Chapter 698 - 373: Conspiracy and Temptation_1
Ivita arranged accommodations for both the members of the Church and the Mango Tooth Kingdom. Although Yosef Castle might seem somewhat shabby in its decorations to those high-ranking professionals, the interior was actually spacious with numerous rooms, sufficient to accommodate hundreds of soldiers without a problem.
In her own territories, among all the castles, Yosef Castle was the most well-equipped. Therefore, Ivita decided to make this castle her center of administration.
As for building a new castle...
Not only would it cost tens of thousands of pounds but also a lengthy period of ten to several decades.
She couldn’t afford to wait that long.
After welcoming these new subordinates, Ivita consulted with Tartax in the study about who should stay behind in the territory and who should participate in the knight’s tournament.
Ivita decided to leave Iron Mountain Knight, Coral Princess, and Chino Kennedy behind to manage the nobles within their territory. She herself would lead the army from the Church and the Mango Tooth Kingdom, along with the Blue Illusion Witch, Knight Kelmu, Vampire Wilson, the Hearthstone Witch, and other newly arrived high-ranking professionals to the so-called knight’s tournament.
Ivita studied the materials Tartax prepared for her on the desk.
Tartax explained to Ivita, "Lady, the so-called knight’s tournament is basically a form of entertainment for the knights during times of peace. For the ordinary citizens, it’s a kind of recreational activity. Knights who won the championship in various knight’s tournaments will receive monetary awards and the status that far exceeds those earned in the battlefield."
