"One more question, I don't get why you need to go through this kind of tournament. Didn't you say you would send the princess to another clan anyway?"
"This is done to quell their hate and give them some hope. Otherwise, all the princesses would think of rebelling against the clan.
Doing this will also show the princess's capability to build up their network."
"Why not have the princesses fight each other then?" Alex's question quickly made him the center of attention.
Everyone turned their gaze at him. Alex let out a chuckle, playing it as a joke as he thought, 'So it's a world like this. Despite strength ruling supreme, they are still biased.'
But then Alex realized there were also some women fighters in the cohort. This meant his thought was wrong.
'Or they don't want the princesses to get hurt, as their value will lower in that case?'
While Alex thought of this, one of the guards raised his voice, "Princess Reina has returned."
