Chapter 475 For the Princess’s Hand 2
The arena was completely full as I expected.
Nobles and commoners of all kinds were seated on the stands, looking towards the arena with excited expressions.
Loud cheers, shouts of excitent, and cries of encouragent could be heard from each corner of the arena, directed towards the participants.
It looks like a lot of people ca to observe the tournant.
Mm... It was probably sothing Lilia and Alan arranged as well. This way, Dina will find it harder to reject the winner.
Well, she was never planning to reject him in the first place. How can she reject her handso and lovable little brother?
I looked around the arena at the young n participating. And to my surprise, more than two hundred young n were already here.
Each one of them seed like soone outstanding, and most of them were young nobles belonging to different families.
Even so, there were around eighty or so commoners.
I could not help but shake my head seeing that.
These guys, sigh...
They probably ca here with just the thought of testing their luck, without knowing they are putting their lives in danger.
Perhaps these young nobles will have reservations about injuring gravely other young nobles. But what about these commoners?
I’m sure most of them will leave this place with severe injuries, so of them even dead.
Such a pity...
Well, I don’t need to care about them. It was their own choice. They musty be responsible for their actions
While I was observing my surroundings, Louis entered the arena.
He shot a glare filled with killing intent as soon as he entered, but when he saw I did not react, he looked away.
Little boy, are you trying to trickle with that pitiful killing intent?
I an, you should fight around one million life and death battles more before trying to use your killing intent against .
... Although thinking about it, it’s a good idea he intimidated all these commoners. Otherwise, this battle would have been much more of a hassle.
At that mont, the arena suddenly quieted down.
Then, both the spectators as the participants looked in the sa direction as though they would have agreed to it beforehand.
Towards a private booth in the highest part of the arena.
That was the booth exclusive to the Imperial Family.
And at that mont, the emperor was entering the booth, followed by empress Lilia, Alan, Dina, and Lena.
The emperor sat down in the main seat, with the empress at his right and Alan at his left. Dina and Lena sat down behind him.
I could see the empress and Dina looking towards the arena as though searching for sothing. They were looking at the participants searching for my figure.
And as soon as their gazes t mine, I smiled.
Dina smiled back, but the empress kept a stoic expression. However, I noticed she seed slightly pleased.
Before coming here, I told Dina everything about my Clark identity (Surprising her a lot). Thus, she was not surprised when she saw my different hair color and eyes.
Plus, the truth was that my face as Clark was exactly the sa as my face as Claus. The only reason nobody could link the two identities together was due to the [Recognition Interference] spell I’m using.
As I explained before, it’s like that superhero using red underwear. Nobody can recognize him when he wears his glasses.
Once the emperor sat down, he looked down at the spectators and the contestants before nodding satisfied.
"I’m pleased that a lot of outstanding young n are here today.
"As you know, today’s tournant is to choose a husband for my daughter. As a father, I obviously want the best for my beloved daughter, thus, I will only choose the most outstanding among you. Only that person will be worthy of marrying her."
I could not help but roll my eyes after hearing that.
Even Dina was looking at my father stunned.
Your beloved daughter? To think you can be so shaless to say that in public.
I must admit, though, that these words were very effective.
All the young n around stood straighter when they heard the emperor’s words, as though they were trying to show off how outstanding they were.
The commoners on the stands, on the other hand, were praising the emperor for his love towards his daughter and how responsible he was as a father.
To be honest, I wanted nothing more than punch him in the face when I heard these words.
Unfortunately, that is not possible right now.
"Now, although I’m sure each one of you is very outstanding, I can only choose one." The emperor continued with his speech. "Thus, you will have to fight among yourself for that position.
"The rules are simple. All of you will fight in a battle royale until only sixteen of you remain. These sixteen will then face each other in individual duels, with the loser being eliminated, until only one remains.
"That person will be the one worthy of marrying my daughter!"
Cheers sounded in the arena as the commoners shouted in excitent. Simultaneously, the young n participating in the tournant looked at each other with fighting intent glowing in their eyes.
So of them were even looking towards my sister with hot eyes, as though they could already see themselves marrying her.
I shook my head silently. God, these guys seem like dogs in heat.
... And you, the ones looking at my sister like that. Don’t worry, I’ll take special care of you.
Once the cheers ended, the emperor continued talking.
"Now that you heard the rules. Get ready!"
All the young n nodded and took out their weapons, ready to start the battle.
Seeing that, the emperor’s booming voice resounded through the arena once more.
"Start!"
