"Mr Princess Aurellia Claretta, Your Grace," replied that General Felix was sitting to the right of General Myles.
Of course His Majesty was very surprised not to play to hear General Felix's answer. Not only her, but Empress Chalinda and the other 3 concubines as well as some of their children were also shocked.
Princess Aurellia Claretta has been forgotten for years in the palace. It was as if the poor princess was already considered non-existent.
His Majesty has not seen him since 5 years ago until now. The other three concubines had also never asked her whereabouts as if they were ignorant.
As for Empress Chalinda, it was not indifferent to the fate of the empress' daughter, but Her Majesty still forbade to care about the poor child. He was forced to obey that unjust edict even though his heart did not accept it.
How many times has he asked His Majesty for permission to see Princess Aurellia at the Kejora Palace, but His Majesty has not allowed it until now.
His Majesty's handsome face stiffened, suppressing his feelings that instantly appeared upon hearing Princess Aurellia's name. The death of her once-returned empress is reflected in her memory.
"Why is that sick child wandering around in this crowd?" his Majesty said coldly mixed. His voice was scary, though not loud. "Who let him out? Doesn't he realize his illness is going to bother others?"
If His Majesty is already angry like this who would dare to tame him?
His three concubines looked terrified hearing His Majesty's anger. Especially children. Empress Chalinda who was about to speak directly silenced. He was also afraid that His Majesty was already angry.
While the 5 generals and 2 high-ranking officials who sat on the right left of His Majesty also no one dared to speak. General Felix who told about the whereabouts of Princess Aurellia was immediately bowed.
He regretted why he had to answer that without being asked. He should have let it go without his mouth telling.
"Pacify Your Majesty first in order to think clearly what happened actually," Reverend Noman said trying to tame His Majesty's anger.
For a moment His Majesty took a deep breath and then blew it away. Trying to calm his feelings that had ignited his anger.
"General Felix! Why did you let your son hang out with that bastard and sick child?" his Majesty asked no longer in a cold tone, but still a bit flat. His face was no longer as stiff as before.
"For a thousand mercies, Your Majesty. Servants are ready to accept the punishment for this servant's indecency" General Felix said.
Ms. Carissa looked grimly at her husband who was judged by His Majesty because his adopted son was associating with Princess Aurellia who he said was sick. Even his daughter was friends with the princess.
Even if Your Majesty knows the truth that Princess Aurellia has recovered from her illness, of course she will change her assumption that Princess Aurellia is not cursed.
Where is there a curse that can be cured by the path of treatment?
Knowing this situation, Ms. Carissa was sure that her husband had not told Her Majesty that Princess Aurellia had recovered. Dhafin had already told them about Aurellia's disease and its cure.

"I don't blame you, General Felix," His Majesty said as his eyes returned to watch the match. "Also don't blame your son. I just regret his actions...."
"...I'm afraid that your son has caught the child's malady in the first place" he continued, "as has happened to Prince Brian. My son has dared to disobey my orders for associating with that ungodly child."
How much does His Majesty hate Princess Aurellia? Until the name is memorized, it does not want to be called. Call it inappropriate speech. Though His Majesty's speech is known to always say with good words.
While Grand Consort Cassiopea, hearing her son being linked in this matter, growled inwardly. Not to Her Majesty, but to Princess Aurellia.
Due to being caught associating with Princess Aurellia, which meant that she had defied His Majesty's orders, the image of her son was quite bad in the court family environment.
"Your Majesty. There are actually important facts that Your Majesty should know," said Reverend Noman quickly ahead of General Felix who was about to say.
"What is that fact, Pastor?" His Majesty immediately turned to Reverend Noman for wanting to know.
"Does Your Majesty still believe that what happened to Princess Aurellia is a curse?" Pastor Noman asked.
"Especially the disease that occurs suddenly without any cause if not a curse, Pastor?" his Majesty still believes Princess Aurellia's illness is a curse.
"That means that the curse cannot be healed?"
"really. For it is a punishment from the Lord of Heaven to the disobedient son."
"But the fact that the illness that befell Princess Aurellia is now cured, Your Majesty."
Of course His Majesty, the empress, and the 3 concubines were shocked to hear the words of Reverend Noman. Princess Faniza Elvira was also surprised.
Others were surprised, while Empress Chalinda was surprised but then pleased. His heart was glad to hear this good news.
If Princess Aurellia's illness has been cured, it's not a curse. The possible charges against Princess Aurellia for the murder of Empress Michella will be considered by Her Majesty.
Hopefully, the charges will be dropped and His Majesty ordered to investigate the facts. Hope so.
"Do you know where, Pastor?" asked His Majesty still surprised in astonishment.
"Hamba believes that the servant's friend, General Felix did not lie to the servant, Your Majesty," said Reverend Noman implied meaning.
His Majesty turned to General Felix, Empress Chalinda turned to Lady Carissa who was sitting behind him. Even his daughter looked at him.
Mistress Carrisa just smiled at being seen so by the empress. He didn't say anything. And the empress didn't ask anything either. Because after that the empress turned her head back to the front.
While the other 3 concubines were again busy watching the match. It was as if the talk about Princess Aurellia was not important to them and was of no importance.
While the ladies of the officials who were on the stage earlier as if busy just watching the match. They also don't know the problem.
They only know the rumors that Princess Aurellia is affected by a curse disease. What sins they commit, they know nothing.
"When have you known about this, General?" his Majesty asked obviously inquisitively. "Why not tell me so quickly?"
Looks like His Majesty is excited to know this. It means that His Majesty cares. He could already guess that Dhafin was the one who healed his daughter.
