章 84: Ice Pupils

A looming silence hung over the battle arena. There was no doubting Amory's clear challenge, but his methods weren't as simple as it seemed either.

Firstly, there was the matter of accumulating a Faction as strong as his Dragon Corps in the first place. Second was having absolute command over such strong, bloodlust filled men. And lastly, there was his position in the rankings. Not only could he unceremoniously shatter Ryu's momentum and take it for his own, he could place untold pressure on Prince Kalmin who was forced to go directly after him.

In truth, Ryu thought even a step further than this. Who would go after Prince Kalmin? Wasn't it Third Prince Cayden who had just made his affiliation with First Prince Amory clear – to Ryu, at least?

Under this untold pressure, Prince Kalmin calmed himself and called forth his own guards. As expected, his performance was severely lacking in comparison to Prince Amory, but he displayed his own strengths well.
