Since Everline had never actually met her great-grandfather, Sif, who had accompanied Yoshimuri the Second to the tournament, tells her of him.
"He's a founder of the House of Lee. First Generation and, along with his brother Cirro, directly exposed to the Aelisir - the waters of the "Fountain of Youth" and the source of every Lee's great power. While the kind of psycho kinetic power that we're used to now didn't manifest until the third generation of Lees, the power of the first is a much more subtle but far more potent thing. The Aelisir still flows through him, protecting him, bending fate itself to his favor. You see, every situation L'tor and his brother have faced - they've come out on top. Every one. I don't want to throw around the word unbeatable..."
"He's also a flamboyant showoff and not particularly taken to planning ahead," Yoshimuri the Second adds. "He could very well have entered the tournament to make a dramatic appearance."
Everline nods. "Whatever the case, he's family and we will welcome him as such. Keep a close watch, but otherwise treat him as a friend and ally."
Meanwhile, the match between L'tor and Ferah heats up...
Just when it becomes clear that Ferah could not defeat L'tor, he decides to quit and instead asks her to join him for dinner.
"Oh, I forgot to mention," Sif says with a pained expression. "L'tor considers himself something of a ladies's man."
Later, L'tor is admitted to see the Empress, his great-grandaughter, as well as his old aquaintance Travis Fargo.
L'tor finds that there is another old aquaintance of his for him to meet: Straxus. Without hesitation, L'tor draws a weapon on him.
"You were always so smart, Straxus, but what is this?" L'tor asks. "I'd never expect you to make such a tremendous mistake."
"And just what mistake do you suppose I've made?" Straxus wonders.
L'tor chuckles. "Giving me such a clean opportunity to kill you, of course."
Tentions rise as Ferah is brought in for the awards ceremony, but L'tor doesn't heed even Everline's words. Violence seems inevitable...
