Chapter 45: Announcement

"We are the Burton family from the Kingdom of the Black Sun, that's our invitation," Billy took a few steps and passed a scroll to the guard's head.

"Hmmm, a very good-looking scroll, let me see if it is real." The chief guard giggled and turned around and then threw the scroll to one of the guards next to him

"If it's real? Do you think another saint would be free enough to impersonate me just to enter and hear the details of a tournament between the juniors?" The guard leader's words were illogical, but Billy tried to keep as calm as possible

"Are you trying to use your power as a Saint to pressure me? It makes me doubt you even more, wait here while I finish checking!"

"you..!!" Billy nearly grabbed the man by the neck, but one of the old men standing beside him grabbed his hand and gestured to him to look at the gate on the left, there was a Duke's expedition from the Kingdom of the Black Sun trying to get it too, and they were treated in the same humiliating manner,

but when he looked to the right he found that no one else was stopped at the gates...anyone from any other kingdom could cross just by showing their invitation, it was extremely obvious that they were targeting them!

Billy finally understood what his uncle wanted to say.. what was happening now was aimed at the Kingdom of the Black Sun. It was the royal family and the dukes who had to respond, not an Earl's family as small as them, or else the consequences would be dire since they are just guests in a foreign land.

So, as long as the rest go along with the wave, he must act like them.

Half an hour passed by standing in the sun.. the invited families from the rest of the kingdoms entered one by one without stopping for a moment, even the Duke's family from the black sun entered about ten minutes ago, but the Burtons were still standing to the side...

"basterds! Are we here to be offended?" one of the elders could no longer bear the humiliating stance and shouted

"Hehe, no offense sir, this is just a routine." The Head guard smiled

"We have been standing for nearly an hour, the announcement will be made in a few minutes!!"

"Oh? I think you're right.. well, you can go in now."

"What about routines and verification?" Billy replied in a calm voice but a faint killing intent could be detected

"You can say I'm in a good mood because you all stood obedient haha.. you can go in if you want~"

Billy paused for a moment, looking at the chief of the guards, thinking of all possible ways to kill him, but eventually sighed, "Follow me."

The large expedition entered with their heads lowered, gritting their teeth after the humiliation they had seen, but all those present were wither strong or held high positions in the family, so they were able to calm their anger.

The hall inside was very spacious. It was divided into eight main areas. Families from each kingdom gathered in their allotted part.

After a simple survey, Billy managed to find the corner of the Black Sun Kingdom, but it was completely full.

there was no room for anyone from the Burton family to sit.

"They went too far!!" One of the elders shouted when he saw this

"What do we do now? Just stand here like clowns?!"

Billy didn't know what to do, whether to just keep standing up or leaving the place in anger would count against them,

in the end, he had to choose the better of the two. he was about to curse the people in charge then rushing out of the hall, when he heard a voice, "Oh, Caesar Burton! Come on.. bring your family and come here!"

He ordered a few people sitting next to him to stand up to hand over their seats for the Burton elders

The whole Burton party looked in the direction of the voice. It was the voice of Felix Bradley, the head of the Bradley Military Institution where Caesar was studying.

everyone breathed a sigh of relief and headed toward him.

When they arrived, Billy nodded at Felix, "Thank you, sir Felix, you saved us from a really embarrassing situation..."

"Thank you, headmaster." Caesar bowed slightly

"Haha, no need, it can be said that we have some ties now... Come sit here and let the young fellows standing up exercise their legs a little."

Billy didn't know whether to laugh or cry... exercising their legs? Even before the Burton family arrived, there was little space for the Black Sun kingdom and many of them were already standing

"sir Felix, what's going on here? Why are we being treated like this?" Billy approached and asked

"I don't know either, There have been conflicts between us and Dolivar at the borders for a long time, but it shouldn't be the reason for this treatment... this kinds of small wars happen everywhere and it never affected the political relations between the kingdoms to such a degree.

It also baffles me why they use the Eight Kingdoms tournament to suppress us, it should be a way to ease the political tension, not to raise it! Don't they know that the days are turning? Soon it will be our turn to host the tournament and we will make them drink from their own cup.. strange.. very strange.." Felix shook his head, all the countries that have common borders have some conflicts but they have common interests too, an insult like the one that is happening now has no logical explanation, for now at least...

"It doesn't matter now, carry on until we return home, His Majesty will decide our reaction then." The last word from Felix was barely finished when a voice echoed, "Haha, welcome everyone to Dolivar! It's an honor for me, Joseph Dolev, to be in charge of hosting you and announcing the course of the tournament.

As you all know, each tournament has a different set of rules that the host kingdom will decide, and for this tournament, we decided that it will be made up of only two stages, one to eliminate most of the participants and the other to reveal the final ranking, as for the first elimination stage, it will be the hunting event! Of course, you all know what it is...

The second and final stage will be one-to-one combat between Elimination survivors via the board, any questions?" Mark smiled and looked around calmly.

the overall situation in the hall was quiet, some were nodding and smiling, some frowned, some stated small chats

But there was one exception.. everyone in the black sun section stood on their feet, not believing what they heard...

finally, prince William, head of the royal expedition shouted, "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY? What do you mean by the hunting event! Why haven't we been told beforehand?!"
