Chapter 163: The Arena
-Hugh’s POV-
It was the day of the competition. The news of the affair was spread swiftly and many new people arrived within the city.
The castle had a birds-eye view of the entire city, and just sitting on the balcony I could see and hear the crowd within the coliseum.
My goal was the gain favor, or at least show them that I shouldn’t be messed with. Whatever made the people understand the reason I was given ruling authority. If my father knew he’d probably speak out against my action saying how it’s not needed. I believe it is if I want to continue without backlash.

-An hour later-
I stepped my way to the opening of the balcony. The crowd cheered as it was time for the battles to commence.
“All those who wish to fight, make your way into the arena.!”
The arena was large, many people walked in and grabbed a weapon provided.
Quite a few turned out.
“Competitors if you wish to fight me for my position you must first battle each other. Those who are left will have the chance to battle me!”
“The rules are anyone who falls unconscious, surrenders, or is killed, is eliminated.! Now let’s begin this final competition.!”
I sat on the ledge holding my sword watching the fights. Some decided to branch off into pairs to fight or just ran around taking down anyone they could. I gave them to option to surrender but just by the way they fought it seems death is the only option.
I didn't expect the crowd to be so joyous about the fight. Father did tell of how Demons found this sort of entertainment enjoyable, but all I could see was a battle to the death. I would have thought that after 20 some odd years of peace and integration, this lust for carnage would have settled. I guess my hopes were too high.
