The entire banquet hall was in total silence.
It could be said that this was the shortest duel the crowd had ever seen. The duel ended in less than a minute and before some of the nobles clearly witnessed what exactly happened.
However, the main point was that the gazes projecting at Rhode became rather off.
Most of them were watching with curiosity and hostility before the start of the duel, but the result of this duel was enough to change their thoughts completely!
From Antonio's point of view, he didn't know how he lost the duel. However, there were formidable swordsmen among the crowd who had witnessed everything and their gazes were filled with unprecedented astonishment.
