Ch. 586 Tournament start

**Dragon City Castle Throne Room**

Two grizzled, rough and rough looking middle aged men that had clearly seen their fair share of combat and conflict over theor many years of military service stood before the throne, as Elric sat upon it with his legs crossed. One was dressed in the uniform of the Imperial Castle Guard, and the other in what the imperial army called training armor.

It was lighter than what was worn in actual combat, but sufficient enough to provide protection from training weapons.

"Quartermasters, I have need of your services for an important event."

"How, may we serve you our Emperor." The one dressed in the castle guard uniform said in a voice that sounded like it was full of gravel.
