บท 66: The Prelude of the Tournament

It was snowing. Frost that had looked like it had been crafted by the Gods himself swayed gently, landing on the rooftops, streetlamps, on the ground, and at wherever it felt best. 

Despite the cold weather, no one had actually thought of forsaking the highly anticipated tournament and instead, their hearts thrumped with excitement. As of today, it had finally begun. 

Even though the stadium wasn't as grand as the one in the Capital City where the Queen resided, this large stadium was only close to second. It counted as the largest already in Zariya. 

The stadium could house almost all of the people in town and Zariya wasn't exactly small either. While the one in the Capital City could hold more than ten thousand, the one in Zariya followed close in second with seven thousand.
