For one more touch of the dramatic B breaks S’s chair which sends him flying to the ground. Bayez slurps on his soup

B tells them that he has worked in the government a few times in secret over the years naming two highly regarded servants.

This is not enough for S. He demands proof and evidence of the key. B pulls out a long chain from under his tunic and on it is a black bar of metal. He claims he will open the tower tomorrow and asks G and J to be there when he does. Perhaps he picked up on the animosity

Looks tells duly about the letter he found in the college and silt starts plotting some way to reveal that Bayaz is a fake. He asks for g to bring his inquisitors to a banquet in jayez honnor.

At the dinner J is bored. He was expecting to be showered in praise but everyone seems to be focused on themselves . The prince and his fiancé are fighting viciously and without care of there audience

Just as he is about to lose the energy is back and he wins. He is beyond exhausted but victoreous. Borst lifts him into the air to celebrate his victory and congratulates him for winning fair and square. lol.

Bayez congratulated him for a magical preformance and says they will talk.

The king thinks he is his own son and hugs him, telling him his other son is a fool.

J is beyond embarrassed

The best of 7 is quickly down 3-0 when all the sudden j feels this new energy. He is faster and stronger then moments before, he no longer feels the pain from before either.
Another pov switch to Glotka who knows something is fishy. He looks around and spots bayez and knows something is wrong.
Logen accuses B of cheating.
The score tied 3-3 B relaesss the spell and J is all the sudden on the back foot again

It’s the start of the final bout in the contest. L and b are watching from the side a make a wager. L is convinced boost is going to win.

First time we had a POV switch mid chapter he now see jayezs view excited and nervous. All that vanishes when the fight actually begins. He is Wayyy outclassed. The weight of borst’s steal is too much to handle and he shows no sign of tiring

The next morning he was looking at a pile of meat that used to be a Human. He took it to the physicer in the college he told him there where bite marks from
A human (eater). Just then the new head of the inquisitors strolled in with his wild assortment of principles and chalked the whole thing up to dogs. He was insistent on that being the story

G woke up to a room colder than he could imagine. His mom was asking him about the Seed. But he was mistaken, it wasn’t his mom it’s his boss. Demanding to know where it was. The vision shifted again into a women. He told her the story he heard and she replied that she had seen it. She promised him a world of pain if he didn’t tell her where it was, then he awoke.

obviously the same women that talked to L

J is in a best of 5 match tier 2-2. He is exhausted but manages to win offscreen. Celebrating with the boys after he can’t think of anything besides Ardee. When his friends bring her up and talk about “plunging her with my sword” he loses a gasket and threatens to gut them like a chicken.
He storms off and hears them debating what the hell just happened. They joke that he loves her and he realizes it’s true

He turns her bones to water and sets the brothers insides on fire, flames breath from his mouth and eyes as he is turned to ash. Y tells F that they are eaters. He asks if her hand hurts and she tells him she never feels pain. That’s the reason they are after her
