Fighting over pride always seems rather ridiculous.
Had this been inside the Witherspoon Temple in the Northeast, just the solemnity exuded by Shaman Wei An, Master Qi Dan sitting firmly on his throne would have been enough to quell any clergyperson. However, today on the War God Plaza, there were as many as five Great Shamans and three chieftains. Once anything becomes excessive, it loses its value, including official positions. The fight between Liu and Prince Richard unexpectedly didn't get stopped by any chieftain or Great Diviner. They helplessly brawled into a cluster.
Clapping, whistles, and cheers rose and fell, showing that these participants in the Olympic contest are not all easy-going.
Public brawling is clearly banned by the laws of the kingdom, but love for fighting is nearly an innate nature among all Beacons, clergypeople included. Naturally, they cheered and supported, especially since their own people were gaining the upper hand.
