The day of the second trial had finally arrived for the De Gors, and anticipation buzzed in the air. In a modest arena typically reserved for combat sports, a small crowd of commoners gathered around the raised platforms, eager to witness the strength of the De Gor Bloodline in action.
At the heart of the arena, a specially constructed booth housed a few select nobles, among them the Earl, seated at the front. From his elevated position behind the glass, the Earl observed the combat pit below, where the fate of the remaining contestants would soon be decided.
It was a shame, really, that only four nobles and one commoner remained to compete, but the stakes were high. Today, four of the contestants would be assigned their roles, while only the top-ranked individual would advance to the final trial.
