"So, after the discussion and the approval from the Empress, today's competition will be divided into three sections. One will be a written test, and two will be tests on their skills!"
Master Lucaris laughed and looked at Prince Aurin and Prince Auten. "Any objections, Princes?"
Prince Aurin nodded and expressed that he had no objections.
Prince Auten chuckled and said confidently, "Today, the victory is in my hands. I don't care how the competition goes." He even gave Prince Aurin a provocative glare.
Prince Aurin pretended that he did not see it.
Darryl snorted quietly. 'Prince Auten is still acting the same way. He's still arrogant in competitions.'
"Since both princes have no objections, let the competition begin." Then, Master Lucaris waved his hand. Immediately, two fairies brought the test papers to the arena.
Then, Prince Auten and Prince Aurin sat at the desks and started doing the test.
The test had questions about ruling the Godly Region and the world. There were also questions on being a competent Heaven Emperor.
The two princes had worked hard on the test.
The people were pleased because Prince Aurin's handwriting looked beautiful. On the contrary, Prince Auten's handwriting seemed rather average.
Based on their handwriting, it seemed like Prince Aurin had done better.
"Time's up!" The two princes handed in their papers half an hour later as Master Ludacris shouted.
"Both princes are talented." After checking the test papers, Master Lucaris announced the results. "In today's written test, both princes are evenly matched and at a tie."
As Master Lucaris spoke, he subconsciously looked at Empress Heidi's countenance.
'F*ck!' Immediately, Darryl's face changed.
'D*mn it! Empress Heidi had bribed Master Lucaris. Based on the handwriting, Prince Aurin was obviously better than Prince Auten, but he's saying that they are at a tie?'
He wanted to dispute it, but he held back.
At that point, Prince Auten approached slowly and sneered at Prince Aurin. "You are my younger brother, Aurin. I will let you decide whether to attack or defend."
Prince Auten spoke with confidence. He had recently learned military deployment from Master Magaera, and he was confident.
Prince Aurin smiled and said, "I am fine either way. Brother, you may choose first."
"Okay!" Prince Auten did not intend to accommodate Prince Aurin. When Prince Aurin let him choose, he smirked and said, "Then I'll choose to attack." Then, he chose 50 soldiers.
Prince Aurin looked calm and summoned the remaining 50 soldiers to his side. He started to deploy the formation.
"Aurin!" Prince Auten snickered and looked arrogant. "If you lose this round, you are out of the running for the Heaven Emperor's throne. Why don't we strike a deal? If I am elected Heaven Emperor, you will be my right-hand man. What do you think?"
His voice was not loud, but he was arrogant, as though he would undoubtedly win.
Prince Aurin smiled. "Brother, it's too early to speak of victory. We'll talk about that when you've won."
