After a brief silence, a "buzz buzz buzz" of discussion erupted in the entire King's tent.
"Trial by combat for a wolf?"
"How is she planning to fight? Stabbing people with that little toothpick, haha!"
Incredulous, or sarcastic laughter filled the air.
Although the Count of the North is an ancient top noble, there are many eyes and ears here, who knows who said what?
"Alia!"
At this moment, Edd Stark also squeezed through the crowd, ran behind Alia, and held her shoulders.
"Alia, I know you're upset about Nymelia, but this is already the best outcome, you..."
Edd knew better than Alia about the current situation.
In everyone's eyes, the Stark family had already gained an advantage.
If there truly was a trial by combat and the Stark family sent someone as the duelist, it would mean they're pushing their luck.
And if they ask for outside help... who would participate in a trial by combat for a beast?
Regardless of whether it's right or not, this impacts reputation!
