Bab 73: Tournament (1)

Almost every invited guest had arrived in Adenberd before the promised day. Even before the banquet, this was a great chance for the high society to mingle and together discuss the matters of business, power, and politics. 

This would of course be done in the typical way that the rich and so-called sophisticated do—with the spice of gossip and the venom of jabbing words 

And for this reason, Albaer had prepared many events as starters before the main course such as the Tournament between Wandering Knights and the hunting competition in the forest. 

The news had already been circulated long ago, far and wide through various channels that a tournament would be held and so along with the rich guests, came their knights as well.
