"Is that true?" Quickly drinking some water to stop herself from choking on food, Kyla questioned as she felt it was the most absurd thing she heard in a while.

"I don\'t know if it\'s true, but most of the people in the town have seen their intimate acting, and some maids confirmed that our king is not interested in common women because he\'s into that sort of thing," The mother said while her daughter\'s face went red from the immortality of what they were talking.

"Not only her but there\'s also rumour that he\'s having a relationship with his own mother,"

*Cough

"What?"

"..."

"What are you even talking about? That\'s-"

At this point, even Kyla, who\'s normally calm and collected felt like her mind was going crazy.

"Is that true? But why are you people okay with it? If that\'s true?" She questioned confused.

She couldn\'t even imagine what kind of a pervert, or beast Velian is if he can lust on his own family.

"Well those are just rumours, but even if they are true, I don\'t think people would say anything because he\'s the reason why we are eating without starvation," The mother said with a sad face and looked at her daughter.

"We weren\'t like this in wartime, our kingdom had the worst taxes and starvation, I couldn\'t remember a day we lived hoping that we would wake up tomorrow, it was so lifeless,"

Kyla listened to her words carefully.

"But he changed everything, as soon as he took over the kingdom, it was like a miracle, everything started getting better,"

"You earlier he was beast right? But he hasn\'t touched any of the maids that presented themselves before him, some maids went to the castle just so they can seduce this young handsome king," The daughter said and looked at her mother.

Kyla thought hard about this strange royal family that appeared out of nowhere. Then she remembered that she was getting too absorbed in rumours, that she actually forgot her real task of finding a weakness.

\'Can I provoke her if I insult her brother? But that might backfire on me\'

Kyla thought hard about what she should do and shouldn\'t, as she didn\'t want to be a corpse at least for now.

"Doesn\'t she have any weakness? Something that could be useful for my upcoming battles?" Suddenly Kyla questioned, as she didn\'t want to hear about any more private things.

"Weakness..." Both mother and daughter thought about her question hard, but none of them was able to come to a conclusion.

The daughter piped up, her eyes wide with a sudden realisation.

"I heard that Delviny\'s weakness is her brother, Velian. If she\'s so in love with him, doesn\'t that mean he\'s her greatest weakness besides there was that incident,"

Kyla\'s heart skipped a beat at this revelation. "Really? Why do you say that? And what incident?"

The mother spoke up, her tone thoughtful. "Well, you see, Delviny has always been very protective of Velian. She\'s always been willing to do whatever it takes to keep him safe, even if it means putting herself in danger."

"There was this one time, an assassin from another kingdom tried to harm Velian, I heard from soldiers that day Delviny went crazy and almost kill all of them with her fire skills, she\'s not even a mage but she burst into flame,"

Kyla nodded, her mind racing. If Velian was truly Delviny\'s weakness, then perhaps she could use that to her advantage, but at the same time, it was dangerous.

The chances of her plans backfiring on her were high on this one, as she knew if she was able to use spells without being a mage because of shock, it might be the end of her.

After finishing her food and thanking the mother and daughter for their help, Kyla disappeared back into the bustling crowds of the marketplace, her mind whirring with possibilities.

She went to another few places and most of the places only had positive things to say about Delviny.

It really doesn\'t sit right with her how perfect she was, and she knew something was fishy but without any way to beat her, she is just digging her own grave.

Before a few hours the second round started, Kyla regrouped with Amos and the other two members of their team and they had the same disappointing face.

"Same information," Kyla asked and looked at Amos.

"Yeah, it\'s almost like they are perfect warriors, apparently she is-"

"She is in love with her brother," Kyla completed Amos\' words causing Ellen to make a weird face.

"Ugh~ just thinking about it makes my stomach rumble, but I somewhat understand, did you see his face? This new king and organiser of this tournament?"

Kyla just shrugged her shoulders. And then she noticed Amos looked like he had something more to say.

"What happened? Did you see something?" She asked in a tone, so the two kids won\'t hear them.

"The blazing sun group, I heard something rather interesting about them,"

"Adventurers were talking among each other, how they suddenly got powerful even beyond an A-ranked team, they used to be," Amos said and looked at Kyla with a strange look.

"There\'s a rumour going around that the blazing sun made a deal with a devil, and that\'s how they got their powers,"

Kyla couldn\'t help but call it a bedtime story since devils are just a concept that nobody really believes anymore.

"Maybe it\'s a rumour born out of jealousy, devils are not real, they went extinct before a long time, I don\'t think even demons believe such things anymore,"

Amos just nodded his head, but he couldn\'t help but feel they are up to something and by their gaze, he knew their target was this new king of this kingdom.

"This won\'t end just being a tournament, I hope at least, that king would survive so we can take our prizes,"

Amos said and got ready for the second round, where the individual fight are going to happen with everyone randomly matching.

"I will go easy on you if I have to fight you," Kyla said with a smile to which Amos just reacted with a sigh.

"I won\'t because you\'re too strong to hold back,"
