"The second match: Duke Debei Levi versus Bishop Keman of Talisi."
Filo rushed through the announcement and hurried to the back of the Gladiatorial Arena to get the betting organized with those three from High Cliff Castle.
With Levi's strength, there was no suspense about the outcome of the duel. There was nothing much to see; it was just a matter of how long it would take him to win.
'Much better to handle the betting himself. After all, a golden opportunity to rake in cash like this wouldn't come around again.'
Inside the Gladiatorial Arena, Levi and Bishop Keman were ready to begin.
The Bishop was wearing a divine robe unique to Talisi—sapphire blue with gold-thread embroidery. He had the distinct look of someone who overindulged, with a pale face and deep, dark circles under his eyes. Levi hadn't seen him at the last council meeting.
Still, he was one of Levi's opponents in this duel.
