A few minutes later, Kael separated from Elira and Arlan, stood in the middle of the Battle Arena, and looked around.
All the nobles and guests at the party had arrived, while the normal seats were all empty since normal people weren't allowed to watch. The VIP section was packed with nobles whispering amongst themselves, eager to see what the Hero was truly capable of.
After all, this would be the first time they would see the Hero fight.
Then finally, Alden walked in, a Throne that gave him the best possible view of the battle was prepared for him. The nobles turned silent at his arrival and stood up from their seats.
Only once the King sat down did the others follow. Alden nodded at a few nobles before his eyes fell on Arlan, who was supposed to act as the arbiter. The Commander nodded as he stepped on the stage with the two fighters.
"Alright, let's keep this clean—"
"A moment, Commander!"
Marcus raised a hand, stepping forward.
Kael sighed internally.
