The Lost Prince
CHAPTER 48 THE NOBLE CHILDREN'S MARTIAL ARTS TOURNAMENT PART.1: INSTEAD OF LONGING EVEN MORE HATE

Princess Aurellia knows who the real killer is. So he was determined to take revenge for the tragic death of his mother. Especially now that he has the power.

While the two loyal servants were ready to help the struggle of Princess Aurellia. They had been together for a long time with Princess Aurellia. They seem to have one heart.

Brian and Keenan did not remain silent either. They are also determined to help Aurellia fight in revenge for the death of Empress Michella who was unjustly murdered.

Dhafin is determined to help Princess Aurellia. But his intention was not to help get revenge, but he helped in order to uphold justice.

She had heard from Aurellia that her mother was a good empress. Plus Brian's statement that reveals the recognition of the current empress and her mother Brian that Empress Michella is indeed a good woman.

Only the question now why did Princess Rayna kill the old empress?

Please note, Princess Rayna Cathrine is known to be a good woman. Although he was an older brother, but he approved Darian Cashel as the king of the Amerta Kingdom.

But 3 years ago Princess Rayna decided to leave the palace. The reason is to stay away from the crowds and luxury. He decided to live in a simple and quiet village.

Who would have thought that behind her simplicity it turns out that she is an evil hearted woman. Dhafin saw in the magic mirror that Princess Rayna had mastered supernatural powers.

While Brian did not really understand what happened in the palace environment while Empress Michella was still alive. He was a kid, he didn't understand much.

Especially after the death of Empress Michella, no one has touched on the event until now. Because His Majesty forbids to talk about it.

When Empress Michella was killed, everyone seemed to agree that the killer was Aurellia. No one suspected that the real killer was Princess Rayna Cathrine. The woman was still in the palace at the time.

If you want to think about actually the accusation that Princess Aurellia as the killer is a ridiculous accusation.

Why didn't His Majesty order to clearly investigate the incident? They even dissolve in ridiculousness. As a result of the silliness, Aurellia was expelled from the palace.

But regarding this event Princess Aurellia did not want to think too late about it. For him enough he knows who the killer of his mother is. Later if he is an adult will demand a reply.

Which still stuck in his mind why in him could be embedded a lot of magic energy? He was asked directly to Dhafin.

"It is a gift from the Lord of Heaven to a special person" said Dhafin wisely.

"Am I a special person?" aurellia asked as if she doubted herself.

"Can be. The proof is that you already have a magic energy from birth."

Yet Aurellia still seemed to lack confidence. He felt that there was no special battle. Good qualities that are owned just like most people in general.

"The decision of the Lord of Heaven is never wrong, Princess," said Keenan as if to connect the wise words of Dhafin. "If He has chosen His servant as a special man, then it is a right decision."

"What Young Master Dhafin and Young Master Keenan said is true, Princess," Namira said. "Maybe you don't understand it yet. Who knows when you grow up, you can understand."

"If I had been certain that you were a special girl, Princess," Naifa said confidently and steadily.

Aurellia immediately looked at the cute-faced little girl beside her left. Her smile instantly expanded on her red lips.

He was very grateful to have 2 servants who were already considered brothers. They were always by his side when happy or sad. Now they have the energy that comes from it. Later they will definitely help his struggle with that magic energy.

The 2nd period Martial Arts Tournament has begun. The place of execution is in the central square of Kotaraja, about 1 mile more in front of the palace. There were 8 stages of the match.

The applicable provisions in this tournament are the age of the participants is limited; 10-12 years. In the fight, the player must not use any weapons. Nor can I use devotion for those who have devotion.

So, the participants who fought only used their bare hands. And only allowed to use the power in.

In this 2nd period tournament, individual system battles are no longer enforced. The new rules that apply now are team-to-team fights. This means that participants are joined in 1 team, and the team is dueling with other teams.

Each team consists of 5 children. Can be a boy all, can be a girl all, and can mix. Not required in 1 team must be only nobles. There should be at least 2 nobles in 1 team.

That is why the policy in the 2nd period was changed. So that children from among warriors or from ordinary people who have talent can participate in the tournament. A wise policy.

The participants in this tournament totaled 32 teams. Of the 32 teams it was divided into 8 groups. Each group consists of 4 teams. So each of the four teams will fight each other to fight for champions 1 and 2 in each group.

There is one interesting fact to know here. His Highness Darian Cashel had 4 wives; empress, Grand Consort, and 2 concubines. And it turns out that each of the four wives of His Majesty took part in the tournament this time.

On one of the teams in group 1 there was the son of Empress Chalinda, Prince Adrian Carel. In group 6 there was the son of Grand Concubine Cassiopea, Prince Brian Darel.

In group 8 there is the daughter of Concubine Grizelle, namely Princess Raisha Arabelle. And in group 4 there was the son of Consort Caitline, namely Prince Nevan Axel.

As already mentioned above that the stage of the fighting arena made 8 pieces. It is arranged in a row from north to south. While on the east and west where camp participants; 4 groups on the east and 4 groups on the west.

In front of the western participant camp there is a jury camp. Behind him was a large stage, where His Majesty and the royal family and several high-ranking officials were watching the match.

While on the right left of the large stage there are also 2 stages each measuring slightly smaller than the stage located in the middle of it. On that stage was the place of the other officials as well as the nobles.

While outside the tournament area where the residents watch. And now, the match had not yet begun they were already tiled there.

