Chapter 129 - 129: Cold-Hearted Eleven Beauty (2) (New)

Eleven servants had eventually walked in to clean up the mess and the body, after Rachel had killed and taken care of the last of them. They didn't even bat and eyelash.

The servants seem used to 'clean up corpses' detail.

Rachel played with her bow strings and continued to be lost in thought, when she was roughly smacked with a glove.

"Sister I challenge you." Elpharae said with a confident face.

She picked it up with a frown, it wasn't even an eleven custom to challenge another with a glove, just a human one. Looks like her brother was completely influenced by his human lover.

"That's fine. Where do you want it to duel at." She said simply and emotionlessly while looking at the glove. For what whatever reason he got even angrier at his sister's nonchalance.

"The Empire Circlet" He said proudly.

Rachel shrugged her shoulders and followed her brother out, to the Empire Circlet. The arena was built before the palace itself and isn't very big when compared with others. But it has long been used for those who wished to challenge Elven royalty.

Officially a duel between to Eleven royalties' members needs to be approved by the King, but, since, Elpharae is the future King that was over written. The guards had letting them through they also seemed to want this dual to happen.

Their Father will be upset that his son bypassed him, but, he won't

"The Crown Prince is finally going to teach the Princess a Lesson"

"She's been on her high since birth. Finally going to be shown her place."

"….."

It was in whisper, but Rachel could hear everything. She of course didn't think much of it. She is not so weak, this goes for Ariawyn as well, nothing will stop her from doing what must be done.

Rachel changed her stance as Elpharae brought his sword, Princes and Sword. They always seem together. Inwardly she frowned his stance was horrible, she wondered if he picked it up for props.

A signal came and the royal bird, Saria, did her calling. This surprised Rachel as she looked at it.

Her brother got a Saria, to do an official call. She only agrees a duel between them not an Official one.

"Sister, if I win you will give me the approval for my marriage to Ryan."

"…." Rachel couldn't say anything an Official Duel between two royals. If she wins against Elpharae it would show their country, that the next King would lose to a woman. If she Loses, she….Does her brother not understand the consequences.

Before she knew it her brother had already started the duel and was before her within seconds. Rachel of course reacted but kept her face blank. Her brother's swords skills were trash anyway, but, the intension behind it was clear.

Rachel heart her heart clench up, she could not help but hesitate. Her was aiming for vital organs with clear intensions. She could see it clear as day, her younger brother hated her to this point.

She drew a blank and only reacted to defend herself.

Eventually King Avred, along with the other two brothers eventually got there. Rachel and Elpharae. She felt conflicted and unsure of the right choice, Elpharae is the future King but on the other hand if she loses.

She can't lose, but, she can't win either. Then she has to make a choice on either side. Suddenly, Rachel thought of something, the story of the hero and his harem.

"…." Her body settled, and Rachel felt that this decision, Ariawyn agreed with her.

Stab!

Elpharae froze he didn't have his c.o.c.ky smile and was just shocked. Although he hated her and had wanted to kill her, at the same time he didn't. Nor did he expect his sister to stop attacking.

"OAAAAAAAA" Saria Screamed. Rachel sighed, and looked up, yeah her heart had been stabbed. As Elpharae backed away, he won.

"You Won, congratulations." She turned around and walked away without looking back and into her room.
