Me: "Okay well just reimburse the betters saying she couldn't compete because she had been poisoned by a criminal gang trying to rig the tournament, and that she threw the sword at Riddell because said gang framed him. Thus absolving the MC of the unjust hate without exposing the truth."

Me:
Thanks for the chapter!
