Ronin's statement was so abrupt that all the nobles and Knights present were stunned and confused.
They didn't understand what this Knight tournament had to do with Baron Reisen of the Sain Territory.
Even Bretton, the host of the tournament, couldn't help but walk over to Ronin and whisper a reminder. "Brother, Baron Reisen must be about fifty years old. According to the rules of the tournament, he isn't eligible to compete."
At this, Reisen, who had been watching the tournament with great interest from the terrace, stepped forward. He assumed Ronin wanted to challenge him in front of all the assembled nobles.
"Ronin, I admit your strength is great, far beyond my expectations. This is a fortunate thing for Wushan Castle."
Leaning on the railing at the edge of the terrace, Reisen said, "However, today is a joyous occasion. A fight between us would inevitably lead to injury, so please forgive me for not accepting your challenge."
