Inside the royal box, the King watched the arena with wide eyes. Beside him, Alan also watched with a grim face, holding the armrests tight. Anne remained at the front, watching with an excited look on her face, while Liana also looked delighted at Ryuji's display, her small fist clenched tight the moment he made the old knight surrender.
However, the queen scoffed and made a comment that caused the two sisters to boil with anger.
"Hmmm, I don't agree with such a disgusting monster being praised. Look at how he lacks elegance and style, even hitting a woman without care." The queen's disdain for Ryuji was clear, causing a rift in the otherwise tense atmosphere.
The king frowned at her comments, knowing that Ryuji was Alan's friend but he too didn't speak up. Rather, Alan seemed to struggle to contain his desire to fight. The heroic aura of his flickering like a broken bulb.
