The sixth day of the Royal Academy Tournament was both the quarter-finals and the semi-finals.
Today, the ducal heirs will be facing each other in combat. The Tower Masters and more nobles came to watch. Even the Royals had come to watch the matches.
Only the Iron Duke was not present to watch the match. Most people did not find this strange, since the Dukedom of Stellhart was Norvaegard's first line of defense against any invader.
Still, a few found it a little suspicious that the Iron Duke wouldn't come when even the royals had.
There were also some who thought that the reason the Iron Duke didn't come was a statement saying that there was no need, since he believed that his son would win.
