As a child, Hargon sometimes attended real knightly Tournaments. His father also fought there. Back then, the boy couldn't contain the overwhelming pride and delight, dreaming only of growing up quickly and becoming a magnificent knight himself, attracting the admiring glances and voices of the crowd.
With a snort, whether from the sudden memories or from the cold, the empty Legran wrapped himself tighter in his worn cloak and headed towards the betting booth.
The betting is handled by a company of Silenthian merchants; for them, any battle is either war or sport, but always business. Sport is betting, betting is profit, and profit is the best thing in this world – that is their life creed.
-- Hello, fighter! What are we betting on? You can now place bets on the three finalists, on victories in the next round, and on who will knock whom out of the saddle. Just a warning – the company takes 5%.

"Ah... I'd send you 'to Stefu,' maybe he'll remind you of a lot of things 'there'..."

- So, she's 'in charge' with you? Is there anyone 'higher' up?
- Why is it so simple... 'Witch'... It's almost disrespectful... It would be better to call her 'Lady' or 'Mistress'... Voldemar burst out laughing.
- So, what's the purpose of all this 'processing' of the poor souls? What did she want to achieve with it?
- So, you were looking for 'suitable candidates'? Well, who was mainly 'worthy of your attention'?
-- Absolutely. She was always working for someone, you know? Not on the throne, but next to it, kind of.
-- She's had enough... They should have taken her out a long time ago, but she was always protected by serious people. Like Tomasz.
-- I don't know, I'm just... not in a position of authority. It's not my business. I haven't been to her place, but she definitely wasn't inviting these poor souls over for a beer.
-- All sorts of lost souls. The kind that no one will miss.

On April Fool's Day? There's still plenty of time. But... why couldn't he shake the feeling that something was amiss... a great sarcasm hidden in the choice of the expedition's start date...

- There is time to prepare, - Ottar nodded. - Will many people be involved? Is there anyone who needs to be considered first?

Actually, all this wasn't very important, but Blooddrinker was quite curious.
-- Not many. Ten to fifteen actual expedition members, and another couple of dozen sailors. Lady Zurika Silkweb should probably be considered. Her health might deteriorate, and losing the only scholar in the group is not a good idea. Most of them are strong soldiers, so there shouldn't be any problems. Oh yes, we will have a rather specific person with us – Lady Tifa. As for her... just don't worry.
