Chapter 700 - 374: Sea Spirit Witch and Tide Witch!_1
In order not to attract too much attention, Ivita only signed up Knight Kelmu for the knight tournament. In this way, she wouldn’t stand out because no one from her side participated in the games.
The next morning, they took their seats in the square arena temporarily renovated in the center of the town. Most of the seats were open-air, and eighteen neo-Silk and gem-embellished seats were haphazardly arranged on a temporary stage, this is where the two organizing parties asked the Earls and great pirates to sit.
Behind these eighteen seats, there was an even higher chair, which was meant for the Great Governor.
Unfortunately, the Great Governor had been killed due to a curse from a strange wizard, so that was a seat that was only meant for symbolic purposes; there was going to be no one sitting on it today.
As Ivita sat in her seat, she scanned the crowd of people standing underneath the wooden platform. Most of them were ruthless pirates. As for those sitting, they were mainly the subordinates of the two Earl organizers. They were not disarmed and each carried a weapon.
A heaviness fell upon Ivita’s heart. This tournament, despite being a competition amongst knights, was truly a desperate struggle between two forces.
Ivita swept her gaze over the seventeen surrounding seats. By now, most of these seats were filled with famous pirates, great earls of Cross Island who were all either blatantly or furtively assessing Ivita, the newcomer.
Ivita noticed Countess Milly Simich, whom she had encountered the previous day, was seated in the third seat to her left. The Countess tried her best not to look at Ivita, even when their eyes accidentally met, she immediately turned her head away.
It seemed that the Countess was still upset at Ivita for refusing her plea for an alliance yesterday.
