Oh Tei better compete I want to see him beat all their asses ONLY YOU CAN PROTECT YOUR MAN...

I think you might have misunderstood, its a tournament to be the Shahbanu’s knight meaning Tei’s knight not the padishah’s

Let me see him beat their asses anyways

I think he will still fight to prove he can fight, defende himself (since the position is a knight for himself) and defende Shuraka if needed
