Ch 94: Top 8 Battles (3)
The final match among the top 8 was between Rose and Tiove. After the nobles had lost their main hope after Octavia's defeat all of them put their full support on Tiove. He was the heir to an Archduke family so they didn't mind putting their faith in him. Another participant, who was technically noble was Gabriel, but the nobles were too proud to put their faith in a bastard child.
Tiove was also incredibly strong. From his early childhood he had always sought strength crazily. He was also nominated to be the next king candidate many times but he declined that every time as if he wanted to become king he had to learn a lot of things outside combat like politics, domain management etc. But he didn't want to waste his time on those things when he could use that time to get stronger.
