Starting With an SSS-Rank Swordsmanship Talent

177  Friendly Duels Between the Knight Apprentices

More and more guests arrived to join the celebration. The northern lords who didn't participate in the orc subjugation even came to flatter him, hoping that House Silversword wouldn't alienate them.

They experienced major financial losses after House Silversword had cut off their supply of metal ores and other raw materials. It was then that they finally realized how big of a mistake they had made.

Facing these shameless people, Alaric only responded halfheartedly before he excused himself from them.

A few hours later, one of the most anticipated parts of the celebration, the friendly duels, began.

This had already become a tradition in the North and it was a common segment in every important event.

This time, only Knight Apprentices were allowed to participate so most of them were young warriors below the age of 30.

Alaric sent the three best young warriors from the last batch of trainees to represent House Silversword.

To prevent serious injuries, the participants were only allowed to use wooden weapons.

"My lord, I think it's an overkill to send those three. We could have sent Mark or someone else instead of them." Rigor whispered after Alaric decided to send Rasmus, Aliya, and Renante.
