Jumping on the opportunity, they had hired outside talent to participate in the tournament, disguising the enlisted soldiers as spectators and contestants.
The plan was to attack Leslie when she would descend to award the victor but unfortunately, for them, I was becoming a variable in their plan.
Now they hoped there wouldn't even be that slight variable. Not at all.
That's why they had come to me in the middle of the night. To draw me into their plans. In order not to interfere at all.
I was not sure how much of their plan they had disclosed to me but their course of action wouldn't be far off.
In short, I was a complication they couldn't afford.

The knight who heard me scratched his head with an embarrassed expression.
"Honestly, weren't you already expecting something?"
