop him. I ... believe in him, he'll definitely come back."James swallowed hard. Seeing the look of genuine concern on his friend's face, James didn't dare to disturb Riley's calm.Therefore, he also chose to calm himself and replied, "You're right. Your son is amazing, and Elliot ... my son would never let his friend go alone.""He'll definitely try his best," James added.Riley turned to his best
Helen replied in a calm voice, "This is only the first session, dear. Don't worry, there are still three more sessions to go."Angelica looked uneasy, but she knew she could only wait. Meanwhile, James Gardner read the results of the first round and smiled faintly.Elliot Gardner, his son, was in first place with the highest score and had a significant lead over the soldier in second place, Ashton Sehel.Ashton Sehel started the first session with a set of arrows and managed to beat Niall Anderson, Elliot's best friend."It's okay, there are still a few more rounds," Kharel said when he passed Niall, whose face looked tense. Niall responded to his best friend's words with a warm smile, feeling so happy to have friends who always made him feel valued. Elliot, his youngest friend, even ran up to him and patted him on the shoulder, "You can definitely catch up. Don't worry!""Go for it, Niall!" Elliot said with a cheerful smile, then immediately returned to the fencing set. Niall sho
Kharel nodded briefly to the staff member.The staff member then invited the crown prince to put on some special equipment before choosing a sword.Kharel chose a sword that was slightly flexible but had good sharpness. He was not the best at using a sword, but his sword skills were not bad either.So, with confidence, the young man stepped into the sword arena where a class one soldier was waiting to greet him."Your Highness, I will not hesitate to fight you," the soldier said. Kharel, who had not yet closed his protective helmet, smiled at his opponent, "Don't worry! Give it your best shot!""Yes, Your Royal Highness," the soldier said, who looked extremely happy to be the opponent of the future king. The main rule in sword fighting was that the attacker, Kharel Mackenzie, had the right to attack his opponent fully. Meanwhile, the opponent's role was to defend and was not allowed to attack. Therefore, the most difficult part was for the attacker to launch a full-scale attack to
