chapter 034: Win the fortress
The valley shook beneath the thunder of charging horses.Dust rolled across the battlefield in thick clouds, swallowing the afternoon sun until everything turned a dull shade of gold and brown. Hundreds of hooves pounded against the earth, the sound growing louder with every passing heartbeat.Kael didn't move.His soldiers watched him instead of the approaching cavalry.The old veteran scratched his beard.".Prince?"Kael calmly folded the map and slipped it into his belt."Everyone's finally here."One of the younger soldiers looked horrified."There are hundreds of them!""There are," Kael agreed."And you're smiling.""I am." Kael said with a grimaceThe veteran narrowed his eyes. "You planned this."Kael looked toward the charging army. "I've been planning it since the moment I ignored the fortress."The old man blinked. "You wanted them to unite against us"Kael nodded. "They were never my target."The soldiers looked confused and Kael pointed toward the distant fortress."The f

The valley buzzed with movement. From the hills above, Kael could see the other contestants racing toward the fortress like starving wolves spotting prey.Everyone was focused on the same thing, getting to the fortress which was exactly why Kael ignored it.He stood on a ridge with his soldiers behind him.The cold wind tugged at his dark hair as he studied the map one final time.The older veteran beside him scratched his beard.“Still feels strange not heading for the fortress.”Kael folded the map.“Good thats the whole point .”The veteran blinked.“What?”“If everyone agrees on something, it’s usually the wrong move.”Several soldiers chuckled and the old veteran laughed loudly.“I like him.”The group began moving towards the supply routes.Three hours later.The first signs of battle were already visible, smoke and fire came from thr direction of thr fortress, the contestants had already started fighting each other exactly as Kael expected.One of the younger soldiers climbed a
chapter 032: The fortress
The morning after Lysera’s duel, the tournament grounds were louder than ever.Everywhere people gathered, they talked about the same thing.Prince Kael.Lysera said she was sure he had a fan group now, and she was trying not to get jealous.Everyone kept on speaking about the prince who had jumped into the arena. The prince who had stopped Rykal.The prince everyone had spent years calling weak.Now nobody seemed quite sure what to call him anymore.Kael ignored the stares as he made his way toward the central arena.Contestants from every kingdom were already arriving again.He realized that since Rykal almost killed a fellow player, the commander had opened a slot for new contestsants but Kael didnt know why.Some looked nervous and one even nodded at Kael respectfully. That was new.Kael found his place among the remaining competitors.There were only ten of them left now. The tournament players were getting smaller.Across the arena, Rykal stood with his arms crossed.nHis express
chapter 031: The assassin
For a second, nobody moved. The entire arena seemed frozen beneath the afternoon sun.“RYKAL!”The commander’s roar shook the arena but he was too late. The blade was already moving towards Lysera.The crowd screamed and even Queen Selara went pale where she sat, the a blur crossed the arena.And a sword hit Rykal sword away.CLANG!The impact exploded through the stadium. Rykal’s sword was knocked aside. The killing blow missed Lysera by inches.A figure stood between them, it was Kael.The crowd erupted into cheers, thousands of voices exploded into chaos.“He moved!”“When did he get down there?!”“That was impossible!”Kael didn’t hear any of it. His entire focus was on the man in front of him.Rykal.For a long moment neither of them spoke. The brothers stared at one another.One filled with fury and the other frighteningly calm.Rykal’s jaw clenched.“Move out of my way .” Kael didn’t.“Move, Kael.”Still nothing.The prince simply stood there with one hand gripping his sword.
chapter 030: The duel
The arena had never been this loud before.It seemed the sight of people fighting for the throne amused the audience.Thousands of voices echoed through the massive stadium, crashing against the stone walls like waves against cliffs. Nobles filled the upper balconies. Soldiers lined the lower stands. Merchants, travelers, and commoners crowded every available space.The tournament had reached the duels aspect. No more teams or strategy, this was the time for everyone to face their fate.It was Just two people stepping into the arena and proving who deserved to remain.Kael stood near the contestant platform, his arms folded across his chest as he watched the attendants prepare the fighting grounds.Beside him, ome of the contestants leaned against the railing.“The next match should be interesting.”Kael didn’t reply because he had already seen the names and he knew exactly who was walking into the arena.Lysera and Rykal.She said she was ready, but Kael new the prince was vicious,
chapter 029: No mistakes Allowed
The sun had dipped low, painting the tournament grounds in dark shadows that stretched across the tents and stone platforms. The day had been brutal. Trial Two, the Venom Field, had left its mark on every contestant, the scrapes, bruises, exhaustion, and the ever-present weight of knowing that the next trial would only be more merciless.The candidates were gathered in the large hall, with wooden tables lined with bowls of thick stew and bread. The scent of roasted meat mingled with the tang of iron from the minor injuries that still oozed across the floor. Everyone was too tired to speak, they just ate what they could, distracted by occasional groans of discomfort or murmurs of disbelief about the day’s events.Kael sat at a table near the far end, his leg still tender from the venom, wrapped carefully in a protective bandage. Lysera had insisted on cleaning and tending to it herself before he even touched the food. Now he chewed slowly, aware that every muscle in his body stil
