After leaving the tavern, Philip impatiently asked, "What do we do next?"
His confidence in Solam was growing by the minute. He had wandered around the city like a headless fly for so long without finding even a single hair of Digla's, yet the moment Solam made a move, he found a clue as easily as if he were playing a game. Philip could not help but admire him.

Although, in modern times, knight champion tournaments were no longer exclusive to Toussaint and were also held in other duchies across
