章節 593: I'm not a passive observer, I'm a dutiful student

The tournament nearly turned into a real war. The first round was a fencing round, and immediately upon losing, some of the losers began to accuse the other side of fighting in unfair manners, and insisting that they should have Kelsa anyway.

Of course, the promise of Kelsa's hand in marriage was too great to expect people to follow some kind of sense of honor and stand back to allow the victor to take her without trouble.

And so a mage stepped forward and placed a spell upon all participants - by condition of participating. Those who fought could not violate the rules set out for each event, and those who lost would be forced to accept their loss.

With the tournament finally in full swing, Kelsa's eyes couldn't help but follow a particular knight. The prince of a small nation, unimportant and weak. He was Lief, a man known for his beauty more than his martial prowess.

Far more importantly, Lief was the man whom the Second Princess Kelsa loved.
