After more than ten seconds, Jameson snapped back to his senses and nodded at Darryl. "You're very smart! That's admirable. There's no need for the next two matches. I shall admit defeat!"
The truth was that Darryl was reluctant to surrender to Jameson.
However, he had no choice. He could not win the next two matches.
The crowd cheered after Jameson admitted defeat.
"Darren!"
At the same time, Angeline was beaming. She looked at Darryl, worshipping his capability.
The excited Angeline got absent-minded at the spur of the moment and hugged Darryl's arm affectionately. She smiled and said, "How did you come up with that strategy? That's so smart."
Darryl was very composed. "It's nothing. It's a sudden idea!"
There were countless allusions from the Nine Mainland that were worth learning from. Any one of them was a classic.
Everyone looked slightly conflicted.
Princess Angeline seemed to be over-excited. As the Queen's sister, it was inappropriate for her to be so close to Darren.
At the same time, the Queen's delicate face showed a slight change of reaction. She could not help but softly say, "Angeline—"
Angeline was stunned. She immediately realized something was wrong after seeing the gazes of the people around her. She was blushing, and she quickly let go of her hand.
'What's wrong with me? How can I hold Darren's arm when so many people are watching?'
Darren was admirable, for he was sharp-witted.
"Darren!"
The Queen's gaze fell on Darryl; her beautiful face could not hide her appreciation. She said, "Yes, such a great match is rare. You did not let me down!"
The Queen's eyes were full of smiles when she said that.
"Jameson!"
The Queen looked at Jameson and smiled. "Even though the golden lions that you tamed in the Day Rise Principality are very powerful, you have no experience after all. It is okay to lose this match."
The Queen glanced at Darryl approvingly when she spoke; she was unspeakably happy. After all, he had made the Golden Lion Principality proud. He did well. Although the Queen was happy on the inside, she did not show it. The envoy from the Day Rise Principality was watching, so the Queen could not be too happy.
"Uh—"
Jameson was very embarrassed when he heard the Queen, but he managed to force a smile on his face. "Your Majesty, you are right. It is reasonable for me to lose that match—"
Jameson looked at Darryl and said, "Darren's strategy is very impressive!"
Jameson felt dejected and bitter for losing the match though he sounded nonchalant.
He thought the Golden Lion Principality would lose in the battle, but little did he expect Darren to be so witty that he won the first match with no sweat.
"Alright!"
