At last, the battle was stopped through the intervention of the old knight and Yetana.
Neither the old knight nor Grand Duke Yetana would allow knights to lose their lives over something like this. Earlier, Solam had not been too heavy-handed. The defeated knights only needed treatment and would feel unwell for a few days at most before recovering completely.
But later on, Solam had been provoked into anger by those knights. He no longer showed the same restraint, and every strike became a killing blow. Two knights had already been severely injured.
