The King's delight was palpable as he slumped back on his throne.
"You call for the Rite of Challenge, do you perhaps not know what you have just said, Young Jun?" He asked with an amused tone in his voice.
Well, it was expected; after all, the Rite of Challenge wasn't used much in society because of the unfairness of the odds.
Raph knew this, and he still chose to do it for mostly one reason.
'I already have a challenger within the King's throne room, and quite frankly, I can't wait to sink my sword in his ugly face'. He thought when he glanced at Dugu Jafar, only to find the man glaring at him.
To others, it might seem like Raph was just trying to prolong the inevitable, but for people like Dugu Jafar, who despised the uncertainties that may occur with time, it was rather annoying.
Knowing this, Raph's lips vividly curled into a smirk as he looked away, and this caused a fire-burning rage to grow in intensity within the heart of Dugu.
