Priest Lotoru couldn't help but overhear the conversation between Attius and Mirala. As every extravagant Kontauri, he of course interjected with a wide smile and a curious tone. Patriarch Abede however, was already dealing with his inner frustrations for the Kontauri had disrupted the schedule. Luckily he had planned for such an eventuality. 
- "Ah... Lord Ikoral's a duelling man? My my, I wouldn't have dreamed of it. Perhaps we can arrange a duel during this festival eh? I'm sure it won't be as majestic as the duel between King Andrei and the late Emperor Molari, but quite a show nonetheless!"
Behind Lotoru, Patriarch Abede continued with some final preparation before the many delegations would move to the large amphitheatre and officially welcome the guests from the Drakari Imperium.
