In half a day, Altair became the most discussed topic throughout the Alaze Kingdom. Everyone talked about his two-seconds-match record and as a result, more and more people came to the quarterfinals just to see his performance. It was so crowded that no space could be filled in the school yard. In the end, the Emperor 'kindly' dispatched his Elite Guards to maintain the order. It caused quite a huge uproar as people started to speculate whether Altair had already attracted the Emperor's attention after one match. And of course, he was also gossiped together with Oliver, the newly acknowledged Prince of Alaze who was said to have been engaged to the member of royalty from another kingdom.
Thus came the questions; would the Emperor recruit Altair into the Elite Guards? Was Altair involved with Prince Oliver in any way? And…the royalty people talked about, could it be Altair?!
