Wouldn't participate as in wouldn't go watch, considering it's an event to choose his knight. But he went and participated as a candidate lol

He said he wouldn't watch the match cuz he wanted to participate

Basically the event is to win a wish and serve as the empress' night. As the empress (forgot the official name) Tei can't fight in an event made for him. He has to pretend to be someone else so he is allowes to fight and win the wish. If that helps at all? He said he wouldn't watch so that he could fight secretly because he cant both watch and fight.

He was supposed to watch it together with Shuraka, but since he was planning to actually participate/compete to win, he told Shuraka he didnt want to participate(watch it). Hope this makes sense lol

Tei said he won't participate to watch but he didn't tell Shuraka that he will participate as a warrior. Tei did that because he wants something from Shuraka

from what i understand, tei saying he wouldn't “participate” would be him sitting and watching the event happen with shuraka. what shuraka doesnt know is that tei was actually going to fight in the event. the reason why hes doing this is because he doesnt want a knight to protect himself since he’s perfectly capable of protecting himself. basically like the disney movie “brave”
lmk if this made sense
╮(￣▽￣)╭

because he want to make a wish to shuraka, the winner gets that privilege

Thank you!

Ohhh Now I understand, thank you.
