The second match resulted in Sophiens victory with a 2.5 point lead.

Mwahaha.

The way Sophien celebrated her victory was sinister. Her face hadnt changed, but the way she smiled only with her mouth was interesting to see.

The Imperial Knights approached courteously to offer their report. The truth was, the situation was taken care of a while ago, but everyone had waited until the game was finished.

Will you go back to the palace and interrogate them? Or-

Theres no need for that. Just kill them.
