"How about that one?"
"Noo... she is kind of bland."
"huh... and that one?"
"Hmm... maybe, but not my cup of tea."
"Alright then... what about that one?"
"... I think that's a guy."
"...Are you sure? It doesn't look like on-"
"Look underneath."
"Hmm... oh! Now I see it." William said to Delmar who quieted down immediately after seeing Naomi come for them.
"What are you guys talking about?" She asked.
"Just thinking about what kind of people are going to attend today." William lied.
They were talking about the different kinds of women sitting on the large stage. He was talking about what kind of women was Delmar's preference but it seems that none was close to the demanding man's choice.
Naomi nodded, "Yes, it is going to be a spectacular event today, many people of different places and cultures are going to come here to fight."
"Have you seen the previous King's Tournaments too?" William asked.
"Only one." Naomi said, "I was 10 years old when the last one happened."
The King's Tournament
It was a tournament where various kinds of people with varying fighting styles are invited to come here and fight for the King's birthday event. But not every year, the King's Tournament is only hosted once every 10 years and all the kings have theirs on their birthdays and some don't.
So Naomi seeing it only one time was true and the last one before her had happened when she was not even born yet.
"Every fight that I had watched back then was very amazing to look at. People would come from many sects and houses and show off their amazing skills and I was immediately amazed at the start." Naomi sighed saying that, "If only the King's Tournament was every year and not only every 10 years."
William looked smilingly at her. He was surprised that she would love watching fights this much. Then he took a look at the large crowd and understood something.
"I thought we had come here for a vacation." He said, "Can you guys for a few moments turn off those engines inside your head."
"Sorry, William."
"I'll try."
William didn't think much about their words and looked to the stage as a loud horn suddenly bellowed out before a man wearing a ringmaster like outfit came to the stage.
"My dear Ladies and Gentlemen." He started with a large tone.
"Today is the start of the 12th Kings Tournament and our Beloved, the King's 52nd Birthday, please give a round of applause to him." The announcer said as the camera's all pointed to the Royal family and viewed with the help of large holographic projections.
The whole stage erupted in cheers as the royal family smiled and waved for them.
William looked at the royal family it only showed off the king, his wife, and his two firstborn children. Then his attention went on the tall king who looked quite sturdy and smiled at the camera while waving in many directions.
'
Looks ordinary enough,
' William thought, ' Chapter Experience:
But it may just be his way of trying to mask his specialty... who knows?
'
The camera's cut off the king and spoke loudly, "May the king reign for thousands of years and we get to see such grand tournaments in many years."
"Now without wasting any of your time, let's get to the real show. The CONTESTANTS!" He said before backing away as the side doors opened and a one walked inside from the side way.
A guy of average height walked towards the middle point as he smiled and showed off to the crowd his midrange features as the announcer called out his name, "Pete Lamb, A guy who is quite special... even though he doesn't look like it."
The guy he was talking about, gave him a weird look but he couldn't say anything as he was thrown out the next moment.
"Now to present someone who is actually special." The announcer said and gestured to the gate as a man walked inside.
The guy was wearing traditional robes which had white and silver features with long stripes on it, the guy had long black hair that went as long as his waist and his eyes seemed to not care about the announcer nor of the tens of thousands of crowd that was cheering for him.
"Presenting, Pan Huiling from the WaterBend Sect." The announcer's words got many cheers.
William too was interested but not on the guy but the weapon that he was carrying.