★☆★☆

For the stage number is calculated from the middle. Arena 1, 3, 5, and arena 7 to the south. Arena 2, 4, 6, and arena 8 to the north. And this preliminary round all 8 arena stages were used.

Before the match began, His Holiness Darian Cashel gave a speech for the implementation of the Tournament of Martial Nobles.

Provide encouragement and motivation to all participants in the competition. Also provides direction and encouragement in the competition. Do not forget to greet the people and give kindness to them.

This is the first time she has seen her father again since 5 years ago not seeing each other. It should be in his heart that he has longed for not meeting for a long time.

But whenever he remembered the old man's unjust actions towards him, the feeling seemed to be swallowed up by hatred. Yes, in his heart now there is only hatred for his father.

"How do you feel when you see His Majesty again, Aurellia?" brian asked as he glanced at Aurellia who was sitting on the row of seats at the back of the number 2.

"Sorry, Kanda, I'm lazy to talk about that person," Aurellia said in a somewhat flat tone. His attitude seemed reluctant to talk about the king.

Ariesha who sat to the right of Aurellia and Namira who sat to the left almost simultaneously turned to Aurellia. Similarly, Grania and Naifa who sit at the end of the row of seats number 2. They stared at the girl who remained veiled with trepidation.

Should be a child who has not met his parents for a long time, of course, unbearable again. But from the glare of Aurellia's sharp eyes, they knew that Aurellia hated Her Majesty very much. Where is there a sense of longing then?

Apparently Ariesha and Grania have not entered the training dorm. He said later after this tournament was finished they were allowed to enter the dormitory.

While in row number 3 and 4 seats totaling 10 children who are all ordinary children just glance briefly at Aurellia. The next time they again solemnly listened to His Majesty's speech. Among those 10 ordinary children was Chafik.

Apparently Brian seemed to be more happy to be friends with ordinary children than noble children. To the extent that he filled his support seat were mostly ordinary children.

But make no mistake they all have the martial arts and passion to learn martial arts. So Brian's friends from among ordinary children are not empty friends.

While Dhafin, Aziel, Keenan and Kelvin who sat in a row with Brian did not flinch in the slightest. They looked as if they were listening to a speech. But I don't know what they thought?

Is Dhafin on Brian Darel's team? Apparently he also wanted to be persuaded to join the tournament. Especially until now Hendry has not appeared the trunk of his nose.

After His Majesty finished his speech, got off the stage of arena 1 with General Myles, continued to sit in his chair, then Dhafin said without turning his head.

"I hope you don't harbor hatred for Her Majesty, Princess."

His tone was calm and well-mannered, but it clearly contained a reprimand.

"I've been trying, but I haven't been able to" Aurellia said with a faint sigh. His eyes closed tightly to suppress his feelings of hatred.

"Well, you must try to keep the purity of your devotion from being tainted by bad qualities."

"I'll do it, brother."

The first round match of the preliminary round had already begun....

In 1 round there are 8 matches at once. And in the first round 16 teams that compete first are 16 teams that are joined in 4 groups that are in the west.

Because in 1 team consists of 5 participants, then the opportunity to compete on each team 5x matches.

It appears that 16 participants from each team have fought on stage. Although they were still children, but they were able to display martial arts that made the audience not only feel satisfied, they were even stunned.

Prince Adrian Carel watched the match at Arena 1. The handsome but haughty face and the look of disdainful eyes never escaped this Crown Prince. In arena 1, one of the members is fighting.

Keep in mind all members of his team, Tim Prince Adrian from among the nobility and all boys. He who is arrogant character who wants to accept members from the lower classes.

Meanwhile Prince Nevan Axel also watched one of his teams fighting in arena 8. This handsome prince was carrying quietly. She is about 10 years old but still under Princess Aurellia.

His team members were not only nobles, even only 2 children; he and General Lyman's eldest son named Dareen Ardiaz. The others were 2 from the swordsman family and 1 from the common folk. And this last member is the one he grabs the most. His name is Gibson Kyler.

Meanwhile, His Highness Darian Cashel was also engrossed in watching the match. As soon as the first round was over he asked General Lyman who was sitting to the left of Reverend Noman who was sitting to his left.

"Who won in Arena 8, General Lyman?"

His Majesty did not pay much attention to the match in arena 8 because it was located at the northern end.

"Team Prince Nevan, Your Highness," said General Lyman reverently as he turned slightly to His Majesty.

Then His Majesty turned to General Myles, who was sitting to his right, and asked.

"Who won in Arena 7, General Myles?"

"Team Dylan Ruben" said General Myles with reverence. Dylan Ruben was his son.

His Majesty did not comment anything on the 2 answers to his questions earlier. Now he is back to watch the round 2 match.

His eyes looked at Arena 2. In the arena it looks Kelvin compete against the participants of one team in group 6. When he saw Kelvin instantly in his mind he remembered someone.

"General Myles! Do you know who the little veiled girl in the group 6 team is?" ask His Majesty. He had seen Aurellia while making a speech.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I did have a chance to see it" General Myles said. "But the servant did not know it. Maybe Pedeta Noman knows."

"Who is he sitting with, General Myles?" ask Reverend Noman.

"She sits on the team of Prince Brian and Dhafin."

His Majesty turned to Reverend Noman as if asking for an answer. But Reverend Noman was silent for quite a while as if thinking about who His Majesty meant.

"Mr Princess Aurellia Claretta, Your Grace," replied that General Felix was sitting to the right of General Myles.
