The Tournament Battle

Given the current situation, excluding Pofalesi with its three votes, only Phrus and Bohemia remained, each with four votes. 

However, according to the rules, this was undoubtedly a violation, as the competition had already concluded and there was no provision for changing votes at this stage. 

Nevertheless, Phrus escalated the situation by threatening war, putting the King of Bohemia in a difficult position. He was unwilling to confront Phrus directly.

King Wolfgang of Bohemia, heeding the advice of his vassals and feeling somewhat humiliated, concluded that fighting a real war with Phrus over the mere title of Emperor was unnecessary. 

Reluctantly, he accepted the proposal to settle the dispute with a knightly duel for the imperial crown.

Upon hearing this, the King of Pofalesi, Leipzig, burst into laughter. His initial plan to support Bohemia fell through.
