"Delvi, when are you going to fight her or soone from their group?" Velian questioned.
At first, he planned to assassinate them or use so tranquillizer to capture them and put them in isolated prisons to research them.
But after seeing that woman's wink, he knew they are up to no good.
"Maybe in the next round, I honestly don't know because matches are random, but in the final, I will et one of them,"
Velian thought about what he was going to do. He rembered about the woman that confronted him in the toilet at the sa ti.
"Looks like soone is planning sothing evil in here,"
He rembered about the details of that woman since he already knew about what Baron did to take her from the mistress of one of the major houses.
"Naomi, there's sothing I want to confirm, can you send one of your best underlings to et ? And make sure, you interrogate my current bodyguards, they weren't their guarding when object the restroom,"
Naomi opened her eyes wide as soon as she heard those words, and Velian knew they are going to be minceat, as soon as she catch them.
"I will do that, master, "She said and suddenly their attention was taken by the announcer girl, who declared the conclusion of the first day of the tournant.
"Ladies and gentlen, what a day it has been!" she exclaid, her voice ringing out over the din of the spectators.
"We have seen so truly amazing displays of skill and strength from our competitors, and I am thrilled to announce that we have so winners of the first-day tournant!"
The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, the noise echoing off the walls of the arena. The announcer girl smiled, basking in the energy of the mont.
Her eyes sparkled with excitent, as this was the debut of her career and she successfully managed to carry out the event without any flaws and she was confident about her skills.
"And let's not forget our other winners," she said, her voice rising again to be heard over the noise.
"The cunning mages, who outmanoeuvred her opponents with ease. And the skilled archer, whose arrows never missed their mark. And the brave lioness who single-handily defeated more than a hundred competitors,"
The crowd cheered again, the sound like thunder in the announcer girl's ears.
"Congratulations to all our winners!" she cried, holding her arms aloft.
"And to those who did not erge victorious today, fear not. There will be plenty of chances to prove yourselves in the days to co. For now, let us celebrate the achievents of these brave warriors, and look forward to what tomorrow will bring!"
Velian also clapped at her amazing performance and he thought about giving her so matching profession since she looked like soone who can serve directly under him.
But right now, he had another important thing to do.
"Sariya, Mother you can go ahead and rest, we have sothing to deal with," Velian knew the night won't end peacefully after all this, so he had to keep an eye on it.
Delviny needed so rest, but she knew even without rest, she would be about to beat anyone and her only challenge right now was the people that had this strange power.
"Be careful, and take care, darling," After giving a kiss on both Delviny and Velian's forehead, Daphnia left with Sariya, Elda, Aiko and Lyra, while Juno and Delviny decided to follow Velian.
Naomi went back to her assassin headquarters to do what Velian asked her to do and interrogate the two bodyguards, that didn't do their duty correctly.
Velian also stepped out off the stage hoping to greet competitors and collect so information, but he was imdiately greeted by the mbers of the Blazing Sun group as soon as he left the stage.
Their polite words were accompanied by angry and malicious looks, and Velian could feel the tension in the air.
"Well, well, if it isn't the great Velian," one of them sneered, but to others it looked like they were trying to complint Velian.
"We've been waiting for you."
Velian raised an eyebrow, his guard up. He knew this group all too well. They had been a thorn in his side for far too long, always causing trouble and trying to bring him down.
And he didn't expect to see them here after he overwheld them in their first battle. He thought they would just give up like a normal adventurer group and continue with their job.
But it didn't look like that right now, as what are the odds of this group participating in the tournant Velian organised and greeting him without even any shred of nervousness?
"What do you want?" Velian asked, his voice cold and steady.
"Oh, just to have a little chat," another mber of the group chid in.
"You know, catch up on old tis."
Velian snorted. "I highly doubt that's all you want."
"Now now, your highness, we just want to get to know the kind organiser who gave us the chance to participate in such a beautiful and well-managed tournant.
"Is that so? So you didn't co for revenge? I thought you wanted to experience despair one more ti and you forgot what happened to you that day," He said and gave a cold smile, warning them not to play with him.
The Blazing Sun group got intimated for a second and the woman next to their leader-like figure started clenching her teeth, but soon they cald down as they looked at Velian with a smile.
"Don't be so aggressive my lord, we are here to fight with your fair and square, so we would like it if you can support us,"
"Fair and Square? Don't make laugh! You call that power inside you fair and square?" Velian questioned expecting them to reduce but all of them laughed inside.
"As expected of you, you can see, but don't worry, unlike what you fought in the past we have control, and we will be the one to win this tournant, so make sure you keep your sister safe,"
The woman said with a cheeky smile, but Velian felt enraged by her sentence.
"Old hag is always old hag! But say one more word about her, and I will pluck your tongue and feed it to goblins,"
