The Next Prince, Chapter 42 pg2
“If the scores are tied, the fencers will not have the right to compete with anyone else later on, and in the final elimination round, the remaining people will have one of the next Sovereign King’s heirs as one of them. Otherwise, the competition will be deemed as invalid.”
The flash from the various news agencies’ cameras was aimed at the three heirs, the bright light overwhelming and giving them a hard time to breathe. Khanin carefully watched his older and younger siblings, Evaa and Ramil, handling it better than he is, looking more used to facing the media.
He didn’t grow up here, and no matter how much he tried to dress up and wear a coat with the crown, in the end, Khanin couldn’t change the fact that he was born... and grew up like an ordinary person.
The calm and serene facial expressions of both of them were appropriate for how they had grown up, high class. Khanin bit his lower lip, feeling a little better as he tried to deal with the mental problem himself.
Amidst the crowd, the feeling of being lost he had been facing disappeared in a blink of an eye as he looked at a certain individual.
The bad feeling of being lost that he was experiencing right now vanished in the blink of an eye.
It was Charan who was looking at him before, even though they didn’t have any conversation, seeing Charan still being here gave him the comfort he needed.
Khanin admitted that he didn’t feel good about knowing his birth country since the first day he had to face the reality of losing everything, but meeting Charan made his mind change.
Family, freedom, time, and life, nothing is good in this situation, but meeting Charan changed his thoughts.
In at least bad luck... there is Charan who is considered as the only good luck that Khanin has encountered.
“The following will be a random drawing of a family name that will advance to the next round without having to compete in the first round...”
The loud sound of drums came with the announcer’s call for Khanin to wake up to the upcoming event.
“The family that will advance to the semi finals is...”
The tense atmosphere in the heart, young royal wished that His Royal
Highness would be kind to everyone this time. Khanin hoped that Atsawathewathin would be the chosen family name. Because he wanted to personally observe the mannerisms of Uncle Waseen with his own eyes.
“Puchongpisut!!”
As if a celestial being intentionally teased, Khanin took a deep breath. When that statement did not materialize, the person holding the tail of the snake clan cheered.
The loud sounds of drums echoed once again, signaling the start of the actual competition...
“Are the positions for the competition fixed, or can we play according to our plan that we prepared from the beginning?” When he donned his armor and stepped onto the field, Khanin immediately approached his team, with everyone hugging their metal masks in respect for their team leader, before allowing Young Prince to interject.
“...”
“The rules are, kill and fight until only one remains, lose and be eliminated, not a single person left. But a tie is not allowed. If it’s a tie, then it’s eliminated... The competition is six hours long. Whoever scores five first wins, or if they score more, they win.” Khanin explained the rules to his team, which were special for this competition, “but the next round will not be the same, no matter what, they will have to determine the successor to the Sovereign King on their own, can you remember the rules?”
Everyone on the team nodded in unison, including Charan.
The first round was about demonstrating potential, the team’s strength if it was a normal time. In this round, it was just a matter of grasping victory, different from the semi finals, where the team leader had to manage their team member’s moves, so as to determine the potential successor to the next Sovereign King, to showcase the strength of the dynasty.
“If that’s the case, let’s cheer. For extra excitement” Khanin clenched his unscathed hand in the middle, with everyone joining in on top of each other, before cheering each other on and booming out, a picture that gave encouragement and confidence to those who cheered.
Journalists from all agencies looked at both team members, with live camera shots panning to the Atsawathewathin side, which looked harmonious and powerful, before cutting to Thawetmetha, where Young Princess Evaa was the only one preparing on the competition field.
The large screen displayed personal histories of Young Lady from
Thawetmetha, shortly followed by the contestant’s history from
Atsawathewathin, each of whom was an unfamiliar face in the industry, but managed to capture the attention of netizens well.
‘They say the person who competes first on the Young Prince Khanin team is Itti. Ittikorn, Mahoranap, the heir to the prominent arms merchant in Emmaly,’ was a consensus view.
‘Someone said he owned a nightclub,’ but many opinions came in and argued almost simultaneously.
‘He owns a nightclub and can’t work anywhere else... Young Prince Khanin chose him to serve, who knows who else he chose to join the team, go find out for yourself. Itti Korn has been on a foreign team before but withdrew and lives in Bangkok. Then, there is the rumor that he is at
Nonoanon.’
‘In that case, this game is interesting, I’m on Itti’s side.’
‘I’m still on Young Lady Evaa’s side, even though Itti was once on a foreign team... fighting against Evaa is not possible.’
‘Hey, gambling right here is illegal... police officer, a gambler is right here.’
The messages on social media are constantly flowing like a waterfall. As soon as everyone began to search for Itti’s identity, other team members were also mentioned.
‘JaeJirat, an acting underdog and a former member of the youth team.’
