Within the next half an hour, a fighting space had been created in the Nightcastle’s garden.
The King, as well as the Lords, were sitting in the shaded area of that garden. They were going to observe the duel to ensure that the blood duel would take place fairly.
The Royal Guards were closely standing behind Lord Bartholomew so that they could apprehend him if he tried to interfere in the duel.
The servants and maids weren’t allowed to stay in the periphery of the fighting arena.
Caspian didn’t want to give the chance to those from the Turner house to interfere in any way.
After Beth and Elias stood in front of each other, Caspian dictated the rules, “You two are not allowed to keep any weapons with you. Same with the poisons. You are only allowed to fight with the other person using your own strength and your blood ability if you have any.”
Beth glowered at Elias and murmured, “Too bad you don’t have noble blood in you. You invited your own death.”
