CHAPTER 34

On the day the Imperial Tournament began, Nobles and People flocked to the Arena where the Tournament was being held. Many of them also gamble.

I missed the news about Kings from other Kingdoms attending the Tournament because every Tournament of Kings from other Kingdoms would be watching.

But what became a hot topic was the arrival of a Queen who had just built a Kingdom. Who else if not Queen Gabby.

This time the Throne was added by one more in the Tournament arena, as previously it was only for the Spinx Kingdom, Onyx, Folly and Azruth Empire.

The arena is already crowded with people who can only watch in the lower seats of the Arena and the middle for the Nobles, while at the top, there are five thrones for the Kings and Queens.

Those who knew the defeat of the Spinx Kingdom were even more scornful, knowing that neither the King nor the envoys from the Spinx Kingdom were present to witness the Tournament.

The people and nobles who were already in the arena bowed their heads respectfully when an Imperial Eunuch shouted the arrival of the Emperor along with Kings from other Kingdoms.

Emperor Blaise, who Concubine Yona accompanied, sat their bodies on the throne, followed by the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of the Onyx Kingdom as envoys, along with King Alejandro alone seated on their respective thrones and, of course, the throne of the Spinx Kingdom was empty in the Tournament arena.

Many people are curious about a Queen who is rumoured to be like a Goddess yet to come, even though the Tournament will start soon.

Not long after the Imperial Eunuch shouting Empress Lili's name entered the Arena, the people in the arena felt lazy to turn their heads. This was also the first time the Empress had come out to witness the Tournament in a long time. Emperor Blaise raised an eyebrow at Kasim's shout.

Empress Lili walked side by side with Queen Gabby, Those who were initially lazy to turn their heads to see the Empress stared at the Four charming Entities. The people and nobles who have never met the Empress are baffled. Which of the three beautiful women like Angels is the Empress, and who is the handsome man like God who is with the three women.

Emperor Blaise saw the Empress gaping. Indeed Queen Gabby's beauty, no one could beat her but Empress Lili herself. Emperor Blaise felt Empress Lili's aura was very different, plus Empress Lili was more charming and graceful than before.

Empress Lili and Scarla, Baba sat on the throne of the consort of Queenby Kingdom, and Gabby sat on the throne. Those in the arena were increasingly confused about which one was the Imperial Empress. Why was there Kasim who had shouted Empress Lili's name, but no one was sitting on the throne of Emperor Blaise's companion.

Emperor Blaise stood up to see Empress Lili sitting on the throne of another Kingdom's consort. "It's like there's a misunderstanding here." Emperor Blaise said, making the people in the arena look at the standing Emperor.

"Empress, why are you sitting on the throne of the Queenby Kingdom's consort?" asked the emperor, looking at Empress Lili.

Empress Lili was silent and gave a smile that fascinated those who saw her. "Sorry, Your Majesty, I asked Empress Lili to accompany me. After all, doesn't Your Majesty already have a consort of Consort Yona?" It was Gabby who answered Emperor Blaise's question.

Emperor Blaise was silent for a moment. "Well, I'm sorry, Her Majesty Queen Gabby, this is your first time witnessing the tournament. There should be an escort from the Empire." The Emperor continued to stare at Empress Lili.

People in the arena were surprised that the woman was Empress Lili, and what was even more surprising was Queen Gabby. They seemed stupid because they didn't think they saw Queen Gabby wearing a beautiful crown.

The Onyx Kingdom's Crown Prince stared intently at Empress Lili. Livian didn't expect that his sister could change this drastically. Lili's beauty fascinated Livian, and he should have realized that Lili was an Imperial Empress and his real sister.

Now and then, Livian looks at Gabby. Livian looks at Gabby with a strange look on her face. The Crown Princess, who sees Livian looking at Queen Gabby, makes her worried.

Unlike King Alenjadro, who couldn't hide his grinning smile at the sight of Queen Gabby, of course, Alejandro would be happy to remember what his master said to him.

The first match began. It starts with what is thought to be a Wizard against a Man who looks like a Knight.

In the Tournament, people from all over the Kingdom signed up for valuable prizes and became Imperial General. If they could win, the Tournament kept those who took part in high spirits.

Wizard is a title given to a person possessing Two Elements with a Tier 1-4 magic level in the Azruth empire.

The Azruth Empire gives titles to fighters ranging from those who have Two Elements with Tier 1-4 as Wizard, Three Elements with Tier 1-4 as Arch Mage and Four Elements with Tier 1-4 as Invoker, Alchemist for those who study Pharmacy as well as Witch for those who are steeped in ancient magic Spells.

The First Battle was won by the Man who cursed the Knight Armor. We need a Tier 3-4 Wizard to compete with a Tier 2 Knight because Knights usually rely on speed and shock attacks.

Gabby watched the match with sad eyes, indicating that she was sleepy and looked bored even though this was still the first match. The Empress, who saw Gabby getting sleepy, approached Gabby.

Empress Lili took the initiative to remember what Scarla had told her last night. "Your Majesty, lean back here," said Empress Lili, patting her shoulder.

Gabby leaned her head on the Empress's shoulder. People who saw them felt annoyed themselves.

The real Empress Lili has now become Gabby's lady-in-waiting without anyone in the empire knowing. Lili had remembered that Queen Gabby liked to lie on her ladies-in-waiting's lap, and it turned out to be true what Scarla said to Lili. At first, Gabby, who only leaned her head, gradually turned into Lili, who held Gabby's head and looked like she was closing her eyes.

Scarla, who saw Gabby looked bored, took the initiative. "Miss, this is grapes," said Scarla, feeding Gabby some wine. And Gabby opened her mouth without opening her eyes.

The treatment of Lili and Scarla, who spoiled Queen Gabby, was seen by many pairs of eyes in the arena. They became the attention of the ongoing match.
