Chapter 82.1: Time to Hunt (1)

As soon as the outcome was decided, the Duke realized he was gripping his sword tightly. His palms were sweaty. He had been watching so intently.

As a ruler, one must coldly orchestrate tournaments to derive political gains.

Getting lost in the excitement of such tournaments was something ordinary people did, not the Duke.

Duke, reflecting on this, quickly spoke up.

The contest ends here! I will not allow any further duels in the name of Brduhe. Serfs, servants, and slaves, go inside and bring out your masters. Bless the knights who fought honorably!

The audience responded with applause and cheers, grateful for the Dukes generosity in hosting such an event.

It was said that a well-conducted tournament could bring peace to the region for years. Such was the events impact in establishing the hosts authority and captivating the people.

Now, only one thing remained.

It was time to choose the tournaments winner.

The bishop and abbot seated next to the Duke made the sign of the cross before speaking.

It must be hard to choose.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

He doesnt have such a sense, does he?

Originally, it was customary for the winner to be the commander of the victorious side. And Achladda of the Alcia tribe was more than qualified to receive it. Even Lucas of the West had brought down his opponents and won the victory himself.

The problem was that there was another knight who had made a significant impact in the tournament.

Johan of the Yeats family.

Although he did not actively fight in the tournament, the majesty he displayed was unmatched by anyone. His charge with the lance, knocking down knights and saving Achladda, was truly remarkable.

Because of this, he was already extremely popular among the crowd, even though he was not originally a knight active in the east. Even the Duke was surprised by this.

At this rate, if Johan does not become the winner, there could be dissatisfaction among the crowd.

. . .

I have heard from the Bishop of Mohsho that Sir Johan of the Yeats family is a paragon of devotion among knights. Seeing him today, I realize that these words were not mistaken.

?!

The Duke was shocked at the bishops words.

He knew Johan was young and talented, but he hadnt expected such praise from the bishop.

Normally, the church despised such barbaric events as tournaments, where many died despite precautions.

Such a reaction, instead of a typical sermon?

? ? ?

Its fine. Other honors await me.

. . .?

Johan was perplexed but accepted the offer, not wanting to keep the Duke waiting.

The sound of trumpets and some unknown instruments could be heard, and only after the Dukes servants and stewards shouted Johans name and bravery until their throats were sore, Johan could reach in front of the Duke across the arena.

Johan knelt respectfully in front of the Duke. The Dukes children beside him caught his eye.

. . .!!

Johan was surprised.

The reason was the unreal appearance of Dukes children.

Their silver hair and pale, beautiful features resembled Duke, but all of their faces looked alike as if they were twins.

Their appearance, indistinguishable between males and females, seemed like a fantasy. It seemed understandable why Dukes children were called Stars of Brduhe. They looked so alike. . .

?

Sir Johan. I am pleased to bestow upon you the highest honor of this contest. In the West, the most beautiful and noble person would have presented this sword, but. . .

Laughter erupted around the Dukes joke.

In the East, it is the law that a warrior must give the sword to another warrior. I bestow this sword upon you for the honor and bravery you showed today!

The sword the Duke offered was , a famous blade with a silver edge.

It wasnt as great as Johans < >, passed down from ancient Empire times, but it was still a remarkable sword.

Envious and admiring gasps were heard around. Johan respectfully received the sword. He could feel the Dukes children staring intently at him.

.

Other knights present must have some relationship with the Dukes children, being nobles active in the East.

But not Johan.

Suddenly, a large stone rolled in, and from the childrens perspective, they must have wondered, ?

After Johan left, the Duke stood up and surveyed the gathered crowd.

Now that the tournament had ended, it was time for the feast. Everyone was filled with anticipation for the drinks and food to be generously provided by the Duke.

However, the Duke had another plan in mind.

Now that this honorable contest is over, a feast should follow for everyone. But it is too early to relax! There is another contest for the warriors gathered here!