"Nor Your Majesty," said General Felix respectfully. "Hamba also has not long known this information. And I have not found the right time to tell His Majesty...."
"...That's why I told Pastor Noman first" he continued.
"Your Majesty, we'd better talk about this later" Reverend Noman suggested. "Your Majesty focus first on the match."
"Well, it will be late in the afternoon or later in the evening after this event invite Ananda Dhafin to come to the Purple Crystal Palace to talk about this," His Majesty broke up.
"You mean?"
"Young Lord Dhafin is also a participant in this tournament, Your Majesty," Reverend Noman put forth an excuse. "Hamba please Your Majesty consider the condition of Young Master Dhafin...."
"...After all, we cannot invite him so suddenly," he continued, "without asking for his approval whether he is willing to be invited in the near future or not."
★☆★☆
Just as His Majesty was about to say, Grand Consort Cassiopea immediately said with a snide tone.
"Mr Noman! Do you think Dhafin's position is higher than His Majesty's so that you are so presumptuous as to reject His Majesty's decision?"
Reverend Noman did not immediately respond to the words. He looked at His Majesty. The one who looked ahead. But his calm voice said.
"Great Concubine! If you're tired of being here, I'll order your bodyguards to escort you to your palace."
The sentence was indeed spoken calmly but contained a very reprimand to him. That is why Grand Concubine no longer dares to be presumptuous.
"Even for the carelessness of the servant, Your Majesty," he simply accepted the absurdity.
After not hearing Grand Consort Cassiopea's words other than her confession, His Holiness said to Reverend Noman.
"alright. I take your advice. You just arrange for who meets Ananda Dhafin to tell you this."
"Let the servant alone, Your Majesty," said Reverend Noman volunteered. "After this event I will meet Young Master Dhafin."
"All right."
His Majesty did not say anymore. He focused back on the fight. A while he watched the fight in arena 1. Switch to Arena 2. There the second member of the men's team was fighting.
Not long ago he watched the fight, but the fight would soon be over.
In arena 2....
Looks Kelvin's opponent has been quite overwhelmed face him. Their fight had already consumed 4 moves. Now they are in the middle of the 5th step.
But it seems to just wait for the chance of Kelvin's opponent will soon fall. The problem was how many times Kelvin punches and kicks lodged in his body.
For the umpteenth time Kelvin launched a series of attacks. Some of his attacks can still be fended off by the opponent even while grimacing.
However the following attack could no longer be repelled as both of his hands were already numb.
Starting from the right fist hit the opponent's left side and strong chest, then the left fist hit the opponent's right side. Then Kelvin continued chasing the opponent who was pushed 2 steps back while fighting it.
Once within range of the attack, quickly launch a right-footed kick following the left foot. And a crushing and strong hit the left waist, then followed the right rib.
The opponent complained of being restrained. But it hasn't fallen yet. Then Kelvin bounces slightly into the air while turning the body. Following the right leg floated straight, then hit hard and strong on the chest of the opponent.
A dughk!
"Akh...!"
The opponent was not only lined up, but was thrown backwards 1 spear while screaming stuck. Then his body fell hard on the mat-shaped stage.
While the opponent tried to get up with difficulty the referee immediately came to him. Upon seeing the condition that was no longer worth fighting, the referee declared the opponent lost and Kelvin won.
A great start for Brian Darel. Congratulations Kelvin!

The match continues to get more and more exciting. Spectators outside the tournament area are willing to heat up to watch this prestigious martial arts tournament. Although the ones who compete are only children, but they feel like they lose if they miss the interesting game.
Meanwhile, the 9-round match has been successfully carried out without feeling. The audience was still faithful to watch the match. Including His Majesty following the high officials of the palace.
Even Ms. Carrisa was still faithful to watch the match. At the moment, this beautiful woman is pregnant.
Actually General Felix forbade him to watch the game because he was pregnant. But Mrs Carrisa insisted on watching her son compete.
But he was quite relieved that his beloved wife's sitting position was not far behind him. While Ariesha can not accompany his mother, because on this stage children who can sit only the palace family.
Meanwhile in Team Brian Derel successfully won 4 fights. In the Prince Adrian team also successfully won 4 fights.
Likewise with Team Raisha Arabelle and Team Prince Nevan also successfully won 4 matches.
Now round 10, the last round of the first day is about to begin. Some of the participants had already climbed onto the stage of their respective arena.
Who fights now in Team Brian Darel in round 10 is staying him. While his opponent just a moment ago had climbed to the top of the arena by demonstrating his fascinating body fighting skills.
"It looks like this opponent of yours is the greatest opponent in his team," Aziel who was sitting next to him whispered. "I hope you don't underestimate it."
"I will follow your advice" Brian said solemnly.
Before he stood up he turned his head first to Aurellia and Ariesha. The two beautiful girls prayed to be careful.
Then he immediately stood up, continuing to tread lightly. But the following shock his body immediately moved very quickly like it disappeared. Making Princess Aurellia and the 4 little girls who were with her surprised.
This was not the first time they had witnessed such an amazing scene. But they were still amazed. As soon as they floated their beautiful pair of eyes upwards, Brian was already floating in the air.
Then his body lightly landed on the stage like a swallow. Really awesome.
Watching the scene and all the matches he had watched, it moved Princess Aurellia to learn martial arts.
He was determined to take revenge for the death of his mother. The struggle cannot be smooth without being supported by martial arts accompanied by magic.
It turned out that Dhafin's suggestion to come to watch the match came to fruition. He is now interested in learning martial arts.
