All three princes and princesses had been informed by their faction leaders about the potential recruits for their camp, who were performing in the arena.
Ryn Fireveil had officially joined the Military Faction, while Ragna Stormbreaker was being considered as a recruit for the Merchant Faction.
Prince Kaelan glanced at Princess Selene, silently acknowledging that her candidate had fallen to his own.
Meanwhile, Ragna walked toward Arin as the crowd was still cheering for Ryn.
For three days, these same people had clapped for her.
Now, they had completely forgotten her and completely focused on the new winner, overlooking his dirty tricks and foul plays.
As she approached, Arin said nothing.
He simply hugged her.
He was burning with vengeance.
And the only way to satisfy it was by defeating Ryn, who had not only defeated Ragna by treachery but also humiliated her—a crime Arin was not going to forget or forgive.
But that was tomorrow's battle.
