The third day of the tournament began, but the spectators' excitement shown on the first day could not be seen anymore.
Out of the initial six hundred Britons that participated in the tournament, only a little over four hundred were qualified to participate on the third day. Meanwhile, only the top 100 could participate in the finals on the fourth day and there were still 60 Danes to take into consideration.
In other words, if the Briton squires were to do horribly, the citizens of New Britannia might not even be able to watch their own people battle in the finals. If such were to truly occur, not only would it deal a devastating blow to the kingdom, but it would also be a large slap in the face to the king.
