299 The Sixth Prince
Around this moment, Tiana was preparing for her semi-finals. She had a solemn expression when she found out about her next opponent.
It was the 6th Prince of the Glerian Kingdom, the man leading the Red Crown Sect.
Among the final four individuals of the Eclipse Battleground's Tournament, one was Tiana. While two were from the Red Crown Sect, and the final one belonged to the Night Mountain Sect.
Tiana was a dark horse for the crowd. She came from a mysterious and unknown background, yet she had overcome Christina, one of the tournament's powerhouses.
The crowd was unsure whether Tiana could overcome the 6th Prince as she defeated Christina.
Even the 6th Prince was unsure of how he should fight against Tiana. He had witnessed her battle against Christina.
He was confident in the fight against Christina even after the Golden Crow within her had taken over.
But he knew he couldn't overwhelm Christina in the same way Tiana did. At the very least, his existing abilities would preclude him from achieving a sweeping victory over Christina.
Thus, the 6th Prince was rather worried about his battle against Tiana.
Naturally, he had no idea that it was Azaroth who lent his energy to Tiana that allowed her to achieve that sweeping victory against Christina.
His retainers were also worried about their young lord. It was necessary for the 6th Prince to win this Eclipse Battleground's Tournament.
That is if the 6th Prince wished to have any chance of inheriting the throne.
"Should we go and threaten that woman? To give way to young master?" One of the 6th Prince's retainers suggested.
The other retainers considered it for a few seconds, "Would the threat work in intimidating her? This woman is Christina's bosom friend. She would probably mention this to Christina. And if that woman found out about it, there is no doubt that she is going to raise hell for us or at least our young lord."
"True. Her influence among the Royal Princes isn't small. The second and third princes are her dogs. She throws candy, and they happy run after it," Another individual within their group spoke with a sneer.
"You should tone it down a notch. It's possible that if someone else hears about it, they'll let them know. If the second and third princes wish to deal with you, they can do so in a variety of ways," Another individual in their group advised that guy who was speaking too loudly and provocatively.
"You should listen to him, Gerd. You may suffer badly because of those words," A cold voice was heard, one that made all these individuals experience goosebumps.
When these individuals stared in that direction, they couldn't help but stand up and speak out with a startled and respected look on their faces, "Your Highness!"
The individual who had entered was the sixth prince of the Glerian Kingdom. The one who was going to fight against Tiana soon.
"Don't take any stupid actions. By that, I mean don't threaten that woman," The sixth prince spoke as he entered the room.
He sat on an empty sofa and then ordered his retainers, "Sit."
His retainers obeyed him and sat on their respective seats. One of them was rather nervous and asked the sixth prince, "We never realized that His Highness was right here."
"Hmm. I can see that," The Sixth Prince responded with a snort. He then spoke out, "I have gauged her strength. It's nothing too impressive if we ignore that sudden boost she received against Christina."
"And if we do use that mysterious energy?" One of his retainers couldn't help but ask.
"It should be a close match. I can't say for sure. I noticed that Tiana couldn't handle that energy as well. Her body was trembling when the battle ended. The strain must have been great for her body," The Sixth Prince spoke.
"That's relieving," One of his retainers spoke.
"…Did you talk to those individuals I told you about?" The Sixth Prince suddenly asked his retainers.
"Yes. We gave them your offer. Seven of them have already agreed and signed the contract, while 14 of them have given verbal agreements, and 30 are still unsure. They want more time to think about it," One of the sixth prince's retainers in the room responded.
"I see. That's good enough for now. Make sure to record their personal information. If they are choosing someone else, I must know whose faction it is," The sixth prince ordered coldly.
"As you command, your highness."
The Eclipse Battleground's Tournament was an opportunity for various factions to flourish, just as it was a stage for sects to show off their superiority and provide exposure to the talents they possessed.
The sixth prince was attempting to grow his faction. His faction might readily grow if it included several well-known figures.
He had already created a list of those individuals and asked his retainers to approach them.
The number of people who accepted his proposal was a lot less compared to his expectation.
However, he knew that his fight against Tiana could make many of them change their minds. If his power made them believe that he had the potential to truly strive for the throne, they would accept his proposal.
Or else, it was best to try their hand somewhere else. They didn't have to enter into a political struggle between the princes.
It would be far more hassle than it would be worth.
Many warriors would try to stay clear of any political struggle. It would normally destroy the lives of common warriors or their families.
"Tomorrow's battle would decide everything. I might need to use my Greed Jade Blade," The sixth prince whispered.
The Green Jade Blade was his trusted Halberd that allowed him to defeat many strong warriors. It boosted his energy and further enhanced his fighting style.
The sixth prince was better in fighting with this Green Jade Blade than with his bare fists.
"Should we start charging it?" One of his retainers inquired about it. The immense strength contained within this Green Jade Blade has essentially stored energy.
The sixth prince spoke out solemnly, "I will charge it myself."
The Green Jade Blade could be charged by any fighter, but the boost would be larger if the warrior who would wield it charged it.
Since the sixth prince was planning to charge it, it showed that he was utterly serious about fighting against Tiana.
He was going to use all his strength to win against her.
In the meantime, Tiana had gone to meet with Christina, who was waiting for her.
Tiana was somewhat speechless as she had no idea what she should say. Azaroth's interference was absolutely unexpected for her.
But now, she thought that maybe he didn't want her to be eliminated before reaching the semi-finals or finals of this tournament. Thus, he interfered. But how could she tell Christina about this?
Fortunately for Tiana, Christina spoke out after some time while rubbing the back of her head, "…Hehe. I didn't know you held your master's energy. I guess we were even. Without using our trump cards, you were slightly stronger than me, so I can accept the result."
Tiana raised her brow as she heard that sentence, "What? How did you know about that?"
"I met him. He was there in my mind," Christina spoke and then began to inform Tiana of the entire story.
