The other dark clans had already taken the chance to flee before that, but most of them did not go too far. After all, the battle in the castle would determine who ruled over the area for the next ten years. If Valen won, then there was nothing much to say. Regardless of whether or not they were happy with it, they could only submit.
If Valen lost, then it would be different. The winner would be the king, and it would be Xiao Lin who got the right to rule based on tradition. However, now that they knew Xiao Lin was from Dawn Academy then, no matter what Dawn Academy's influence was in the Rosa Kingdom, it would still be hard to completely get the acknowledgement of everyone as he was a foreigner from a different world.
When Xiao Lin walked out, everyone's eyes landed on him before shifting toward his hand. The blood on Valen's head had yet to dry, and the look of shock in his eyes was evident.
Valen was dead. Xiao Lin had killed him.
