Edward II was also paying attention to this tournament. When Ireya made her appearance, he even stood up from his seat with a wine glass in hand, excitedly waving his fist and roared.
"Come on, show that lad some colors! You've hunted a giant dragon after all!"
Queen Heloise frowned upon hearing this.
She hadn't expected her small gesture to catch Edward II's attention. The Emperor glanced at her, "What, do you have a different opinion?"
"No."
"Then why the sour face?"
"It's not about Ireya. I just find such duels too cruel. Just yesterday and this morning, thirty people died, including seven nobles, and many more were injured," she replied.
"What kind of duel would it be if no one died?" Edward II dismissed.
"This is a game for the brave. Each contestant has gambled their honor and life. Those who talk about art and literature all day would never understand."
"The duel tournament was banned over four hundred years ago by your ancestors," the Elf Queen reminded him.
