Time to Go to the Competition 

After hearing Minos' proposal, Vico did not tarnish his reputation by trying to wriggle out of fulfilling his earlier promise. He accepted Emperor Stuart's orders and left without further delay.

After losing to Minos, he didn't want to be around that young man, let alone Henry and Maximilian!

But after Emperor Stuart's show of power and, more importantly, his realization that the Black Plain Empire would have Henry and Vico to protect it, he put aside thoughts similar to those Emperor Travisani had earlier.
