[Nea Alba. Morning.
Rizzuya. Elisbonear.]
"Are you ready~?!"
Cheers broke out at the announcer's words.
"After three years! The Sea King Tournament begins in! Three..."
Looking down from the top of the palace was the King of Elisbonear. The people believed only Elisban could rule over the entirety of Elisbonear. Every prince that rose to the crown had to renounce their name and could only be called the descendant of Elisban.
"Two..."
Below him were the rows of ministers and at their center... The Royal Advisor.
"ONE!!"
A loud fanfare sounded from the crowd, accompanied by the harmonic trumpets and drums. Flags and banners unfurled from different parts of the Rizzuya Palace. Unfurling one banner on the west wing of the palace was Qiu Zan. He met my eyes and nodded. Everything was in place. It was up to me to decide the timing now.
