His neck? lol good luck with that.
I agree that the artist tends to skip the action-y bits a little too often. Might have to go back and read the novel at some point
@siikalahna i have a feeling the emperor does suspect something! (The author/ artist probably just didnt want to show it)
Emperor might be letting the king bait him so he (the emperor) can catch him in the act of... betrayal hahhaa which would give the emperor a reason to kill the king (rather than rejecting that banquet and leaving a backstabbing corrupt guy alive). And in the off chamce the emperor did not suspect anything, then i’m hoping his retainers would warm him as well
Wt..? This is a war, right? Soldiers (that jerks comrades) will die, if that tournament isn't won, right? And yet he refuses his superiors direct order! The order to follow the strategy with the highest chances of winning the tournament! In a war! In the middle of a fucking war! Demote him! Hang him! Anything!
