Chapter 365: Friends (1)
"That’s three for me so far. Who’s next?" Annalise asked, pointing the sword she borrowed from River at the crowd of knights which had formed to watch River earlier. "Christian! I’ve been waiting for this."
"I respectfully decline," Christian answered, putting his hands in the air. He would be a fool to pick up a sword to fight her and have Rafael on his ass about it later.
The first three knights to step up for the challenge had wanted to see her in action and were going to go easy on her because she was the lady of the manor, but when the fight started and Annalise started to laugh, they all knew a grave mistake was made.
Christian was just standing around to watch Annalise fight someone else. He found her to be a little crazy and still tried to understand what Rafael liked about her, but he had to admit that she was good at using a sword. Logan had every right to panic.
"Rafael!"
Christian looked away from Annalise to Rafael approaching them with Beatrice by his side. He couldn’t believe how the knights called Rafael’s name as if they were on the verge of crying.
It wasn’t like they were forced to stand here and fight Annalise one by one. Rafael had given a break to rest before they were to get back to training. If Annalise was to train them in the future, then there would be a problem. Christian would prefer Rafael’s way of training over whatever Annalise would have in mind.
Christian knew that she was out to get him for some unknown reason.
"You should wear a coat. It is cold outside," River said to Beatrice.
