Capítulo 196: Reasons ???: The Real Princess (7)

After the Crown Prince declared his challenge, the first to respond to his request was King Gautzeline.

"Ho~ It seems our crown prince has grown bolder." King Gautzeline smugged.

Then he stood up, and his servant handed him his giant sword to hold.

He walks up to the Crown Prince calmly with his sword in his hand.

"Though I have no complaints in participating in the battle..." He says in a casual tone as if he has no preference, but the spectators could see him smiling widely, for the truth is the King is more than delighted to fight the young man.

Still, King Gautzeline refrains himself from agreeing immediately as he knows the Empire's greatest treasure is at stake.

So he stands in front of the boy with his sword on his side and carefully consider before crossing his sword with the young man.

According to tradition, if the opponent accepts the challenge, he will cross his sword with the challenger.
