The many revelations made one thing clear. Abraham and Lieutenant Dyester knew nothing about Khan. Until now, he had lived a secret life, fighting a war only he was aware of.

The topic had so many nuances it would take weeks to explore them all, and the tournament's third day was already looming. Lieutenant Dyester and Abraham had to get their priorities straight to achieve anything that night.
